Absolute cod of an injury to have!

Do you play Tennis?

Nope. Have played a lot of golf in the past and have quite a physical job so Dr suggested it is probably result of repetitive strain over many years.

A restful time might be in order. 

Gathering that it wont be covered under ACC either.

Age + wear and tear = no ACC

Oh cock. Just realised that I am entering that stage of my life where my age comes into consideration when injuries present themselves. Only 39 in Feb... ☹️

They are only in that position because they feed off the millions of people globally who watch their show, buy their products and follow their social media. 

Cant 100% blame the Kardashians for their fame and wealth.

Yep kind of, their dad was one of OJ’s lawyers and that made the Kardashian name known. Also one of them married Bruce Jenner. They weren’t really that known, but basically the thing that set them into stardom was the fact that Kim had a sextape with B-List rapper Ray J leaked, and it went viral. She rode the back of this fame and got the family involved. Embarrassed that i know this much

True but I think you will find that it is not accident that they are so famous: they have full time marketing teams working for them, everything about them and their image is carefully managed, manipulated and marketed to the gullible masses, who in their mindless stupidity just lap it up.

Sounds harsh...cos it is :D

The whole thing is pretty ridiculous imo

Back in the days of yore the masses looked up to scientists, poets, philosophers, artists; people who brought real value to the world.

Now we idolize reality TV stars famous for making sex tapes.

I think that's very slowly changing for the better. People who actually have something to say are becoming more media savvy. I'm thinking Elon Musk, Neil Degrasse Tyson and even people like Joe Rogan. He has a very interesting cross-section of guests on his podcast, not just comedians and MMA fighters.

There will always be the likes of the K*********s (not even gonna use the word or I'd have to look up how to spell it and to be honest I don't really give a fudge) but you've just gotta ignore it the best you can. Everyone will move on to the next fad mass-marketed bollocks at some stage but there's good shark too if you look!

Idiots in social sport...

I've played football for 33 years and cricket for 20 years. For much of that time, I have captained or help organise teams I've been involved with.

In that time, I have NEVER pulled my team off of the field du to opposition behaviour - that is until the weekend just gone.

When you're umpiring your own games, playing what is supposed to be a "Gentleman's game", to then be questioned on every decision, harassed, abused and surrounded by opposition players everytime they feel hard done by, it's just awful.

The opposition have a history of this and hopefully, Cricket Wellington will come down like a ton of bricks on them.

I know everyone should play to win, but not to the point where the rules of the game get manipulated and questioned at every turn.

Just 35 overs into a two day game comprised of 170 overs and it's all over due to player behaviour and the inability of their captain to control his team.

The Club putting a second game up in Auckland - the final game of the season. Time for new Management? Who dictates the rules? The Sponsors or the club? I say that as a response to a conversation I had in New Plymouth with some one. Because in theory it should always be the Club.

Salted Caramel. 

All caramel is salted and always has been, it's a key ingredient. Suddenly it sounds a bit fancier so everyone is updating their product names with "salted" without changing recipes. 

I get very annoyed at small things.

What if it was called "Caramel - now with extra salt"

Also we need to talk about Manuka Honey.

These motherf*ckers have zero idea how much Manuka these bees are actually tending to. They're probably throwing a couple of manuka trees in the vicinity of their hives to charge 1000% more than regular honey. 

As far as I can see there is very little regulation around this.

Were you already "Salted Paulm" or are you "Paulm with Added Salt"?

...and don't they test the honey to see how much of a certain strain of pollen is in it, which then indicates its Manuka-ness (which is probably the technical term)

Ticketmaster facilitating scalping through the resell part of their website. The purpose of this should be for people who genuinely can't go (because life happens, and it's happened to me a couple of times that I couldn't go to something for reasons that didn't exist at time of purchasing several months in advance) to recover their costs by selling at the purchase price rather than people reselling at more than double the price within 5 minutes of the presale going live. I guess they figure it's going to happen anyway so they may aswell provide the platform so they can take a second cut of fees for the same tickets instead of Trademe getting it.

It pissed me off yesterday when I was trying to buy tickets for Celine Dion for my Mum and couldn't get anything in the presale yet minutes after it went live the resell page had tickets listed at 3 times the price. My mum has wanted to see her for 20+ years and has had a pretty tough time lately so fingers crossed I can get some.

"...for my Mum." Sure.

That sucks though - Ticketmaster are terrible, always have been.

Right you are;

https://www.mpi.govt.nz/growing-and-harvesting/hon...

Test only started in Dec 2017 by the looks, due to complaints - I was reading about it some time ago.

But that's great. We no longer need to talk about Manuka Honey. 

At the same time I accept that I will probably never eat it, due to price.

That is even without the suspicion that some retailers (not sure if ticketmaster is one, but I wouldn't be surprised) actually hold back some of their allocation to go on the 'resale' section of their site.

True. They go to resale quickly enough once presale has opened that I'd be shocked if almost all of them weren't just Ticketmaster themselves.
