@DaGrubster Bang on mate, very much a one sided moan. And he lost me with the moan at ref anyway!

He should get tested if these "memories" are an indicator of his brain's health.
He also complains about the standard of his hotel in Dunedin.
It's fucking Dunedin. I've never seen a "Paris London New York Dunedin" tagline. -
@antipodean 5 hours, shit, what were the 4 x 4's?

@Kruse Plus team bonding in QT cost them a series they should have won.
Cry me a river. The lions won the second test because the ref applied the law despite it defying common sense.
they drew the 3rd Test because the ref refused to apply the law. Despite it defying common sense.
Normally I take all these stories from a player's biography in my stride. It's just the publicity machine grinding into gear to generate sales. But Sexton really is a whiney bitch and genuinely seems to believe the long jeremiad his book (and life) seems to be.

I thought Edinburgh used to be called Dunedin?
I know Dunedin was often referred to as Edinburgh of the South...
Because it is the Gaelic name of Edinburgh.
Ironically Edinburgh was often called the Athens of the North.
So you could argue Dunedin is the Athens of the South.
Probably not recommended to argue this in a Greek bar. -

Dunedin (NZ) or Edinburgh?
I loved Edinburgh and can heartily recommend visiting during the Fringe Festival
One of the best 2-week holidays I’ve ever had

@MiketheSnow yeah it's a good spot. Neat experience I had, running some software training in the council chambers only to be interrupted by a band playing in the square directly outside. Halted training... to watch the NZ army band do their stuff. Cracking performance.

Decades since I was in Dunners but it was a bit of dump then. Probably improved.
Edinburgh has never really impressed me in my visits there. Always come across as a bit dirty and crumbling and trading on reputation, though some of the newer business areas like Sth Gyle were OK. Not in the same league as Cardiff IMHO..
