@Nepia you mean the one in Coleman Mall? Im not sure TBH. But the food scene has definitely.improved since I lived there!

Back to the thread, I'm pretty keen to do the north of the north with the fam over summer. I've done absolutely nothing north of Auckland myself, so lots of new stuff to see.

Questions:

1. Is 2 weeks enough; and
2. Would you get a motorhome (we are 5ppl) or are there sufficient basic motels, cabins, campsites etc to stay at if we just rented a car?

@jegga fck Jegga, you too?

It's got $4 fishburgers at GT's still!

I was back there with the kids recently, its actually a haven for them. So much space, awesome playgrounds with proper space and no nanny state provisions (compared to Sydney). At the Lido they got the use of 2x water slides to themselves for an hour (with not even an attendant present). That's just insane fun for a kid that grew up in Sydney where queuing for an hour at Wet'n'Wild is not uncommon.

When I went for a run along the newish river path, all but 1 person waved or nodded or said hello to me in a 10km trot. And he was wearing a Wallaby cap ‍️

Harden / Houston ball isn't that pretty but it's pretty efficient and it's here to stay. The math of the 3 ball and FT's is irresistible. Best we can hope for is teams like GSW getting those 3's off in a prettier way, but they were a unicorn.

I personally hate the amount of 3's being taken, but that's probably mostly because I was an undersized forward my whole playing life who still gets a woody watching a Kevin McHale up-and-under. I guess we should be careful what we wish for though, we certainly dont want a return to the days of consistent 80 point outings.

One thing I think has become more and more pronounced recently is the gap between reg season and playoffs. The reg season is barely worth paying attention to now, we see teams happily give up seedings and home court to maintain a healthy roster in May/June. And that's also when we find out if teams can actually defend or not, because it's sure hard to tell right now.

Strange days.

@dogmeat @Nepia you both suck, Palmy is massively underrated.

It's got...

It's got......

Ahh, fck it.

@Snowy Synchronised anything is tripe, though walking still takes the cake for me.

@NTA good luck today

@Paekakboyz @rotated Maybe the firefighters union chipped in, given that god will surely now put all the fires out?

@rotated I don't think he did sign anything extra, but he did publicly state he wouldn't repeat his past efforts, then did so anyway.

Apparently the Tele is saying $8m settlement now? How the hell can RA afford that??!!!

Asking for friend, is it ok to wash down some gout medication with a mouthful of red wine?

Don't judge me him
