Wow, that sounds like a nice beer.

I've been drinking the Mata Artesian recently and can recommend it, but not for curry.

At www.realbeer.co.nz they mention Biman :

Biman (5.2%) was designed to complement spicy cuisine at a local curry house. I call this beer “The People’s Champion” because of its incredible popularity at beer tastings. Biman is teak coloured with a lovely nose of lime and pine needles. It has lashings…

NZ brewed beer that was apparently designed specially for consumption with curry?

Steinlager? So you have something else to blame the side-effects on the next morning...

| I wish I was deep instead of just beautiful.

I'd settle for either of those.

I always wanted to be one of the idle rich. At least I made it half-way.

Slight hijack – Any of you fine gennelmen and ladies recall the name of a newish NZ brewed beer that was apparently designed specially for consumption with curry?

It was that black jersey with the white collar for so many years. But now it's that high-tech nipple-enhancing fabric with contrasting panels for aerodynamic awesomeness.

Sounds like someone's been watching more rugby than she admitted to. Though the description makes it sound like the "George Clooney batsuit"

Maybe we'll do another one-off.

Subject: the All Blacks uniform throughout the ages. It was that black jersey with the white collar for so many years. But now it's that high-tech nipple-enhancing fabric with contrasting panels for aerodynamic awesomeness.

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.

Oh and Bill isn't in to find the cure, he's in to defend copyright laws and get tax breaks.

When I interviewed her I completely forgot to talk about the All Blacks, when she asked me later I didn't think it mattered. Maybe we'll do another one-off.

I have often been caught out laughing out loud to podcasts (usually Ricky Gervais). My partner was on the London Tube when…

But you've obviously found your way either here or to the Dropkicks podcast, so you're halfway there.

I just listened to the lastest podcast, where Martha critiques the teams' uniforms. I was walking down the street when I heard mention of the mansierre that some teams' uniforms seem to have.…

I always thought if I was a Bill Gates billionaire I'd just buy the NZRFU and be done with it.

I'd make offers players couldn't refuse to stay in NZ, tell SANZAR to stick their Super comp and reinstate the good old NPC. Winning the Ranfurly Shield would bestow treasures…

Har, that's brilliant, and a nice twist on the 'I totally forgot to wear any clothes today' dream. I'm sure the nerves would have calmed down after the first couple of hit ups.

Dude! I had a dream I played for the Warriors! I was on the pitch going "I don't think this is right, I've never played league" Ahhh, great dream.

Richard Irvine

Nice one – I once dreamed I played for the All Blacks in Sydney – I was in the tunnel giving the Australians some amazingly witty putdowns before we ran out. I wasn't worried about repercussions, though, 'cos I had Frank Bunce backing me up. That's still my favourite dream…
