  tried a few different beers (sadly mostly mainstream crap) this week, but one that was served at our hotel, Furphy Refreshing Ale stood out. Nice drop, nice flavour, from the LIttle Creatures stable of drinks I think

  Just stumbled upon what looks like a cool series on Sky Cricket (UK) called Mind Games. "A compelling exploration of the mental side of cricket, covering aspects such as confidence, self belief and mental strength." Looks to feature loads of players.

  Tried watching Jaws the revenge which has zero on rotten tomatoes, lasted 10 minutes . The scene where the guy gets his arm bitten off is beyond bad.

  In case you missed this, this was a good read - I know it's not the relevant thread, but since I mentioned Softbank I thought I'd better provide relevance https://www.businessinsider.com/weworks-nightmare-ipo

  @Nepia ha, interesting I really like the song, though I kill it at the 5ish min mark which I assume is the radio version end - agree the last 3mins are pretty unnecessary. I was never the biggest fan of G&R TBH, but I'll belt out the words to Sweet Child and NR all day long. I am enjoying the Nirvana renaissance, and I'm moving him towards Pearl Jam and and the RHCP's which is more me

  Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali is excellent or for something at the other end of the spectrum ie comedy Graeme Simsion's - The Rosie Project is a fun read

  I've been really enjoying The Wrestlers series on Vice (Sky channel). Wide range of wrestling covered - US, Mexico, Canada, Japan, even Congo. I sort of knew it happened, but never realised the extent that the wrestlers the levels below the broadcast TV shows really take some big bumps on a weekly basis.

  @MajorRage said in Non Electric Vehicles: @TeWaio said in Non Electric Vehicles: Thanks @MajorRage and @JC. I'm planning on paying cash, from a dealer, so thinking of going near quarter end on a Friday to try and haggle price down. Probably in September, as apparently convertibles trade cheaper going into winter (and SUVs higher, with the opposite occurring in Spring?). Any update? I went to a Ferrari auction with a friend a couple of weeks back. A lot didn't sell, so I think the market has softened a bit. Best value I think was a 2013 FF ex-owned by Jay Kay which barely broke 100k. Will be around January time hopefully, you lot will be the first to know if it happens

  @antipodean said in Bucket List!: @mariner4life said in Bucket List!: @Rembrandt said in Bucket List!: @mariner4life said in Bucket List!: Fuck you Metallica!!! Can't believe this. I have 2 tickets to Auckland, return flights from Melbourne and accomodation all booked as well as domestic return flights for my brother for what was going to be the greatest surprise birthday for him ever. Hoping credit card insurance covers something. Bloody devastating, I wonder if slipknot m8ght come on their own? Accommodation cancellable. I'm fucked on my Jetstar flights though That's what you get for flying shitstar. At least I get a credit with Qantas. A pity the way you can use their credit sucks balls. The last lot I had I wound up using towards business class to NZ because it was otherwise impossible to use up and about to expire.
