Opening Ceremonies

[_Ed_]

Looks like a really good crowd in Christchurch, but I can't say I enjoyed the bagpipes and Irish dancing.

 

[_Ed_]

Now a strange percussive cover of Sandstorm. I don't even...

 

[_Ed_]

Crikey, Geoff Allott's packed on a few pounds.

Crikey, Geoff Allott's packed on a few pounds.

You're being too generous to him.

 

[_Ed_]

Not my cup of tea, but Sol3 Mio are quality.

Yeah really like their shows.

What on earth happened to Hatley Westenra. Short(ish) red hair, short skirt, poor song?

 

[Howsie]

Pedo alert!!!

 

[Howsie]

Oh goody a John Key sighting, that will get the crowd going.....

 

[ajdude]

**** this is horrid. is there one in Australia?

 

[Howsie]

Key obvs been drinking all afternoon

 

[_Ed_]

Oh goody a John Key sighting, that will get the crowd going.....

For some reason I let myself hope the Cup would be mostly Key-free. Sigh. But I guess wherever the great Richie McCaw goes, ol' John will follow.

I am at least heartened by the fact that there was booing.

 

[Howsie]

Lookout the next chart toppers are in the house.

 

[Howsie]

alright nothing to see here, let's cut to Melbourne.

 

[Howsie]

Earth Child?

 

[Howsie]

ICC cup is yet to be won people

 

[_Ed_]

Still getting over Dave Richardson's extraordinary claim that one of the ICC's attributes is inclusion. Amazing.

 

[SuperMurali]

maybe inclusion has another meaning which is unknown to the rest of the world?

 

[Bahnz]

Well, at least it beat stilt-walkers and a two man brass band.

 

[nevermind]

What on earth

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That was an embarrassment. Is there anything that John Key won't open? Perhaps I'm being unfair - I doubt he'd open a conference on Environmental Protection.
