Dudes. Dudes. What about New Order's tune for the 1990 World Cup, "World In Motion"? It's magnificient because it combines house, pop, sports-rap and football chants.
Not to mention John Barnes...

Its funny with the English, part of me always wants them to do well, but part of me delights when they bungle it all up and go out on penalties. And I also remember how goddamn terrible the English are when they win something.
My earliest memories are of Italia 1990 which was a great tournament, ruined (again) by a dour final with the worst dive, possibly, of all time...
The last world cup final I almost gave up on football. But you kow what? I am back for more

"I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object."

I avoided Monty Python for years when all I'd heard was geeks saying stuff like "He's not the messiah!!! He's a very naughty boy!!!! lolz".
"Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?
Fuck off! We're the People's Front of Judea" -
I can't argue with that one, I loved that film
Loved it, I expected it to be an american rip off of Shaun of the Dead, which it kinda was, but still ridiculously good.

Im all for the Cuba Street carnival, but lets look at this. The rugby world cup will probably never be here again.
The Cuba Street carnival is on every two years... Its not a matter of one vs the other, but the Cuba street carnival will run again. The rugby world cup won't.

There are two types of people in college: Jocks and Nerds. As a jock, it is my job to give the nerds a hard time....

He's got something there. When the only country in the OECD with a lower tax burden than NZ is Mexico, and still we're being told that we must cut taxes, it points to some interesting absence of lateral thinking on the part of our politicians. If taxes are what holds an economy back, we should be going absolutely gang-busters. Instead we're trailing the OECD on most of their other measures of economic performance. Maybe Key has realised that the only OECD ranking at which we have any shot of being number one is the lowest tax burden, and he's acting accordingly?
Exactly. I mean are people in Australia going to think, ohhh I can come back to New Zealand because I get a small tax cut, and foresake the extra BEFORE tax pay, better working conditions, superannuation, penal rates etc etc etc????
