If we share our view will you keep quiet?
Staying where we do we have a magnificent view of the bay and the Nelson Mandela Bay Soccer Stadium. Combine this with a park and wide verges across the road and we often see people stopping to admire the view. Along with those that admire the view we also get to see what we presume are dangerous liaisons, cheating spouses and even wedding parties having photographs taken. So long as these happen quietly and during the day I am a happy little camper. BUT, when drunken or drugged idiots … [Read more...] about If we share our view will you keep quiet?

Sexy Sevens Spectators Soiree
The Nelson Mandela Bay Sevens dished up a madcap bunch of Sexy Sevens Spectators at Rugby's biggest Soiree. The party was so big that one wonders if the fans have recovered enough to realise that New Zealand beat the Blitzbokke by 31 points to 26? In fact, someone of my passing acquaintance and rather closer to son of mine had to be fetched by Mommy and Daddy as his mates were having difficulty understanding his earnest slurring. A grown man of 27 being fetched by Mom and Dad - couldn't he … [Read more...] about Sexy Sevens Spectators Soiree
I Did Cry at the close of the Sevens
In the final match of the first day the Blitzbokke trounced Australia 26-0. My comment at the time was; "I think I am going to cry!" In the final match of the second day the Blitzbokke were beaten in the final second; "I, along with thousands of supporters, did cry!" Sevens is a game that is won by capitalising on the mistakes of your opponents and, sadly the Springboks made the final mistake of the tournament. Springbok Sevens coach Paul Treu blamed missed opportunities in a see-sawing … [Read more...] about I Did Cry at the close of the Sevens
