Arite mate!  Its all on then. The burden of a nations pride on these
weakling shoulders et cetera et cetera. =)

By the by, Andrew - there's no war paint involved in the haka.  Those
tattoos are literally carved into the skin of the face with a bone
chisel.  We're big on tackling the pain threshold around these parts
(probably because tackling the guy with the ball seems still outside
our grasp).

*hmm he muses sadly over his dubiously verbose code*

This kiwi isn't about to vooom unless I find my four million volts.
Any other kiwis out there willing to step up to plate and homerun the
challenge this Aussie has just *rolled* towards us. ;-)
