The thing is Tucker only pretends to be up Trumps arse for his viewership. He's stated privately that he "hates Donald Trump." This is the main thing to come out of the Dominion settlement. Fox hosts Hennesy, Carlson, Kilmeade, etc, don't actually believe what they promote. They are happy to tell lies, in order to keep their ratings up. Bear that in mind the next time you watch them rant about some topic.

Fox News tells lies! What we've always known to be true. Fox News paid out Dominion Voting Systems, because Fox was, "knowingly broadcasting something false" or " wilfully disregarding facts". Fox's defence was basically - President Trump was telling lies and we just reported it.

Gee Chevy. You've surpassed your normal low standards in this post. Not only have you trumpeted your Eurocentric view of the world, but right at the end you manage to include homophobia as well.

Not now he wouldn't. Seb Coe has just announced changes in athletics, so this can no longer occur. Tell your relative to stop growing his hair and shaving his legs.

Reason has it wrong. He sees the problem as coming from the top and trickling down (i.e Super rugby is boring so people are losing interest in rugby) The real problem is at the grassroots. Kids preferring gaming, playing Bball, football etc; Mum's worried about concussion; good school players being poached by "rugby schools"; etc etc. It trickles up; not down.

Exactly right Old Man. Nash has been caught and sacked, but do you reckon he's the only Cabinet member who's ever done this?

The problem is not Blues, Warriors or a clash of games. The problem is Apathetic Aucklanders. In Brisbane on Friday night crowds totaled 80,000, when the AFL and NRL games clashed.

Chiefs v Crusaders; Fijian Drua v Crusaders; Blues v Crusaders. Three top games you missed right there Mike. One team the common denominator! I think it was the NPC provinces themselves who wanted the switch to one division. Stand to be corrected though.

I think this "continuity" only really started with Steve Hansen succeeding Ted Henry, and then carried on with Ian Foster succeeding Hansen. The problem was/is that Hansen was a genuine Head Coach in the waiting, whereas Foster was probably never more than "assistant coach" standard. Given it's the Head Coach who brings in his assistants, the concept is flawed, because it's basically the current Head Coach selecting his successor.

Nanaia Mahuta is meeting with her Chinese equivalent, Qin Gang. Primarily to discuss trade, given they remain our biggest trading partner.

Jacinda Ardern played Basketball and Badminton at College.

I thought this and the post under it by Contentious, sounded the best advice I have read. It doesn't seem that hard, unless the Track Manager doesn't have the equipment to action it. The other thing I was thinking, involved keeping the punters onside., Why didn't they just shift the races, rated R75 and below, to the synthetic track? Sure there'd have been scratchings, but at least the Racing Club would put on some sort of a meeting.

He is an awful man, lucky he lives in a country where he is allowed to talk bullshit, no matter how hurtful that might be to bereaved family of little kids.

I wish I had some alarmist stories to tell like Billy Goat Gruff. But unfortunately I do not. I'm happy to report that no one I know personally, or have heard about second hand in the area I live, has suffered any complications from having a dose of the Pfizer vaccine. No family, no work mates, no one in my community. No one!!

It's raining with floods in Melbourne. It's the weather pattern. Rain on the East coast's of Aus and NZ. It'll come right again next year! Maybe!!

Talk of the Little Ice Age (not the mini ice age) in this thread is appropriate, because Tripple Alliance is parroting Donald Trump's view on climate change. This being, that their have always been climate fluctuations; what we are experiencing now is nothing new; and the effects of increased industrialisation and forest clearance are not the cause of climate warming and and so, can continue unabated. Any scientist (and there aren't many) who agree with Donald T and TA are lauded by them. Any who scientists who disagree with Tump and TA, are dismissed as fake, disingenuous, compromised and/or part of a self-serving conspiracy. Once you raise "conspiracy theories" you're dealing with people who want the facts to suit their own narrative. They're either manipulative (Donald Trump) or deluded (Tripple A, 100-1, 6xes).

I find it surprising that the Tarzino has been placed under "Alert", while the Livamol has not. In recent years the Livamol has attracted horses far below Group One ability.

"Thank you for voting young man. You are now a part of my great Russian Empire. As such, we have a war to win, so here is a rifle and a map showing the way to the front line."

Yeah, fair call about crowds generally. I think it's a culture thing here in NZ. Look at Melbourne by comparison. I lived there for some years and there was just a mindset along the lines of, "big game or race meeting at the weekend and we're going to be there." That Shield match in Wellington only got 3,000 through the gate. 3,000!!! to a Shield match, with former All Blacks and some nice up and comers playing. What do ya do?

I doubt the average worker in those four occupied provinces cares whether they're ruled by Moscow or Kiev. They just want the bombs to stop falling on them.

The most interesting thing in regard to the NPC is that no one is turning up to the games. Empty grounds abound. Not sure why this is, because there's nothing wrong with the rugby being played at the level.

I don't read attachments, but given this threads heading, ("Prepare for Financial Disaster in 2022"), I'm going to guess it's posted by Mike Hosking.

6exs was right all along. Donald Trump surely is the new Messiah. All he needs to do is think about something and it will come to pass. Praise the Lord!

Have the bottom team relegated to the Heartland Comp. That would retain their interest!

If Avery thinks he won't find any domestic violence; kids in poverty; obesity; and bullying in schools over in Aus, he's dreamin mate. "It's Australia Ray. Not Xanadu."
