For all those going to the Wellington Sevens, 8 of us are going Retro Ricki this year so that the Fever has representation at the Yellow Stadium.

If your group are short on idea's your more than welcome to join us in your Retro Ricki and come and sing a "Where's the Phoenix gone" chant or two during the sevens carnage.

Cheers

Fitz

Some big piss up that the rugger types go to.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Perhaps I could my stepdad to get a couple of scalpers tickets cause he promised 4 years ago that If I did well in "exams" he'd give me a trip to the sevens. He hasn't yet. Bastard.

Not really, I've learned that there's more to life then egg chasing. Unless I'm refereeing. (sp)

Correct spelling of refereeing.  Who says the youth of today are stupid?
 
Incidentally, egg chasing is not part of a healthy lifestyle.

Hey!, the season has finished. Off season activities don't compete with Phoenix or Fever commitments.

Besides, its tough sitting in front of the nurses and behind the French maids...

I also think the weekend can be better used by training for the upcoming season rather than going to an event that has only ephemeral value.

But then again, that's just me....

how did the whole bullsh*t tradition of dressing up at the 7s start?
 
"Hey, that new 7s is on at the stadium this weekend.  want to go along"
"um, ok...why don't we go dressed as mince pies?"
 
w**kers!

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Hmmm. 30,000 people who dress up, drink, dance and generally act like knobs who bag out football fans for doing the same?
 
Sounds like a great way to spend two days...

Except that we don't dress up (retro Rickys/Phoenix shirts hardly fall in this category), don't dance (exepmting the legendary D-I-S-C-O chant) and generally don't act like knobs (a few dishonourable exemptions here also).

So I guess it's only drinking that's in common...el grapadura2008-01-22 20:40:50

The sevens is fun and I'm not a rugby fan.

Hope you guys have as much fun sitting at home whining about it.

C.Diddy & Frankie Mac, give yourselves an upper cut

I bet neither of you have never been to the 7s, its a cracking good weekend of partying.

So what do you do in the off season, stay home locked to your computers? I bet you also think that cup day sucks (and thats the Wellington Cup) barts2008-01-22 14:51:25

The sevens is the closest the egg chasers get to enjoyment and letting their hair down, like what us footy fans do.
 
I'll be there wiv my Millwall FA Cup final flag, as usual, meeting and greeting all comers.
 
Oh and getting wrecked

Lets not to get to serious about this lads!

If your not keen on the sevens, thats ok, we'll do our best to have a good time without you!

Your right though, there are always a few t**sers who try and ruin it for the rest, but we've had similar problems ourselves in the Fever Zone so don't write off the whole event because of a few bad eggs.

If you haven't been, I would recommend you go along at least once, especially if your single

As they say at the Sevens, if you get board you can always watch the rugby *cough* yeah right

the sevens is a magic weekend. if you enjoy rugby or not. frankies and a few others idea of supporting sport and of ways to have fun seem pretty narrow minded to me. i love the atmosphere and singing of the fever zone but i also love the atmosphere at sevens and equally enjoy sitting and watching a quality super14 game at the caketin. theres more than one way to skin a cat guys

Well, since I don't need women to be trashed to sleep with me, guess I'll be skipping the 7s then.

Frankie's 'world view' makes perfect sense to me (well on this point at least )

I just hate the whole dressing up concept - it is premeditated 'wackiness', which I see as the lowest of the low.

without getting into a deep psychological discussion around the psyche of new zealanders... ahh nah ill say my bit.
like it or not (and i dont) new zealanders are by nature a very reserved guarded people, there are exceptions of course and many of those exceptions hang around this joint, thus the dressing up removes them of some kind of emotional and mental barrier that says hell i can sing and dance and be a little bit mental cos im dressed up as someone else (alcohol helps i guess but thats another example of our people). thats why i think the dressing up goes hand in hand with the 7s, people like to let loose and they feel more comfortable about doing it while dressed up.
like it or not and frankie you obviously i dont thats the way we are (i think)

we all know you keep a book of gags in your pocket - and retreat to the loos every half hour to memorise a few - so you can bring them out 'spontaneously'. You used to read your podcast off a script for gods sake.
