This seems the best thread to write this....

I swear if that latest Trivago ad where the old bitch complains she’s paying more for her room then the hot bitch keeps playing over and over and over I’ll I’ll I’ll.... I’ll do something!!

THIS - times much.
I'm just in NZ for the summer, but within a week I'd noticed this... the same very small number of ads just being repeated over, and over, and over again. That trivago bitch - often twice in the same ads break.
And Sky - what the fuck? I thought one paid for Sky, so that one could avoid ads. Watching some of those Sky sports channels - there were literally more ads on there than what I've seen on Free-To-Air.
But then - the only time I ever see broadcast TV is when in NZ, staying with friends/family. Perhaps it's just as bad in other countries?

@chimoaus is it wrong that I read that as MILF?

Sicko

She might be though...

In her day she was mighty fine, still an attractive older woman for sure.

Dear Penthouse

I always thought these letters were just made up, and never happened to anyone, that was until two weeks ago when...

Oh - I remember this game from a kid... we take turns writing a line of the story, right?
So
... my Mother-In-Law came to stay for Christmas, and brought a basket of gifts. The one with my name on the tag was a very strange shape...

So... I'm back in New Zealand for summer, and trying to find excuses to travel around the place.
eg: last time I was here, I rode around the North Island visiting every waterfall I could think of.
For this time - I was thinking of visiting/tasting all the "Best ... in New Zealand"... eg: the Best Pie in NZ (apparently - Tauranga?); the Best Fish and Chips in New Zealand (I haven't found a definitive award for that, other than the Best CHIPS in NZ - Okato); etc, etc.
And figured... maybe I'd just let the Fern do the work for me... suggest the best pies, fish/chips, sausages, restaurants, etc in NZ - and I'll use that as a basis/excuse for getting on the bike and visiting some spots I wouldn't normally otherwise.
I'm typically based in central North Island - but very keen to travel further afield than normal... I've probably got all summer.

@Nevorian doesn't know how to cook, clearly.

I don't see any problem.

Yokohama Bay Brewery Pilsner.

Google gives me this

That's.... unfortunate. And not what I meant.... promise.
But yeah - trying to find the actual girl... there's no trace of her, other than zooming in the googlemaps photos for the actual BrewPub. In this day and age, very strange.

Edit - not the exact poster that first embedded her into my memory, and not the best, but the same girl...

In the interests of battling racism, and diversifying my wank-bank portfolio... I have “emotionally” invested in the poster-girl for Yokohama Bay Brewery Pilsner.
Look her up, I'm too tired/incompetent to post an image.

@antipodean The hole in your theory is that they have so many there is bound to be one or two out of the many thousands of yank sportsmen with the basic suitable physical/athletic foundations that will be able adapt to rugby and could approach star status given time.

And they have massive financial resources. If you had the cream of their athletic talent playing rugby, after a while I have no doubt they could seriously contend

Let's presume that rugby did manage to take the cream of their athletic talent and they applied their enormous economic resources, you'd still have to wait until their was sufficient depth to create the required level of talent to compete.

That would still take a generation. While they get paid what they do to play weirdo rugby with body armour or bouncy netball, that's never going to happen.

“there”.
but otherwise, agree

I love Spitfires, never tire of looking skyward when one occasionally flies by, and that beautiful sound!!

And taking off....100m, gone. Pure power, and not fucking around hiding it.
Good song also, sums it up well. Public Broadcasting Service.
