This weekend was a lot more relaxed than previous weekends! No puza face, which is always good!
On Friday i found out that my counterpart in Cape Town (who was up in Jozi) had tickets to the semi finals at Loftus! So Saturday morning we drove of to Loftus to pick up the tickets. There were already Bulls supporters set up, with braais and beers at 10am. It was then back to Jozi for the German School Bierfest.
Just before I was leaving for the Bierfest, Honey (my cat) caught a mouse. I tried to rescue it. When i picked it up, it bit me! I eventually lost it, after much fighting wiht my cat to let it go, somewhere in the kitchen... so who knows where it is now because a body has not been presented to me by Honey.
I fear i may be outgrowing it... very sad. It wasn't particularly exciting or full. At 3, i sped off (within the legal speed limit of course :-)) again to Pretoria. Luckily we got parking on a pavement a block from the stadium!
Once inside the stadium and outer stadium, it looked like a Smurf convention! There was blue everywhere! And unlucky for me, without thinking it through, i had a blue shirt and tracksuit top. But not in Bulls/Smurf blue.
After watching the Sharks game, it was into the grounds.... and guess what!? it was even more blue. I also felt like i was in a foreign country because of all the fast-spoken Afrikaans flying around.
So we stood around near our seats, so we could limit the amount of time wedged into a capacity crowd. And did we see some strange things! Apparently they only have bad hairdressers in Pretoria. Popular hairstyles for women include the "Mushroom head" and the bad krissy perm. For men, it's bleached well coiffed hair, with dark moustaches, and of course the ever popular mullet, in varying styles. Scary!
We had good seats! We were on the try line, 2 rows from the front. The Bulls warmed up right in front of us and Daniel Carter was also very close (mmmm... Daniel Carter...)
And then.... Steve Hofmeyer came onto the field!!! What a porn star! good lord! His hair is more styled and blow dried than mine (and i was at the hairdresser on Friday)! He sang that F*CKING song "Liefling". I had never heard the song before... and i NEVER want to hear it again! They play it every time the Bulls score and lucky for me they scored... that's 9 penalties!!! AAaRRRGHHHH!!! And they also play his "Ek is a Bull" song whenever there is a chance to breathe....
But Steve and the 'songs' aside, it was great! the atmosphere is unbelievable, seems they always support the Bulls, unlike other team supporters.
Now we have to decide... Sharks or Bulls? Bobby and Percy or Victor and Bakkies???
