Re: So, coronavirus...


So on Thursday, after a day in the office, I get home and don't feel so great :crazy: . by 9pm , my temp goes to 39.2. Rough night, lots of shivers and lying on cold bathroom tiles. Manage 2-3 hours of sleep, wake up ~6am and my guts let go.

Temp 38.2, but no other COVID symptoms. I can't go ...

Re: The Brexit Thread




Brits were massive seafood eaters until the cost started to soar a legacy of the Union. You can export fish to almost anywhere in the world. Nice piece of disengenous remoaning, have a thumbs up :thumbup:


So when your fishermen can export less their costs will go down? :eh:

Re: The Brexit Thread


The whole issue around fishing rights is beyond me, the UK dont eat that much fish compared to the rest of the EU, the EU are the biggest customer so if no deal goes through we will have all that fish, a small domestic market and no buyers from the EU....real forward thinking by the bouffant ...

Re: New Zealand Rugby set to ditch SANZAAR, Super Rugby - report



So, still a conference system if the winners go on to play other competition winners. We'll do it the same way and call it a different name so they won't know the difference (just no inter-conference games during the round robin)


Can't help feeling this is a money loser. The whole draw of ...

Re: 46% of NZ pro players don't rate Ian Foster as All Black coach - Shock Poll


I just heard Angua Ta'avao interviewed at half time, and he slipped in a really passive aggressive suggestion that the reason the Chiefs were losing was because the Canes were lying all over the ball and the ref wasn't dealing with it.

He's an articulate chap, and he tried to dress it up with the ...

Re: Beauden Barrett is the GOAT



I certainly agree with the premise and have posted as much before, BB offered the most from the bench, that seems clear to me. I thought Cruden was the big loss, wobbly from the tee though that could have been fixed. In his pomp outstanding at 10, knew exactly when to pull the pin. All things ...

Nowhere near the player he was 014-017 certainly lost some pace as you would expect with ageing. Kick and clapper for the Blues thus far this season.

Re: Suggestions

I do like a post up/downvote function. Whilst I appreciate it's a measure of nothing of value it does give you the opportunity to (begrudgingly) clandestinely acknowledge a decent post in the unlikely event that one of your least favourite bordies should hang one.
