@Mokey although 'boomfa' has been used for many years...or my dad should have trademarked it when I was a teenager!
@MN5 I think the main issues people have with him is his over excited telling of what was right or wrong about a ref call, when in fact it was usually the opposite.
He is good to listen to on RS when they have him though

@jegga People try and copyright words all the time. Usually they get shut down and told to piss off, but occasionally some get through.
I would be interested to see how 'Boomfa' beer sold. Personally I think it would be entirely reliant on taste/price, because the word is not nearly as cool as he clearly thinks it is.

@taniwharugby Haha, there you go then. Prior usage.

A couple that spring to mind are “ let’s get ready to rumble “ and the article mentions Paris Hilton doing the same with “that’s hot”.
I don’t think his are unique enough to him though . -

Never underestimate a shit beer with a foolproof marketing campaign aimed at the lowest common denominator.

I thought you liked Leigh Hart?
The very first name which popped into my head when reading that was "Wakachangi" - and I had to double-check it was you that'd written it, as it seemed a laser-focused jab at that shit beer and shit ... "comedian"(?). -

My recycling bin suggests my son and I find it more than quite tolerable.
Regardless of good or bad Boomfa tastes I will hold drinkers of it in the same amount of contempt I hold men who watch married at first sight .

@canefan gotta say, when I was living in the UK and had been drinking Fosters, Stella, XXXX and whatever other tap beers they made there for a year, when I played for London Kiwis and they had £1 stubbies of Export Gold, I thought it was the best tasting beer ever...
I am slowly finding alot of the Craft beers are starting to go too far and I'm not really enjoying the taste, particularly when you are paying a shit load more.
Beers like Export (Wakachangi, Sol, Corona et al) have thier place!

Totally agree. I like a dirty Speights, Lion Red or Corona as much as a nice can of Garage Project, I'm no beer snob!

Agree and disagree with this.
Too much Craft beer wank is not a good thing but a brilliant IPA or APA from Panhead or Lakeman definitely has it's place in my heart.
-
@MN5 I guess point is, I have my faves, but I also try a different or new craft beer whenever the opportunity arises (am out for lunch today so will no doubt find one to try) and many, particularly IPAs seem to be becoming quite hoppy and bitter...I am finding Pilsners generally better though, although got a Stoke Pilsner in the fridge at home and tastes more like an IPA.

@taniwharugby Wow, if Stuff could be summed up in one image. I'm surprised there isn't an article there linking him to Trump and the alt-right yet.

@Donsteppa am sure there will be one there, just more likely not in thier 'sports' section and with a much less prominent place on the page

nice to see after Christchurch shootings that NZ news cycle has returned to normal. No, I did not doctor any of this news article from today.
Don't knock it mate. If anyone thinks NZ isn't generally a pretty good safe place to live then that is evidence to support the idea
