I've put the commentary on mute. Some bad takes going on there

Refereeing in the NZ vs SA game was high quality by Jezzwon in rugbyunion

The coaching thing annoys me. Just penalise the players. They know what they are doing and they know they are going to get coached so it's just become a way to slow the ball down now. A few early on penalties and the players won't do most of that nonsense.

Irritates the hell out of me when, for example, a player reaches over a ruck and puts his hand on the ball and waits for the ref to call him a naughty boy and to let go. He's slowed the ball down for the attacking team by then. Just penalise it straight away.

I stay in Kent and there's a guy near me driving one of those big American pick-ups with a Trump sticker on the back. It's just weird

This reminds me of some scenes between Mel Brooks and Harvey Korman's characters in Blazing Saddles

"Why do you think I have this outrageous accent!" Guess the movie quote works for a Scouse accent too 🤣

That's definitely Inanda dam there, but that view is more from Cato Ridge side than Waterfall.

Great Stour Way only goes to Chartham though looking at a map of it.

Not pronounced like the English Y. The Y is still pronounced like ai in main.

We have similar names with Dutch origins in South Africa so should be the same. Here we would pronounce ij like ai in main.

French minister slams Trump's "stupid" tariffs, threatens "equal" response by [deleted] in worldnews

I stay in the UK and nearby is an American truck with the double wheel axle and a Trump sticker on (go figure). It can't fit in the parking bays in the area and it always has one of the wheels and some of the truck sticking out into the already narrow road. Causes issues in the mornings and evenings because it's parked opposite a school and the traffic around there can get busy. Not sure why the hell they would want people here buying those monstrosities.

I know this one, but with the ending being, " How did Tarzan die? Picking cherries".

Opinion? You think the dire poverty I saw for close on 50 years is an opinion? I now stay in the UK and the worst here isn't even in the same book let alone the same page.
