At the Basketball world cup.

Yep, 90 points to 81 and we were 12 behind at half time :D Go you good things go! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I'm not getting cocky, we got Argentina to beat and I definately can't see it being a pushover.

BTW: The reason the Aussies aren't around is cause we beat them before the world cup even started;)

YEEEEEAAAAHHH! That's right baby! *runs around doing the ancient kiwi-funkster dance*. BAM!

heh heh, always good to hear that the Tall Blacks are doing well.

ps: how are you anyways Downunda? I was in Christchurch this week just past. I should've thought to get in touch with ya [img]smile.gif[/img] Ah well, next time maybe :D

Not bad dude. Fully enjoying work, just can't wait to get my staff discount card so I can spend up large [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
Sucks working weekends but that's life *shrugs*
You're a student huh? What you studying man?

The Hierophant 08-30-2002 06:12 AM

Studying History and Classical Studies 3rd year. i'll go to Teacher's College if and when I graduate to teach High School. Should be good fun (he said with a nervous smile).

ANd yeah, working weekends does suck, but hey it's all money. I usually work weekends at a cafe/bakery place down here. Good cash to supplement the student loan [img]smile.gif[/img] I've got this weekend off though because of KUNG FU CAMP! It's wicked, I'm doing Chans martial arts, which is a nationwide organization and they're having camp in DUnedin this year! Right on, 30 odd hours of intensive training. I'm gonna be a goddam ninja! Right on!

Anyways, hope work keeps rolling along fine for ya. Where abouts do you work by the way? In retail I take it?

Smacks Downunda with a salted herring - the Boomers toured Europe recently and cleaned up in several tournaments - all the teams that we beat (like Spain and Italy and Russia) just couldn't believe that we weren't going to even be at the World Cup.

Sometimes you're the bug, and sometimes you're the windscreen ;)

To be fair, it was the first time NZ had beaten Aussie since 1970 something so that's my reason for rubbing it in ;)

@Hierophant: Been working at Smiths City for the last two months in the sports dept, great place to work [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Great feat dude, i didn't even know the Kiwis played basketball. :D

We seem to have the uncanny knack of playing really bad then having a tremendous comeback...

GO KIWIS GO KIWIS

Downunda 08-31-2002 02:37 AM

s'funny how the kiwis come out of the woodwork when we're winning :D Thought there were only three of us plus Azzy here [img]tongue.gif[/img]

On topic, today we beat Venezuala as well [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] but as I said in my previous post, Argentina will be the ones to beat and we come up against them tomoz so best of luck to them [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
On a sad note, the 'naki team lost to Waikato today. Anyone got a shoulder for me?
