^^^^^^^^^^ this was Christchurch before the quakes:

Auckland looks like this:

The prosecution rests, M'lords

In the words on an ex-Cantabrian who had seen the errors of his ways, and chose to join the 21st century: "Christchurch isn't a proper city. It's just Timaru on steroids".

^^^^^^ "Timaru on Steroids [supplied by HeadHunters MC]"

Timaru may have Caroline Bay but I'll take Akaroa any day.

RWC was rated a high risk security threat from ISIS etc given host nations like England, USA, Australia participating.

Yeah but the level of risk plummeted after the first 4 weeks....

The upshot of all this appears to be that the all blacks players will still be doing street Parades pissed when everyone else is playing round 1 of super rugby!

So now I'm just left wondering which is said to resemble Florence.
Florence looks like this and has done for about 500 years:

As for crash tackling pitch invaders: fuck yes. Never know what they're carrying or what damage they'll do. Extreme prejudice sorts most things out straight away, kid or no.

No issue with that, but I'd personally prefer it if the mascots handled all the riff raff.

"Timaru on steroids"

"By hokey Timaru, whatever will she do now, the money or the bag? A 3.50 gift certificate at Levene's or some silly little plastic curling things for the hair that you can buy for $2 in the future at The $2 Shop?"

White Christmas Parade in November

--Christchurch Gazette.

Today's "White Christmas Parade" in Christchurch, New Zealand was well received by elderly Christchurch residents.

"I thought it was lovely that the young people got together and organized a White Christmas parade. And this far out from Christmas too. And in broad daylight" said 92-year old pensioner Ethyl Bypassed.

87-year old retired soup stock salesman Mr Jock Stanchion said "Come to think of it, I am very proud of white christmases too. All that peaceful white snow. So relaxing. And it's great that these young blokes even printed up their own t-shirts for such an occasion." Local parishioner Reverend Tanigakabau was unavailable for comment.

White Christmas Parade in November

.....da fuck? Is that a real problem in New Zealand? I thought that was more of an American South and Central/Eastern Europe thing (and parts of England).

Just Christchurch.

I would LOVE for them to schedule a march in Auckland.......

I wouldn't call it a problem, to the extent that their marches tend to attract maybe 50 skinheads & other assorted no hopers.

I would LOVE for them to schedule a march in Auckland...

Yeah, they could all meet up at the Onehunga town clock............

Well that was ugly. I like how that one sociologist points out the close connection to English traditions in the town, and then shifts to the extremism -- because nazis are as English as marmelade and tea. They say they're offering safety when times got tough, but it seems like the movement's more parasitic, preying on the weak and afraid in moments and places of crisis. That's how it tends to work here in the States.

But in any case, it's not rugby.

I make it a point to stay away from all SBW stories. Let's face it. He's a media slut. He just can't help himself. The camera loves him and he loves it right back.

All that palava for or a bench guy though? Doesnt happen to other bench guys. Ben Franks. Beauden Barrett. BB scores clinching try in RWC and slips back into team environ. I dont know a fucking thing about him. His religion, hit newest tatts, his latest celeb chanteuse girlfriend, his plans for Lent. Thank fuck for that.

I am about as anti-royal as they come but even I reckon greeting Chuck with a fistbump, staunch shades and a backwards baseball cap is fairly feeble. Poor old Chuck, look at him, he doesnt even know quite where he's supposed to be looking. Holy crap, if even I'm extremely vaguely piqued, the royalist nanas in Coro St whitebread NZ must've been coughing up their dunked gingerbreads all over their fuckin spatula-brained dentures

You have taught me well, Master Dismal

 

[Dismal Pillock]

hehe, you ever run your log-in name thru google images?

W.O, this is the very first hit that comes up for your name:

"BOOMFAAA!", as J.Marshill might say.

The first pic for "Gagger" was not flash. The second was even worse. Well, depending on your sexual orientation I suppose. Not my place to judge.

First pic for my name?:

Well, he lived in Athlone, Ireland for a while as a kid, and played some Gaelic football while he was there. Now every time he chases down a loose ball, chips it ahead and recovers it, Irish fans around the world tip a glass in his direction and declare it must be the GAA influence. He's just soloing in a sprint.

So there's that.
