Game, Set and Twat

I'm just back from my first ever rugby match. North Harbour versus Bay of Plenty. I was supporting North Harbour naturally as I was with my Uncle and Jay (the aussie) [who insidentally I mis-informed the poms at home - his name is Jay and not Jason. Sorry!!!] North Harbour lost 9-14 but it was a great match. I had four layers of clothing on and as I decided not to wear the other jumper I brought with me I ahd a bit of bum insulation. So comfy!! We got slightly wet as the rain pelted us (even under the harbour roof) and the guy in front went through 6 bottles of beer and was then going to have to go home to Bay of Plenty. They don't separate the supporters here so it was fun as I didn't know much of the rules I had to watch when I clapped unless I was sure Harbour were doing well. I must say though, the male and female cheer leaders need a lot of practice before next season as they were pretty rubbish and not inspirational to the crowd or team at all.

I have finished my first week at work in the school. We have been cleaned out for food a few times and the elder boys who get their lunch after the kids sometimes had no food left for them. But I am going back next week and see how I get on - I am however in touch with the orchards and am hoping to get a job there quite soon once the season starts.

I have been informed by my Aunt and Uncle though that 'twat' here does not mean 'posh idiot' it does mean a part of the anatomy of which I ahve not been told - so in the meantime I have to find lots of other new ways to explain a poncy idiot so as not to completely offend the person I am speaking about >;-D shame!!!!!!!!
