Good luck Slick, Seeing kiwias days count earlier made me look up mine, turns out I've gone past 500 days. I think in the last 300 odd I would have thought I got close to actually having a drink only twice, but the realization of how much better I felt the next day - no hangover for a whole day at l...

Wallabies under control

The big fact hunt

It's interesting how I feel about drinking compared to this time last year. One thing I think I've only proper realised is just how much I was thinking of having a couple for some special occasions wasn't really because I felt like I was missing out. My drinking - well the majority of it in the prob...

Been quite a while since I posted on here. The booze at work events thing is definitely a mental barrier i struggled with last year. Having stopped in early September 2022, the xmas functions that year, and even some stuff in March felt awkward and frustrating. This year they were pretty much normal...

Yep I've been smashing chocolate and cookies pretty much every night, coupled with stopping exercise I'm really sliding beautifully into a middle aged body :grin: Same with me. Never ate anything sweet before but now loving chocolate bars. Must have been the amount of sugary stuff in the booze. Mos...

Great stuff MM Question, how's the head? I'm beginning to wonder if the fuzzyness is just me, or if it clears after that time! I have a 5 year old and 7 month old, fuzziness is just me for now... Although think it has got worse since dropping off the exercise How’s your sweet tooth? When I was drin...

Yes to all of that, ER. The writing's on the wall. It's gonna be a National/ACT Coalition Govt. Don't think I want to live through years of their targetted austerity, so will probably move offshore for a while. Again. Just had the same conversation with my wife this evening. Although we've got 2 yo...

Just clicked over 12 months since the last drink. Have had a few (maybe 8), 0% beers over that time but nothing else. Breakfast time kick offs should stop any of the rwc related temptation. Haven't tried the cold swimming yet, and will probably gladly miss those this winter :smile: Haven't read thi...

It was doing quite well up to 60mph. Scary after that, it's pretty much Goodnight Vienna, though testing to 300mph seems extreme I was scratching my head as to how it would be possible to get the vehicle to such speed. Simulation with CGI. Looked pretty real though. Unless it’s launched by a rail g...

I've got an aversion to a kicker who gets his kicks charged down more than once, myself. When it actually comes back off a team mate's head though... that's fucking woeful. Yeah I'm assuming that's why jordie isn't given clearing kicks despite the distance he can get, he seems a little slow from ha...

Perofeta is currently the back up 10 behind Barrett... and I don't see that changing while Foster sees Barrett as a decent bloke who's always done the right thing when called on. Yeah, you're probably right. But having watched both Perofeta and Sullivan closely for the last couple of years, I now t...

I'd it Riki Swannel who did the play by play in woman's world cup final amd has done some super games/sevens tournaments since? I've found her very good in both a main commentator and sideline comments role - adds to it without going over the top, clearly spoken and makes actual points rather than a...

My daughter just started primary this year, school shirts, trousers, shorts, sun hats for summer terms, school raincoat, school jumper. Thankfully the school encourage the second hand trading among parents, otherwise spending $40-60 on each bit of kit that she would grow out of in 4 months would do ...

Indeed. Also if its a knock on and your team gets possession and make it 1cm past where the ball was knocked on it should be advantage over. Nah, I see your point, but 1cm is hardly advantage over. Also, do you really want TMOs weighing in on a difference of centimetres? If your team gathers the ba...

A couple of tweaks I'd like to see for this is: Use a central team each competition weekend of 2-3 refs to watch a whole weekend of competition - this means the tmo at the game can continue monitoring play as its happening. Hopefully it also results in some consistency. Allow them to upgrade to ful...

Great articles. He clearly is a remarkable leader. Still, he's no Steve "Steve" Borthwick. :lol: :lol: Well, no. Perhaps we'll never have a Borthwick of our own, or an Eddie. We do have a Fozzie though, so that's something. Just on the age and weight thing... I remember discussing this on...

Not his best game so far, but I reckon he'll be a very good test player before much longer.
Has a nice, sharp pass and he's a mile ahead of Christie.

Agree with this, Christie is just as rough without the sharp pass

Just wonder if the battle is really won when one can open a bottle and know it won't end up with lying in a gutter? I'm new to this, but not sure it's a battle with alcohol, more a war with lots of battles in it. Yes you might win that battle, but there could be a reversal if you go into battle too...

Given how many times they've said how awesome melbourne is, I'm guessing tourism melbourne/Victoria have thrown them enough cash that crowd numbers only need to be minimal to make it successuful

Good call on the Lego games, is it sad I really liked the batman movie?

CM11 what's the deal with horizon, wander around and break stuff? 200 hours of gameplay seems achievable if I work from home more... for the kids

Pretty sure tomorrow night will be the 6 month anniversary of my last big night out which resulted in me realizing it was time to ditch the bottle. I must say thank you to everyone on this thread current and past, it was the closest thing I came to doing group sessions. I've had a few days where I t...

Gaming knowledge folk can you help me. I've just unpacked the ps4 for the first time in 5 years, I have a short grace period where I will have time to play a bit in the guise of looking after a newborn. I was going to get the playstation pass to try some free games and the Witcher for $30. When I tu...

Do Wales have any great hope if young players coming through or anything positive to look forward to?

Thought I'd start a catch-all for this season's Super Rugby chat and match discussions. Go the Crusaders! Will they even have a coach? For the blues, fingers crossed we can limit the damage our brain dead props like to inflict on us. Dalton and sotutu to create a monster partnership them sit in tra...

Went to do the weekly supermarket shop, jeez it doesn't take much to get people to turn feral. All bread gone, carpark aggro high. I mean it is auckland, but still. Have the tramp securely fastened, rest of the outdoor furniture I'd be happy to donate to someone roof so that's sorted. Fingers crosse...

I was gonna mention the Mosque too. She had some challenging times to navigate and really did well - in my humble opinion. I might have to agree with GS on the outlook for NZ. Maybe not a good time for me to be 'hoping' to move back home. :cry: It is what it is, inflation, struggling economies in k...

5 !!! I tried to measure the shower temp, and it was about 14. But I was using a meat thermometer so don’t know the accuracy. So that’s probably tepid to you!! I’m not worthy. 5 degrees. That’s nuts. Apparently it gets to its coldest at the end of Feb but I can’t see it getting much lower than this...

Great work Kiwias- going by the PR threads I can imagine you've helped innumerable people on their own journey in that time as well

Keep soon to be new born alive

Enjoying a Christmas drink today. Not getting shit faced, just having a few drinks. This for me is a massive, huge positive. I am in total control. This feels very different and knowing that I can now moderate my drinking and know when enough is enough is a massive break though. Sorry for the selve...

Last time their process pretty much guaranteed any other good candidates had been signed, can't see them not making that mistake again

I thought it was just an ear infection?? According to the NZ Herald... Will Jordan, one option to assume fullback duties, will take no part in this tour due to a persisting vestibular issue. From Audiology 101 pathologies, it would appear that Jordan might have a balance/movement issue then. Assume...
