Things that make you go hmmmm

I don't know what's worse, the review/rant or the 15 out of 237 people that found the review useful

That last part is an anti semitic statement. Probably written by a good ol boy from Kentucky or Louisiana. I would find it near impossible to call it a review. You were closer with "rant".

Just bought some Pringles for the first time in years as for some reason I felt like some. Is it just me or are they much smaller than they used to be?

yep. It's the greatest tragedy of 2016. 

The chips themselves or the packaging? The tube comes in 2 different sizes....

The chips. Think the tall tube must be narrower too as I'm sure I used to be able to get my whole hand in there. Must be at least 5+ years since I've had them.

yea they changed them this year.  I had some one week and then the next week they changed.  Thinner tin, smaller chips and they taste way worse.

Flavs. They are indeed good. Probably better than Pringles now since the change. 

Sweet thanks, will have to give them a try.  I just gave up on Pringles, tried the new flavor a couple of times and wrote them off so I'm definitely down to try a new brand.

For some years those boof-heads that follow the egg ball game have been giving football fans shark over the Phoenix and their attendances. 10 years ago the 7's sold out in 10 minutes. Since tickets went on sale in December, they have sold just 1300 for an event in 3 weeks time. So I say a BIG fudge-you to those boof-heads. Eat my shark. Oh how the game holier than God himself has fallen.

Perhaps the Nix crowd could be persuaded to help them out!

Na, they just need a better marketing division to fix the crowds   /s

It's a little bitter-sweet to me.

Yea the rugby boofheads not doing so well makes others not look so bad, but at the same time anything succeeding in Wellington is good for things coming to Wellington.

They killed the events popularity by killing the party people travelled for.

Having said that, I'd be fudgeing stoked for 12,000 at the Nix.

So turning the 7's into a family thing has backfired big time. Considering a lot of kids have the attention span of 5 minutes, I don't understand why they tried to make a change for that. at Least with the party crowd you had a lot of drunk people contained rather than on the roads as most either car pooled or caught the trains/buses.

problem is, the drunk people started to realise you could dress up and act like an idiot on Courtenay place without paying $100 for a ticket. 

That's true. 

It would not surprise me to find out that the 9s also had an impact on that especially with the migration down from Auckland.

Not so sure on that as the 9's have a different type of game style. Eg, in union, you get in the gap and sprint for a try.

In the league is is more like a mini version of the 13 aside game tactically. 

Also in Auckland for the first two, there was a novelty factor and there is a massive league fan base up there. When the warriors do well, there are decent crowds.

you're assuming people are there for the Rugby. 

Hell no. it was and always will be for the party, then maybe the semi final & final, otherwise the players might as well have stayed at home.

So I'm cycling to work at night and at Paramata bridge I see a guy dragging a huge dog along the wooden boardwalk;. I'm thinking "that dog really doesn't want to go for a walk".

Anyhow I pass them - this guy is grinning at me and I look down to see the dog has been completely disemboweled from throat to groin.

I say to the guy "What the fudge happened to this dog?"

I then see it's a wild pig.

I'm guessing he must have  shot it, gutted it and found some cancer and didn't want to eat the meat so decided dump the pig in the sea.

Only in New Zealand.

Yeah In these sorts of situations I tend not to stick around.

That is seriously sad.

Must be after some bloody big eels!

Maybe just adding brine to the pork.

Health and Safety

Juventus' new badge. Looks a lot more like something you'd see on the App Store as an alternative to Uber rather than a Football team.

It's dreadful.  

Looks like an advert logo for Jungle Juice.

Jesus - terribly unfortunate mix up by the Herald. 

Probably a ManU conspiracy.

Against FC sounds like fierce opposition.  Seriously, do journos just use autocorrect or something.

The Oscar ceremony. Not only did they made a pigs ear out of the best picture and the aftermath of that etc, but they also feature in their in memorium segment acknowledging those whom have died, an Australian ladys, whom is very much alive, picture with her late friends name. How embarrassing.

Just found out that Sky didn't have the rights to stream the Oscars and cut the stream as soon as they realised....after over an hour.

That reminded me of the 12th Man's "Wired World of Sports" and "Anna Bollic", the weight lifter who's ball popped out when weight lifting.
