<p>what more would you have wanted? For them to fly Taylor Swift down to MC it instead of Sumo? $500k worth of fireworks during the day? Jetpacks so Sir Richie could fly over everybody whilst holding the cup?</p>

<p>A sound system that worked properly (when Richie was speaking)? Â :)</p>

<p>A marching band?  A double decker bus? Some pomp and ceremony?</p>

<p>It looked a bit 1960s to me, "Here boys, climb on the back of me ute and we'll drive down the road to the local war memorial hall. We'll get the Chairman of the District Council to make a bit of a speech and give the captain a bottle of Johnnie Walker in a paper bag". Nobody dress up. Ladies a plate, please.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I reckon we could do something nearly as good here in rural Nelson! Â

<p>Are we giving Auckland shit for not organising a parade? Didn't we give them shit for organising one in the past?</p>

<p>They're Aucklanders - they can't do anything right! Â :)</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>To be fair, I wasn't there - maybe there were highlights that I didn't see. But, from what I did see, if I were an Auckland ratepayer I wouldn't have been overly concerned that the budget had been blown. </p> -
2011 in Wellington I'd have no idea if they were in utes (probably) or on unicorns (possibly) because there were 150,000 people blocking the view of anything below shoulder height.
-
<p>Aren't the utes supplied by a sponsor?</p>

<p>a fucking marching band? if anything would give the event a 1960s feel (probably more like 1930s) it'd be a marching band. The sound system seemed to work fine during the speeches. Only time I remember it cutting out was during the karakia/powhiri when the ABs were on the other side of the park. </p> -

<p>au contraire my bitter little New South Welshman, i would heartily applaud the fact that the current Australian team has finally managed to emerge from the muck and have evolved in to something resembling a modern sports team. </p>

Dead right! Internet allows all crazies who would have kept their craziiness in their bedroom at their Mum's house to themselves, to come out and appear like they are the voice of the majority! -
