History repeats eh,look on the bright side boys Canterbury gets a challange so the shield will return to its rightful home.

Otago supporters remind me of English rugby supporters in that during the long periods between winning anything they have never learnt to simply shuddup and concentrate on the next game rather than go nuts over yesterdays win.

Yep they will Jimmy,no doubt it will go something like "scientists have no doubt that for 2 hours in the next decade it will stop raining in Dunedin".Or "with global warming scientists are hopeful that there will indeed come a day that the ice pack in Dunedin harbour will melt".

They wouldn't anyway. Every man and his dog managed to get a photo with it. And did you read that completely over the top front page yesterday with the open letter from the proudest Dad in the country? I had to try hard not to vomit on it.

Went to Tony Browns Place (Stadium) yesterday. 20 000 crowd. Otago bit unlucky but was pleased to be there. Hope I don't have to wait another 56 yrs to 'party' again.
