I’m sure you’re well familier with the very old saying…
small things amuse small minds…
Yes… I know, we teased each other as kids with that one. Only thing… I was scarred for life… and now I want revenge! So… just before I get to the revenge bit, here’s another take on the small things angle. As mentioned yesterday… homeward on a wet evening, I put my camera to use. I took this snap as we were passing beneath a footbridge… and later noticed the corona effect… which I like. (Corona effect… maybe halo effect??)
I’m not sure if a mono version will work better… but once again, I leave the choice up to you….
And now for my revenge… I’m gonna share another internet beauty. Pardon the slant, pardon the semi-vulgar word… but boy-oh-boy, I enjoy this image! For those of you who don’t know the back story, this did the rounds after South Africa beat (rather read thrashed) England in the Rugby World Cup!! Yes, we were supposed to be the losers… the one-dimensional, unimaginative team playing well out of our league.
PS – Note… the Queen was speaking Afrikaans… that’s why the spelling looks a tad off… just as well!
PPS – OK, I know… I’ve used we/ our… as in we won the WC. Yep, I’ll always be a South African, where ever I may find myself in this world of ours.
PPPS – I wrote a piece about the lessons learned from this world cup winning team… you can click here to read. Please do, and let me know what you think about the commentary… thanks!
PPPPS – Did you really think I wasn’t going to say something about being triple world champs?
PPPPPS – Happy Friday… as always, don’t do what I wouldn’t!
Ek lΓͺ soos ek lag vir die Kwien se gesig!
Besondere fotoβs… altwee is mooi.

Perhaps you know it already, AJ, but the “My Fok Engeland” is a play on this hilarious video from earlier in the year, incidentally also on a rugby field:
For a while everyone in South Africa, Afrikaans-speakers or not, were having great fun with it at the expense of every Marilize around, including my wife… π
And it perfectly illustrates the way that World Cup game went for England
