May have told this story before but my mate couldn't make the game due to a new girl he was seeing. He stayed the night (happy days) and was about to up and leg it over to our place. When he said he was going to see the boys she told him it was her birthday and being a GC he couldn't ditch her.

She offered to cook kai and said they could watch it together. So he settled in to watch it in bed, while she cooked them up a feed and they had some quality time.

Fast forward to the end of the match. He was nearly in tears sitting at the end of the bed. She didn't get it at all, and obviously missed all the signals of emotional trauma, and asked him 'Well the games over now, what are we doing today?". I don't think he lost his shit but he did say something like "I've got to go sorry'.

Never saw her again.

What a bummer, not often you find a girl that will let you watch a game she isn't interested in, on her birthday, after some boom boom fun time AND cooks you breakfast.

Ha!! Murphy is a fucker!

This is the sort of news the media should be all over, not Hillary figgin whats her name.<br><br>
By world standards NZ has a proud record of low levels of corruption and singling out this type of shit helps keep it that way.<br><br>
Every basket case country and many more besides suffer greatly because politicians and governments get away with corruption. IMO it's one of the worst traits to creep into a society, and if not identified and acted upon it can easily become the norm.<br><br>
These people involved in this should and must be taken to task.

<p>I watched some of it, got fucked off at the narrative and switched channels. Little wonder the police refused to take any part in that. What a joke. Showing pictures of the P-addict in his younger years and saying he was such a "loving man". Yeah, right...</p>

That's hilarious.<br><br>

To continually ask health professionals to please grant you permission to end it all. I found the reponses at the bottom of the article to be extremely callous in relation to the girl in the situation

<p>It's a bit of a hassle to change banks, especially with the way that mortgages are structured, where loans are split into various fixed terms so it makes it costly to break some of them. </p>

If they were going to work then you might be tempted to cut them some slack but this was nothing more than them trying to simulate dreams of TDF glory that will never be a reality. I can't for the life of me understand why these guys would even want to ride there. A fall is pretty much certain death.<br><br>
Was listening to the radio about this last night and the presenters tried their best to be sympathetic to cyclists but caller after caller absolutely destroyed their arguments.

<p>I went to the USA when I was in my teens and ate at Jack in the Box.  I remember sourdough sandwiches/burgers which were very good.  The king of mainstream burger joints is definitely In n Out burger though</p>
