Bulls shirt

Ha ha, on the left you see the launch of the new Bulls super rugby home kit for the 2014 season, maintaining the traditional blue albeit with a few splashes of colour for effect, on the right you see the new away kit! The Bulls had a poor season this year, here’s hoping that they can see one another on the pitch in that camo shirt or things are going to get worse!

On the bright side, I’ve had a sneak preview of the cheerleaders outfits ….. Continue reading “Bulls shirt”

Mom’s untimely call bags burglar

LAKE WORTH, Florida: A burglar who left his phone behind was rumbled when his mum rang just as police officers arrived at the house he’d just robbed.

Derek Codd, 19, left his cellphone on the kitchen sideboard after he and sidekick Kristen Rynearson stole jewellery from a house in Palm Beach County.

When an investigators were called to the house, the discarded phone rang, the officer picked it up and saw “Mom” lit up on the screen.

The policeman asked the woman on the other end who the phone belonged to, and she said it was her son’s.

Codd, of Lake Worth, had stolen the victim’s cellphone and a shotgun. His female companion had 49 pieces of jewellery belonging to the victim’s wife in her purse.

Feed the monkey

Nasa decided they’d finally send a man up in a capsule after sending only monkeys in the earlier missions. They fire the man and the monkey into space. The intercom crackles, ‘Monkey, fire the retros.’ A little later, ‘Monkey, check the solid fuel supply.’

Later still, ‘Monkey, check the life support systems for the man’.

“The astronaut takes umbrage and radios Nasa, ‘When do I get to do something?’

“Nasa replies, ‘In 15 minutes – feed the monkey’.

This then was part of Roy Hodgson’s (the England football manager) half time team talk last Tuesday night,

It’s been labelled racist by some, inappropriate, innocent, harmless, generational (gap) by others. Continue reading “Feed the monkey”
