24 days till kickoff and the football energy is quickly picking up steam. While the run up to the FIFA World Cup 2010 has been slightly quiet, it is certainly not going to stay that way for long. When the big names start arriving I think that the “reality haze” will be lifted and we will fully comprehend that things are a GO!
Yes indeed it seems that there are more and more football jerseys around and that the vuvuzelas are becoming more cacophonous by the day. It seemed to start with the taxi drivers in Sea Point. They drive up and down blowing those things like mad. While I’m sure it must be annoying lots of residents of the area, I think to a certain degree it is vital to get the mood going….just not at 2 in the morning when they start blowing them hahaha…that is simply OTT.
Yesterday I wrote a rather negative blog about the Good Food and Wine show. I mentioned how it was disappointing and that in many ways I expected more from the show. Oh and then there was my dismay at the OTTGordon Ramsay stage entrance through the smoke. Yes indeed I had much to gripe about. However I did mention that I had a lot of fun too. Which may have been mostly the wine that was in my system, but hey, whatever helps I suppose!
Now before I carry on you must understand I am not a fan of alcohol. In fact I seldom drink, unless of course it’s a glass of wine with dinner. However every now and then it’s ok to let loose, with a designated driver close at hand of course….and in my case, a loving girlfriend to reign me in when I start bothering strangers! DRINK RESPONSIBLY!
Ok moving on. I thought I’d share with you some of my highlights and WTH moments from the event.
First up I had to laugh at the Princess brand, who have quite a yummy range of pesto. Reason being, they made their assistants dress up like little whimsical angels…now this was giggle worthy enough, but when I saw that the poor bloke who was working the stand also got sucked into wearing angel wings I had to take a picture…luckily the Princess pesto man is blurred in this image, so at least his identity is safe from public scorn…not that he didn’t get bombarded enough during the event I suppose. Honestly it takes a rather brave dude to take one for the team like this. I salute you Princesspesto angel man.
