Bad Planning
I'm watching the rugby tonight. In South Africa, yes. But I'm watching it with about a dozen or so hardcore rugby followers, who will all probably wear green and gold. Even the non-sport loving women. And there will be me, quietly in the corner chewing on an ostrich burger whilst willing Jason Robinson and Jonny Wilkinson to decimate the Springboks.
I'll do that in silence, of course.
South Africa's crime rate isn't the best in the world, and I fear that tonight I will find this out first hand. Either verbal abuse, should SA win, or physical abuse, should England perform their third miracle and defeat a top side. My patriotism is at war with my inbuilt survival instinct... what a wretched man I am, to totally quote Paul out of context.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place; out of the frying pan and into the fire... and I'm now out of metaphors now that adequately convey my situation. Please take note of the song I'm listening to below. And pray for me. Even if you are an atheist, get on your knees and pray for me. And I'll try to check in if I've made it through the night.
I've just had a revelation. Some of my South African 'friends' might be reading this....

Heh heh heh. Is it just me that finds your predicament reeeeally funny?! I think not :P
Anyway, on a nicer note, you'll be fine. I'm sure. No, really, I am sure.
*ahem*
If England win then remind your SA friends that they need to extend grace and favour to you as a Christian witness.
Sorry, best I can do.
(Is this an important game then??)
Your going to dieeeeeeeee
As if you ever really had anything to worry about. These are English sportsmen... forever destined to run down a sports field , fall over and give possession of the ball to the opposition, football, rugby, hockey, it doesn't matter which sport.
decimate.
I didn't know you did "humour" on your blag.
lol ant out of metaphorical comments within his blog.......you must have your mind on other things :)
England saved you the need for an escape plan, but I'm glad I wasn't there to soak up the SA gloating with a fixed Christian smile pretending not to care.
(as you know Ant I actually don't care as it is only rugby, which is only one step up from football to which I am completely indifferent)
Ant please post something I'm starting to worry as we've heard nothing since before the final lol
