Rugby

Did you see the game tonight? Lions v Chiefs? final score , 65 to 72. Ok so the good old boys lost sure but what a match, look at the stats thats 137 total points in a match lasting 80 mins, thats thats almost one point per 30 seconds. Now thas rugby. Although one must ask about the loins strategy let the other side rack uo points then work reakky hard to catch up, half time , second half same thing and that last tri was agonising they sat on that tri line for what 5 - 10 min. you know chewing the cud, smelling the roses.

Johburg, a word to the wise, take some time get out from your resturants, and clubs on a friday night, pack a pick nick, drink beer, eat billtong and worse rolls and get down to eles park opps sorry my bad coke a cola park, to watch the boys pulvarise each other for 2 hours, you shant regrat it. This was my first vist to the park I must say, and after living in the city ten years, i cany believe its taken me that long to get down there. Sure is in door fontein and the drive in is certainly creative but you siply must go.

There truely is nothing like an evening at the rugby, to cement the true south african experiance. Although one is a little concered about all those anti racism campagiegns, admitidy- there were scant few people of colour in the stadium tonight, for anyone to have been racist towards. Which i feel is a pity. I gues one feels alot of comraderie while yelling at a common enemy, even if its just a game. and our brother from other mothers sure do bring some colour to a rather calvanist sceen. I guess what im saying is, get out from your pubs, your clubs , coffee bars, your shabeens , you local jolls and come on down and check it out one might even be pleasantly surprized at what you can do for less cash that a movie!

All i can say is i'll be back.

ladies at gym

I am a recent gym member, I held out as long as a could be there you go, like facebook the gym will eventually get you. Everyone's doing it. you can run but you cant hide and alas once they've got your cash you're trapped along with all the reasons you now remember why you swore you'd never do it.

Locker rooms should not be frequented by people over the age of 9, call it my introduction to locker rooms in the catholic school I attended by really some people, are just exhibitionist.The locker room is not you house, in fact im not sure you should be doing what some people are doing in the locker rooms even in your house the neighbour would complain.! Take yesterday, I innocently enter the locker gym bag in tow and am confronted by an entirly buck naked woman blow drying her hair. upside down. I felt better acquainted with her nether regions than I her gynaecologist. I swear I could see her clitoris. This was by the way just a casual oh my word glance sort of glance.

Secondly I am utterly convince that gyms don't work, my not 100% sure mind you, but there are large number of horribly over weight people, who one wonders would not be better advised to look themselves deeply in the mirror and say I will not eat that second cookie. There are almost no normal people there, they include at casual glance the horribly obese, the anorexicly skinny, and those with such poor mucle tone as to deserve the right not to exercise. and a bunch of overly energetic gym instructors who job it appears it to torch-er people, in a manner oddly reminiscent of Nazi death camps at Auschwitz. The aught to be a doctor in white coat, totting a clip board at the door some sort of standard gym weigh in, if one is found to be under weight one is forced to eat a big mac and a coke, sent home to gain weight before entry is to be permitted. Secondly having been found to be obese sent home to loose some more before attempting exersize, i swear there could be some seriouse heart attacks lurking in the gym, one wonders if they do have a doctor on retainer, although judging by the 'you train here at your own risk' signs proberbly not.

The new gym member is confronted with, a number of choices in cloths and gym accesories, one again people apear to lan into two catagories, those who go home shower, pick a specific gym out fit, do their make up and hair and then head off to socialize and pretend to do some exersize. then there are those who come strait from work aparently clothed in work attair and looking like they've had a hard day. Their are of course seriouse gym phopas one come accross, leason no one, do not wear a g-string to the gym perticularly if you are a large bottomed african lady. it will show and you will spend most of your gym session try despiratly to conceal the thing with jersyes and so on. Ladies its ok, sensable undear wear it acceptible at the gym, with exeption of granny panties. secondly licra should come with a warning lable just say no! if your over 70 kg and a woman! it was designed for super models who eat crack in order to stay slender, so unless your a super model lycra is genrally a bad idea. In the pool, please ladies do shave, being confronted by the amazon jungle at 5:30 pm when innocently glancing up from a lap is the stuff of night mares; even if its blond. save your feminist statments for the armpits or move to france I hear hair is in over there.

Finaly, should you actually manage to do some exersize, do try and smile your not at the office. this is not work, if it feels thus I encourage you to find some form of exersize you like. You'll enjoy it more, and ultimatly get fit too!
