    @nzzp Is it chilled?

    nah, I just have a warm keg of cats piss sitting in the lounge next to a framed picture of a Manly jersey.

    FFS, man. No crimes against humanity beer here

    As I am checking, do you have a back up fridge for said keg?

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

    That's what I like - redundancy. Always have a plan.

    That address again?

    Dont give him your address

      Thank goodness for the neighbour as back up.
      I know @Snowy. If he comes over you're going to need that neighbour's supply too.

        I'll start the day with a morning gym session, mainly to burn-off some excess nerves.

        The first semi starts fairly early here, 11.15am, so I will wait until half time of that match before having my first beer. (I've got a case of Stellas - ugh - on hand, but am thinking about getting something Japanese - Kirin or Sapporo, probably - or maybe even tempt fate with some Guiness.)

        I'll be watching the main event by myself. Wife is in the UK and the Kiwi mates I usually watch with aren't around (one's gone back to NZ and the other is going on a yoga retreat of all bloody things). Plus, I get far to sweary too watch in public. Similarly, to the extent that we lose and I need an immediate post-mortem on the Fern, this is better done from home than at an Irish bar with all my pissed up, jovial Irish mates.

          OK, I'm going .

          The others are supporting Ireland, so I'm taking a note, to explain my bad behaviour, in the case that the Irish win.

          Any ferners going to be there, I'll be out at Chofu to watch the earlier game if anyone wants a beer.

            @gt12 I'll be there at the AB game too. I also will be at Chofu watching the Aussie vs England game I think and will be with a good friend who is Irish (but we will be sitting with a kiwi who got us the tickets). Let me know how to identify you and I'll look around.
            Staying in Shinjuku that night, then going to the Japan vs South Africa game the next day. Will be cheering on the Cherry Blossoms but only have an ABs shirt. I heard all the Japanese shirts have been sold out.
            Epic weekend coming up!

              No, i don't mean how Shag plans to deal with a rush defense and endless recycling, i mean important stuff.

              Where are you watching? What's the plan for a ripping saturday of rugby?

              It's a cracking day, with the Everest rolling in to the Caulfield Cup (or the other way around) then in to Aus v England and then us. That's me sorted from mid-afternoon, and the type of day i designed my patio around.

              In all honesty i am not even sure i will invite anyone around, i'll sit on the couch outside, in front of the TV, start cracking beers from about 1pm. Curse my inability to find a winner. Switch to the rugby after the big races. Steak on teh BBQ between games, feeling loose and slightly toasted by our game.

              Bliss.

                      I will be watching. Both losses against Ireland are games I couldn't watch and woke up to see the score.

                          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.

                                      @No-Quarter said in Plans for Saturday:

                                      Haven't really done shit today really except buy plenty of beer. Bring on tonight!!!

                                      I'm going out in sympathy with @voodoo and starting to drink now. I think that he said it was only 9 hours until kick off. Fuck.

                                        Errands run. In front of the racing. Will watch TV from the pool. Drinking beer.

                                        Yay life.

                                          Working until about 4pm to catch up on shit I should have done months ago. Wash the car on the way home. Drive past Surfers for a perve. Buy some good NZ beer and then watch a week's worth of missed Home and Away eps until I fall asleep on the couch....
