Hi All
Today is going to be a little different in the GFW blog. I really don't want to mention food today as last night Davida burnt the nachos, so Rhys and I were not impressed. I made a rather nice chicken fillet with Moroccan spices though, will post the recipe later for you guys.
As all know I enjoy my wine so I have added a link of my favourite wine cellar to my blog, cybercellars.com
On this site you will be able to order South African wine and have it delivered to your door, Cool Hey?
I am sure everybody is waiting for Friday and the beginning of the Rugby world Cup in France. The guys and girls are getting together on Friday night at Paul's place to watch the opening ceremony and game between France and Argentina. So I have stolen something that has been floating around from the cybercellar.com site for your enjoyment.
DEAR WOMEN*List of Rules (Read and print them)*
1. From 7 Sept to 20 October 2007, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the Rugby World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During the Rugby World Cup, the television is mine, the VCR and DVD are all mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse at the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).
3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the Rugby World Cup month.
4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require are fill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen.
5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between12pm and 3pm, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.
6. Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a game", or "don't worry,they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about rugby than me and your so called "words of encouragement"will only lead to a break up or divorce.
Dear Men
List of Rules (Read them, understand them, and do not forget them – printing only wastes paper!)
Thank you for your recent letter pertaining to the World Cup – a little verbose, but concise thinking was never your strong point :-)
From 07 Sept to 20 Oct, if you didn’t already realise it, newspapers in their totality will be the sports section – what else of more importance could there possibly be to talk about for those 6 weeks?
No problem about you having the TV et al … I’m off to Paris on the 06th and will return on the 21st with the Springbok Team … trophy in hand!
“Month”? The Rugby World Cup is in fact over 42 days … do you not know ANYTHING?
You say this as though you are generally not blind, deaf, and mute?
Six packs … now, we have a problem here. Your “six pack” that existed when we married seems to have developed into a “one bulge” over the years … as for keeping it in the fridge, the mind boggles! Something to nibble on? Funny faces? I’m not going there!
Please, please, please … get over yourself … I already know more about rugby than you, so please don’t lay claim to the Boks as YOUR team … true to The New South Africa, the constitution, equality of the sexes et al … the Boks are MY team!!
Very gracious of you, but I already have front row seats at all the games! As for spending time together, I did think about letting you have the second ticket to Paris that I won, but I thought I’d take Great Aunty Mabel instead … she hardly gets out these days and does sooooo look forward to a good shout at the ref!
Yes, I realise that with your new glasses and your dodgy hearing aid, repetition has become more important to you recently. By all means record and watch away … I’ll be in the dressing room after the games discussing the inconsistencies of the ref’s decisions with Jake.
Child related parties …. ooops … didn’t I tell you? I’ve arranged Munchkin’s birthday party for Saturday the 20th at 3pm (I know you HATE organising these things!) … her whole class is coming round for tea, cakes and games … the jumping castle is booked, but I wasn’t in time to secure the clown, only the clown outfit … you’ll have to doll up to entertain Munchkin and her buddies for about 80 minutes, but you’ll be able to have a 15 minute break in the middle … hope that’s all OK? She is sooooo looking forward to it! (And don’t cut it short to 60 minutes, you KNOW how important the last ten minutes is to Munchkin!)
Sunday you’ll be cleaning up after Munchkin’s party!
Well I suppose you’ll have to find something to do every night while I’m partying with John (aka Barney) and the boys! (Ref point number 2 on the list!)
Thank goodness the World Cup is only every 4 years indeed! It gives me time to recover from the last one in time to book tickets for the next one … watching it all on TV is soooooo overrated!
I promise not to complain about your caveman look as long as you promise not to complain about my Paris look … with the exchange rate as it is against the Euro these days, what you save on shaving cream and razor blades over the duration is hardly likely to cover my extra-curricular shopping activities in the Champs Elysees!!
Thanks for your understanding.

So lets all have a good time and some great memorable World Cup moments this year and please share them with me on my blog.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
