   Well, I think seven months off after that result in December is long enough. Let's get this thing rolling again. I'm going to be adding things on here that I've collected - mainly pre-1950 New Zealand sports memorabilia - though the days of spending £600 on an item are long gone. I've been reduced to picking up bits and pieces on eBay but c'est la vie. On with the show. Andrew.
