80 mins of the test pattern

Despite cleaning up the office tipping comp for the second year running, I'm still disappointed with the Super 14 final.

I'm going to blame Gerry Brownlee. He's from Canterbury and produces an inordinate amount of hot-air. One try, lots of penalties, endless Garryowen's, knock-ons, dropped passes... and we lost. Shite.

I will, however, be able to drown my sorrows in wine - the bounty for winning the tipping competition is 30 bottles and bragging rights for another year.
