      "They've felt, in the last couple of years, they've tried to play too much rugby, and they haven't had the balance of playing territory and putting pressure on other teams."

      .

      Uh oh, all I hear from that is welcome to 10 man rugby at the Chiefs. 😉

      But in all seriousness, there have been times in the past couple of years I wished they'd kicked the shit out of the ball ... which was easier when they had Ngatai and Lowe.

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

      As much as I hate on Palmy it did have decent Asian food places and a few decent cafes.

      Yeah, I think it's Colemans Mall - but you could drive the street when I was there last.

      @voodoo Was the French cafe in that little street near the library still there?

      I like me some Whittaker's rum and raisin chocolate.

      I prefer Italian-style gelato and there are some really good options around. Giapo in Auckland, Gelato 2U in Napier and Duck Island in Hamilton to name three.

      Hmm, missed this earlier, you'll love Sydney, this city is stupid for it and new ones are popping up everywhere. I used to eat a lot of Messina, which is probably the most popular here, as a mate of mine worked there so she used to give me freebies. Haven't had one since she stopped working there though.

      Not everything from the bay of Hawke is awesome

      Wash your mouth out with soap. 🙂 Although your comments over solidness suggests you've never actually had Rush Munros.

      I've had plenty. One of the early places out of HB to showcase it in was in Cambridge when we had our restaurant there. They kept trying to supply it to us and kept giving me samples.
      We only used our own recipe though and used to get it made by Kapiti (back before Fonterra brought them out).

      That's not proper Rush Munros ... you have to have it in Hastings at the ice cream gardens.

      @dogmeat At this rate half the Fern will be dead to me. I've never claimed everything was the best in HB, so not going to argue for some Napier based ice cream. I've met Rameka a couple of times but both times he was drunk and a bit of dick with it so consequently I've never eaten at his place.

      Palmy - best Subway for teenage mothers to hang out at on a Thursday.

      Rush Munros in Hastings, you can have some real fish and chips nearby too. 😉

      Mustn't have wanted to venture into Hastings.

      My once a year road trip special is a cone of Rum and Raisin (single cone two scoops). Just always hits the spot on a sunny day.

      Hatiest flavour ever!!!

      I seem to like everyone's haziest flavour stuff. Turkish Delight, Cherry Ripe, R&R

      I no longer feel so bad, clearly your taste is at toilet level. You'd be a good friend to have around Xmas to eat all the Turkish Delights and Cherry Ripes. I've got about 6 of each in the vegetable drawers of my fridge and I'm actually unsure how long they've been there.

      I have never been a big fan of Rush Munros.

      I saw the words Massamum Curry gelato on there so I'm quite happy for Rush Munros to not be involved in that.

      @booboo said in Woo:

      Am I heartless for thinking the Tremain cartoon in the ODT isn't that bad?

      Political cartoons are to make you think, not make you laugh. To my mind this makes you think "how did this happen?". Maybe I'm just a heartless fuck. But my daughter is vaccinated.

      The artist called it a light hearted joke in the article you posted so he may disagree with you here.

      Mangonui Fish Shop was awesome, after being subjected to Aussie feesh for 12 years.

      Funny you say that as I think their fish is cooked Oz style rather than NZ style. Don't get me wrong, it was nice, and the pineapple rings were awesome, but I had to have some local fish and chips in Hastings to scratch that fish and chips itch when back in NZ over winter.
