Cubes 1,770 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 Cubes is always easy to spot 'cause of the eye patch and the regulation sombrero Mrs Cubes is easy to spot 'cause she is the one who had to visit the day spa , get the new outfit , buy another freaking fascinator ( and it's only the first day of the carnival !!!) , blow out the credit card balance and gets Cubity to run fool's errands at vital puntingness moments (like......can you get me another glass of Lindauer ?) ! von Smallhaussen, MS26, jasonmccook1 and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty from the bar. Great view of the track. Best punters on track. Best crowd. And with Cup Week stretching endlessly in front of us as we have the first beer of many a bit before midday saturday. Wouldn't be anywhere else..... jasonmccook1 and rdytdy 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 Will there be anywhere to tie your sheep up ? What colour moleskin trousers will you be wearing ? Will you be wearing a blue and white check Airtech shirt, or a white and blue check ? What colour brown R M Williams boots will you be wearing ? ZZ Top or The Travelling Wilburys ? Big Ben or 4 & 20 ? Speights or Lion Red ? Hilux or D-Max chariot ? Will the missus wear a nice navy blue top with minty jade green collar, or a greeny jade top with a navy blue collar ? How many blokes with sunburnt arms named Richie or Hamish will be leaning on the bar ? Will we talk about earthquake recovery ? It's going to be a big week in the greater Rangiora area. elbow, gary1, Insider and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other 'Cafers who actually leave the bar and wander 'round a bit may know better , but Cubes believes the memorabilia room is the Mellay Room which is in the old grand National Stand and it is open to all this Saturday but not next Saturday (NZ Cup Day) .

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted November 3, 2016 A few etiquette guidelines and conversation starters if you're at Riccarton, a sort of a "cheat sheet" if you've never been to Canterbury, their premium suburb Rangiora, or shagged your mother/sister/brother/goat, but you want to know how those that have think so you can relate to them. gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When God created the world, after seven long hard days, he was buggered, but he hadn't given the world an arsehole, and so he created Rangiora, St Peter ( his foreman on the job ) said " God, I love your work, and thee hath never created a greater arsehole than Rangiora", and God said unto Peter, but I am the almighty one....let me show you a refined and magnificent arsehole that is greater than all the rest....and so on the eighth day he created two, Kakama and Colin and gave them shelter in Rangiora ( in a caravan, up on chocks ) next to the tattoo parlor, just across from the kebab shop, and behind the panel beaters. Colin and Kakama lived happily ever after . Gruff 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
