He’s far too short. Have you seen him in The Hobbit?
Needs a fucken haircut too. Bond is always immaculately groomed. It’s a hard no from me til that happens.
Well of course, duh

Looks a bit swarthy and foreign
Unlike the Malaysian and two black fellas in the running
@canefan when Mrs TR had surgery a couple of months back, she had to do a RAT for the 4 days prior to it, including the morning of surgery, and they also tested her at the hospital prior to the surgery.
I still wear a mask in shops, oddly, as much now out of habit than anything as I have one in my jacket pocket, I expect over summer when I dont need a jacket I'll stop that habit.
It's on twitter I know, but it deserves to be in this thread
"Each block was made of birch wood from the southern islands of Korea and treated to prevent the decay of the wood. The blocks were soaked in sea water for three years, then cut and then boiled in salt water."
Try that with your fancy modern servers...
Did, during the last Brisbane floods. Birch wood appears to be good for DR even if it takes up a bit of space.
Fantastic scripting, acting, direction, filming etc. Interesting characters. I am enjoying it but in all of its search for authenticity every now and then it does something really jarring on the food front.

an example would be the pastry chef dude, after all of his dedication and study toward making a perfect donut gets a 'revelation' to use a yeasted dough rather than a cake one. WTF? Donuts are a yeasted dough. That's your start point.
I've never worked in a US kitchen or for a US chef but I think the obsession levels and toxic environments are actually realistic over there. The kitchen talk and constant 'yes chef' stuff is well overdone from my experience but I do understand that's how they have taken something and become over-serious with it.
I will disagree with the notion the he worked like that at Noma though. Noma is well known as a very quiet zen like kitchen and not a place of high stress
Cracks me up that you considered that worthy of a spoiler hidey-thingee 😁. Kudos for your concern for us!
Great fucking series, huge Shameless fan of Lip, but reallt loved the girl in this.
couldn't help think I was watching Lip for a couple of episodes.. great series this one though
Me too, thought they should have set it in a different city than Chicago to help remove some of that similarity.
Tim Perry.. of all the players who had multiple starts for the Blues he was the worst. Second place is miles behind him. Think of all the crap players that played for the Blues over the decades Tim Perry was number one. Well done.
Managed to win three super rugby titles though!
Didn't really watch him at the blues but he was decent for the crusaders and ultimately managed to push crockett out of starting his last final.
Not to mention a fairytale end to his career winning the M10 Cup with the Mako in his final match.
I can still remember this as if it was yesterday. Hard to believe it was fifty years ago. Truly one of NZs most remarkable sporting victories consider they drug cheating and amateur ethos rule breaking of a lot of their opposition.
That's a good point, but assuming Smith steps down next year, we'll need 2-3 halfbacks with Test experience. Weber will be 32 and Fakatava is currently the next cab off the rank after Christie.
XV is not test experience but its good enough. It's certainly a step above SR. I'd be much better, along with RTS, ALB (back from injury), perofeta, etc etc playing lots of minutes for XV, than virtually none for ABs. IMO the XV should be all the 3rd stringers, starting every game
In normal times I'd agree 100% but we're only a few Tests away from RWC2023. I'm a bit concerned by lack of experienced cover at 9 if AS or Christie get injured
But he'd get much more minutes for the XV, unless you're suggesting we rest Smith a lot for the NH tour?
Think he'll go as 3rd 9 as he's more the future. Cupboard looks bare if Nugget or Christie get injured. Wouldn't be surprised to see Christie start against Japan and Fakatava on the bench for that game and poss. Scotland or Wales. Nugget hasn't had a break all season has he?
Then again they might take Weber and give Faka to the XV...
If they go down injured just before or during the RWC that’s when you do an SOS call to TJ Perenara or Weber.
@Dan54 I'd still have Rennie or Joseph over Foster. Any time.
I don't have a problem with that NZZP, as I said I liked Joseph, and would have him over Rennie. I think he has made a bit of difference to Japan, actually got them to QF in WC. Rennie I don't dislike by any means, but can't actually see a lot (if any) to Wallabies since he took over, so reserve judgement. But regardless neither were available.
I not for or against Foster either, I wasn't part of board that interviewed him etc, so don't know what or wasn't said to get him appointed.
On Schmidt joining AB selection panel, and where it will take him, I have just finished Steve Hansen's book, he's pretty good mates with Schmidt. He talks of mentions how much trouble Schmidt was having with the pressure while coaching Ireland (had read that before) and though he was NZR's preferred choice to take AB's job he needed a break away. Hope he just takes it easy coming into whatever roles he does and builds from there.
@nzzp Looks good. We ended our day at Smoke N Cole in Grey Lynn with a nice platter of meats and an array of sides. The brisket and short ribs were awesome, as were the sausages and pork ribs. CF Jr had chicken wings for dessert!!
@MiketheSnow Looks like a scam journal, it isn't indexed anywhere. Besides, vaccine reviews would not be published in a journal of "insulin resistance".
Three in three days. These poor young women. Praying for all of them.
“A third jockey has been taken to hospital in the space of three days, with Juana Andreou suffering a serious head injury in an accident at Flemington on Monday.
Andreou, who last rode at Kyneton on May 9, was clipping a horse when it lashed out and kicked her in the head.
Late on Tuesday Racing Victoria issued a statement on twitter reporting the young jockey remained in an induced coma with support being afforded to her husband, family and stable staff.
Victorian Jockeys Association CEO Matt Hyland said Andreou is in a critical condition.”

“He must stop his career in France for cardiological reasons. A cardiac anomaly had been detected before the 2019 World Cup in Japan. This anomaly, which is not linked to rugby, has been monitored but it is an evolving pathology. The risk has become too great.”
@canefan i'm trying to really play up the small mercies, gradman has no idea...so wont be upset...and if COVID accelerates her passing it might be a blessing
also...might actually get a cure out of her and nothing has killed her yet!
It's not for her, it's for your mum. But you are right about the older generation. Clearly at 95 she is a tough old bird
Worcester Warriors owners have apportioned blame on the playing squad and on their supporters in a statement branded 'despicably shameless'.
Doesn't seem to be very diplomatic does it? Though to be fair I not sure what they asset stripped etc, haven't followed it enough.
They sold the club carpark and other field for fuck all to businesses they own recently. Cos 'the club needed the money' but that is asset stripping. I would imagine they will be sequestered back when the club is wound up, as it is within 6 months
Chest and back tonight. Kept it pretty light on bench and man I am feeling it now. Did a bunch of back and chest work plus some arms and a bit of overhead pressing. Tried out a new seated row attachment and a different one for wide grip lat pulldowns. After a quick google it turns out they are made by Komodo. Pretty cool and quite a different set up to the traditional barbell.
The lower ones were the seated row attachment. You can flip it over and almost do a bicep curl type row, or the more usual grip set up.
@majorrage has there been a problem with GPS or did they reach an agreement with the EU over the satelites?
Regards discrimination, most of my foreign pals are outside London (and some are far north England) so that may be a factor.
Talk on that has gone quiet since the deal was signed, so I suspect this was included in that.
No doubt location is a factor, but I should point out, I'm not in London.
And if you are league supporter, just be sure to remember that whatever sanction a judiciary spits out there is a premium on top of that for any Warriors
Using the WE CAN'T PUNISH FANS AT FINALS TIME clause, because... well..... 😉
Calling a Steinlager a Pilsner is up there with calling a Tui a pale ale
In reality though Pilsner just means lager. Then there are styles. Steinlager is akin to a “European style pilsner” as I think it was modelled on Heineken.
@Crucial sorry but not quite...
A famous quote in brewing "A pilsner is a lager, but not all lagers are pilsners."
There are some differences but those differences are quite subtle.
One of the coolest things in modern brewing is that New Zealand Pilsners have become a recognized style and are loved world wide, particularly in the US. Taking a traditional brewing style and using the unique hops found in Aotearoa, NZ Pilsners have become very popular.
"New Zealand Pilsners are a kiwi twist on a traditional Pilsner where the traditional herbal, spicy hops are replaced with tropical fruity NZ hops"
as in..there are amber and dark lagers (and pilsners are only pale lagers)? Asked from a position of currently sober ignorance.
It is not clear to me where I should place the link I wish to provide, or where to place any text I wish to add to it.
PS. Now I must apologise, this news was previously noted up the page - I did not check beyond the latest 17 hour old entry, believing the news that I saw was reported just this morning.
