@Canes4life said in Stormers v Crusaders:
So apparently those that have accused the players of abuse are in the process of sourcing CC TV footage from the McDonalds where these events eventuated. They are adamant that the Crusader players are lying and are going to do anything to prove that.
I guess all will be revealed when that footage comes out.
My worry is that they're going to get Marius Jonker to make a ruling on the footage.

Ah fuck this fluffybunny. Just like Sevu. I just wish our All Blacks wouldn't assault people. Fucking disgraceful. I'm fine with rehabilitation for people who do these things but people like this shouldn't be public figures and representing our nation.
have to say, when i was at uni in dunners most people that used their diversions did so for things like taking a piss somewhere a little too public or in one case nicking all the pool balls from a pub, maybe pinching a road sign...not so much fighting let alone hitting a woman
Flatmate of mine got diversion, but the summary of facts was a great read. He was arrested in town after an Otago v Canterbury rugby game for offensive behaviour or similar for pulling a brown eye in the street. The SoF went something like: "Mr (Smudge's flatmate) then proceeded to drop his trousers and bend over, part his cheeks and say "kiss this, Canterbury".
My spies tell me "lawyers" & "Mark Reason" have been mentioned in the same sentence in the Stuff offices in regards to this article.
I generally try to post with (attempted) humour or insight but...
Fuck off, Foster, you hopeless piece of shit.

You could float a warship on the amount of wanking off over Ardern. It's all a bit revolting on Stuff. Anyone would think she is the lovechild of Clark and Savage with the wit of Lange in his prime.
English needs to be a bit careful. I think we've seen more than a few major votes around the world this year that have been decided on perception and emotion, not fact or logic.
I think I've come up with a word to describe the fatigue one suffers from reading too many columns on Ardern:
Jaundicinda.
2016 was a tough old year for me, tossing away a comfortable life in Dunedin because I was constantly reminded of an ex-girlfriend everywhere I went in Dunners. So, for someone who planned to the nth degree, it was a bold move to up sticks and leave with no plan.
After a couple of months of drifting aimlessly (albeit with accommodation support from parents and some contract work I can do anywhere), I've ended up with full-time work in a completely different (and interesting) industry. What's more, it's Monday to Friday and (generally) 8-5pm...
So 2017 has delivered more than I might have expected this time last year. And I'm currently having a single malt out of Dad's cupboard so no complaints here.
Meanwhile, I'm figuring out what to actually do with a summer holiday...
To the rest of you, enjoy the time with whoever you're spending it with.

@Tregaskis said in All Blacks v Wallabies at Eden Park.:
@hydro11 There is possibly a recent precedent. Two years ago Cruden transgressed and missed the Arg / SA tour plus the Bledisloe III game in Brisneyland (Barrett started, and Slade came on and kicked the matchwinner). I don't recall Cruden being injured (there was talk he would play for Manawatu during his "suspension" but I don't think it happened) and I believe his next game was the second EOYT game vs England (Carter started the first game in Chicago).
I have no idea what Cruden did but he served about a month for his misdemeanour. Perhaps Aaron Smith will serve the same.
Cruden was late for a flight which is a bit more serious IMO.
Although it seems arriving early to an airport isn't necessarily a good thing either - too much time on Aaron's hands . . .

But she will anyway.
Does anyone know if I'm able to book a voucher in an MIQ facility during the Christmas/New Year period, not before?
I'm not travelling from overseas or anything like that - I just don't want to spend Christmas with my family.

holy shit could you imagine if their little fucking shenanigans had resulted in Vic racing being shut down on the brink of the carnival?
When do you reckon it would have been safe for them to re-emerge in to Australian society? 2024? 2025?
Yeah, yeah. And Brian O’Driscoll Could. Have. Died. I’ve heard it all before.
How about you actually come up with a tangible response? Up in North America, you're clearly not aware of the nuances that have allowed racing to continue at the highest alert levels in Australia. Your responses in this thread over the last few days have been laughable, never mind your utterly awful comparison of Jamie Kah getting on the piss (and god knows what else) during Covid times to the situation of Anne Fucking Frank.
@kid-chocolate said in Norm MacDonald RIP:
Norm’s last tweet.
Other than the 160-odd tweets he made after that. This was his final one.
Update to this: when I left a job a couple of years ago, one of my mates there gave some parting remarks at my farewell drinks, basically grabbing parts of Norm's bits from that Holocaust denier video to question my stance on the Holocaust. Let's just say those who hadn't seen the clip were left somewhat bemused...
@kirwan said in Norm MacDonald RIP:
Worthy of his own thread, was a legend. Videos incoming...
12 minutes of him accusing his Jewish sidekick of being a Holocaust denier.

I just clicked on the link and his shit eating zoolander pout in the photo while horse racing is the most punchable thing I’ve seen in as long as I can remember.
He's not "horse racing".

@smudge all good. Misinformation is a thing, but also so is the government dissembling. Not finding the current state of affairs great for my zen.
Might be time for a politics break again.
Here we go.

Good on her. Don’t let bastards keep you down.
Jamie Kah claims historic Scobie Breasley Medal
Ousted Kah vows: ‘I'm not done yet'
Don't let the bastards keep her down? This is entirely on her and her fellow party goers. Racing had done a brilliant job of upholding its social licence to keep racing through lockdown in Australia by applying stringent protocols and not giving the public a reason to cry foul about racing participants abusing their privilege.
Much like the league players who had a piss up at one guy's house, this type of indulgence while so many Aussies can't go more than 5km from their house for more than an hour or two a day and have had their income tested by this pandemic, risks breaching that social licence.
She's a brilliant talent, but she's not above the law. I'm glad she's taking the right attitude to returning after her suspension though.
Same crowd that would have turned in Anne Frank and demanded Rosa Parks sit at the back of the bus. “It’s the law.”
Fuck me days. Welcome to False Equivalence 101.
