Posts about me, my family and friends (yes I have some), Seymour the Wonder Cat and his not-so-trusty sidekick Norman the Newbie Cat and life in general, both online and offline

Heh: they went, they saw, they conquered

Well, the game was awesome. Naturally. It was also a little bit of a nail-biter, but that’s okay, we’ve still got the shield. Oh, and the All Blacks also had a successful outing so all-in-all it was a good Saturday.…

Go the Stags!

I’m heading in to work soon and part of what I’m doing today is uploading video to our site from the rugby. You know, THE RUGBY, the Ranfurly Shield defence against Otago. The game kicks off around 4.30 so keep…
