  1. Straylan and Kiwi politics

    Its awful, one of my clients is a property developer called Winton. Last year the now minister of finance Nicola Willis complained there were too many Lobbyists in parliament and called for greater transparency with respect to lobbyists. This was in response to a Labour MP who had quit politics...
  2. Straylan and Kiwi politics

    So here in NZ we now have a situation where there was a list of preferred companies for the fast track approvals bill. This enables companies to bypass many previous environmental and social standards and speed up approval of projects and shorten consenting times. Among the changes we have the...
  3. 'Invincible' all-girl football team goes whole season unbeaten - in boys' league

    Its one of those things where for the majority of the time playing girls in only girls teams will generally work best but it doesnt mean its right all of the time. Its a bit like where its generally better for kids to play within their own age group but every now and then there are situations...
  4. 'Invincible' all-girl football team goes whole season unbeaten - in boys' league

    Yes social comfort has a big impact. Making sure sport is fun and challenging for young athletes helps a great deal in keeping them in their chosen sport. Ive seen it so much over the years.
  5. 'Invincible' all-girl football team goes whole season unbeaten - in boys' league

    It used to be that way because of numbers playing and also availability of quality coaching for girls. 20 years ago I had a 7 year old girl in a boys team I coached, she stayed in the team till she was 14 and ended up playing for NZ at an u17 WC. Back then there just werent the girls teams that...

    There is an interview from a few years ago where Serena Williams spoke about playing Andy Murray https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-news-wta-atp-i-would-lose-6-0-6-0-in-five-minutes-serena-williams-on-playing-against-andy-murray/
  7. 'Invincible' all-girl football team goes whole season unbeaten - in boys' league

    Just on the better development if training in a mixed team thing, thats not really good advice unless you are in a place with low numbers. Development is multi faceted and we know with real certainty that girls do better and improve faster when playing and training with other girls. The quality...

    Did you actually read the article? What propoganda?
  9. If ten Hag was sacked tonight, who would you have as an interim?

    Ole, he has been there and dealt with the pressure. He would only be there till the end of the season.
  10. Gaming Video games you miss

    If you mean Full Throttle yes they did a graphics update but Im meaning a full redo with the latest style graphics and a longer more in depth story etc. The same story, the sdame feel but looking like it had been made in 2024. Less cartoon style.
  11. Gaming Video games you miss

    Elite on the Commodore 64 I would love to see a complete remake of Full Throttle with the graphics and motion capture of today
  12. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    I watched Aberdeen give Celtic a really good push in the semi final. Almost a similar thing in that Aberdeen in reality would have only had a 1 in 10 chance of winning but played their best game of the season and lost on penalties. For all those thinking this is a game we will win I would be...
  13. Film Zack Snyder's REBEL MOON

    I watched the first, thought it was junk, weirdly watched it a second time and it seemed less junk. So I watched the sequel hoping it would help the first one but it didnt, in fact the 2nd one is 10 times worse than the first junk. Its a plodder. Is there a third in this series? Hope they...
  14. Kelly Slater retires

    Possibly one of the greatest sportsmen of all time finally calls it quits. He might do one last contest as a wildcard entry but thats it for one of the longest pro surfing careers ever. Oldest and youngest ever to win the World Title. 11 times World Champ, 56 tour wins, 3 Triple Crowns, 8...
  15. What one single action would make you a ten Hag fan again?

    A string of 10 clean sheets.
