It really just comes down to Public Address Rule One: Don't be a dick.
Oh great, I've been reading this site for over a damned decade and now you finally tell us what Rule No One is! :) #attemptstodeleteallpreviousposts

Hard News: The Sound of Music, in reply to Megan Wegan,
I HATE it. The game I went to, I got more and more annoyed with it, and the annoying Olé ! that goes along with it.
I don't understand what relevance it has to rugby.
Didn't it kick off from the South of France RWC games? They usually have a full band at games there including the trumpeter.

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to JackElder,
There's no mistaking pronunciation here:
Fucks off to Benfica
Eurosport.com, 2001Journeyman Brazilian defender Argelico Fucks earned legendary journalistic status with his controversial move to Benfica in 2001 having left their sworn rivals Porto only a year earlier.
Fucks spiced things up a bit by declaring Porto were now his enemy. Known as Argel during his playing career Fucks was a favourite of headline writers who created more gems when he returned to Brazil. Go on think...
And I have to include this real headline from Soccernet, just because...
Young Boys Wankdorf Erection Relief
Soccernet, 2005Swiss side Young Boys of Bern moved into their new stadium to much acclaim which inspired some double entendre word play from the team at Soccernet.
It wasn't the first time they'd wheeled out the line as two years earlier when Young Boys were refused temporary setting at their old Neufield venue they led with, 'Young Boys' Wankdorf Erection Woe.'
Yes, Young Boys play at the Wankdorf Stadium *coughs*, what are you gonna do..

I like the fact that Danielle was right on the money in that thread 4 years ago and Russell was only beaten by Chris Rattue in his wrongness. :)
I also like the fact I was apparently too terrified to even venture a thought on the matter. Still wakes me up at night...

Hard News: Those were different times ..., in reply to Simon Grigg,
Worth a fortune if you do. I have one too which I bought from a 10c sale bin at Peaches Records on the corner of Queen and Victoria months later.
I must check it out. I bought the cheap local release when it came out but it got buggered over several years. Then I found a mint copy in a 2nd hand shop that was a different imprint and slightly different cover shading.

The labels in NZ had however issued New York Dolls years before and the likes of Television, The Ramones, Patti Smith and Richard Hell
Even in the early 1980s it seemed like you couldn't go to a party in NZ without hearing Patti's Horses album at some point in the evening.
