Hard News: Doing anything Thursday?,
Great. I'll be there. I may be slightly late as I have to transport a bunch of opera singers into town from Onehunga so if a free drink could be saved for me (bloody free-loading arts practitioners) I'd appreciate it!

Butting in: on Thursday is it okay for those of us from Wellington to attend if we are in town? If so, do we have to wear something that identifies us as visitors to the city? A Hurricanes away strip for example?

Field Theory: You paid how much?!,
Well, if you get a QB you've gotta protect him.....
I wonder if Urlacher put some pressure on them to tool up the offence? -
Field Theory: You paid how much?!,
I'd love to have met y'all tomorrow, but I have a game of football to play and then a wedding to attend. Shame, because I love Epic!
I think Cutler will do alright in Chicago. I think the Bears had to do something like that to try and keep the fans onside. Basically when you've had to put up with Orton and Grossman you might start to think that the Bears were a waste of your supporting time and dollars.

Field Theory: Stalemate still contains…,
Strictly no target should be unattainable, but some targets should be inconceivably unlikely, so that the team captains can base their strategies around them.
So, if you had been NZ and had decided not to enforce the follow-on, what target would people have set India to win that game (based on us batting at 4 runs per over during our second innings).

Field Theory: Stalemate still contains…,
There have been some bloody fabulous test draws. That wasn't one of them.
And yet, if we were Indian supporters we'd be hailing it as a great draw, rather like we did here

Oh, and I just thought that Stalemate does contain the word stale. It also contains the word mate. And if I was cleverer (and faster) I'd have worked that into my previous post!

You know who enjoyed the game? Garth George. How can you defend that test cricket fans?
I enjoyed the game.
I don't like Garth George.
The fact that we agreed on this makes the world a slightly less animostic place, if only breifly. And surely that is beauty enough in itself.

Maybe he started off wanting to say "a quantum leap faster"?
Which he probably didn't say so as to stop his constiuents getting confused

Stuart, that's not Luddism. You'd have to start smashing things to qualify.
Well, there was that incident involving me, a wall and a recalcitrant laptop but that was probably more frustration.......
