Rugby is the official religion of New Zealand.  I also seem to pickup the local taxi firm as well at times, is there some way of tuning it into Concert FM?

            Its not the radio waves its the rugby- it gets into everything, very

aggressive. i met a guy in NSW

and it was broadcasting directly out of him , it's all he could talk

about. Put one of those china dolls with the hula skirts on top of your

tron, that will ward it away.
