    <p>god I have no idea where I'm going to watch it.  Some stupid twat (me) decided to book in their 40th for Sat night.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Basically have no choice but to try and push on through. Which won't be easy.  But fcuk it it's the RWC FINAL. surely I can stave off being an old ba$tard who can't stay awake past 1pm for one friggin night.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I have purchased a couple of trays of redbull.. think I'll buy some boxes of no doze!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>will see how the night goes but hopefully watch it in town somewhere will be good to have some atmos.. not that I'll be remembering it most likely! </p>

    <p>3am kick off for me, the worst possible time, I've generally been getting a few hours sleep and getting up for the game but I suspect that I'll be way too excited to sleep this week.</p>

    <p>Although WTW, to be fair, there is little chance of you remembering the game and if you watch it in a public place in Auckland, no doubt you're get lippy to the wrong person and get toweled up! </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Good times! :)</p>

    <p>As someone who runs these races (at a very very slow jog SammyC), if I'd trained for months I would still give this one a miss.  I enter the Melbourne Marathon every year but this year it would have required missing the quarter-final.  No chance.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm sure the feminist professor with absolutely no knowledge on how to perform scientific sampling and basic statistical analysis could survey some runners to find people who don't care about rugby though.</p>

    <p>The mother in law is in the local running club, they weren't very impressed with the timing but apparently the event calendar is set some time ago and is difficult to change.  I would expect that entries will be down big time this year.  Serves them right, fluffybunnys</p>

    <p>Yeah, I remember when they first announced it and said it was the only possible weekend it could be run.  I imagine the organizers would have been French and South African supporters the last 2 weeks.</p>

    <p>ha</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>yeh well it happened like this.  Venue booking available.. 31 Oct.. or some random date in Nov.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>then kinda went fark well if I don't book the venue for 31st then I'll be jinxing us making final.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So basically the reason we made the final was because of my decision.  You may thank me now.</p>

    <p>Get over it, you little girl :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Won't be changing my current Sunday routine which is a 4 hour bike and a 2-3 hour run.. Quite enjoy these earlier starts as I can wake up, have a nice croissant, fresh juice and coffee while watching the game, then get into my training.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The 8am starts meant I was struggling to find the time.</p>

    <p>I'm seriously questioning my worth on Earth</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As this is the closest I get to being religious I can't see past the prospect of savouring every minute at home with me 2 hounds and screaming at the tele. 11pm Ko here</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I find myself turning up my nose at watching it surrounded by multiple nubile naked nymphs all excited at the prospect of Halloween shagging and gagging.</p>

    <p>Dear lord what have I become!!?</p>

    <p>I got up and watched the SF on my own last Sunday morning.  This weekend I will invite myself around to a mate's house to watch the final with them.  We went to the 2011 SF together so I'm hoping for the same result. :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>BTW, I heard that they are trying to broadcast the final on a big screen in the Auckland CBD.  I understand that NZR and I assume Sky TV will have to give the OK.</p>

    <p>Indeed.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I've got rugby in the early evening (not finishing till 7:30). Then a Halloween themed house party. Then the final kicks off at midnight.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Despite the obvious attractions of the party, in reality I'll probably just end up canning the party and slowly winding my way to the pub and getting a good seat.</p>
