i dont know what the big deal is ......drunk dickheads damaging property is a nightly occurance in Dunedin with 15000 students here

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Let them have their fun, they've earned it.

I'm with you on that go the mighty all blacks

[Coyote]

Were there Hookers at this bar or something?

[The Pastor]

$25 for a beer.

$300 for a GLASS of that expensive stuff

I wonder how much food it was.

[Swoop]

$300 for a glass of Cognac.

I note on this mornings radio "it was 10,000 pounds - so really that is ""only"" 10,000 DOLLARS".
Um... NO!!!!
$30,000 dollars.

No mention of the damage inside the Hilton yet though...

[The Pastor]

it kinda is only 10 000$ as you have to divide it all by 3 (roughly) to get in nz price,

eg a "25" doller beer is only 8 pound, and 8 nzd for a beer is (well imho a rip off) not uncommon.

generally, you get the same ammount of stuff, eg 1nzd doller buys a coffe and 1 pound buys a coffe.

but if you took your pound to nz you could get three coffes :d

[fireball]

the money could have been better spent

but in saying this if there was no incident we wouldnt even know about what they got up to would we?

[Tank]

at the end of the tournament (well for us at least), the NZRFU have spent $50 MILLION - 30k for a few beers is nothing.

And in the UK - thats not a hard bill to run up. I have spent many an evening trying.

[The Pastor]

esp when the meals would of been around 100 quid each. 40 people and thats 4000 right there.

[Finn]

Were there Hookers at this bar or something?

Yes. There was also flankers, props and wings.

[pritch]

There was also flankers, props and wings.

That's odd, there were no bloody wings in evidence in the quarter final.
I suppose it's better that they turn up for the piss-up than not at all.

Howlet spend the French match in the grandstand, at least now we know what Henry was saving him for.

Bloody losers!

$30,000 dollars....

Not quite Swoop, they are basically trying to say that spending 10,000 pounds sterling in a bar in London (yes, it was a bar in London, not France) will buy you about the same amount of booze as NZ$10,000 would buy you here in NZ.
For example, at a downtown bar here a bottle of Heineken will cost about NZ$6. I remember paying 5 pounds for the same in Docklands.
Of course there are always other places you CAN drink with different pricing (Str1.60 pints of beer at the Walkabout in Covent Garden!), but they DIDN'T.
