All Blacks!!!!!!!!!!!!

My great aunt wants me to go round there and watch the All Blacks play England ... she tells me it starts at 4.30am this morning. So I set the alarm for 4am. Sure enough it goes off ... I awake and get dressed in the dark ... goodness knows why! I stumble to the toilet and do all that sort of thing, then get in the ute and drive round to watch the rugby.
Great Aunt has all the lights on - totally unnecessary but she is 87 or whatever she is ... she greets me at the door with "cant get the rugby on the tv" ... I say (half asleep still) ... are you on channel 10 ... I check - she is! I look in the paper and see that the rugby is on at 4.30am Monday morning. However, she shows me the Sky Mag which says it is on 4.30am Sunday morning.
She then starts apologising ... which got on my nerves ... but I was calm and said that it was not her fault ... she has read what she has read ... and its not her fault. I say "have a good Sunday, she wants me to stay for breakfast, but I decline! Its 4.30am ... she has her pleading voice on "will you come and watch the rugby with me Monday morning" ... I hesitate as I have to start work at 1pm ... but say yes anyway! Even though I will be in Rotorua most of the day today visiting a sick friend.

dumbteedoo!

I repeated the process this morning. Got home from Rotorua about 7pm, had some dinner then went to bed. When the alarm went off this morning I thought ... nah its a mistake I'm not working until 1pm. Then realised All Blacks. So ... I trundled around there and watched - to be quite honest it was boring. Much prefer close helter skelter games ... with the All Blacks winning OF COURSE!
Better get to work!
