Nix vs RADelaide - Back @ the Backbencher

So Adelaide come to Welly for the first time in a long, long time and we welcome the Backbencher back.

To celebrate having Boycies company again we're going to encourage you lucky, lucky bastards to get in early.

Boycie will have the new all singing/all dancing menu flying as well as ramping up the traditional pre-game BBQ out on Kate Shepperd Place.  To lubricate those noms we're doing a little Fever promotion in conjunction with the Bencher and the brewery.  The pay per hour system means you can get in for a $2 pint of Speights, Macs Gold or Macs Isaacs Cider if you're in before 2pm.  The price goes up $1 each hour until kick-off time - either way it means value driniking with your mates as you step in and check out the Bencher's new look.

Also look for a little something special (weather dependent) outside the Bencher to remind people it's our house.

Hopefully the Phoenix turn up this week but if they don't you're a chance of not remembering it.

Get in to the Bencher early.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Depends on the whanau but I'm aiming for 12ish.  I <3 Nix will be there then as well. Smithy, EG and co will be a little later I imagine.  Hilton will probably delay Greene and definitely delay 2ndBest (he has a 14:00 game - bahahahahahahaha).

How about "Stand Up" for the banner this weekend? Bit of a dual message.

Huge Phoenix scarf hanging from the Backbencher??

New Backbencher. $2 pints. One off Adidas kit to be worn. Why would anyone not be going to this game. See you all there.

Why would we go to the game?  Last time I looked at the table, we weren't even on it.


If this was a game after school I would be taking the match ball and going home to play computer games.

I think it would be better if you practiced your drumming.

I like it, but I doubt that many people would get the Jeronimo reference.

* depends on my Saturday night activity.

As usual I will aim to be there for noon.  If I'm by myself (as is the norm), come say HI!

Knowing you I doubt said visitors are as unsuspecting as you say.... Meant to be hitting a birthday dinner but not sure I can deal with the awkward/uncomfortable/bitchy environment.  Are you allowed out?

Offer to take Jnr News to the game on Sunday.  He might agree given we're back at the Bencher so it's less to walk from the station ;)
P.s - 20 minute city FTW

 Yeah.  That's under Drupal so... niggly.

I just looked at it, it looks easy enough to make an event. Does everything go horribly wrong once you click Post?

Any time. Although it turns out I'm kind of shit at it, so apologies in advance.
