Great little read went to the flying Jug a couple of times when I visited Auckland didn't know it had that name until later, almost got caught up in a brawl but managed to get out before the jugs started flying. Also knocked around with similar group some of whom ended up in jail didn't get locked up untl the 81 tour.
I grew up in an adjacent era, with the same culture. It led to a lot of harm; alcohol shaped so much of my early experiences, and I carried dependence into my adult life and contend with it still. I remember singing Bliss, loving it, the smell of alcohol all over me after watching one day cricket games at Eden park, how normal it was. Much later, listening to the words of that song, I was like, jaaayssus!?! I dunno, it was normal, but shouldn't have been. Enjoy your musings too Luigi!!
