    Looking forward to the ferns take on this. It’s certainly pretty out there for any bloke from Palmy not to have a mullet I must say.

    Personally I reckon if there’s one sure fire way to make sure people think you’re a complete dickhead it’s to use the word “boomer” in a derogatory and probably incorrect way.

    Mate, who hasn't had a bad haircut? It will grow back

    That is an appalling article. I normally hate to use the word "privilege" but that article is teeming with privilege.

    I dunno, that is pretty inexcusable from the hairdresser. Assuming the story is accurate, he asked for one type of haircut and the hairdresser ignored him and gave him the complete opposite.

    I would be fuming.

    I can’t believe it was actually published, the headline should have been

    “Fat moany privileged prick laments the lack of stodgy food at servo”

    As one whose experience has shown judging a book by its cover saves valuable time, I'm not surprised.

    @ploughboy Without reading the article, am I correct in presuming Paula thinks "lack of confidence" is a female leadership trait? I can only imagine how well that would inspire.

    True, that mug has a ‘I’m gonna gripe about something’ expression all over it

    I was reading an article today about Americas Next Top Model contestants only being paid $49 per day in expenses, that was taken more or less entirely from about three tweets. At the bottom, they had the gall to refer to the article as "great" (yes I realise it's generic, but they could do without that word in there)

    To actually put finger to keyboard to gripe about this speaks volumes about him.

    stuff and news.com.au are basically the same page for either side of the Ta$man

    if i read something on reddit i can almost guarantee there will be an article about it on news 3 days later

    For sure. I remember reading one a while back that was headlined something like "Auckland Cop gives tell all about life on the job" and it was literally just from an "ask me anything" thread in Reddit, with no actual proof that the person answering the questions was actually a current or former police officer.

    I get the whole using multiple sources to get your info, but at least try and verify it before reporting it as gospel.

    @mn5 he's doing a great job of taking over Dawson as biggest douche who played for England.

    I used to think that but I’m changing my point of view. He does come out with some crass stuff and seemingly likes to big himself up but when you catch on that he doesn’t actually take himself seriously, he doesn’t seem quite so bad. Still not sure that I warm to him that much though. I guess we’ll see as I’m due to go and see a performance of “The Good the Bad and the Rugby” in a couple of months or so.
