    <p>im on my deck, listening to old school, on IPA 6 and about to tuck into some BBQ. All delayed because of trick or treating duties but its actually worked in my favour. HAd I started earlier I'd be coma'd now.</p>

    <p>I've been drinking at the Halloween Street party here in Ye Olde Sydney Town and successfully trying to forget about the biggest rugby game on the planet. My wife's slinky sorceress costume is worth a mention there.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Its just after 11 here - game starts in 4 hours. I don't think I'm going to make it, but know my body clock with slap me in the head around 4AM and tell me to get up. </p>

    <p>Yeah bro, <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>2am kick off for QLD</strong></span>. Midnight kick off for WA</p>

    <p>It's some primeval fear of missing the start or something, I know, but I have checked the kick off time about three different ways probably four times today. ... actual kick off time? <em>Check.</em> Time zone conversion? <em>Check.</em> Eastern Daylight time to QLD time? <em>Check.</em> Check the additions and subtractions. Do it in reverse - does the mathematics line up? <em>Check.</em></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It is quite sad that a mere game can make a grown man develop such a phobia! :idiot2: </p>

    <p>Nervous as hell here. Spent the past week in a panic work emergency. Missed the semi-live (watched on replay) - reckon I might have had a stroke. Can't imagine what the Final is going to do to me. C'mon All Blacks!!!</p>

    <p>I'm going to head to Trafalgar Square very shortly.  Watched the quarter in the Clapham Grand, and the semi in the Temple Walkabout.  It's going to be mental. </p>

    <p>Had to crash at around 7pm as nervousness set in and body wasn't handling the strain well. Woke up at 2am, nervous as fuck, then the nerves have died away for the most part. Going to watch online. Thank gawd for Prozac.</p>

    The lone vigil in the lounge has begun. Good luck to the boys and to all of us. I hope everyone enjoys the game, and to the kiwis here's to coming out on top!

    <p>Random bump (I was back looking for something else which I couldn't find) but I never shared my final plans. The plan was to play beer pong until midnight, go to bed about 1am and get up in time for the rugby. Would have kept going through but I had to work on Sunday afternoon.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In my drunken haze I didn't set the alarm properly, and woke up around 7.15am - not long after the presentations . . . </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I was the laughing stock of my friends on Facebook. :(</p>

    <p>Rage, flying you kite over here is slang for willising (childish giggle)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The female equivalent is dropping a line and fishing (childish guffaw)</p>
