things that rule

Getting Guns n Roses seats alongside four of my Phoenix supporting friends. Bring on the 2nd of February.

Devon. A river runs through it. 

I can imagine the Zone breaking into a chorus of "November Rain"

After exactly 150 days since some Diego Costa-like motherfather chopped me down, I have driven a car for the first time since my injury. On top of this, the metal plates may come out this Novemember rather than next November with a view to getting me back playing cricket in the New Year. 12 months ahead of schedule rocks!

Good shark man.

HAIR SPRAY!!!

Oh my god, why did nobody tell me about this magical mixture?

I'm house sitting and the boy drew on the walls in vivid.  Googleing desperately I read hair spray can help, soaked a cotton bud in it and OH MY GOD NO VIVID.

Dads out there, dont panic when your child draws on the walls in vivid, there is a magic concoction here to help you.

Pro Tip: It will take some of the colour out of the wallpaper so plan for how you do strokes so it doesnt look weird.

You just have to explain why the walls in their bedroom are all sticky.

At least they won't move even in an earthquake!

Royz for literally putting his life on the line to help an 81 year old. Those dogs could have easily turned on him just as visciously. You really have done a most wonderful thing.

this week of sport - NFL, MLB postseason begins, A-League...

the fever zone.  I missed this so much.

This is why I love the game and always have loved the game. Especially just after 4 minutes in, if that doesn't touch your heart ....

bloody allergies 

Wrong thread?  Or are you a fan of itchy eyes, drippy nose and scratchy throat?

It was a joke about the reaction my body had to the above video.

Whooosh! That went right over my head as I didn't watch the video.  Sorry.  

Just watched the 4th minute bit and yep, my allergies started playing up too.

There's no fracture in my leg and I most likely can probably still compete in the half ironman in 6 weeks

Yays!

Having read all the Lee Child books, Jack Reacher reached the age of 56 on October 31 2016. He is 3 days older than me!!

Ireland battering the All Blacks.

Getting a new job! Woo!

Being part of a pretty sweet neighbourhood group. Myself and my flatmates, my next door neighbour, the downstairs neighbours and the 2 sets of neighbours out the back are debriefing the earthquake over a few wines/ciders/beers/whiskeys. Feeling safe and supported

And intoxicated.......

John Key resigning from December 12th and leaving his mate English to carry the can should they lose the next election.

Yeah but they wont. Labour are a train wreck and are broke. Labour will stay around 25%

You are quite right on that point. There is no opposition in this country...well not one that can be taken seriously.

Well it's MMP, the combined left is pretty close.

I've never voted for him but Key does a good job, English will be quite scary - he's a climate change denier for instance.

Thank fudge that useless shark cod is resigning. And I most definitely do not mean Merrick.

There are a few on here that love him. Not me, I liked Ron Mark.

he will be able to grab them by the hair a lot more now

Fact is that he was the most popular PM ever.

because he portrayed himself as a nice Kiwi bloke who enjoys rugby, beer and a BBQ and doesn't appear to get rattled by stuff and that's what matters most

Poor mans Tim Shadbolt!

Last day at my job, holiday pay in my account, pub downstairs, day off tomorrow...

Me.

And your amazing suntan !!
