    California, ABs.

    What part ?

    Great spot from what I saw, to this day my best holiday ever.

    Sacramento - 2 hours from the places worth visiting as people often say. Where did you go on holiday MN5?

    LA, San Fran and literally everywhere in between. Fantastic trip back in 2000

    Born in Southern Rhodesia before the family moved to Upper Volta. The old man got a job in Burma before being transferred to Zaire. Short stints in Burma (again) and Swaziland.

    Melbourne, All Blacks.

    @ACT-Crusader fair play had to look up Upper Volta.

    Was your Dad a butler for dictators?

    as you relish pedantry it's actually Okiato that was, briefly, the capital.

    Okiato being Wellington to Russell's Auckland.

    I won a tie break in a quiz in Sydney by knowing the capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou.

    One of the few countries anywhere I wouldn't want to visit. Most are in West Africa

    Ok.

    Had a book in the deep dark distant past that describes Russell, then known as Kororareka as "The Hellhole of the Pacific", which has stuck with me for 40+ years.

    Happy to be advised of my error..

    Born in Welly and spent my first 20 odd years there, then moved to Auckland and lived there for over a decade. Now back north of Wellington up the coast to be closer to family. Also spent a lot of time as a kid (months at a time) in England as that's where my Mum and all her family lives. Support All Blacks as my first team, England as my second. Locally I am a Canes man through and through but support the Blues as my second team as my oldest boy is a Blues man after growing up there.

    was there a bonus point on offer for spelling it?

    I was at a work trivia a couple of weeks ago and the question was name 10 countries that have changed names in the last 30 years and I was only one that got it….

    I regularly tell my toddler that Dunedin is his home town. He's been there once.

    Live in Lower Hutt.

    Teams; Highlanders, Otago and ABs in third. Would skip a late ABs game. Wouldn't do it for a Landers game.

    I’ll never understand this. That’s not a dig at you, it’s basically the entire football world - but club over province over country, I just can’t wrap my head around it

    I’m AB’s first, then an absolute chasm to any of the Canes/Manawatu/Welly

    Me too, although my gap from ABs to Magpies is tiny, but my gap from Magpies to Chiefs is pretty big, and TBF I'd probably have Hastings Boys above the Chiefs.
