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!!

Thanks Nadine. We make the most of the world we live in, and sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we go with the flow, but having thought a lot about time travel, I would probably do it all again, maybe just appreciate the good bits more. I explored the theme for a song I wrote and it was a trip :) I remember sitting in the terraces at Eden Park too lol. Great entertainment on and off the pitch.

Thanks for reading and leaving a comment, Dylan. It's perhaps not a part of Kiwi life we remember and share, but it was very real.
