How do you feel about "could you just shut up for the rest of this over?"
I assume that means you'll be there Mr Tiso

Just saw the World Autumn range. There are hounds-tooth Hammer Pants. Will that do?
-
We should have a sign.
You don't think people will recognise us by the intelligent conversation going on in between overs?
Although there was a conversation about fascinators/badges at one point....

The PAS group? They're sitting over there, underneath that thick cloud of self-satisfaction.

Actually, I think we should all go dressed like the School of Athens and form a tableau at the drinks breaks.

And turning up their noses at the Basin's beer of choice (if I remember right) Export Gold.
Am I going to have to follow through on my promise, from when we did this last year, to bring cucumber sandwiches and scones?

I'm wearing them right now - "Someone needed pant".
more hand-pumped cask-conditioned real ale
We had a handpump serving "bag-conditioned" Nerdherder pale ale (it is essentially a huge bladder - like a giant version of the bags that cask wine goes into). It was easily the biggest volume seller at our stand, which is funny because although we've been doing it for 18 months I'm always really nervous about what the average drinker will think of "flat beer".
The Malthouse, Bar Edward and D4 do kegged beer through handpumps, while Hashigo Zake, The Malthouse and Bar Edward do bagged beer through them.
Neither system is quite as amazing as a perfectly conditioned cask ale but it is a very good alternative given the limitations of bars (at least until someone can chip in a million dollars to set up Yeastie boys brewpub in Wellington).

One thing that my local brewery in the UK (the Milton Brewery) did that I thought was great was sell beer by the polypin. That's a 36-pint plastic bladder, basically the "huge bladder" that Yalnikim mentions above. Excellent for parties where you wanted to serve decent beer in reasonable volumes. I've yet to see anything similar in NZ, but I think it'd be a pretty good seller. Anyone know of such a thing commercially available in NZ? Or is it, like pork and stilton sausages, a little thing from the UK that I'm just going to have to think back upon with a hint of sadness?

You don't think telling someone to shut up while jingle jangling will look just a little silly?

The bells are to ensure he sits with the appropriate level of stillness.

Precisely.

Please, please wear fascinators. That would be so rad!

Pff, the last time I wore something that small and lacy on my head I was dressed as a French Maid. Imagine a doily on a racehorse.

You do realise what The People are going to say now, don't you?

We are never going to manage to smuggle a racehorse into the Basin.

NSFW!!!!

You aren't even willing to try? I underestimated you, Emma.
-
Okay, fine. We get the horse a press pass, put a brown jacket on it, and tell everyone it's Andrew Mulligan.
-
We're still smuggling in the pig as per the original plan, though, right?
-
Yep, we just need to get approval for its lipstick colour from Rodney Hide.
-
I may be in Wellington, but I'm starting to think I should visit the Zoo instead of the Cricket. The wildlife are at least in cages...
-
A pig? Is this just an elaborate build-up to a spit-roast joke?
-
To you it's a joke. To the pig, not so much.
