Mark Todd is within a sniff of victory

Hmmm. Your list is a bit rich for my liking. You are lumping "Technical judges" with "beauty judges". The difference? Judging when a shuttle or ball is on the line or not is a technical assessment. Judging if someone is competing illegally is a technical assessment. There are no "beauty" points in those games. If you smash the living shit out of it and it goes out = 0. If in = point. If you "beautifully" hit it out = 0. If in = point. If your javelin has a motor in it = illegal.
But those sports where a "beauty"criteria is the sole (or major) judge: gymnastics, diving - unless bellyflopped :-) - dressage, synchronised swimming, (and Winter Os - free style anything: ice dance, figures, snowboard and skis) they are the ones to rid the place of.
Oh...and Rugby is we listen to Ted and his immediately retracted "thought" of game fixing.

Sunday tonight on TV1 had the interview with Ted. Not only did he lose his TWO seats he lost his carpark as well!!
AND
Hasn't get them back....Come on Auckland Rugby. What else does he need to do???
Does JK get tickets now?

Is the return a contract between the candidate and the Electoral office??? If so, then signing it means he "knows what is in it".
Contracts 101.

When I was a house husband I - and my kids - loved "Jam".
Mrs. Castle is going to work as an atomic scientist, so Mr. Castle will stay home with the three little Castles. He is an exemplary househusband, cleaning, cooking, gardening and meeting the family at the door with a kiss at the end of the day. One day, this paragon runs out of work; while pondering what to do next, he notices ripe plums falling from the tree behind the house and decides to make jam. As the plums keep falling, he fills vases, glasses and even the teapot. Soon jam becomes a staple in the Castle diet; the surplus is used to stop roof leaks and glue down loose bathroom tiles. The family is growing noticeably rounder and is beginning to have nightmares about jam. At last it is gone. As the family celebrates with a game of cricket, they hear a soft thud on the roof. The plums are ripe again.
(Thanks Amazon for the pith)
And Mr Castle always read the paper so as to be well informed!
And the thriller bit: It is signed by MM when she stayed with my M in L. Wonderful!

He coached schoolboys - Auckland Grammer and Kelston Boys First 15s. He then coached at club level - University to the Gallaher Shield. He then coached provincial - Auckland to 4 NPC titles in a row.
Heh. Remember when he left for Wales?? The ARC in their infinite Ron Don wisdom took away his "lifetime" seat at Eden Park. I remember the TV interview where he told the story. He was absolutely gobsmacked they did such a thing.
.........I wonder......did they quietly give one back to him??? I DO hope so.

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Rob Stowell,
Surely there's footage somewhere of JK buying and selling- and making himself a wealthy lad- as a trader.
Ohh...you something like this??? :-)
