RWC quiz

Right.

Big games tomorrow (NZ time) I’ve a trivia quiz for our rugby loving members but not quite now, I’ll be publishing the quiz about this time tomorrow, just to keep you tossing and turning ’till you wait for the kickoffs 😉

In the meantime name the players sent off in this game (I was there), which became known as ‘The Battle of the Boet” (our stadium was called the Boet Erasmus stadium)

Of course our province was known for no nonsense hard rugby, in fact the 1st “Battle of the Boet” that I saw was actually between Willie John’s Lions and Eastern Province (yes, I was there, as I was at the test)

Try and get the names before the announcer, here’s a clue, 3 were sent off, perhaps still a RWC record!

½ a head of lettuce

A man walked into a supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter.

Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager,”Some old bastard wants to buy a half a head of lettuce.”

As he finished his sentence, he turned around to find that the man was standing right behind him, so he quickly added,”and this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half.”
The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way.

Later, the manager said to the boy,”I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier, we like people who can think on their feet here, and where are you from son?”

“New Zealand, sir,” the boy replied.

“Why did you leave New Zealand?”the manager asked.

Dewani extradition, 1 step closer

The UK Home Secretary (Theresa May) has signed the extradition order for Shrien Dewani to be tried in South Africa for the murder of his wife Anni.

Shrien Dewani (the depressed post traumatic stress sufferer) now has 2 weeks to appeal her decision. Theresa May’s approval was required to confirm District Judge Howard Riddle’s decision of 10th August in which after a lengthy hearing he decided that they extradition request was fair, that Dewani was fit to stand trial and that our judicial system would not impinge on his human rights!

Dewani’s options appear to be first the appeal and then an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, the wheels of justice seem to take forever but we can wait.

I’m just delighted that while this is ongoing Dewani is living the life of a virtual prisoner in his fancy care home.

And Max? Continue reading “Dewani extradition, 1 step closer”
