Post of the year:
Had this really scary nightmare - like I guess most nightmare's are - but like, this one was extra scary. We had to play at this AFL football stadium somewhere in the Wellington central railway yards - weather was appalling - was so hot you could hardly breath. Temperatures racing into the early 20's - and even more alarming, there was no wind at all. Don't know why we were playing there - think the Petone Football Stadium was closed for terrace extensions due to the membership demands after last seasons championship win, or something like that.
Anyway - this Wellington Central railway yards stadium nightmare gets worse. Desperate for beer in the searing 21 degree heat - all I could buy inside the stadium was Tui - like a little plastic bottle of Tui for almost 10 bucks. Chips were a dollar each - and the other multiple food choice option was a pie wrapped in plastic, a sure sign of meat absence, and expiry date questionability. It gets worse - when I found my seat, it turns out we were playing Manchester City. WTF. I tried to wake myself up - you know what it's like when you realise its probably just a nightmare, but you can't snap yourself out of it. We were wearing the Waikato Chiefs strip and City had some white with red stripe kit going on, which apparently one of their historical feeder clubs used to wear. Everytime I took a Tui bathroom break - City scored - like they scored from everywhere - ended up about 5-nil or something. Bit vague about that. Woke up sweating so much. Phew - it's good to be awake again.
