There are no Catholics left in Coburg, they are all at the MCG.

No, but I did watch a game where same colour as the 8 ball on the pool table Burn beat Spurs, that went down like a pork chop in a Synagogue .....oops, thats not Kosher is it?....oops.....again.

You do know you can't call it that anymore....racist apparently, best call it.......same colour as the 8 ball on the pool table pudding, that'll work.....

Black that should read.....

Did you declare all that back pudding to MAF at AKL airport?

They've moved on from that cuisine, too downmarket, it's all organic, environment friendly health conscious superfoods now, delivered by lithe nymphs riding unicorns, it's the place to be Jackson St, Petone.........

Who Dat?......Looks like a young Richie McCaw.

So not many eh? Spurs fan?

What crime did she commit in Scotland that caused her to be sent to Pahiatua?

Nah, of course not, you'd have to import the bookies from Oz, on special visas........not allowed to fleece the Kiwi suckers, well only a little bit.

Stop whinging, roll your sleeves up and get up to the Gorge and do your bit.......meanwhile Saundry flying back to host ''Fashions On The Field'',........umbrellas optional.

Bus loads of excited punters expected to head to Awapuni Saturday, special trains running from Wellington and the army called in to move the debris and detritus blocking the Manawatu Gorge so the multitudes from Hawkes Bay and beyond can access the countries premier grass track for a glorious day of punting and frivolity.........you lucky buggers, I'm so jealous.

Back in the day over here in Oz to get a licence to train jumpers you had to prove to a stewards panel you had the smarts, training jumpers required a different set of skills, we had some brilliant jumps trainers back then, the criteria has changed NM, and what I witnessed in NZ was abysmal, that, combined with poor schooling of up and coming riders.......no point to points, no or little schooling bouts and SFA overseeing.......in the end, sadly, the outcome was to be expected.....it was no different in South Australia, doomed, and the blame as usual starts at the top......but they will deflect that, Groundhog Day.

It's good to go there from time to time, just to see how the other half live. It thrives on sycophants and narcissistic comment, not so bad here and some pretty good banter most times, keep it up I say.

Too kind SLB, way too kind.

Sure is, 28 yesterday, thousands of Kiwi's on the beaches here, 26 today, not a cloud in the sky, Godzone.....here comes another Air NZ plane over the top into Coolie airport.......chockers!

Further to the above, the racing governing body in QLD , = QRIC are a laughing stock, so RIB in NZ are not Robinson Crusoe's when it comes to questionable decisions...... If you read letsgohorseracing.com.au you'll be amazed by the goings on in the good ole state of QLD. Apologies if this is a tad off piste....

That sounds about right, if ever there was/is a boys club its 'rat cafe.'...good ole boys from the bayou ........if you've ever seen Deliverance you'll know......

Oh glory be, can you imagine the riding on Awapuni, the trials are bad enough.......ye haaa

Cambridge trials abandoned, lack of entries, hows that work out Saundry? and the other useless bludgers, largest training centre in Oceana they tell me? WTF ? .........I wonder if Jacinda's racing boffins have told her yet......''Your Highness, I think we fucked up'' these lunatics have pissed our 45 mil up against the wall......

The Coroner/s in NZ are a bloody disgrace anyway, I know from first hand experience, and I'm being kind when I say disgrace!!!!

Lets go for it.......Malcolm Johnstone the great Mal was sued for causing a fall, it finished Mal, he should have hung up his boots a long time prior as his suspension record will never be beaten. The litigator had terrible injuries, I wonder when or if Cory Brown sues for his fall as he will never ride again either......there......it's out there.....

There were about 100,000 Kiwis living in Oz when I got here, now about 800,000, so are they colonists too? or refugees? Huge Maori community on the northern Goldie, some are now 3rd generation, they didnt need to navigate by the stars, only 2 hours away but a whole different world, #fortunefavoursthebrave

No, but I did sail to AUS in 1973 on the Northern Star! ,.......thank fuck.

Good on BDL for exposing the TAB and it's hidden secret........been going on for years here in Australia. I gave up punting large many years ago, the behaviour I experienced by NZ TAB was deplorable, and again here in AUS, all due no doubt to the need to pay rebates to whales much bigger than I! It's the very reason corporate bookmakers survive as who on earth would bet with TAB? For those of you who dont know the name ''Sally Snow'' please google her, it will make your blood boil, and as for Zelko, well he's breaking no laws, just pushing the envelope, but to the extent he's deterred so many people from supporting that useless and disgusting TAB organisation. Brian de Lore should be congratulated for his wonderful expose, any doubting Thomas's should now convert, NZ has a real problem with this mob, you need a forensic investigation going back years, you maybe shocked by what is revealed.
