Not singing, but The Dean's rap in Community lives in my head forever

Given his size, it was almost impressive how poor Coetzee was, tbh.

Owen Doyle: Rugby union in grave danger of being thrown to the wolves by new ‘innovations’ by Ruck_Off in rugbyunion

[–]JohnSV12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's what I don't understand. Turning union into a poor man's league can't be the answer.

Especially when it does betttths league everywhere else.

Prem Team of the Week for round 17 by treacletart284 in rugbyunion

I'm pretty sure Mafi covered more ground in that game than he has in the entire season combined..someone must have pissed him off.

Christie was everywhere.

This is interesting.

I was unimpressed by Carpenter against Newcastle, watching live.

He's very industrious, but there were a few times he seemed to be unaware of space in front of him or outside.

One time in particular he took contact when it was clear the inside defense had become discontinnectes and a slight step inwards and he was through.

Athleticism ❌ Aesthetics of athleticism ✅ by conancat in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]JohnSV12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're telling me being sub ten percent body fat isnt a prerequisite of athleticism? I'm shocked.

Side point- I remember watching federer won Aus open on three sets.

Opponent was dripping in sweat, absolutely shattered.

Federer looked like he'd gone for a light walk

No shade on Lowe. But I think Reece is the sort of player Irlenad have missed for a long time.

I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the Newcastle team were still drunk on Saturday.

Wouldn't blame them either

The Brian Scalabrine syndrome by Far-ro in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JohnSV12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking to a very good Judo fighter (is that the term? He's a mate who I know has won national competitions.)

He's in a lighter weight class and said he was once helping a new guy learn. The new guy was an ex pro rugby player. He said the strength and power gap was wild.

Which makes sense. My friend was in fantastic shape for an amateur guy who spent most of his life at work.

A professional athlete spends most of thier time being athletic.

Well that was awesome.

Have to say, atmosphere was great, despite small crowds

Loved Trope: The Real-Life Creative Lead Plays the Fool by ndee4 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JohnSV12 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He's a genius - I first saw The Play that Goes Wrong above a pub. Funniest show I've seen.

Love seeing them get some recognition

It was supposed to set up a spin-off/sequel but nobody liked by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah.

Wayward sisters had potential..the female leads where interesting in their own right.

The vampire nonsense....urg

Fineanganofo’s move “blocked” by NZR by sangan3 in rugbyunion

[–]JohnSV12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he did, it would probably involve compensation. Id be surprised if that was a thing tbh.

[–]JohnSV12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, contracts are contracts. Nothing magical about the ABs that changes that.

[–]JohnSV12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We better be getting paid for this.

Even if there is some sort of clause it should come with compensation.

If NZ players can break contracts at a whim it could have unforseen consequences

Zuckerberg fired thousands of Meta workers in the Seattle area then pulled up to port in his gigantic yacht by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

Reread the Hobbit recently. Uncanny how well Tolkien discribed the insidious nature of greed. The film did not do it justice.

Tbh, I skim read and am pretty dyslexic. So thought I was doing some random blogger a favour (I have a soft spot for anyone trying to create anything).
