only took me about a year of using it due to male stubbornness to not look it up)
I've done 3 years at least. Trying for 4. I wouldn't be grumpy if you told me the trick though. Certainly not looking it up.
I actually use a universal remote so will have to dig out the Apple one if I am going to lose face over this.
As for savings, I think that you guys have a different situation in Aus. I still have Sky for the rugby, for reasons already mentioned, but now have to pay extra to get the cricket, F1, etc.
Ten years today. Wow. Horrible loss of life, a vastly changed city scape and so many different individual stories of the day. Feel free to share yours.
I was early for a haircut at Settlers Crescent in Ferrymead so was parked up on the side of the road, looking at my phone (maybe work emails but just as likely I was on Facebook). It suddenly started shaking violently. A side to side motion mostly from memory. I could see street lamps swaying. This lasted for a while but I don't think it seemed all that long whereas others recall it seeming to last for ages. Cracks opened up in asphalt footpaths and driveways but I think the road at that stage was ok. I pulled up into the driveway of my hairdresser where they'd all come outside. Ladies had foils and colour in their hair. There were lots of tears.
I think Pocock and Hooper showed you cant just put two great players out and expect it to work. I feel for Ardie because clearly, he is good enough but Akira, Sotutu and Cane is simply better balanced. And Ardie would benefit the team more coming on with 30 to go with those three starting IMO.
The bench should be used and thought of in a strategic way, there is nothing wrong IMO of having a different type of player who is simply better suited to tired defences, and I think Ardie is that type. BB was electric off the bench early in his career and was a great weapon for us. Not sure we have that right balance with the bench just yet.
Not to go too off topic but I think RM is that type of player as well. Thrives when the defenses are tired and the game is opening up a bit, but is a possum in the headlights against an aggressive team in the first 40 - 60 minutes. Injecting him and Ardie fresh with 20 to go would be a bit of a nightmare for teams to defend against. I agree with you completely we are not utilising our bench as a weapon the way we used to.
@shark And yet we still missed the playoffs that year. I remember the Stormers putting 50 on us at Eden Park that year. We really did underachieve that year and should have pushed for another title with the side we had.
