Casual NZ yachting ‘fans’ who get excited and over the top when Team NZ does well are the absolute worst.
A bit like athletics, track cycling and rowing, etc at the olympics every four (five) years?
Na I think yachting ones are the worst, I have a few on FB who share some sickening "get on the bandwagon" bullshit whenever Team NZ are racing.

Fair enough. I don't talk to those types.
I shouldn't but it gives me something to get "Grumpy Old Man" about if I ever feel like I'm running out of material.

Pretty sure that we will all be O.K with that (in terms of us all having plenty of material).
True. My latest GOM rant might be about people criticizing people who criticize Foster.

I thought that stuff had hit rock bottom awhile back and when they sold for a $1 I thought they might just take in where they currently were and think about how they might change to win people over again. Well of course the cynical side of me was saying but the person who bought helped drive it to its value of a dollar.
Needless to say they don't disappoint my cynical side and continue with their agendas that I'm sure the head bobbers agree with but just how is the stress for their current owners?

HELLA yeah, man. I've been thinking that for ages, but wasn't peak-Frans-Botha enough to say it.
What's your opinion on Foster?
EDIT: Shit, re-reading this in the morning, sober, @Blackeyeagain 's post actually makes sense. Sorry - on first read, I legit thought this was a robot talking absolute nonsense. -

He may have a point if the wine is shit. Still, there's ways to provide that feedback without being a dick ... and he whiffed.
The wine looks ... interesting. Cloudy, kinda weird. They'll probably be successful, but it doesn't look inspiring to me.

Yes. I won't be rushing out to buy it though.
In a most un-fern like fashion I actually read it. Why is it misogynistic? I can't see anything there that implies a hatred of women (just shit wine).

Yeah I missed that too, I’m sort of torn as the woman is obviously more offended than she should be but then again the wine critic has such a punchable face

Misogyny AND white privilege
ah, she was a twit for going straight to the comment about 'an old white guy'. He may have a sound point if the wine is genuinely not good.
I can't believe I'm posting on this shit on the internet.

I think this is why this thread was created in the first place.
It will be hard to top the woman who complained when her little darling got hot pie filling dripped all over them, all the companies fault of course, no parental responsibility required..

I'm just shocked than you can apparently tell how good it is from a photo, or are you just showing off in front of your internet mates
