  • Hard News: Wild is the Weekend,

    But, is there a decent 2nd five in NZ who can kick?

    Only one.

  • Hard News: Wild is the Weekend,

    Here's a question that I've pondered for a long time - why is Sione Lauaki an All Black and Mose Tuiali'i not?

    Ahh, come in Christchurch… (although you have a point.)

    It’s hard to see how they can add any non-Maori to the squad at the moment though. Another muck-up by the NZRU.

    BTW, it shouldn’t have been a penalty try; Tuqiri had it pretty much covered. It should have been a penalty and at least a yellow card through.

  • Hard News: Foreign Affairs,

    The wise cynics amongst us [e.g. LegBreak], amongst us will gladly point out that Obama is full of platitudes, etc.

    I've never pretended to be wise.

    Well, whatever: he is an order of magnitude better than anyone else on offer.

    Couldn't agree more.

    He is an intelligent, articulate and sincere person. We need him. Plain and simple

    So it's here we differ. Given my agreement with your earlier point above, I just think some of the hype around is a bit ... overly optimistic.

  • Hard News: Foreign Affairs,

    Nouvelle Vague do a pretty cool lounge version of Guns of Brixton.

    As for Obama, sorry but I just can’t get past thinking it’s all platitudes. Perhaps it’s the accent that does that to me.

  • Hard News: Te Reo and the Resolution,

    (Handball and synchronised swimming: I am looking at you.)

    Well there we differ (except for the synchronised swimming bit)

    I really like Handball, and for me it’s one of the viewing highlights of the Olympics. What I can’t understand though, is why it’s never taken off in NZ, even if only at a social business-house kind of way.

  • Hard News: Just Some Things,

    Trying to work out the exact age?

    A year younger than John Key; whatever that is.

    Have a good day RB. Enjoy watching men on drugs with your HD.


    BTW, isn’t Mick Fleetwood quite highly rated, despite never being that challenged?

  • Hard News: So far from trivial,

    I'm not quite sure why I was so enraged by this case

    My guess is that it was due to the public statements of regret afterwards that seemed so devoid of any … regret.


    Well that’s the bit that got me anyway.

  • Hard News: This whole, glorious trainwreck,

    I have to admit to contributing to WhaleOil's traffic, just because it's good for a laugh

    OK then, you pricked my curiosity.

    Site seems to be down though? Perhaps The Hairy Armpit get to it.

    Lighten up Mark,

    There may be more important things going on but RB posted this on a Sunday. Surely the end of the world isn’t that imminent that we can’t all have a chuckle on a Sunday??

    BTW, I’m thinking The Hairy Armpit is a fictional creation of a right-wing blogger in order to wind up his mates. It just ticks too many boxes.

    Shep, yes


    Allegedly, that one's been going round for a while.

    But if you're that short, and talk that fast I guess it's inevitable.
