Eat My Dust

14 July 2014 By Alan Straton

The image below shows the torrid conditions that we at MyPE are forced to endure just to bring you that shot. I must hasten to say that these conditions are certainly more tolerable than listening to some local politician warble on about how wonderful it is.

Hook up with the cameraman behind this shot, Gareth Burley, on Twitter @SportMadGa.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.

    Shame life is hard for you at mype. How lucky you are to have such a patient, understanding wife:)

      The Longhair is always welcome to accompany me on these adventures, although she does seem quite happy to see my back. Something about; “You need to get out and away from the computer!”

        The Longhair must love you very much to be so concerned about your well being. How fortunate you are. She probably understands things like “man time” and doing things with the boys. Nice photo btw 🙂
