Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
As Happy indicated I had no data services in NZ, thuis no updates online. I actually joked before I left that NZ did not have a mobile network. In fact at some point while we were over there they did actually lose the entire network for a few days. Calls came in and sms out but calls were out were no existant. Apparently they bought a cheap network which has not been working to well, they even had reported deaths as the 111 (our 000) calls were not getting through!!

It may look like 2 or 3 really little islands but Google Map is very deceptive. Wellington is a f..kn long way for me to go for a beer. Bout the same as Perth to Albany with a boat trip in between (like going via Rotto).Originally Posted by Thequeerone
If JM gives Josh a run or a bench seat I'll catch the crew in Queenstown for the Highlanders game. If the big money boys don't earn their keep a little better than last night it would seem I'll be a starter for that game.
Certainly did, just three of us and the team bus driver in the stand. JM and Sharpie had a quick chat before, then each and ever player signed Bert as they left the ground. Matty H hung about for a chat to see how many pubs had been nacomplished to date and I left a small TWF for the driver and the Hurricanes official that allowed us in (may have been the CEO as he was chatting all run with Vern and JM)

Pub No.13 sounds familiar
Did you have a word with someone about the captains run TIF, or just show up?
It was all arranged by RugbyWA before we left, but was still at Hurricanes approval. If you guys are planning on doing it for the Reds, I will make arrangements for you, just let me know. I would expect it to be on the Saturday mid morning

Don't want to speak out of turn for the group- but I'm thinking since you've got the connections, we'd sure appreciate any 'arrangements' you can makeIt was all arranged by RugbyWA before we left, but was still at Hurricanes approval.

I don't know about the rest of the tourists, but that seems to me the perfect way to kick off the trip...
I'm with Swee and Andy - sounds like a great plan TiF, and any other info you can gather as to where the team are staying, so we can stalk them all weekend!
Laugh and the world laughs with you.......
......cry and you'll weaken your beer
