@MN5 me either, but been many years since I went to a B & Q, that IIRC is same as Bunnings?
Ah right. Matte White.
Well, that took the gloss off that tweet. You could’ve just satin silence.
That joke is as dead as a Norwegian Blue.
Just as long as you’re not calling from Birminghamshire in Middle Earth I suppose.
A mummy covered in chocolate and nuts has been discovered in Egypt.
Archaeologists believe it to be the Pharaoh Roche.
@Dodge said in The Masters!:
well that was a great way to spend a Sunday evening, Rory was equal parts master and muppet but got it done in the end with a flawless first play off hole. The reaction as the putt dropped and then the walk to the club house will live long in my memory, the sheer disbelief and joy on his face after he saw his family was incredible to see.
The wife was away so I did a 13 hour stint in front of the tv, firstly watching the biggest one day race in cycling (Paris Roubaix), with a box of Leffe, then the Masters. Great times!
That’s a sign not to be poo pooed at

Fuck. Unlucky Landers.
Nothing unlucky. Just the usual dumb decisions that have plagued us over the last 4-5 years
Dude. We played well. Was a hard fiest round game. That is a quality Tahs side and we fought well.
I get that and if it was fresh set of players and they were genuinely trying to implement a new game plan, I’d cop it. But it’s the same mistakes, by the same players, at the same moments. Its been an Otago issues, it’s been a Highlanders issue. I just don’t see that change in mindset or composure so the same mistakes will keep on happening
Nah. That's bullshit. This is a Highlanders side and, apart from blue and gold has very little to do with Otago.
When Otago played we lacked ideas and game plan. We lost to teams we had lesser players than us.
This was a team that everyone said during the week should have been well beaten. Has one current international. The opposition, has heaps. We should have won. We didn't. We went to their house and nearly snuck away with the china.
We had a game plan. It was scrapy, but we stuck to it and it nearly came off. Yeah we made mistakes. It happens. But, there is a lot to build one. I'm looking forward to knocking over the Blues next week.
Well the proof will be in the pudding when they play the Kiwi sides. I don’t see this ending well
Wrong thread but (sigh), ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’
You’ll no doubt train smarter this time, remembering all those little mistakes you made first time around both with training and the race. That previous experience will be invaluable. Good luck!

Awesome fight to end the year. 116-112 on all 3 cards? I personally thought it was slightly closer.
Closer yes, but Fury didn’t win despite what Frank Warren says.
Agreed

Depends what you want it for. You could just get a bike and hook it up to a turbo trainer (wind trainer in NZ?). Failing that, I use a Wattbike almost daily for training during the week, mainly because I can configure it to my road bike geometry. Wattbike Atom is a cheaper equally good version and takes up less space. Not cheap though.
Saw Gladiator II on IMAX last night; thought it was on par with the first one. Ties in with what happened 20 years previous and some good performances from the leads esp Denzel Washington and the 2 young guys who play the fucked up Emporers. I’d give it a maximus of 3.5 stars, with maybe an extra half for viewing on IMAX.
Oh and Connie Nelson is in decent shape for 59.
Fuck Smith is good. Imagine him in a black jersey.
Shame because in his last prefight interview on BBC Sport, he still had that calm, quiet, fucking menacing demeanour which meant I genuinely feared for Paul.
