Wednesday Woman #8

Hey there gents! this weeks entry is the lovely Lee-Ann Tweeden. She is a British TV Personality/Actress/Model, you know, one of those. I think they are reerred to as 'slashie' (model/(slash)actress) in Zoolander. Well, whatever the fuck she is, she is hot. Enjoy.

Mowbray and Daly Making a Come Back

After almost a year in the dulldroms, Mowbray golf course has been reclassified as a golf course to the delight of its loyal members. The greens now at least give their name some respect rather than the brown roads they were for most of the winter. They aren't exactlty Augusta National, but hey - they play.

Oh and it also seems that the couple of weeks sunshine that Cape Town has dished up lately has meant the course is suprisingly dry. The news will delight Shank who will now be able to tap his toes on his back swing like Frank Sinatra without getting his shoes too wet.

The revival of the golf course promted me to organise a few times at the course on Sunday afternoon. The times are 12.49 and 12.56pm. The semi-final is only at 9pm so no need to worry about that, so put your hands up if you would like to play!

Oh and I have also got a time on Monday at 2.15pm if guys are keen to get out there and correct their mistakes from the day before.

The NCC Get off to a flyer

This last Saturday saw the start of the 2007/08 cricket season. The WPCC/Nadoes CC kicked off their attempt to Win the league in only their second season. They were in action against Avendale CC away and this is how it went down.

It was a grey morning when the Nadoes side gathered at the WPCC and prepared themselves for the task ahead. The weather would not bother them, they were after all consummate professionals. The procession of Nadoes found their way to the Avendale fields in Athlone and soon they would be batting.

There was an air of excitement in the change room as Ruth and the Main Cheese gave positive words of encouragement. Sibu Ntini and the Great Dayne opened up for the NCC and got off to a solid start before some shambolic running between the wickets brought an end the the Great Dayne's fiery innings prematurely for just 7.

Taufeeq failed to trouble the scorers and the Nadoes were shaking at 18/2. It was then that Kenny 'The Muffin Man' Kirkby joined Ntini at the wicket and was in scintillating form as he smashed the attack to all corners before being caught on the boundary for a well played 44. The others came and went without much excitement until the Main Cheese played a little cameo at the end with an unbeaten 38. This left the NCC with the respectable total of 184/9 after their allotted 45 overs. The Scorecard read as follows:

D Allenbrook 7
S Toto 39
T Eli 0
K Kirkby 44
R Morris 5
C Sanderhoff 13
W Butler 4
J Meintjies 38
T Dawson-Squibb 13
D Light 8
M Patel DNB

Extras 13
Total 184
RR 4.09

After a few Burgers and chips, the NCC got into the field and felt that they had posted a formidable target. The Main Cheese started brilliantly, claiming 2 early wickets. The problem was that there was no-one backing him up from the other end, Ntini, Patel and Taufeeq took some punishment early on and it seemed as though Avendale were coasting to victory at the half way stage. It was then that the old heads in the side called the boys together and let their wisdom flow. This was exactly what was needed. The Great Dayne and Thomas Vaughan tightened the screws on the run flow and things got closer. With the runs drying up, a few rash shots were produced and this forced the breakthrough that the NCC needed.

At this point the game could have gone either way, they needed 30 from 30balls and had 5 wickets in hand. Then the Ruth turned to the Main Cheese. What happened next can only be described as amazing. The Main Cheese bowled with unrivalled ferocity and went through the Avendale middle order like a hot curry. He had broken the back of the innings, while taufeeq cleaned up from the other end. It was fitting that the Main Cheese claimed the last wicket and with it the coveted Man-of-the-Match award, bowling the home side out for 162 to win by 23 runs. The bowling figures were as follows:

J Meintjies 9-12-6
S Toto 5-39-0
T Eli 8-21-3
M Patel 2-17-0
T Dawson-Squibb 9-29-0
D Allenbrook 9-25-1

The scenes that unfolded later in the change room were spectacular as always as the beer flowed and so did the songs. It was good fun.

Next week sees the first home game of the season. It would be advisable to get down to the WPCC 1st team field on sat 13 Oct because there will be lots of beer, boerie rolls and things of that nature. The Semi final will be shown on a big screen so all pull in for a great day

We still love you Dan!

After many phone calls and emails from our lady readership all over the world singing praises at the “Diversified needs” post some weeks back I felt it only necessary to thank my ladies for their praise. And for that I give you all Dan the man Cater. He might be a choker as my good friend and colleague Jose has already commented on but he most certainly is still a crowd pleaser and if read on you will find out how he helped me out big time.

On Saturday evening around 9pm I was standing in front of a large Sony plasma screen at a pub in my town. Then up walked this great looking bird with a Smirnoff spin in hand. She donned a pretty smile; blond hair, a fair sized rack and looked like she was having a good time. Rodney Clarke with beer in hand and charm in abundance strode over to the mystery chick to start a conversation.

“How are you doing?”…” “I’m fine thanks” said the mystery women in a cute but naïve sounding voice. “So are you looking forward to the rugby this evening?” I said…I got a pathetic yet cute reply “What Rugby?” Being the gentleman and rugby enthusiast that I am I eagerly replied by telling mystery women that this match was only the biggest quarter final of the Rugby World Cup 2003. Mystery women looked at me with a blank stare as if to say “so what!” So at this time in the conversation it definitely looked like I wasn’t in there and I wasn’t going to get to touch the nice rack I mentioned of earlier.

As I walked away, a bit dejected and now deflated at my recent loss I got a soft touch of a pat on the shoulder. It was the mystery women…”Is Dan Carter playing in this game?” I replied eagerly “yes he is indeed”, stuttering ever so slightly. Mystery women replied “I don’t know much about stupid rugby by my goodness that Dan guy is hot. And come to think of it you look incredibly like him.” My chest puffed out and I was oh so proud…I knew now I was in there. The rest is history as mystery chick pulled up a chair next to me as the rugby started. She began to whisper sweet nothings into my ear about how she now loved rugby. Thank you Dan for both losing the quarter final and for helping me score once again.

Heimlich Maneuver

Well can you believe it, the perennial chokers have done it again?

It really amazes me how this happens every four years, and it seems to be getting worse. In 1995 they were the favourites and lost to a spirited Bok side in a closely fought contest in the highveld. Not really a total disgrace losing to the home side in a tight final, but hey they were favourites.

In 1999 they were once again favourites (as I think they will always be going into any world cup), but were somehow thrown off course in an amazing match by French comeback of note!

In 2003 they were starting to carry the tag chokers, much like Phil Mickelson did in the majors for a large portion of his career, when they went to Australia as favourites. They had lost to England at home that year but had obliterated the rest of the opposition in the run up to RWC2003. They unfortunately came across the home side in the semis and once again choked on their favourites tag.

Yesterday though things got worse! They were by far the best side at the competition (as much as the fair weather Bok supports might want to argue against the 'by far' adjective), yet they didn't get into the last 4 of the cup. What happened? Well to be honest, I felt they were robbed by some pretty average reffing (key phrases being 'forward pass' and 'hands in'). But in the end, as all law abiding South African and particularly Sybrand Park citizens (although not convinced that the all people abiding in the danger zone of Sybrand can be described as citizens - harsh, but fair) will know, when you robbed there is not much you can do about it except complain.

But hey, on the bright side for the Kiwis is that there is always 2011 in New Zealand. What are the chances they could possibly not win there?

John Daly would turn in his Camper Van

Things have been quiet on the golfing front lately due to the flurry of 'Admin' the tour pro's are currently experiencing. Most of the players have had other commitments to attend to and have little time to compete for the coveted Daly Cup.

Reports have been surfacing that current Daly Cup holder Jambles Charton has been Keeping himself busy by furthering his Karaoke career. He has been spotted at various Cape Town establishments flaunting his Supernatural Singing abilities to anyone and everyone he comes into contact with. He is so dedicated in fact, that when a lovely (not so young) fan asked him for some personal assistance and some hands on training, he promptly went home with her and obliged like the true professional that he is.

The Name has also been putting in some time on the golf course of late with the odd sneaky 9holes at Mowbray and I am pleased to report that the Little man had this positive news to convey: "The Mowbray greens are looking a lot better, they are a lot softer and have been recently shaved. A lot like my new girlfr...um...oh...name a hot chick and Iv probably scored her. Fuck Off!"

MJ King seems to have devoted his time to cricket these days. I think he has finally laid his dreams of becoming a professional golfer and winning the Daly Cup to rest. Dreams die hard old boy.

I need a Hero...

Im currently viewing my way through Heroes season 1. I can already hear you all saying "Thats old news, I saw that over a year ago" yes I know, im a late bloomer so fuck off. There is no denying the fact that there are in fact a few angels on the show. The one I am most interested in, is a lady by the name of Missy Peregrym. She plays Candice on the show. She can change into anyone, which is quite a vibe. Imagine having her as a girlfriend. You could effectively have a different girl everyday! A little unrealistic, but its nice to dream. Remember, save the cheerleader, save the world.

Life in General

Rocking the Daisies was a huge success. I was a bit sceptical at first, not quite sure of what to expect. It was my maiden voyage and I was going to have a good one. There is an atmosphere of extreme 'chilledness', partly due to the fact that everyone is on holiday and partly due to the copius amounts of controlled substances that were rife within the festival. We set up camp early on Sat morning after an interesting drive to Darling. We promptly cracked open the first beers and let the good times roll, and boy did they ever. Big names such as Harry's House, Kevin Merry, The Princess, Croc and Stu Mac were on top form as well as The Godfather and Jaimie Ross putting in sterling performances. But the stand outs of the festival for me were the barmen trio of Deac-on/off, Bob Pecan and Otto. They were in a constant state of Fuckedness for the entire festival and managed to hook the boys up. Hats off to everyone that made the trip up and and for making it such a memorable weekend, the Playroom Salutes you!

Ryan Faull and Nick Gorman will be fighting at the Muay Thai fights on Saturday night (6oct) at Dragon Power Gym. No contracts have been signed as of yet, so they will not be fighting in the Playroom colours just yet, but we are confident that the deals will be finalised in the near future. All are welcome, tickets are R70 so lets all give them some support! There will also be chicks fighting!

This weekend sees the business end of the Rugby World Cup kick into gear. The quarters are set to be action packed and mad matches all round. The fixtures look like this:
6 Oct 15:00 Aus v Eng
6 Oct 21:00 NZ v Fra
7 Oct 15:00 SA v Fiji
7 Oct 21:00 Arg v Scot
Stay glued to your TV's folks cuz its gonna be sick.

As if that wasn't enough, This Saturday sees the start of the Nadoes/WPCC cricket side's season. They will be in action against Avendale in a 45 over game and will be looking to begin the season with a big 'W'. The side will be posted when it is finalised by the coaching staff. Our reporters manged to get a few words out of the Nadoes Captain Ruth, he had this to say: " The boys have been busy in the off season, they are all in fine form. We have made some huge signings this year that are sure to bolster the ranks even further. It Should be a great season"

Reports have been flooding in that Jambles showed up at his digs this morning at about 9am after a heavy night out with a large smile on his face. It has been said that he managed an away fixture with an unidentified young lass. More on this story as it unfolds.

Paris goes brunette!

Paris Hilton just couldn’t take it any more, all those blond jokes, people telling her she’s stupid and being sent to jail for committing repeated offences. So she changed her hair colour. From blonde bimbo to brunette bimbo. What do you think Playroom readers? What do you prefer the blonde Paris or the brunette Paris? Or do we even care?

Crime affects everyone in this country!

Wednesday Woman #7

This weeks entry is a lovely lady by the name of Kelly Brook. Any google image search on the young lass will bring you a myriad of scantily clad pictures of her, as well as the odd NSFW pic. She is not shy to prance around and get her baps out. Good girl. Enjoy

Blonde Coffee Drinker

A blonde says to a brunette, ''Excuse me, but each time I sip my coffee, my eye seems to hurt.''

The brunette says, ''Well maybe you should take the spoon out of the cup.''

Ladies Breaking Records

Now dont get me wrong, I love ladies. And I do take their needs into account whenever I make my decisions and attempt to please them whereever possible. Like just the other day I asked if she wanted to have sex before or after the rugby. Thats the kind of guy I am, kind and considerate, not to mention very accomodating. And I of course realise the need for some eye candy (if you can call Jake Gyllenhall that) for the ladies. But, I just thought that I would chalk one up for the good guys and comment on these lovely ladies from Bondi Beach in Australia who attempted to break the world record for most ladies in a swim suit photoshoot. Well done girls. Initiative is always rewarded.

SA Sports Admin is the Place to be!

It is no secret that sports admin in South Africa can only be described as a monumental fuck up. The elected officials in charge of sprort are pilfering money 'willy nilly' and our sport is suffering as a result. This article was sent to me via email.

CAPE TOWN — Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has softened his stinging criticism of banking group Absa, which he accused at the weekend of paying up to R50m to professional soccer bosses to secure the bank the sponsorship rights to the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

Manuel wrote to CEO Steve Booysen, saying he was “completely shocked” by Absa’s announcement that it would pay “R50m into the private bank accounts of the administrators who awarded the contract”.

He continued: “Making such a payment is wrong, morally reprehensible and corrupt” — and reminded the bank that “corruption is a criminal offence”.

Manuel noted that corruption was a crime for both the giver and receiver. He reminded Booysen that as a business leader he had a responsibility to strengthen the moral fibre of SA.

In an immediate written reply, Booysen denied Absa had anything to do with the payments, which were an internal PSL matter. He said he supported the minister’s views on corporate governance and agreed sports administrators should not be enriched by sponsorships.

Yesterday, however, following the bank’s denials, treasury spokeswoman Thoraya Pandy said Manuel should not have been understood to mean that he thought the bank was paying the bonus amounts directly into the accounts of professional soccer’s administrators.

Instead, said Pand y, Manuel was attacking Absa for allegedly “having turned a blind eye” to the PSL’s internal bonus arrangements on the deal.

Pandy said it was the minister’s opinion that the bonus money would be better spent on community sporting projects.

Manuel repeated his concern at the huge bonuses that sports administrators get paid for negotiating sponsorship deals and called on sponsors of sporting events to use their financial muscle to make sure that this does not happen.

The R50m in question is 10% of the R500m Absa sponsorship of the PSL. It follows the R30m commission paid to each member of the PSL’s sponsorship committee, which recently negotiated a R1,6bn broadcast deal with SuperSport.

Manuel said the duty of sports administrators was to comply with corporate governance, implement the sporting code and not enrich themselves.

The PSL, some of whose officials are reported to be in support of Manuel’s comment, said in reply to Manuel that there was “a stratagem to destabilise the executive committee”, while Absa said in its denial: “Absa has signed a heads of agreement with the PSL which makes no mention of ‘payment into administrators’ bank accounts’.”

Let us hope that the likes of Charles Roff, Manager of Villagers Rugby Club does not conduct himself in this manner and that he runs a bribe free office. He was a notable absence from the rocking the daisies festival this weekend.

Diversified needs.
