The beautiful game! Rugby!

We're waiting at the JHB air port to board a flight back to Cape Town - we flew into Johannesburg on Friday morning for some meetings, then on Friday night we had the world Spoof championships (Mr Spangenberg from Cape Town handed to trophy over to the new world champion, a gentleman contender Mr Cherril from the Cambridgshire area in England).

Today we had tickets to watch the Springboks playing against the British Lions as Loftus Versfeld. It was an incredible atmosphere! Go to http://www.qik.com/digitaldion for a nice little video to get some of the incredible atmosphere at the stadium! It was a sea of Red! I was so impressed with the Lions supporters - fantastic guys and ladies!

Well, now we are ready to head home. I am so thankful for the many blessings that I have in life!

I am looking forward to having time with my family tomorrow!

an amazing game. But two moments when the afternoon was ashamedly unethical:
1. Schalk Burger's eye gouging
2. The R 1000 per ticket.

Absolutely Pete! I agree on both counts.

There is a third thing that is Unashamedly Ethical! 3. I was still standing in the mass of people trying to get into the game when Schalk Burger was rightly sent off. There were so many people at the game that it took about 40 minutes to get in from the gate.

However, once in it was an incredible atmosphere. Our developments company has season tickets so we sat with a few clients on the half way line about 10 rows from the field.

Be blessed my friend! We need to have coffee again soon! This time I'll come out your way.
