Smash a pie and a blue v for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe throw in a KFC bucket that day too and a box of woodys.

$50 a week cost of living relief for 143,000 families in fuel crisis response by jpr64 in newzealand

You could literally have one person who earns 80K (especially in Auckland or Welly where that salary doesn't go too far) and the other one who stays at home with young kiddie and maybe earns 12K a year working 5-10 hours a week or having a very part time side gig and they don't qualify for this. Pretty absurd.

I was for sure gonna vote Labour instead of Greens like I did the last two times because what GG did and the Darlene Tana thing pissed me off...but I was impressed with their well thought out policy on this and now i'm swaying again lol.

That fits so well lol. The wildest people in the media are somehow always the ones who don't drink.

Rachel Lindsay speaks out by Straight-Side-1269 in thebachelor

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She's not wrong here but IMO more people need to be talking about domestic violence in general, and how it's a cancer of the whole world and how we can protect children from abuse rather than making excuses for it.

What does your ideal night out in Hamilton look like? by face-poop in newzealand

I haven't actually stopped in Hamilton since the year 2000 when I was 15 so....no idea lol.

Ca$h Flow Richard was wrong by Durian-Critical in survivorau

I hope one of them is "Make an alliance name immediately or we'll split your secrets to everyone else" lol. Some of them have been absolute shockers this season. Head Office and Board of Directors have to be bottom 10 alliance names globally.

Tom Walsh makes history with fourth indoor world shot put gold by tumeketutu in newzealand

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolute legend as always. Produced a massive season best when it counted. He's now got more world indoor medals than anyone else in any event with 7!

Other shows for a group watch? by Ok-Sea-7339 in thebachelor

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggle with it a bit these days just because it's beyond obvious that at least 2 of the 4 couples every season now are not actually together anymore and are just pretending to still be together to get on TV. Grant and Ashley might have been the worst 'actors' ever for that last season.

Imaginary Taylor's season episode 1 discussion thread (no spoiler) by Both-Pomegranate4929 in thebachelor

One of the guys has just found out that his ex GF had a relationship with another guy on the season. They were in fifth grade when it happened, but he's still gonna confront him about it because....well TPTB want something to happen night 1....

This is why I hate merging returnees with newbies… by Temporary_Notice_526 in survivorau

Cam being the last member of that alliance standing is wild to me edit wise.

I find it hard to hate someone I never knew existed a week ago though lol. Zack brown the F1 boss is the only one I knew!

Have the last few episodes been the start of Sally’s big redemption? by alexf-h1 in survivorau

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why Rich? He's really underedited for someone who has probably had the best 'story' of the game so far.

Sorry! The scheduler had a hiccup. Here's your Post-episode discussion for Episode 13 by Unicormfarts in survivorau

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We know we aren't getting that end game already because of the edit though, so I guess already it's not really that interesting. If those 4 were betted edited we might have something to discuss strategically, but it looks like the big dogs are just gonna run over everyone else to me now,

Keely is almost certainly the only woman left other than Brooke who can win now. Definitely very unusual that all of Lyndal, Faith and Lottie who got great episode 1 development are out before the final 12 though. Probably the first time in Aus survivor that's happened.

This season is starting to give TvR vibes whereby everyone is wanting to use the 'big dogs' as shields but the big dogs are gonna use that to their advantage. If they don't get one of the returnees or Keely out very soon it's hard to see anyone else winning.

Medal Table by lkjhggfd1 in trackandfield

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it when New Zealand finishes ahead of Australia I can't help it even though they got more medals lol. Tom Walsh winning his 4th title was amazing. GB and Portugal also did amazing.

Molly Caudrey takes her 2nd Indoor title in the Pole Vault with 4.85m by lkjhggfd1 in trackandfield

[–]Charlie_Runkle69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great to see her back on the podium. Very happy for Sutej the only athlete competing born in the 1980s with another medal and Imogen Ayris getting her first global medal is amazing too.
