Awesome stuff you see on the internet

[Victor Meldrew]

I was at a wedding in Spain a few years back.

It was about 2am, and we had retreated to the residents' bar - a few sheets to the wind. I step outside to the terrace with my non-rugby fan mate and after a moment I notice that Nigel fucking Owens is standing beside us with a couple of mates.

I'd usually be pretty respectful and not bother people, but hey it's a wedding and he must be staying at the hotel. So I say hello to him, and he looks over at me with that grin we all know and love. I turn to my mate and explain who he is, how he's the greatest referee in any sport. But midway through I notice that Nige is staring at me like I've shat on his toe. I mean he's looking at me with utter contempt, I kid you not. He promptly then turns away and proceeds to ignore us. Wasn't expecting a hug, but I was a bit disappointed.

So me and my mate go back inside and one of the other lads who is a rugby fan asks did we spot who was standing beside us on the terrace. I say yeah Nigel Owens, but he was a bit rude.

My mate: "That's Jonathan Davies."

David dealing to Goliath but would have been even better if it was the tiny little blue player on the far left of the screen wearing the scrum cup doing it!

Low reoffending rates for private prison prompt $6m in bonuses

A private prison operator has been paid millions for reoffending rates that are incredibly low, even by international standards.

Not sure whether this falls under the "awesome" category, which it would be if completely true, or whether it could simply be just be that the released prisoners learnt new ways of how not to be caught when re-offending whilst inside or even more simply that the NZ Police have just not yet got round to arresting them for any offences they might have done after being released.

@Higgins for the most part I think our cops do a great job and catch a good number of offenders, it's usually the courts that let them back into the community.

So hopefully these guys are just good at rehabilitation.

There is a thread for stupid shit, which is a bit more relevant! 😜

If you didn't like it, it's probably in the right thread.

But one man’s awesome is another man’s stupid shit.

Oh wait. I thought this was the US politics thread. Apologies.
