Braaiday - (Rebecca Black "Friday" Parody)

Gareth and Nic got together to make a video for South Africa's Braai Day last month. Braai Day is not just another 'public-holiday-we're-not-sure-we're-celebrating', but it comes close. In fact, it's the same thing but with the rule that states you have to braai.

It is also celebrated by ex-pats all over the world - and awakens more SA pride and spirit than Tri Nations.

One warning! Every Friday, or every time you have a braai, this song will find it's way out of your subconscious, and expresses itself as a spontaneous hum or an embarrassing burst into the chorus.

Here it is...

Interesting article by an Aussie journo... LIMITING THE POWER OF THE WHISTLE

There are no doubt a lot of Australian rugby supporters celebrating our victory over the Springboks yesterday. There are also a number of us that are wondering how on earth we managed to pull it off against a side that dominated possession and territory and lineouts. Now, I don’t want to take anything away from the Australian victory – our boys did perform superbly but on the day the Springboks were, we have to admit, the better side. The boks, as always were magnanimous in defeat with a somewhat pragmatic approach to the result. I wonder what our boys would have said faced with the same situation of blatant incompetence by Mr Bryce Lawrence. I support Australia and always will but for those of us that believe in fair play this was a hollow victory. This was very much like fighting a worthy opponent with one arm strapped behind his back – it leaves a bad taste. There were rumours about Mr Lawrence’s impartiality before kick-off from a lot of ex pat South Africans now living in Australia but we tend to dismiss these conspiracy theories with a grin. Certainly, Mr Lawrence’s performance on the field did nothing to dispel those theories. His performance was nothing short of abysmal. He did not award the bok try because of a dubious forward pass. I have looked and looked and to me, anyway, it did not look forward. Minutes later when the boks once again breached our defences and were well on the way to scoring another try, he called them back for a forward pass. If the first call was contentious, there certainly was nothing wrong with the second one. Here, I must ask – why not use the “eye in the sky”? An impressive expensive piece of equipment that should be used for such decisions. He failed to penalise Pocock for slowing the ball down. If we had played like that against the All Blacks, they would not have been so quiet about it. – and rightly so. In the dying minutes of the game he was in full view of at least 2 high tackles by our boys that went unpunished. Any of these transgressions, if properly acted on, would have surely given the game to the Boks with their advantage over territory. To rub salt in the South African wounds, he awarded a high tackle to the Wallabies for a chest high tackle. We won, but did we really? Our sport has always been regarded as a “hooligans game played by gentlemen” – If we do not want rugby union to degenerate into a farce that soccer can become we need to make sure that our refs are of suitable calibre. They need to be trustworthy gentlemen. Mr Lawrence, I would advise against any planned holidays to South Africa for a couple of years. Chris Davis The Australian

Remember this...

Oh my goodness! I couldn't believe how distinctively clear my memories were when when I saw this pic! Memories of hours and hours of winding and untangling - all at a time when I still thought nothing in the world would ever change. Cases and cases of tapes with songs recorded off the Top 40 (and if lucky, the talking bits edited out). What was your first tape?

= numb fingertips!

Pretty Cute Jackets

Now I am absolutely, in no way, wishing cold weather on anyone - EVER!!

I hate winter more than pretty much anything else...and that's a long list too.

So, anyway...I found some pics of super-blue-miserable-days-of-darkness (a.k.a. winter) jackets that could maybe, just maaayyybbbeee, bring a little light into the dark pit of chilling to the bone.

Feel good loveliness

Christian George Quote

I picked the title for (my book) Sex, Sushi, and Salvation because I wanted to communicate the three basic needs of the human heart: intimacy, community, and eternity. Only the God who has given us these three hungers can perfectly satisfy them with Himself. Of course, I’m finding that most people like one of these three things in the title and it’s usually not the sushi.
