I've just read an hilarious piece in the Tonight section on IOL about the rise (once again) of the dreaded Speedo. Written by Jan Moir with such lines as
"The type of man who wants to show you his bacon and eggs before you've even agreed to have dinner with him, let alone breakfast".
Read it and enjoy.
A man just came into my office to ask if we do speedo repairs, funny.
Whilst scanning the article I also read that Turkey will be holding the 649th Annual Oil Wrestling Festival next month, what will they wear? And roll on next year for the big 650.
The vuvazelas just sounded 12 noon, school children have left the buildings for 5 weeks and the unions are trying to get in on the act, as ever, wanting businesses to give their workers friday afternoon off.
I'm looking forward to the World Cup. I'm a soccer fan, my man Wayne ( a fellow redhead) is playing for England so of course they'll have my support but most of all, I'm looking forward to the influx of visitors who have no idea how wonderful this country is. The brave people who've ignored the world press berating our country and opted to come anyway, sans bodyguard, armed only with pounds, dollars, euros and yen. I expect the visitors to Cape Town to be gobsmacked at it's beauty and I hope they won't be too disappointed if all is calm.
I hope all is calm. Gees is the word used, pride I think. So whether you're a fan or not, ( one customer pointed out to me that he doesn't like football OR soccer), it's only a few weeks out of our lives and a chance to host the biggest sporting event we've seen here. So, "Do it for your country broo" and give the world a good SA welcome.
Even if they're packing in the Speedo and vest.
Oh sweet child of mine...

Louise! You've done the apostrophe thing! How you disappoint!
Love the bacon and eggs thing. Have just read it out to the dear man and he had a really good laugh, something he hasn't done for ages. Perhaps I should read your posts more regularly to him as a therapeutic sort of thing?
