A Man and His Footy

I was reading Linley Boniface's blog on stuff today. Basically its a bleat about how enthusiastic we are about watching the All Blacks play for the World Cup and shame on us for not being so enthusiastic about Wellington writer Lloyd Jones whose excellent "Mr Pip" has just been short-listed for the world's most prestigious book award. Good on you Mr Jones! Very pleased for you. Keri Hulme and Barry Crump are indeed treasures in Aotearoa as is of course, Janet Frame.
BUT I am boring and tedious because I am enthusiastic about watching the Rugby World Cup? Linley, you are giving academics a bad name with your snobbish position on sport and your obviously pc wide bottomed feminist isms about a man and his footy. Go the ABs!
