Today was "The Rugby", SA against USA. Henry and I decided we were going to find some place that screened the game. The girl in the office(who was very familiar with every bar in town) advised "The British Open Pub" with vague directions to get there. After a fruitless search time was running out when we stumbled on some other pub, Henry went in to ask directions, came out 2 minutes later, some chic offered to show us where it was saying follow her white truck. a white bakkie pulled out of a parking spot at great speed followed by another white bakkie coming round the corner, believe it or not but before we got going a third white bakkie was in the que. I was frantically trying to keep an eye on the front runner when a hand came out and pointed to a shopping center, we eventually pulled up next to her and she said it is in this center. Well it took another 10 minutes before we found "the British Open Pub", the Boks were 7-0 in the lead when we entered the pub. Long story short we saw the game and the Boks did us all proud at the expense of the USA... Of course after the game Henry wanted to thank the lady in the white bakkie for her kind help, first we had to find "the other pub", well we did, Henry went in to find the kind lady, her name was Ria and by now somewhat inebriated, well Henry bought her a drink as a thank you and explained to her and the fellow inebriates the South African connection, of course by now SA has many new fans.
