As you all know by now, I spent a good day of fun in the sun at the cricket yesterday at Newlands cricket ground. What a day at work! I was quite pleased with the dancers they had brought out to dance when a four or a six was hit. I think they may have danced when a wicket was taken as well, but the cricket was the last thing on my mind.
We chilled out for a bit in our seats, but then decided we wanted more of an atmosphere so we left for the grass(Or the grassy knoll, John) where all the action was happening. We had a beer in the sun, which bubbled straight up into my head and I felt a bit funny. The cure for this was a nice double vodka and coke in the shade at Kelvin Grove. We took the walk to Kelvin Grove where we were met by the most hilarious estate agent I have ever met! He was clearly just waiting for Sunday to swing round, where he would sit in a house from 2pm – 5pm and then he is free to mingle for another week. Which reminds me I must do my estate agents course next year. Remind me, I’m keen.
The highlight of the day was not the cricket but rather the crowd there, who were quite hammered! There were people stumbling around in drunken hazes, not knowing who was playing or who they were! I had an awesome time.
If you want to find out about the cricket, check out Supersport or News24. But you know that here at SLXS, it’s all about the excess! So here I present you with some photos from a day well spent. And so some of the people were spent as well! Beer, sun and fun. Dammit Cape Town, you are not bringing summer in gently, you are throwing it in at a rapid pace! And for that…I love you.
Later in the day it was quite evident that a few naughty kids had consumed a couple beers too many and were now trying to make a train out of it. You should have seen what happened when it dropped and they started throwing the cups! Hilarious.
SOBER!
Then there was our hero with this T-shirt. Congratulations! It is a fine rum. If you add an “N” to the end of the name and change the “P” to a “B”, you might care to see a doctor. But that is neither here nor there.
Thumbs up dude!
Obviously being a thirsty little boy, I needed to quench that thirst somehow. A draught was not looking quenching enough, and so I settled for trying to pick the lock to all the kegs. I fear the little blonde darling in the background did not find this funny at all. But I was so thirsty! And look at all that hydration right in front of me!
Must…hydrate…Fight Club body…
I thought the Forensic Science Laboratory “Explosives Unit” seemed a little excessive. But I suppose it was a good day off for the boys chilling in the sun. Now get back to work!
Excessive…just the way we roll!
I have for many years thought that a life of crime is the best way to make money. This whole concept of “work” does not suit me. Or anyone for that matter. And at the cricket, my opportunity was sitting on wheels. It was a Standard Bank ATM, inside a van! Can you think of an easier way of driving off with money? I don’t think I can! It was so tempting, but the beer had made me a bit slow to take off behind the wheel.
Sometimes it’s just easier to steal
And so another day goes by at SLXS that sees us maxing it out in Cape Town.
Love and sunshine Cape Town. And thanks to Newlands cricket ground, you treated us like a son once again.
