Last few weeks have been a bit fucked. Covered some km walking but not much running due to lurgee.

Anyway jumped on the scales for a laugh and was 96.9kg which is alright.

I guess from this point I'll just be smart about the lifestyle, go back and see the doc, and see where the next step takes me on the cholesterol/heart thing

@mariner4life said in Italy v Australia:

They just desperately need a win don't they? Which they'll get, because Italy are shit.

Never underestimate our ability to play at the opponent's level, when that opponent is shit.

@booboo said in Italy v Australia:

Stop for a second and imagine the consequence of a Wallaby loss.

Already contemplated weeks ago.

In any case: Foley at 12 is a head scratcher.

@mariner4life said in Womens RWC 2021 -NZ to host:

I almost miss the days when you guys had a bit of backbone.

Almost.

Agent Robbie is probably the greatest saboteur the world has ever known.

Agent Raelene is carrying on the legacy brilliantly.

Might be a reason to get back to NZ in 2021.

@rapido said in Womens RWC 2021 -NZ to host:

Other thing to bear in mind, from a big picture perspective, that hosting IRB tournaments , (JWCs, 7s world series, women's world cups, 7s world cups), is a pre-requisite to bidding for the big one.

And being a Tier One Rugby Nation, which Australia isn't.

Kurt Fearnley is a guy I have a lot of time for. He's been a mainstay in wheelchair distance events for Australia for decades, and comes from a little town in central NSW so is country kid made good.

The tweet says it all: take 5 minutes to listen to a guy with not only a great perspective on life, but also genuine humility.

@crucial said in Wales v Australia:

It's crazy that players can stand beside rucks and scrums with a finger touch and be considered bound. Make them bind or call them offside

And there was supposed to be a crack down on it, particularly for blockers on box kicks.

Fucking whatever.

Watched it while sitting in a theatre, waiting for a science talk to start.

@siam I agree with you about what that officer should be proud of. He did his job in a tough situation.

People react differently to ending life, human or otherwise. Whatever sort of support he needs, he'll get it - that may mean convincing the shrinks that he's not going through anything at all. That can be the toughest part - some people are just wired that way and will move past it quickly.

@booboo @Rembrandt I assume Australian Liberty Alliance?
