  • Hard News: A few days away,

    I am refusing to watch the Berlin games of our times

    So there were tanks at the opening ceremony?? Damn; if I’d known that, I’d have stayed up to watch.

    With Montgommery, you get the feeling it’s all about him. Interesting that he’s turned his back on covering the sailing for the first time. Perhaps the prospect of all that algae bloom turned him off.

    Or perhaps it’s the likelihood of being able to provide an over-dramatic voiceover for a few NZ golds at the rowing was too tempting for him to turn down.

    And what’s with Peter Williams using reference books on his desk? That’s right; reference books.

    Hasn’t he heard of the interweb?

    If you think China is going to be rocky for internal crime/terrorism. The Soccer world cup in South Africa has the real possibility to be a nightmare.

    Well said.

    Touch wood, but it’s worth noting that the only 2 Olympics to be hit by terrorism were in held Munich and Atlanta.

    They should get the psychics over to China

    A genuine sports psychic could become a millionaire in about a week on the TAB.

    Harder than rocket science...

    Off on a tangent but the term “rocket scientist” to indicate enormous intellect really annoys me.

    I’m sure the first people to design a rocket were really smart, but surely now that has been done, it is all just a matter of tweaking the design to improve performance etc.. A bit like building a car in 2008. You’re just using a pre-existing design.



    As you were…

  • Hard News: Food Show 08,

    IS,

    I know how you feel.

    We were hacked 3 weeks ago, but removed the offending scripts in less than 24 hours.

    During that time, Google noticed and put a Big Fat Warning that comes up when anyone uses to Google to visit the site, or by anyone accessing the site with spyware turned on their PC.

    We immediately asked them to reassess, and the automated reply said in 2-3 weeks.

    2 days to go and counting Google…

  • Hard News: Not actually satire,

    Is there anyone on here who, in a strange and small way, will actually miss Winston once he’s gone in a few months time?

    Oh well, at least there will be the 12 month Electoral Petition to look forward to.

  • Hard News: Wild is the Weekend,

    Not sure that Henry would fall on his sword, even if we lose to Samoa “B” at the start of September.

    As for a possible replacement, what about Deans? Sports contracts aren’t worth anything these days

    Mealamu rightly copped a bit of flak for the Brook loss.

    PW, Cowan went well until he broke.

    Lauaki had a bad game, he's had good games before

    Not many.

    But it’s not a Pacific Island thing, it’s a Waikato thing.

    They’ve produced so many loose forwards who are unable to make the step up. A recent former All Black coach being an example that springs to mind.

    You don't remember Maradona for the marvellous headers, do you?

    I do; except it wasn’t his head that touched the ball...

    I do find it odd that Mains is running around barking that a #12 must be able to kick, given that he picked Eroni Clarke there.
