    Off the field reasons are no reasons at all.

    This is nonsense. Super 14 franchises, like any other sporting franchise, owns property, employs people, signs contracts. You can't shift these things around willy nilly in November for a competition that starts in February. Preparation for Super 14 2010 has already started now.

    Ah crap! Was it close?

    4 - 4 with a late goal to NZ to make it 5 - 4. Then because they split the games they had a penalty shootout to decide who won the series. NZ goalie Zak Nothling shut out both Aussie shooters, Chris Eaden and Brent Spiers both scored. Great game of ice hockey.

    Sorry to disappoint.

    I get a prize right?

    If the Australians were reeling a little from the Bledisloe, then the Ashes defeat was a nice kick in the sack.

    Anyone watching Sky Sport 3 on Sunday evening would have seen their ice hockey team lose to New Zealand's Ice Blacks for the first time ever a little after 7pm, after 11 consecutive wins.

    And seen my son moving goals around between periods and me jumping up and down yelling directly behind the goal when New Zealand won the penalty shootout to determine the winner of the split two game series.

  • Hard News: Beautiful Images,

    Otherwise, Tarantino since Jackie Brown (sinfully under-rated, IMO) is like being a tone-deaf blind man trying to make sense of Wagner's Ring Cycle.

    Hear hear. Oh how we miss the person who made Reservoir Dogs.

  • Field Theory: This one has rugby in it,

    Yes, that glorious test series victory the Lions won was a thing of wonder. Oh, hang on ...

    Jones' sarcasm is so subtle you can hardly notice it's there.

  • Hard News: Smack to the Future,

    If the PM, having diminished the importance of a vote by saying he wasn't going to change anything, changes anything, I'm going to be pissed off.

    More fool you it seems.

    Be prepared for how small Dali paintings are. Most of the reproductions are blown up.

    So those agencies, columns and Parliament are really aligned with a pretty fucking small slice of our population.

    Obviously the process would be different, but it's a worrying indication of what a more direct democracy with a binding referendum would be like.

    Sometimes I'd prefer human progress to rule over the majority I guess. Feels like these social justice type issues move forward earlier as a result.
