Speaking of absences.In driving around and then through Eden/Epsom yesterday, my man commented that he hadn't seen any billboards bar 1 for John Banks. Concerted effort or what?

Mind you, even at Great Blends, you don’t know most of the people, until you know them.
You get those who remember bits from online and as the group moves around each other ,one can cross paths by intros. I tend to go, peeps I do know first then anyone else who bothers to communicate. I'm a bit of a pig like that :)
I'm always happy to meet others and sometimes my chats are really short because my memory is. I'm missing a bit in the brain. My concentration is real bad because I cannot remember. It is not disinterest, it is, can't remember. And I'm loud because my hearing in one ear was paralysed along with everything else. but very happy to meet PAS peeps. -

Yes I thought it very well received. I felt it quite appropriate under the circumstances, and , as you say seemed well understood by the French.

The French have been fined for confronting the Haka? That is fucking ridiculous.
It feels like a money grab one more time. Since when is a Haka so sacred it can't be challenged as a game of Rugby is . I don't understand why it is so precious or has the AB's got special conditions compared to the rest of the teams.

I tend to disagree. The PM of the country should be present and visible at such an occassion.
The PM got to do the trotie handshake on the podium, that's where he had a special spot.The changing rooms? What for?I find that rather intrusive no matter who is changing. It is a private room for the team and coach. If Graham Henry can't have his son join him on the field, Key shouldn't be in the changing rooms.

I hope it endures, but I don’t think that’s going to happen by itself. It’s great that it got people out and about and socializing. But it’s a bit sad for NZers that we need the RWC, and an All Blacks victory, to make it happen.
Oh ye of little faith;) We have Xmas on the way and a few get out for " Xmas in the park."
and then the Santa Parade. A few get out for that too.
In reality we get a multi cultural crowd for free stuff. The price dictates a lot of what happens in Auckland.
One thing I know is beneficial, is that, Len Brown is an inclusive Mayor and that by itself could help Auckland. I also felt our Mayor had a right to be amongst the Council Parade for the All Blacks yesterday. The Council also gave recognition to all the volunteers of who he walked amongst up Q St. He was in a 4wd for a while but he got out amongst the ordinary people who helped Auckland . -

Me? End of the evening I got bailed up by Susan’s cousin’s wife and spent about half an hour explaining BDSM.
So you're good for something then? ;)

Congratulations Geoff. You must feel proud to watch the outcome of the fruits of your Labour. Happy Labour Day. Nekminnit :)

that there would be some heartbreaking moment that would take it away.
I think that was a collective consciousness for a number of us, of which I believe got the AB's wanting to prove us wrong. Didn't we do well then.;)The fire works exploding over the Harbour, The sky tower dressed in black and white made for a nice finale and man, did the pub go mad. The music boomed "We are the Champions" A pleasure to watch others get so excited.
