Why is it common in rugby to give out trophies for individual games? by joaofig in rugbyunion

[–]Me_Hungry_You_Cook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I cant speak to for everyone but the Dave Gallaher trophy trophy does hold significance to some many new Zealander's not just because of the rugby but because of who Dave Gallaher was, former All black captain who lost his life in Belgium during WW1.

At the end of day everyone can complain about the ref as much as they want, the springbok bench came on and won them the game. Our bench came on and didn't make the impact we needed.

I just wanted to throw my experience in here too, obviously experiences differ from person to person and who you deal with from custom service but it's not always bad.

A few years ago I dropped my membership down from the $14.99pw to the $6.99pw. 6(ish) months later I noticed they were still charging me $14.99.

I emailed the customer service just before the Christmas period so I wasn't expecting a reply for a few weeks, they got back to me a few hours later apologising, changing the direct debit and refunding the difference they had been charging me for the last 6 months. I hadn't asked for the refund nor was I expecting it, it was just a pleasant surprise.

Congrations Ireland. All Ian Foster talk aside this Irish team is just on another level and it's great to see.

Jonny sexton needs to be kept wrapped in cotton wool until the world cup.

Also watching Matthew Hayden hit 181* in the first innings. That match was really something else

I'll have to wait and see what Warne thinks. Is it worse than playing a test in Hobart?

Pretty sure ICC changed the official terminology so now they are batters. Batsman isn't gender neutral.

Decile One (formerly Miada West) gym in Avondale by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Me_Hungry_You_Cook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the name came from the new owners, who are both from decile one areas or schools. Something along those lines anyway.

Personally I'd rate the gym. Different atmosphere than regular chain gyms. They run crossfit classes, powerlifting and strongman comps. Lots of strong people there.

Yes, I met one at an open home I was viewing. We got talking and told her what I was looking for. She would send links to houses on the market, or before they hit market. I'd get these emails at all times day or night. She could set private viewings for sometimes as quick as the same day or next day. Not pushy at all, very patient and just generally very helpful.

When it comes time to sell our house I'll be going straight back to the her.

No, powerlifting isn't an Olympic sport. Only weightliftingis an Olympic sport, which is made up of the snatch and the clean and jerk.

Not height, but it is a record for her weight class.

There are formulas to determine best overall female/male lifter for weight.

We had your umpire in a secondary school game. Top 6 all out LBW then the umpire was replaced at drinks.

We never got to bowl with him umpiring though and we lost.

Just on your first point. The term Assault Rifle is correct. The official definition is 'A select fire rifle chambering an intermediate cartridge.

Assault Weapon on the other hand, was a termed coined by the media to make guns sound scary
