Kaikoura, Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa (Kia Kaha, Aroha to all) Superthread

[Axver]

Woops, this isn't the cricket thread.

 

[coolian2]

It may as well be at times

 

[Axver]

Your face is a cricket thread.

YEAH.

 

[coolian2]

Your face is a cricket thread.

YEAH.

It doesn't get any balls on it, although there is grass on the


WAIT NO NOT GOING THERE AGAIN

 

[coolian2]

Ax, you may be amused that as per a brief discussion a few days ago, Massey are dropping 'paper' in favour of 'course'.

What did you do?

 

[Axver]

Wow my rants have influence?

Going to a birthday tonight where I'm worried everybody else will be vegan. There's a meat menu but will I be thrown out if I order from it? Fuck it, I like food that doesn't suck.

 

[coolian2]

As long as the plate goes with you, still secure, then get tossed

 

[coolian2]

Incidentally I saw some city was getting a vegan fried chicken restaurant. I didn't stop to see if it was a link to The Onion

 

[Axver]

It's probably already open in Brunswick.

 

[Axver]

God I really hope I'm not the only one who isn't vegan. That'd be like being the one atheist in Arkansas.

I've been in worse places.

 

[coolian2]

I was about to check if it was Ponsonby or Devonport

 

[coolian2]

Well 25 minutes to Sydney vs Melbourne City

 

[Axver]

Well that was a delicious dinner.

I didn't confirm but I am pretty sure I was the only non-vegan.

 

[coolian2]

Well you might as well elaborate

 

[Axver]

I'm not sure there's anything to elaborate on! Good company and I quietly tried not to bring attention to meat, preferring to draw attention to my bad personality instead.

 

[coolian2]

I was hungry and looking for ideas. Turns out six chicken wings, four corn cobs and a half chicken was a good idea

 

[Axver]

I'm still incredibly full from last night's dinner, actually.

Mmm that delicious meat.

But the WBBL has been a good excuse to crack open a cold one.

 

[coolian2]

I want to watch it but it's Wellington Phoenix time. I'll join once they're down 2-0.

 

[coolian2]

Could be as good a time as any for a dose of Oh Wellington

Is wonderful
Got the wind, the rain and the Phoenix
Oh Wellington is wonderful

 

[Axver]

I wish I was in Wellington, the weather's not so good
The wind, it cuts right through you and it rains more than it should
But I'd be there tomorrow if I only could
Oh I wish I was in Wellington

 

[Axver]

I want to watch it but it's Wellington Phoenix time. I'll join once they're down 2-0.

Give it ten minutes, fifteen maybe.

And we're in a break between games at the moment anyway. Next one starts in about twenty.

Well it took less than 90 seconds and they LEAD 1-0

 

[coolian2]

Central Coast have a player called Pain. Maybe the gentleman named Rose could numb it.

Things I am not making up.

 

[Axver]

These puns could be a real Pain.

 

[coolian2]

Commentator said Wellington have played 16 games outside of Wellington as home games, including Christchurch, Dunedin, Auckland, Palmerston North and Lower Hutt.

I said a loud WHAT THE FUCK at the last one. Then realised until recently I refused to acknowledge North Harbour Stadium as being part of Auckland until recently (as in when it became my local stadium!)

 

[Axver]

Hahaha. But also we'd often like to pretend the Hutt Valley has nothing to do with Wellington.

Good start to this WBBL game by Meg Lanning. Beautiful six down the park.

 

[coolian2]

Wow I haven't watched something broadcast from North Sydney Oval in years.

 

[Axver]

Damn that six onto the roof by Inglis was really something, what a shot.

 

[coolian2]

Well back to the Phoenix for now
