    @mn5 the fact this chick has become a social media personality and making money from it shows everything that is wrong with todays society.

    Hate to admit, but I happened to catch the Dr Phil episode she debuted her 'cash me outside' comment on, what a fucking drop kick of a human being she is...

    You also best make a note of that place in Bali, can only imagine how stoked you'd be if you picked up a bargain holiday in Bali only to find it was his business!

    I'd trash the joint and throw him down the stairs

    Why donโ€™t you help him pack ? Specifically make sure he takes his boogie board to Bali with him . That went well for Schappelle Corby.

    sure you would, Bali prisons dont seem like they'd be too much fun!

    I'd rather stay at one of them than a place owned by Tony Veich.

    @mn5 while get your sentiment, I think at least if you inadvertantly stayed at your mates place you could choose to leave, whereas a Bali prison I dont think you get to leave when you want ๐Ÿ˜‰

    He owns a piece of a damn fine horse. That will make him a bob or two as I think it is an entire

    Not unless Avantage has had a sex change since she raced at Hastings last month.

    It's funny as I was at home last night and suddenly remembered he was a she. I don't know which Te Akau horse I was getting mixed up with.

    Still a very tidy horse but

    She likely doesn't have the money.

    Unlike those fuckers (e.g. Kelvin Hale) who have all their assets in a trust or in the name of a family member, and plead poverty.

    The way she was talking about her plans to build affordable houses was pretty grandiose and light on detail. She was travelling around the country wining and dining potential investors with other peopleโ€™s money . I wonder how far away she is from a fraud charge?

    Well you are the go to man for these types of things.

    It vexes true-love quite a bit when I refer to our horses as a he or she in error. (Usually the foals when I don't know them from each other)

    Concerned about Hoeflich's handling of the Ford and suspecting she was intoxicated, one neighbour called the police.

    Hoeflich said she was "freaked out" by the incident and suffered a panic attack. She said she went inside and downed several shots of vodka to steady her nerves.

    Two constables arrived 15 minutes later and walked through Hoeflich's open front door to find the driver of the damaged Ford. They then escorted Hoeflich to Avondale police station for a breath test, which she failed.

    Tui Billboard for my mind

    Oh get fucked, the spinoff was as funny as finding gas gangrene on your genitalia

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/107627305/farwell-the-spinoff-tv-you-enraged-the-critics-for-that-i-will-miss-you

    Stuff comments delivers some rare gold

    "Never saw it, but if it was anything like the Spinoff website, then I am guessing it was a load of condescending left wing rubbish, where a bunch of self-congratulatory AUT communications grads sit around and bemoan that they can't afford homes in central Auckland or decide societal norms are actually 'rape culture'. Good riddance. If I were PM, public funding of TV would be gone by lunchtime"

    Also the fuckwits who ran it would never give a job to a man who did prison time for beating his wife but they had no problem hiring this violent she whale.

    @Bones I love the way Vegans over exaggerate how "delicious" their food is despite it being obviously disgusting.

    @no-quarter I didn't read the whole article, but the first review in it made all this mention about how it looks and the texture....and nothing about the taste.

    Except the word "delicious".
    But yeah - I hesitate to admit it, but I actually tried some "vegan duck" at a festival earlier this year - mainly because the queues for everything else were fucking atrocious, and it was in a burrito-sized sushi roll, which just looked like the perfect thing considering the heat/hangover.
    The taste, texture, look - were all "realistic". But... there really was something missing, which I could only put down to the lack of subconscious satisfaction that only comes from knowing that something died for my culinary enjoyment.

    Ha... I actually read the entire thing (slow work day), and the reporter eventually summed it up pretty well...

    • After watching nearly a dozen vegans devour the dish, I decided to try it. < ... > I wanted to love it, but after years of eating succulent cod fillets my palate could not quite adjust to the thin and rubbery texture of the blossom flower. (The whole experience made me crave fish, and for dinner I had a meaty chunk of North Atlantic haddock.)

    Vegans can actually make some decent food - as long as it's not trying to fake meat/dairy stuff.

    And obviously you have to have a side of meat with it.

    This. Vegetables can be tasty and interesting in themselves. If you want to be a vegetabilist just eat the bloody vegetables. If meat is so horrific why try and replicate it?

    Due to a complete balls up (Mrs Cato and the two Ms Catos being even later than usual) I found that the only option for a late lunch in a sleepy Devon town yesterday, was a vegan cafe (and believe me I looked bloody hard for an alternative). I had the Lebanese chick pea and lentil soup and it was very nice. Tofu, vegetarian sausages et al though you can stick up your arse.

    I did have to have a large bowl of chilli con carne for dinner though.
