Rugby World Cup replay

[eidsvold]

Here in Brisbane Australia tonight..... intereting being on this side of the world this time rather than back in England... funny TV ads alluding to Johnny not playing ( sorry England fans....)

However - dismayed to see dh had dressed dd in her England rugby shirt to go out yesterday.... that is what happens when one lets them dress the kids

Would have loved to get English Dh tickets but sold out before we arrived....

rugby thugby

Parents told me NZ playing Argentina today... did not even know it was happing, the world cup.. it all football fever here eidsvold!

DH is in Brissy tonight Eidsvold (didn't know you had moved back already, is that why you haven't been around much?) ...
Of course, the rugby on NZ telly tonight is the All Blacks vs Argentina. We have got Sky but that is on the telly in the living room (or 'Lounge Room' as the kiwi's call it!) so I will have to keep running out in between posting ('puter is in Dining Room - or 'Dining Room' as the kiwi's call it )
Not holding out much hope for England today though ... their performance last week agains the All Blacks was just pathetic ... and Sir Clive took it all in very bad grace ... he is seen as a sore loser now ...

Poo ... hate rogue apostrophes ... 'kiwis' NOT 'kiwi's' ...

Dining Room
Living Room
Lounge (no room) just lounge - the one used when nice guests come around

Papillon ... I know you are a kiwi ...
BUT, the kiwis I know say Lounge Room ...
Just having a gentle tease ...

Oh yes, we have a Lounge... room... are you sure you have not missed the slight pause in speech, an intact of breath and then lounge uttered...

Lounge Room... Are they from the North Shore

Ha ha ... isn't the North Shore inhabited by South Africans?
No ... I live in dodgy South Auckland ...

South African North Shore - I have been away too long...! do they all have mullets, drive holdens or ride motorbikes and drink JD too?

my dad is off to Auckland next week, playing in the NZ billiards champs - my sporting hero!!

Papillon, you have been away too long ...
South African North Shore ...
All the Mullets are in West Auckland ... 'Westies' with their motorbikes ...
And in South Auckland everyone is called Bro ...

Then of course you have your Central and Eastern Suburbs ... the Grammar School Zone where everyone drives a 'Remuera Tractor' (4WD!!) and pronounces Maori names wrong ... on purpose.

True bro

Never lived in Auckland I admit... doh.. yeh bro Westies of course!! loved that movie... Savage Honeymoon.. you ever seen it?

Remuera buses I used to know them by!

No, never have seen that film! Saw Once Were Warriors last weekend though ...
One of the most draining films ever ...

upset me heaps too that film.. was supposed to have tea afterwards and was too sick to my stomach to eat it

off now... have a good evening!

See you papillon ...
Thanks for the chats ...

I have had my Sky in Uk and watched every AB game.. am now watching England v Oz.... yipppeee I am happy...
still wish I was in NZ though, the atmosphere and all...

yup we arrived back two weeks ago and have been settling in, unpacking, doing all that bureaucratic stuff one has to do as well as getting some antenatal care.......

papillion - dh has been trying to get scores etc at the crack of dawn for Euro 2004 unfortunately here in Aus it is on pay tv and so we have not seen much of it...

will not be putting on the england rugby jumper/jersey tomorrow.... must get her a little wallaby one am off to email friend who is mad english rugby fan and purchaser of above mentioned rugby gear....
