My daughter bought herself a Surface Pro a couple months ago and I was so impressed that I am getting one. Don't be fooled by the tablet appearance. Its a laptop.

@taniwharugby this is true but that music bs didn’t really start until the 90s.

@mariner4life the Mrs has a Fenix thing that cost me a new set of golf clubs. I just use my phone

@raznomore @mariner4life well laa dee daa! Look at you tertiary educated brain boxes.

I went to uni because they didn't ID me at the campus bar and girls.

I'm a lazy shit. Haven't put on the pounds just yet but there is a lot of lost definition and lost muscle mass.

I am going for the 3rd time this week and feeling better for it. I just let the holiday period get the better of me and I'm angry at myself. This week Im punishing myself with cardio. Also (safely) minimising the break times between sets. More circuit training too.

@jegga because the people who hate rugby are usually the same people saying it needs to be made more accessible and appealing to non-rugby people. I'm not talking about the game of rugby I'm talking about the brand of rugby. I'm not talking about good rugby people who want to grow the game either.

In the 90s there was definitely an undercurrent of rugby hate in NZ the likes of which we had not seen before. More and more people started to come out saying they didn't care about the loss in 95 and then again and more so in 99. The suddenly very vocal rugby haters were saying "We just needed to get over it". I had a uni lecturer go off one time because of people not turning up to class in 99. Mourning the loss against France. It was a rant the likes of which I am yet to hear again. But basically we were all cavemen, the rugby-loving NZ public.

There were all these things introduced in the 90s that never left, the music, etc. Maybe there was a move to make it a slightly less dour affair because we took ourselves very seriously. But to me it was marketing people who knew sweet fuck all about the game and wanted to break up their perception rugby was monotonous.

@sparky that can be said of most team sports. I was the rugby kid that played on the school basketball team. My best mates, the ones I still talk to every day are the basketball guys.

Does Air NZ have enough in the coffers to step in?

@mariner4life thats a fucken masterclass in saying nothing
