Re: Worst Commentators/Pundits
I'll volunteer the two guys commentating the Hawke's Bay v Bay of Plenty Ranfurly Shield match last weekend in NZ. As it is a challenge shield the visitor has to beat the home team to win it. It was complicated by the fact there is a (needless) new rule in NZ provincial rugby that if the game is dra...

Re: “I want to see my GP!”
My GP does phone calls first then an in person appointment if necessary. I’m actually quite comfortable with speaking to the doctor on the phone or maybe a zoom first, I think it might be more efficient. But I appreciate for some it won’t be right. It’s impossible to get an appointment with my GP, ...
