    ...and even feel mildly positive towards the sponsors (aren't you nice people Milo, National Bank and New World!)

    If you have a listen to the Dropkicks commentary (and I recommend you do!) you here us bitch about New World's decision to paint the court red and white, give red and white inflatable bangy things to the crowd and generally fill the stadium with the colours of the opposing team!

    Dumbest idea by a sponsor ever.

  • Field Theory: Sunday Bloody Sunday Newspaper,

    First up, thanks to Susan for emailing and pointing out that Kate Carpenter not Wai Taumaunu coached the Pulse, I was thinking of the almost as bad Shakers. I hate it when I trip in full charge.

    I can't wait for your topic in then (albeit unlikely) event that Wellington pull off a win on Saturday, No doubt there will be a fascinating game in the World Beach Frisbee series that grabs your attention.

    Oooo frisbee!

    But Don, why would I write a post about (fairly predictable) local rugby semi finals when there was an international sports match on? It was kind of my point.

    When did women start reading the sports section in large numbers? ;)

    Which is also my point. It's assumed that women will be interested in women's sport while everybody will be interested in men's sport.

  • Hard News: Real Gone,

    Real Groovy's prices for new music were quite high but you could find much worse ways to waste time than searching through the cheap bins for $2 bargains.

    My last purchase from the Auckland store was a stack of awesome old horror dvds.

    It will be missed.

    Nascar is boring, even the author of NZ's biggest Nascar fan blog has drifted way off topic...

  • Up Front: Just Answer the Question,

    So, for what it's worth, I think Hadyn's reply to Q2 should have been:

    "The gingers. They must be exterminated from the face of the Earth".

    Or more correctly:
    "Everyone but the gingers. That way all the women are hot and the guys can finally pick up."

  • Field Theory: Vrooooom,

    I've been to a couple of races at the old (now a bunch of ugly houses) Baypark raceway. My friend was a flag marshal and got us free tickets occasionally.

    I still remember watching truck racing with him one day. a truck came screaming around the corner and careened off the track towards us. As it hit the dirt a huge cloud flew up and you couldn't see anything. My friend sprinted into the cloud. He emerged dirty and grinning.

    "What happened?" I asked.
    "It swerved just before it hit the bank".
    "The bank where you were standing?"
    "Yeah, it was kinda stink, I wanted to see it crash"

    I've always wanted to know - at the track is there a "ground announcer"

    Yep

  • Field Theory: Vrooooom,

    I'm making a note in my book with 'Revenge' on the cover. It says 'Green, H'.

    Dude, I was born in the Hamilton, and spent roughly three years there before my family scarpered over the Kaimais

    Like the idiot who was carting around a tv playing porn on top of the mountain this year.

    Bet someone yelled at him to "put the race on"

  • Up Front: Just Answer the Question,

    Stormfront.org doesn't sound very SFW. Was it a yes or a no?

    There was a doco recently about the Nazis trying to recruit the Irish against the British (and how that idea failed)

  • Up Front: Just Answer the Question,

    Serious Question:

    Were gingas considered part of Hitler’s master Aryan race?

    How did this conversation go from Jews to Hitler?


    (yes, I am pushing my luck)
