Plans for Saturday
-
Iv'e been warned by Mrs JC that if I'm going to get all tense and shouty she won't stay up to watch the game with me. Sad face. Also, so I don't disrupt her beauty sleep I'm expected to sleep in the spare room. So just me and a bottle of red then. I'm thinking a bottle of Tom that I've been saving. Or I've got some 2015 Coleraine, which even sounds Irish.
-
@mariner4life Oh and take the necessary precautions as well. Like have some in one fridge , some in another, some in the back up fridge, some in the reserve backup fridge. Always wise to have some in a cellar, safe room, or nuclear shelter (preferably all of them).
Oh, and some that the wife can't find.
-
Miss TA has her 12th Birthday party at the local Strike Bowling 6PM.
So my Saturday evening from there through to 9-9:30PM will be death stares at the male classmates she has invited along, while looking at my phone occasionally and saying "fuck it" or "fuck yes".
I should wander in just in time to see Ireland's response to the
racist marketing agendahaka, and see how long they can hang with thedirty cheating filthAll Blacks. -
Sleep in, as will be in hotel bed in another city..get up, have a couple of panadol as the head likely to be splitting. Find a local cafe to replace caffeine. Find a pub by lunch to take the edge off.
Make an excuse as to why I have to go to the TAB before being dragged to a friends wedding by my wife. Try watch a few races beforehand
No one at the wedding is even likely to have an interest unless I tell them, the typhoon means they need to get their 4wd's out to get there, or fishing has just got a whole lot more exciting.
Will have to drown my sorrows listening to Cold Chisel and only drinking option probably VB, or some sweet sparkling.. I feel like a bogan already... On the off chance I get back to civilisation in time, head to the comfort of the hotel room, crack a bottle of red and watch the feed on the laptop.
...I havent asked the wife, what she is doing yet lol
-
I was going to do a quiet one at home but I happened to be at a Irish bar midweek which was all decked out for the WC so I've now booked a table there. Risky move for sure if results don't go my way (or even if they do...), I'll be the only kiwi rest of the group being an international assortment of friends, not really rugby fans but coming along for a gander anyway.
-
My plans are head off at 1:30 to get to McLean Park by 2pm for the Tui's semi-final, before the 4:30 Magpies demolition of Otago.
While I am out, the parents in law and sister in law turn up from Auckland. I hit the local chippie on the way back to grab dinner, then settle down to watch the world cup games with some beers and snacks.
Did I mention that the inlaws are Irish, Hmmmm...
-
@Snowy I have a main fridge. A 2nd fridge. A beer fridge on the patio.
And a wine fridge.
I think I'm good
Amateurs
I have fridge and beer fridge, wine fridge, 2,000 bottle wine cellar, (sadly down to <500) and my own Williams Warne micro brewery with 4 kegs ready in case of "emergencies".

I have 2x fridges, but I have no wine fridge and my cellar only holds about 200 bottles - I feel so ashamed, must remedy this somehow!!!

@Stockcar86 A little bit worse than your own family (not yours of course) being Irish I suppose!!!!
-
I downsized because I realised I didn't have enough time left to drink all the wine I had accumulated and after pouring several cases of very expensive wine down the sink decided to sell a lot off before it became totally unpalatable.
I live alone so I don't crack open a bottle to drink on my own - the whole wine exercise has been a bit of a folly TBH

I've kegged my latest beer so have two beers on tap in the beer fridge for Saturday night. Can't wait.

was thinking about this before. I have achieved a bit of stuff in my life (y'know, getting married, kids, house, professional, etc), but the day I had beer on tap in my house was when I finally felt like I'd arrived.
Life is awesome sometimes.

If so, where is your place because my wife will leave if she has to watch the match with me.
I need somewhere to go that doesn't have anyone Irish that I will make clothing or a lampshade out of if we lose, possibly a stew and potatoes with the leftovers.
So address please (you must have backup refrigeration though).

Two backup fridges, plus a neighbour with beer on tap. We're resilient here fella
