1 November 1999

A slight reprise - 01/11/99

Well, here we are, nearly an hour after the end of the game. The Adidas All Black web site seems a little outdated now. Radio Sport is devoting the day to discuss the loss, can't wait to miss that.
Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-0, Scholes, Cole, and Keane scoring. Sunderland are beating Watford 4-0 as I write this. I think I have ceased to be interested in rugby.
Shipley and Clark launched their campaigns yesterday. Yawn.
A woman is held by police after a 10 yo boy was set on fire. Foster parent using stricter punishment than one normally expects.
Nobody died at Piha over the weekend.
Feel really sorry for Gavin Thompson, who is over in England for the World Cup. Excellent reason why I wouldn't spend the money on that sort of thing. Have to ask myself why I didn't use my strategy of betting against the ABs. That way, if they lose, I get some money to spend to cheer me up. France was paying $10 for the win. Dork. New Year's resolution number 1, bet against the team I support in important games. I had an idea for a travel package promotion, increase the price and put hte extra money on betting for the the other team, tell the customer they get their money back if their team loses.
I had been saying for a while that I was going off rugby, and I felt too much importance was placed on the World Cup. Now I think that is definitely true, but I wish I was more sure of myself.
I hear now the All Blacks have never conceded 43 points in an international, doesn't sound right to me.
Focus is now going to swing to the America's Cup, I am sure.
