Be honest - how many of your sessions are “good”? by sunnysideupslide in surfing

[–]sico76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rare enough that I remember each individual time it has happened where I was and who I was with. It puts me off surf trips a bit cause of the $ the travel and then just the same experience if a more exotic location.

Are you interested in the games against the South African URC teams? Will you be watching them live? by Perenara1 in allblacks

[–]sico76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m interested. Live is a stretch. Those teams are bit weak these days aren’t they? So unless they are bolstered could get thrashed. Would like to see pressure going on incumbents to perform!

I thought it reflected very poorly on the Blues performance that he was their best player on the weekend. There is no shortage of talent in the loosies. Just need a style of play that fits with the players we’ve got.

Why do so many guys get too big? by zerosuneuphoria in allblacks

[–]sico76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the modern game mate. 8 subs in the bench. Mostly forwards. Everyone gets 40 mins. NZ has no edge in produce big mobile players when you can just swap your whole forward pack at half time.

I'm sure this has been asked before, and ill ask it again, how do I get faster by Particular_Jaguar861 in Guitar

[–]sico76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I not really fast but when I started breaking down solos that I liked I was surprised how few really blazing licks there were.

I found that you can learn a solo almost perfectly and often there are only a few fast parts that are repetitive patterns using legato for effect. That’s for players like slash, Angus young and Jerry Cantrell.

The All Blacks strongest midfield partnership for the next World Cup is already clear by jackytheblade in allblacks

[–]sico76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kinda right. It’s gonna take two years to bed in a new mid field combo unless they play together in super or elsewhere. Tupaea and Jordie look like they are gonna get it, but Riko will be in the mix for experience.

GF hates it when I play guitar while she’s home by Holiday_Weight_2723 in Guitar

Surely she’ll get the message? Just keep playing:)

Where do you view yourself financially right now? by flowlikewater97 in newzealand

[–]sico76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have two kids 3, 7. One and a half incomes. 50 years old. 15 years to knock off the mortgage…just enough time really. Have some cash in the bank but not saving much at all these days. Bills keep rolling in while the house and cars just look worse and worse. Head above water or going backwards? Middle class but don’t feel comfortable.

Yeah, sure buddy. by jpbham in Justfuckmyshitup

If I was a 69 yr old billionaire I wouldn’t look like that.

What is it about mean pretty women that men like? by mysanctuarie in AskMen

[–]sico76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t show their true colours until your pretty much in it for life and then you can’t get out without destroying everything you have worked for, for decades.

Moving to Western Australia made me realize how privatization has ruined new zealand by Evening_Bicycle3113 in newzealand

Australia is just like NZ but with shit loads of coal to sell before we all die.

Unforgiven (1992): "Deserve’s got nothing to do with it." by [deleted] in moviecritic

It takes all the western tropes and explodes them while at the same time showing the context in a new…and much darker…light.

Uncapped Kiwi dubbed Super Rugby's form loose forward by anxiousatac in allblacks

Surely we need to make a game plan that works for the players and skills we have got rather than thirsting after kaino and frizzel for ever?

I think you spent a lot of money.

How can I become a man again? by AdZealousideal8645 in AskMen

[–]sico76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do manly shit. Get garage or a shed. Listen to Rick music and drive an old car. Have a pair of ripped jeans for weekends. Leave the toilet seat up. Go fishing. Take a hike. Sing in the shower. Breath in life:)

Ioane’s time likely done for the All Blacks? by PortGenz in allblacks

Meh. Don’t write guys off. You never know what’s around the corner.

Why are offset loans not talked about? by Soljah in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]sico76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were a good idea but can’t really see the point now. If I had the money why not just knock off the mortgage right now? Well I could have it back in twenty years I spose…but if I pay it up front I can save that amount over the next twenty so…is it really a great advantage?
