Surprise call up by coach after record loss to the Springboks.

A former St. Patrick's College wing, P. J. McDonald, has been called up by the All Blacks coach after a very heavy loss to the Springboks in Wellington yesterday evening.

Scott Robertson was asked to explain his decision.

"Okay, he's not the youngest wing around but I did read a post on his blog where he was very successful at St. Patrick's College. He received quite a few mentions in a post titled, "SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND." Look at this list he gets a mention in! Read the list and you'll see that he is the only guy who gets three mentions. Picking him was not rocket science."

"Okay, P. J. is a little older than we'd prefer but he obviously has the goods and we're getting desperate."

I'm thinking of going to an open mic concert this evening. It's in Newtown, so I'll have to be careful to stay out of the bus lanes. I'm planning to play Manha De Carnival and The Orange Blossom Special. I'll have Nature Boy up my sleeve, just in case another tune is needed. Obviously, I'll be running them through quite a bit today. Well, there's nothing new there. 

[A little later Richard (of RBB) said...] Actually, Shelley's feeling a little bit off colour so we'll give the open mic night a miss. I'll probably do some recording instead.

No big deal.

It seems that Robert is in Tokeroa (I think he means Tokoroa). I guess he'll go to church there this morning. I hope they have a church shop.

It's good to see that he is eating healthy food.

I had a banana toasted sandwich for breakfast, along with a coffee.

Oops, hang on, I need the bathroom!

I'm back. Back and a little lighter.

I think it's the coffee. I need something in my tummy so that I can take my pills. I'm assuming that there is still something left in my tummy. Though, I know it's not all there. At least I didn't drop my phone in the bath.

I guess that'll do for this morning. Hey, good to see that the women's rugby team won their match. I think I'll just follow them now. Though, I don't like their chances against England, if that's the final match up.

Don't get hung up on sin. Just go and do some practice. Hey, and I certainly won't be going to mass.

Sii gentile.
