I am excited beyond excitement! I am finally going to watch Manchester United in action. For those of you about to launch into a tirade against United supporters, allow me to say this first. Do not lump me in with the average United fan. I have been loyal to this one team for longer than most of the readers of this blog have been alive. This is really a big deal for me. And the fact that I get to do so with a whole group of mates makes it even better. Even the Chelsea-supporting Hot Girlfriend is going.
That is, of course, if they don't approve the re-appointment of the Cape Town Stadium first. COSATU is calling for it to be converted into low cost housing. Take some time and read that again. COSATU is calling for the Cape Town Stadium to be converted into low cost housing. In the middle of Green Point. In the middle of the great big landscaped park. They actually think this is viable. I blame our non-existent education system. My 6 month old niece has better ideas in her nappy.
And in the glaring absence of an adjacent building, is it not an obvious oversight then to suggest the stadium when there is no place on which to anchor washing lines? The V&A Waterfront is simply too far away. Given the weight of the nylon string and water soaked Antie Miena se panties 'n' jerseys, the clothes will simply hang down to the ground and be stolen by the queues of people waiting outside. You know, the queues of people that actually qualified for the housing after having been on government waiting lists since 1994 but are forced to squat outside the new development because some shady/incompetent bastards have allowed scores of people to move in before construction is completed.
I'm glad to see the destruction of Mariner's Football Club was for such a worthy cause. Do you think the property owners in Mouille Point will qualify for flats there once their land value plummets so low they're also deemed poverty stricken due to outrageous bond repayments that can no longer be met?
At least this way most United fans will already be in the stadium at any given time.
The other option is apparently a shopping complex. As far as I'm concerned the only Game that should be allowed in that magnificent stadium is the beautiful game. Or maybe international rugby...
Anyway, enough ranting for now, it'll probably never happen. COSATU is probably just bored because no one invited them to the ANC policy inventing indaba. Where they sing songs, reword the previous campaigns' empty promises and flick through the 2013 Bentley catalogue.
We had a particularly awesome Sunday Roast yesterday at the home of Commander Conker and Rose Thorn, mainly because it is still the celebration week of Rose Thorn's birthday. Happy happy birthday!
There was even traditional Yorkshire Pudding - perfect!
Why is Gordon Ingesund, Bafana Bafana's new head coach, getting half of what Pitso Mosimane was paid in monthly salary - and less than half of Joel Santana or Carlos Parreira? Is the rest going towards low cost housing?
