I love Fiji Bitter
Not only that, it really feels like being upside down too, certainly this new year's morning.
Wonder what those kangaroos were smoking, they were jumping pretty high.
Oh, and happy new year, you cunts!
Dalts is doing what he can for himself. Not money, but history books. He is having to whore it out because he wants to commercialise it, all while making the most expensive vehicle possible.
As for the audience, please keep up. It was the most watched sporting event ever, in the entire universe. With all the cameras, plus the behind the scenes production coming, there is no need to be at the event.
And yes, we are at the arse end of the world. Still, considering the pathetic cluster fuck your own country has become, pleased to be here.

I really don't think they're holding out for more NZ cash this time. They made it clear to the government offer that they accepted it was the best they could do, but respectfully declined it due to being about $100m short. Both sides went to quite an effort to part ways without a bad word said.random. said:
After the successful defence, ETNZ were quick to turn down the suggestion of a victory parade. They new then that government money was unlikely to be significant, and an expensive parade would look in poor taste down the track.

True! Although it was a more innocent time back in March. We thought we were above the world.random. said:

I had a chat at Christmas with one of the fraud investigators for the $3m lost by ETNZ (when they were fooled by the old account no. switcheroo trick). Apparently the majority of that money has since been recovered and returned. I don’t remember hearing that before but perhaps I missed it.
No wonder. They found out they had ripped off Don Dalton and sent it back with an apology...

I took it as more of a sign that there is fuck all going on in Auckland with the AC and the sooner all the teams clear out the better.
Then again, it could also mean that AM is all packed up and there is fuck all going on in Auckland with the AC and the sooner all the teams clear out the better.

So do you reckon B&T are definitely gone? Or waiting for a venue announcement like rest of us?
My guess, they don't want to be tarred as part of the team taking the event out of NZ and are gone.
Seems like if they want, they can stay in NZ and not have to worry about living abroad. They have done so in the past, though. I wanted OR to hold their second defense in SF, but I wasn't outraged about it.

You may be right, indeed to some extent I hope you are. But if so, why haven't they signed?
