The Number 20

A lot has been happening in the world of English football recently.

If you haven't heard yet then you've been sleeping under a rock. Manchester United closed the deal on their 20th English Premier League title. Social media went mental last night after Robin van Persie scored a hat trick winning the match against Aston Villa and the 2013 EPL title for Manchester United with 4 games to go to the end of the season.

Fans at Old Trafford kept singing Glory Glory Man United and other chants including Robin Van Persie's name as the game drew to a close and didn't leave till the last player left the pitch after doing their victory laps.

There were some interesting results over the weekend too. Tottenham Hotspurs came from the back to beat Manchester City 3-1 at the lane thus coming closer to securing their place in the European Champions League next season.

Liverpool literally chowed Chelsea in the second half when Luis Suarez took a bite out of Ivanovic. Many memes were spawned from that bite. The final score for that game was 2-2.

I don't know what was going through Suarez's mind when he went in for the chomp but one thing is for sure when Liverpool is hungry for a win they don't fright to take a bite!

Congrats to Manchester United on a well executed season. Proving to all haters(LFC) that they are the best team in the history of football in England.

Golf And Box Bar

Two Fridays ago I played my first round of Golf. I had the privilege of being invited to Northland Girls High's Annual Golf Day which was held at the prestigious Beachwood Country Club. This has to be one of Durban's most beautiful courses.

Before we could tee of we had the pleasure of getting neck and shoulder massages from the beautiful ladies of Camelot Spa. The course itself has pretty narrow fairways and for a beginner it was even more difficult.

The break at the 9th hole was very welcome as the day was humid and air-conditioning was like heaven! I had to change from my chinos to shorts and felt a hundred times better but got reprimanded by the grounds keepers for not having my shirt tucked in!

At the end of the day our four ball finished 8th, which was actually last, and we got a gift pack! I was dog tired and desperately needed a shower. Unfortunately I wasn't informed that we could shower at the country club after the game so I was the only stinky at the prize giving! But I enjoyed the day and would definitely do it again!

The next day I joined some friends at Box Bar in Umhlanga Rocks opposite the Beverly Hills Hotel to watch the Bok game against England. It was close but we manage to beat them in the end. So we haven't lost to England in the last 7 games! That's showing British Colonialism!

It was a beautiful day and Box Bar was buzzing with all types of characters from Bok supporters, the occasional English supporter and a whole lot of people in weird costumes! There were sailors, pirates, superheroes, a Joker, an Alan Garner lookalike (complete with baby!) and a Russell Brand! These guys were doing a pub crawl on bikes from Harvey Wallbanger's in Broadway to Umhlanga! They were wrecked by the time they reached Box Bar and Russell Brand bumped into me and spilled my beverage! He offered to give me a shoulder rub to pay me back! It was a funny site!

It was another good weekend in Durbs and although I'm looking forward to a great festive season it's going to be hectic with all the Gautengalengs invading our favorite spots for the next few weeks!
