@jegga love the way she fucks up and just gets on with it.
There was an earlier American Idol contestant, Crystal Bowersox, who I thought was fantastic at Joplin. I bought her first album and it sucked major shit.
I don’t think I ever heard of her , probably for the best .
Pink really nailed that version imho

@jegga It's not just an NZ problem
Ffs, I see scientists are suggesting theres an increasing likelihood of a link between gut biomes and autism. Wakefield stopped clock moment was suggesting there might be too, look at the way he went about proving it

@jegga in a really shitty way it's like 21st's, weddings, kids, divorces etc. Had a couple of people go in my 30's but only recently into my 40's. I know our rates have been high for a long time, especially with young men. But we are far more aware of it now.
Yeah when I was a teenager I knew of a couple of people that tried or succeeded. I thought it was more of a younger persons thing but it seems like older guys are doing it too or maybe I'm just noticing it because I'm the same age?
Because its the fern I should point out that he was a complete and utter sports nut and he used to arrange his weekend around the Skysport schedule and the last thing he watched was the cricket world cup final. There were a few jokes about that understandably tipping him over the edge.

@mariner4life I watched ep5 last night...Some superb dialogue, with a seriously cringey ending.
no spoilers, but good cringy?
Urban's accent is cracking me up! Ever 2nd word is just flat kiwi
Homelander says to him "love the accent".
The dolphin scene is one of my favourite things I've seen on tv this year. I never thought I'd see something as fucked up as that in a tv show.
12 Taylor, Little, Ieremia, Mauger, McAlister, Nonu
Don't really remember Taylor, Nonu would be my pick but I always rated Ieremia .
@jegga what @Paekakboyz said
Cheers, is anyone else noticing in their extended circle that this seems to be happening amongst middle aged men more often these days?
Never watched Home and Away but this guy was only 41 and judging by the phone numbers at the bottom of the story you can guess what happened and thats fucking sad.
My mate Paul took his life three weeks ago, he was 49 and took his wife leaving him very badly . He left behind a lot of sad angry people who loved him.

I've been a Janis Joplin fan for a long time, I approve of this
@jegga Wallace did run for President - for the Progressives. At least he fessed up and admitted the USSR was evil.
Interesting guy - should have been the President after FDR but lost the VP nomination despite being the popular party choice because some good ol' boys didn't like his anti-segregationist stance.
Real contrast to Truman. World would be a different place if he'd compromised on his racial equality principals. Also founded a multi billion dollar company.
Prett sure he'd be on the protesters side in HK
Thanks for the correction, I’m glad he didn’t become president. Truman wasn’t taking any shit from Stalin to the point of threatening nukes if he didn’t his troops out of Iran as per their wartime deal .
