2 September 2009A thousand apologies...
Yes we hav We have not been sitting on our hairy hobbit hands of course, oh no The Beige Brigade has been chipping away here on Twitter, facing off on Facebook, talking to the chaps at NZ Inspired magazine, rambling over there on The Rave, and ranting across here on the Sideline Slogger blog at Stuff . Without any further ado here are 10 things to bear in mind as you prepare to endure the demented ramblings of Danny Morrison over in Sri Lanka, or the crackly static-filled warbling of the omniscient Bryan Waddle. ON THE TELLY: We recently popped up on C4's documentary on New Zealand's Top 100 Pop Culture Moments (we were a Brademan-esque 99 not out). Even better was the cranky pre-menstrual TV review from the Dominion Post's in-house misery guts Jane Bowron - love it! LEAGUE: Kiwis vs Kangaroos in dirty old London - from just £20: The World Champion Kiwi rugby league team is in the UK this year...so buckle up! We line up against the Kangaroos in London and then Great Britain in picturesque Huddersfield. Check out all the details here: www.beigebrigade.co.nz/uktours/league/
RUGBY: The Men in Black head to Europe - On sale now... The ABs line up in Milan, Marseille, London and Cardiff this Autumn and we will be thundering along to all the games again. There is limited availability for the Milan and Marseille trips so get in quick and secure your place with just a £75 deposit. PLUS the Speight's Return Coach to Cardiff is back from just £159 and we'll be dominating at Twickenham for the Baa Baas game. All the details here: www.beigebrigade.co.nz/uktours/rugby/ A BOOK TO BUY: J-Rod is the world's best cricket blogger, well he was until he got married anyway. He has a crackingly abusive book out called The Year Of The Balls 2008: A Disrespective. We reckon he is magnificently abusive, inventive and informed and you should buy his book for you, or someone like you, or for your Dad for Father's Day.
CLOBBER: The Beige Brigade's online shop is still roaring away nicely - with it being winter we are flying a little low in the stocks of some items but there are plenty of beige Brigade shirts to go around unless you are fatter than Dwayne Leverock. Feed your beige clothing fetish here, and remember no GST if you're outside the Land of the Long White Cloud. And if you're inside then it is free postage: http://www.beigebrigade.co.nz/catalog ANOTHER BOOK TO BUY: Joseph O'Neill's Netherland is a magnificent novel in which cricket in none other than New York City plays a central role. The Sunday Telegraph said it was "a paean to cricket" which means it was definitely quite good. As someone somewhere remarked, it is the first cricket book they have ever read where Stephen Fleming punches Shoaib Akhtar (through the covers for 4). BUNNY HUNTERS: We do love small horses (http://www.smallhorse.co.nz/) but we are not partial to bunny rabbits. To prove the point sponsored a team in The Great Alexandra Easter Bunny Hunt held in Central Otago. They came sixth and looked magnificent - dressed to kill perhaps?
Take care out there - chip away at us on beigehq@beigebrigade.co.nz Cheers Paul & Mike
