Not sure if it's just me or the tv but Matt Cross has a odd shaped head to me. Looks like Easter egg

Amazing what you find on You Tube

This one takes some beating.

Another good musician

Another good song. https://youtu.be/kGF5NlfFWjA

https://youtu.be/aM2IYVala0g This kind of music can inspire us.

Football ferns beaten 5 0 by Portugal, despite one of the players saying they would be a lot easier than the US, some of our fem players and teams build themselves up only to bum out.

History keeps repeating itself and will continue to do so, you cant beat nature.

Gore only had 2 nominations for its rating 55 plus summer cup, thats bad.

We have discussed the geo blocking idea and ive always said the TAB need to expand their customer base not shrink it, then this, pitiful. What is wrong with this lot ?

Once again our elite women's sports team have proven to be in a league of their own, women's T20, for all the hype they fail miserably, I don't expect any difference with the footballers at the World Cup. Their seems a bias by free to air to coverage of women's sport, must be the woke world we live in, I'm not knocking it, just putting things in perspective. .

Rodney's fucked in the head but still funny, yet Jimmy Carr and today's ilk just don't do it for me aye, strange but true.

Something to brighten the day https://youtu.be/U705EAx70Cwyo b

On another totally different tangent did anybody see on tv1 that bus driver in Auckland in the flood, water up to the windows, priceless.

Does harness racing need a variance of 85 rating points? Maybe 100 is the top rating and no penalty points for 5 starts after a win, there must be manipulation by some allowing their horse to drop back to get a easier run, it also stops reducing the numbers in the higher grade, stakes should be scaled as well, maybe struggling non winners race for less but winners get a stake increase The old c1 c3 system was fine, but no relief for genuine struggles also chased them out of the system

No Riverton Cup this week, no numbers, Horarata Cup, only 13500 stake, no races for top class pacers other than all in FFA races which usually are canned if Purdon turns up, all the money is now by racing in Oz for 2 or 3 months, this industry sadly is fucked in NZ.

Guy Williams, never listened ,watched him, heard about him though, but like most so called kiwi humor it's like week tea, once again one or two of the old timers were ok, maybe it's just me, naybe it's just the old been there seen it heard it all before but Jimmy Carr, Some of the stuff he comes out with is rather sad, saddest part is people flock to hear it, takes all sorts I guess.

Did I hear correctly that Hawera may have four days next year, Trots Talk on senz.

Does anybody know if the crowds have turned up for Hawera. Westport Nelson , Blenheim do but different kettle of fish across the straight.

I like humour but looking through you tube the last few days and some of the present day stuff, the likes of Jimmy Carr who i have seen fronting the odd tv show but some of the clips of his stand up one liner jokes, [SHIT] very ordinary yet there are a few others just the same, maybe its just me getting older but it dont excite me, swearing is fine in its right place but kevs songwriting, and the old day comedians of the past had plenty of initiative, its a changing world but not sure if its changing for the better.

Did Hawera get the rain? Will be very interesting scenario if so.

Last week I had trackside on, I don't watch that often, I think it was a screenshot of the Gore course, hardly a soul there, looked like the sort of crowd that probably you would see at the trotting trials which strangely they don't have anymore. And that was the big day of the year, one thing I did notice is the track was a soft 5 or 6 and they are having a very dry spell.

That would be on the tote only perhaps or is fixed odds as well, im no expert but taking out 8 percent on fixed would seem a big chunk out of the margins. If you bet on the phone on course is that a on course bet or not, can the TAB trace the location where the bet was taken ? There must be many days when clubs dont cover their staffing cost with piddly sized turnover, race on a holiday you get more people but wages go up, must be some very fine margins clubs are running, throw in the normal factors like weather or poor fields, just one big gamble.

Speaking of silly little games the only unvaccinated tennis player is starting to come into his own despite having a dodgy hammy, last night he went up several gears, some aussie upstart who is a good player was sent packing, no one is even worried about him from last year being sent home, probably the only thing that will beat him will be that hammy, are their limits on maximum bets on head to heads, im not up with such things.
