Me too. That story reminds me of the night England lost to West Germany on penalties at the 1990 World Cup.
Funny you should mention this Richard, as I was thinking yesterday that this game is similar to the ABs loss yesterday. 1990 was arguably England's best team since 1966 and their best chance to win back the football World Cup. Their failure to do so has led to successive tournaments where, despite continued high expectations and hype, their chances of victory seem to get further and further away.
Oh, and I started the day with another Hammers loss, not a good omen as it tuned out...

I've even ordered in an extra George Forman so the bacon isn't to unhealthy.
Ordering an extra George Forman makes it sound like some kind of completely brilliant junk food. "Yo, my man, gimme two Royales with cheese and an extra George Forman on the side' etc...

I mention this because you may well know that the Dropkicks are no fans of yachting. When the America's Cup rolls around we merely roll our eyes and look for something approximating 'real' sport on the telly, competitive eating for example.
For me, sport has to involve a ball. Logical? No, but it's just the way I've always been. So I love rugby, football and cricket and I don't mind League. But the Commonwealth Games, Olympics and Americas Cup? Nah, not bothered. Rally and Formula 1? Do me a lemon. Tennis, yeh I can live with it.
The funny thing is, by my own standards I should like hockey. I don't, and I don't know why, It just never appealed really.

Ok, here's mine, for the AB match.

Here's the optimists approach;
1. There's now a great chance for several players to shine against Romania and get into contention for the QF. I'm thinking of Aaron Mauger and Joe Rokocoko especially.
2. The first team regulars won't be too happy with that performance and many of them are going to have close to 2 weeks to dwell on it. Look for them to come out firing in the QF.

Damn you pretty Nelson types...It's free as in anti-slavery not as in beer.
I too have to pay for Xmas.
Oh I'm right with you really. Firefox with my favourite extensions switched off is like dreaming you're Dan Carter then waking up to find you're really Peter Dunne.

Heh. I'll remember you to my children when they don't get any Christmas presents because Daddy didn't sell enough ad impressions this year ....
Damn that open source movement and their Christmas wrecking capabilities!

Although frankly, I'm not sure whether any of them surpass the comedic value of Bishop Brian's press release.
Does anyone else get creeped out by Brian's mate Richard Lewis? Every time I see him I think he looks like a man who gets into bar fights at the weekend.

Go and study the ads (on all Public Address pages, but not System) and you'll get the idea. Just post 'em in the discussion.
My goodness. Disable Adblock Plus for a one-time look at PA and it lights up like a Christmas tree! Whodathought?

See, there's the difference - Bill finding cures for Malaria and Aids and you...you want to buy the NZRFU.
Insensitive clod.
I know I know. I wish I was deep instead of just beautiful.
