The Rave

We mentioned the Phoenix game against Melbourne in the podcast this week - as this clip of the equaliser as seen from the Yellow Fever crowd perspective shows - it really was a cracker day in the sun at the Cake Tin.

This is a new coup for the Beige Brigade - a cheeky profile of Mike (dressed badly) seeking Beige Brigade global domination over in London. Check out the colour version in the September issue of Unlimited, if you dare.

As mentioned on this week’s podcast - updated news he is not as wasted as initially feared.

After getting a few pints in either side of the Wellington Phoenix’s first game - dressed in our partners-in-crime Yellow Fever kit - we staggered in to do the podcast. Hope you can’t tell…and for next week’s random XI, fizz us a note to BYC@beigebrigade.co.nz with your nominations for ‘The Hot WaGs XI’ - players with effective Wives & Girlfriends. Seems appropriate given that Brand Beckham is due in Wellington in December.

Episode 43 of The BYC in which we lose Kev, select the Party XI, the Ruse gets defeated, Billy is cross with the Motherland, and the Woman Slayer flushes a few bucks down the loo at the TAB…and emotionally channels Stephen Fleming in the song.

Next week’s Kev’s Random XI is the ‘Slog Kings XI’ - which Kiwi cricket players would have been good at Twenty20 if it had been around when they were playing…email your nominations to us at BYC@beigebrigade.co.nz and we’ll name the squad, coach and commentator on next week’s show.

As mentioned on this week’s episode of The BYC podcast…

Thanks to our English mate Joe for flicking this through - listen to Aggers and the commentary team lose the plot completely when wrapping up a day’s play at The Oval back in 1991…

The Beige Brigade’s northern hemisphere crew has a mighty platoon heading to Spain for La Tomatina, and blogworld has alerted us to the fact that there is going to be the odd foreign invader

We will be crafting him his own ‘I am the Gay Wiggle’ tshirt for the event.

This is a brilliant promotion - send a message to Aussie-based Kiwis and have it displayed on a billboard in downtown Sydney and Melbourne. Just sent this one to our mate Seano in Surfers Paradise - have a lash though and see what abuse of the Aussie cricket team you can get away with…

Exciting times - we had our birthday this week on the podcast…

Thank you to Jess and Austin Powers for this wee gem of hardcore Beige Brigadier and wonderful chap, Mr Bede Skinner…

Have been meaning to send you this for months.
Potentially the best ammunition you could ever want or need. Please pass it on to Skinner for me.
Hope you’re well, and finally enjoying some proper summer weather.
Love, J x

An update on yesterday’s antics - from the Southland Times:

Unfazed by the cold at a pre-season Stags game last month, 19-year-old Kyle Boekhout ran the length of Rugby Park wearing only a pair of socks.
His identity was revealed after he was dobbed in to The Southland Times by a caller yesterday.
His streaking attire went up for sale on the Trade Me website last month, with the Beige Brigade winning the auction for $50.
