    Upon return

    Yes, I'm back.

    Well it was a great holiday in London, Croatia and even two days in Dubai, as well as a couple of Force photo competition pictures.

    Well about a week ago i got out of bed in London and went downstairs to watch the Boks take on the Wallabies with my dad and some family friends who we where staying with. To say the least it was a dissapointing start to the day, the Boks lacked passion and drive to win, as well as Jaco playing his worst game of rugby I have ever seen him play. Just shows how politics can ruin a good team, although the Wallabies have improved alot.

    Well when i got back home a caught the replay of the Boks vs AB's game which to me went down to penalties and a few "dodgy" first half decisions.

    Now i have two days before school starts... and i project on asexual and sexual organisims due in on the first day of school@!*^%$#

    well here are a few pictures taken at "wild wadi" a water park in Dubai of me in a surf comp, which consisted of 3 pros and 7 other randomly picked tourists, one of them being me

    Yeah RugbyFan the one in Durban is great i've seen pictures, it is very diffrent to riding and actual wave don't you think?

    By the way LarryNJ while i was in London i met up with a mate of mine who moved to Texas, he got me a Texans NFL Jearsey! He also got me to buy the NFL street 2 game, which is cool to say the least. So on the back of my jearsey it says "johnson" is that Andre Johson the wide reciver? And could you give me a little bit of feed back on how the Texans are going in the legue thanks.

    haha in Dubai i was wearing the NFL shirt and this guy came up to me and said " yall from ttteeexxxaaasss?" in the accent haha classic

    Yeh its really different to riding a real wave, i got hammered, basically fell 2.5m onto "padded" concrete covered in 10cm of water. All the boys had a great laugh!

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Yeah, it may have been a good game for the Wallabies; but for the Tri- Nations it was not. The Tri- Nations has always been a competition where all three teams are very much even and it usually comes down to away wins etc. Becuase of the politics in SA rugby I'm sure there won't really be a true Tri-Nations as we know it is a few years time.

    Sorry to tell you but the Texans SUCK! Lucky for you though nobody down there will know that. Andre Johnson is very good and by far their best player. In all fairness to them they are a new team and like the Force it will take them a few years to build a top tier team.

    Julian plays NFL Street 2 also. Him and his buddies love it. Is it on Xbox live? If so you and Julian could hook up and play together.

    If you think they talk funny wait till you meet someone from Pittsburgh. They can't even pronounce Steelers..they say Stillers Instead of y'all they say "yinz". http://www.pittsburghese.com/ Although Pittsburgh is my home town I have gotten away from talking like that.

    BTW: Training camp has started for the NFL "Go Stillers!"
