I Travel 13,000 Miles To Have The Exact Same Conversation That I Could Have In The Albany.*

"...and if you take this tablet every morning, you will be irresistable to women, and have the ability to shoot lasers from your eyes. Any questions"

"No, mate, that about covers everything. Are you Irish?"

"No, Welsh"

"Ahh, Barry John..."

Which set up a ten minute conversation about the 1971 Lions, Gareth Edwards, Andy Bastard Haden, the shambles of the 2005 Lions tour, how much the modern tri-nations sucks, how much playing New Zealand every year sucks, how much better old-fashioned tours were, and just how damn fine Christian Cullen was.

Which leads me to the conclusion that Kiwis are Just Like Us, except we speak funny.

*Except we would be talking about Welsh rugby in The Albany. And getting pissed.
