Shitloads better than I thought. I was imagining close to twenty. Back in my box then.

Well done! Agree entirely about the relishing the quiet parts as it's so full on for London!
But you can piss off out of my thread with the only started in November and smashing my time shit ...
Haha was more like September that I started - and you have got an extra decade on me so gotta look at all the variables 😉
But you're only ever competing with yourself!
@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders v Force:
@Bones in fairness, it’s not like we play inside where it’s nice and dr….oh….nevermind
It's not like we had a glut of possession either, it was 50/50 pretty much so that's not a factor. Anyone got handling error stats to completely shut down my off the cuff take?

Not really, we have five players available who have been capped and play first five, including three of the top four from recent AB squads.
One of those should be nowhere near an AB team, but the others are all reasonable choices. Dmac should be easily the first choice. We are fine.
Add in Plummer, Love, and even Burke (if available for this year) and we aren’t in bad shape.
I can't say I share your optimisim.
It was to be Perofeta's year to cement himself as an AB 10 and he's let it slip through his fingers, the Hurricane's own fans don't even rate Cameron, Love has spent the entire season at fullback, Ioane is a disaster. Plummer is the only one in decent form (at 1st 5) and he's more of a utility than a straight up first 5.
BB's best years at 1st 5 are well behind him, we're kinda left with the option of praying that DMac doesn't get injured.
I was really hoping that someone would come through but TBH the contenders appear to be getting worse not getting better.
Yawn.
And I suppose everything would be ok if Mo’unga came back?
I’m not enthusiastic, this is just the reality of a World Cup cycle.
We’ve had plenty of years when incumbents weren’t playing that well. If Perofeta is losing out to Plummer and Razor wants form, then fine that’s how selection works, pick him.
If he wants experience with test rugby, he has three options and since he’s surf fucking Jesus, he can fucking coach them.
You can not coach trash it stays as trash you have to have some talent to coach and you have mentioned fuck all talent..
So it is what I think it is - people getting in to trash the available players because they are worried that the All Blacks might lose a few games, and therefore Razor might not look like he has a golden asshole.
No just someone who dislikes a coach and has to talk some trash not looking at you off course.
The distinction you are missing is that I don’t dislike Razor - he’s a question mark at international level as he should be. I 100% support the ABs and he’s our coach - I hope he’s great.
However, those who have his cock so far down their throats they can’t make rational comments about players, well that’s a bit different, not looking at you of course.
Just as well,It shows you dislike him it is obvious.
Again, I think you mistake me not wanting to fellate him at any opportunity with a personal opinion on his coaching capability at international level.
Now, if he wins us a WC, all that will change.
Your dislike shines out in your posts like the sun coming up in the morning.
That's a weird take man. Of all the people anti Razor, gt has never occurred to me as one of them.

6 weeks to go until Edinburgh marathon. Gotta get that 4 hours.
Tracking is ok, could be better, a week in St Lucia didn't help.
However, broke my half marathon record over the week with a 1:42:37. I'll take that, anyway.
That’s like 4:50/km? Amazing effort mate!
@MajorRage said in British Politics:
The movement in Ireland to stop immigration / asylum is gathering momentum at one hell of a speed.
Huge protests over there which MSM chooses to barely cover.
Which is doubly ironic seeing how 'mobile' a large number of the Irish are
Liam Napier said on the Rugby Direct podcast that the Rebels are done, and next season will be an 11 team competition.
@MajorRage said in Musk & Twitter:
I'm simply adding context on my original post to refute suggestions that Twitter is now just a right wing propaganda platform. I'm also saying that under the For You part, in my view (should was the wrong word to use here), some opposite positions is the better thing to do.
Don't boost anything & publish the recommendations algorithm
(as for your suggestion how would you program 'opposite view' the levels of bias in the code would be enormous regardless of if your intentions are good)
@Nepia said in Movie review thread...:
Completed my watch of the Best Picture nominees, so here's my ranking of them from worst to best.
6 . Zone of Interest: The best holocaust movie since Schindler's List (that's a weird thing to write). Oddly enough it kind of doesn't have an overarching narrative, something I'd normally find annoying. Tells a bit of the story of the outside life of the Hoess the Auschwitz commander and his family.
Beautifully shot.
Great sets and scenes.
Really well acted.
But agree about the narrative.
Once you're presented with the juxtaposition of the blissfully happy, sunny and for the most part care free lives of the Germans versus the unseen (except for the smoke) and terrible lives & deaths of the prisoners there's not much else to say about the film.
It appeared that he saw the prisoners as numbers to eliminate with not real hatred or repugnance expressed.
What was the reason behind his vomiting?
That's just for starters.
