yes i know its not exactly in the vein of this blog but its a part of my old party days and am looking to revive some parties in the garden route. These parties where an integral part of my development as a human being (or not perhaps?) and great fun every time
here is a link to more galleries i found online

here is the full gallery for bulungula as promised yesterday. As mentioned a pic does not do bulungula justice. You have to smell the air and feel the country flavour. do yourself a favour and put it on your schedule of places to go. The wild coast rates more highly than any place in the world i have been. Wild untamed beaches and lagoons, wildlife, local people just getting on with it...couldnt ask for a better holiday

I have decided to institute a BritOmeter…u know. In strong sun brits turn lobster. 1 being pasty white and 10 being giant lobster….Today is a 3…Tanned toast!…perfect for our Uk friends
Pics of plett here http://www.shareapic.net/gallery.php?user=30501
The BritOmeter is a scale on 1 to 10 based on the colour a brits skin goes and will be used in all my future weather posts
1. Florescent white
2. Like drying white paint
3. White paint with a blush
4. White bread with butter
5. White bread toasted for 1 minute (ie: not)
6. White bread just tanned
7. Proper white bread - cooked to perfection
8. white bread under the grill...slightly blackened
9. carbon toast
10. Like a red...lobster
anything over 7...dont go out if you are a brit...or use factor 4000

The alien safari is a now legendary party ! www.aliensafari.co.za
I wrote a quick article on my other blog at http://www.coolpix.iblog.co.za/ …this is an awesome place to visit and any tourist to SA must go. I have included links to accomodation as well as the hogsback main site
they say it can have 4 seasons in one day…and it did when we where there. They just had over 2ms of snow!!!! yeeeouch thats gonna hurt come morning
Hogsback is called that because of the 3 hogs…3 distictive shaped mountains that do actually look like the backs of hogs.
Tolkien is rumoured to have dreamt up Lord of the Rings during his stay there and today the village is a veritable hobbiton…LOR fans must go
May 21st, 2007 by mail10o today saw one of the wierdest things ..it hailed down bucket loads…so much so that in places the beach was covered, roofs where white, the main road looked like somewhere out of europe in winter. AWESOME! a bit of action finally.
Need i say it has been damn cold here and cant be more than 5 degrees at its coldest which is highly unusual this early. If winter in SA stays like this we are going to hit major problems with the homeless people being exposed and general illness due to the extreme dam and cold.
We usually only get it like t
his around August or September so very interesting…any global warming theories out there?…lol ;). The problem with global warming theories is that the only way to stop it is to totally change every country on earth which wont happen because no country will give up what they got…especially not the ones that count. Global warming is not the issue. Making the earth uninhabitable for humans is the issue. The Earth will be just fine without us
Here are some images taken by a friend of my wife (Mandy Mcnickol of plettenberg bay)
more pics of this storm at....www.hott3d.wordpress.com
I reckon it because of 2 things
1. new players - theres a whole pile of new 20 year old players who just light up the field…JP pietersen, pierre spies…its a long list!
2. years of pain and misery..suffering breeds character! - the bok side has been so rollercoaster the last few years that maybe there was a grand plan after all
Personally i cant wait to whip the poms asses (again) in a a weeks time and then at the world so we can beat the worlds best consistant side..the Kiwis!
So who is going to do what the world cup…here is my predicition for the top 4
1st - Springkobs
2md - New Zealand
3rd - France
4th - Ireland
I reckon aussie in 5th and maybe italy to cause a few upsets. Aussie super 14 sides have sucked this year so dont rate them at all (although never rule them out!). The poms have once again sunk into a quagmire of self loathing and self pity…true to form. Italy i reckon has real potential to cause some upsets as does argentina
So after all of that who do i rate as the best club side in the world currently…its a toss up between the sharks and bulls. The bulls where lucky to win yesterday but when they are at full pace they are unstoppable..especially that forward pack…are quite scary!
Viva South Africa, Viva
