Jones can pick who he wants. Simon Shaw would seem his most eccentric choice. My team is better.

Best Players Sparky has seen (ie since 1983):

1 Os Du Randt (South Africa) 2.

@no-quarter said in Stupid shit you see on the internet:

I dare any of you blokes in the dating game to give the contractual consent a go on your first date:

"Contractual consent involves creating a written contract that outlines the sexual preferences of the partners involved and clearly states the sexual acts that can and can’t be performed, and in which situations. For some people, contractual consent means consent isn’t needed in the moment. For others, verbal, implied, or enthusiastic consent still need to happen."

Thinking on that more I might try that with the wife, see if I can slip a few extras into the fine print...

I've read of married couples who sign contracts stipulating that they have to have sex a certain number of times a week.

Gee it's tempting to bring one of those forms just to see the reaction. @MN5 you game?

Sorry, can you clarify, is this contractual consent between @MN5 and yourself?

Looks like the Russians have hacked the fern

Have you considered weight and balance in your purchase? How comfortable will it be for one hand browsing?

Is it just me or does this look really cool, not so cool that I would want one myself. Kinda like a "Red badge of Courage" or Purple Heart. Makes you look tough too.

Not the sound barrier but a cool pic. It's also not much of a barrier anymore.

You are obviously misled, that is the deployment of the Geo-Engineering and Mind Control vapour trails

Mere Kirihimete you bunch of old curmudgeons!

Bring on the Rugby Season and a Happy World Cup for the good guys

@mariner4life said in Aussie Rugby in general:

@Chris-B. maybe Digby took one look at the Reds, thought "fuck that, i wouldn't mind winning a couple of games".

A lot of frustrated Wallaby fan friends are sharing that Jones interview and agreeing whole heartedly. I can't agree with much except the fact that what they are doing now isn't working. He's in the private schools-Sydney Clubs-NSW/Qld-Wallabies model that existed in the 80s. Typical of Jones, a lot of mouth and soundbite, very little in the way of thought.

And why do all these commentators assume that the NZRU want to play in the provincial trans-tasman comp?

Maybe add one team to the provincial comp and call them the Australian Warriors ?!?

Big backyard

Big money player

@taniwharugby if the haka doesn't scare him my pasty white fish belly will!

I am spending an inordinate amount of time walking around the backyard in my All Blacks Jersey

All this talk is getting me excited.

I hope Ms MN5s headache has cleared up by the time tonight rolls around.

it won't have

Bugger, I might have to roll the big guns out and pick up a nice takeaway, a bottle of red and then sit through some bullshit TV about a farmer choosing a wife.while rubbing her feet.

.....

Sounds like a perfect ad for "self pleasure" less effort same result

For the first time in 20 years I have voted. All was done online, register, download voting papers and then uploading my votes. Very impressed

@mariner4life jesus that's some radar you have that you can "spot" baps 1 second after I had posted, very impressive.

Best Bacon buttie (and using my new cast iron pan)
Ingredients
Good bacon
Soft white baps
butter
Method
fry bacon, until crunchy on the edges but maintaining meatiness in the rasher and a good amount of fat is rendered
remove cooked bacon, place sliced bap face down in bacon fat to pan fry and absorb all the fat, this will leave a nice crispy layer
butter baps, add bacon, eat, take heart mediaction

You're welcome
