  1. Helicopter ya fucking jessie If ya climb them you get to chat with the locals Did you manage to take in the wonderful' atmosphere of the Lake mahinipua hotel (about 5km south of Hokitika)? Ceiling was decorated with hundreds of old bras when I stayed there but probably been 'gentrified' now
  2. Actually Manc Bungy jumping as a 'sport' was invented by Oxford Uni students. Mr Hackett just hit on the idea of making money from it. Sky diving is ok pretty much anywhere in NZ as long as you do it with a company that is based at an airport rather than one that an old crop duster in a farmers field. Hang-gliding, Para-gliding, Luging, sky swings, white water rafting, river boarding all crop up in Queenstown which for me is an bid to hide how dull the place actually is to stay in especially given how expensive and/or restrictive some of the accommodation was when I was there (you want to stay longer than 5 days sir? well you will need to check out and go somewhere else for a couple of days then come back...or use BASE/ YHA on the high street which are twice the price) Blackwater Rafting in the North island (Waitomo) would be my recommendation followed by walking the Tongariro crossing near Taupo (mid-early spring) and experiencing a proper Mauri Hangi. South Island is the Milford Sound but at all costs avoid Dundedin & Invercargill.......grim.
  3. Welsh Dragon bar probably the closest thing to it.
  4. Group A Russia Saudi Arabia Egypt Uruguary Group B Portugal Spain Morocco Iran Group C France Australia Peru Denmark Group D Argentina Iceland Croatia Nigeria Group E Brazil Switzerland Croatia Serbia Group F Germany Mexico Sweden South Korea Group G Belgium Panama Tunisia England Group H Poland Senegal Colombia Japan
  5. Did they get a mortician to do Maradona's make up?
  6. Have to say this one looks a bit ropey to me. The city won the right to host some of the games but didnt have a 35000 seat stadium and their local team doesn't need that capacity. Result was they rebuilt the whole thing but have left the ends open and installed 12000 temporary seats which will be removed after the tournament and then the redevelopment will be completed. I've seen complaints that some parts of Sunderlands stadium make you feel cut off from the rest of the crowd but this takes that up a notch
  7. just need a season ending injury for Lewis to complete the full house
  8. Lewis Logan Shinnie © Considine O'Connor McLean Arnason Tansey Mckenna Christie May Subs: Rogers Reynolds Stewart Rooney Mackay-Steven Ball
  9. There should be a third 'Brown' option for this to be an official Donstalk Poll
  10. Was there not a rumour that back in the mid 90s the club were offered two upcoming french youth players on trial/ loan but decided to pass? One from Rennes (Gary Smith connection?) & the other from Monaco. Couple of years later said teenagers (Henry & Wiltord) were picking up world cup winners medals
  11. I know I'm biased but for me the look on that ref's face when the Motherwell players were arguing about it was straight out of a 'match fixing' plotline.
  12. Cracking Ruhr Derby today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AhLm-PkOYU
  13. you mean 'the world's favourite bank'. The same one that asked my GF if Australia was in the EU and has a habit of blocking your cards should you dare spend a single penny anywhere south of the Isle of Wight
  14. Brazil 1970 also drop points against Hamilton According to BBC stats Hamilton had no corners and only 1 shot on goal which they scored Carlos Alberto's other team had 11 corners and 9 shots on goal.
  15. Boom Sevco done by Dundee
  16. I presume the Broch will be FORCED to move the game to Pittodrie, Tannadice or Caley. Also be interested to see if Albion are allowed to play St Johnstone at Clifton Hill.
  17. Malcolm Young gone leaving only Angus from the original founders/line up (I think). Lucky enough to see him play on their Black ice tour but he really didn't look well at that time (as can be seen in this video)
  18. Apart from their stupid 'foul on the black, automatically lose the game' rule
  19. Chris McLaughlin seems to have moved his interest to Michael o'Neil now. Think we will have to wait until this time next year when the next SEVCO guy either quits or gets his marching orders.
  20. OOT!!!
  21. Arabs dumped out of challenge cup by Crusaders. A tactical defeat so they can concentrate on promotion...or just general shite-ness?
  22. Alex Rae sniffed out by the Red tops again and allegedly saying he would like to see McLeish given a second try Herald chucking Holland's favourite englishman's name about.
  23. soooooo he's still wearing red then?
