Had to start the race from the pits, behind the entire feild, Managed to claw his way up to 4th by race end so he's a bit of a champ.Great racing, Everyone fought for their place and drove hard. hb? How the hell did u know that? |

| 390836 | 2005-09-25 23:56:00 | I stayed up late watching that A1GP too. However, I don't think it is appropriate to perform haka. Don't tell me that haka is necessary whenever New Zealanders have done something remarkable? I guess most of the people would be wondering what on earth is happening in front of our New Zealand driver. Cheers :) |

Its my pet hate, apparently the haka must be performed everywhere for any reason at all. Funerals, meetings, sports events, weddings, probably just because the dog did something cute. When you follow the words its completely meaningless. I would have thought originally Maori had a number of different celebratory things to perform depending on the situation but now theres only the haka. |

| 390839 | 2005-09-26 01:50:00 | Where is Speedy Gonzalez...? Still, I suppose haka is something all NZers are proud of since it is so unique? Cheers :) |

| 390840 | 2005-09-26 02:07:00 | Pretty much all pacific nations have a Haka, It a war dance and back in the day they were perhaps more required then now. I think it has its place in the rugby, But then the Haka isn't mine and some traditionaistls(Maori's that is, not traditionalist rugby players) object to it being used. Though it would mean nothing to me if they stopped using it. The Haka is defnitly overused in the sporting world, its ruining it, pretty soon the Netballers will be throwing out a haka before each match. As for it being used too much ouside the sporting world, perhaps its all they know?, Due to family ties I have attented a few celebrations over the years with family that have strong ties to their background, Not a Haka in sight, though plenty of singing and traditional speeches.... Great stuff to see how its really done from time to time. |
