* A Chelsea player is stopped for speeding at 130mph in a 30mph zone. When the police ask him to explain, he says: “I’ve just heard John Terry is parked outside my house.”

* John Terry has been lined up to star in a new ITV drama. It’s called Other Footballers’ Wives.

* Poor Wayne Bridge – he’s not even first choice with his his wife.

Another gem from our friends over at Perry Fellowship Bible – who you can visit here.

Thanks to the Perry Fellowship Bible for their warped sense of humor. Visit them here for more craziness. [If you rub the picture with your cursor it gets bigger. Or just click on it.]

Online entries are now open at www.knysnamarathonclub.co.za

There is  a possibility of a change of venue, as Loerie Park will not be ready due to the fact that Knysna will be hosting Denmark and France. A venue has been identified, but final information will be forwarded at a later stage once this has been confirmed.

All indications are that it will be a sold out event again and numbers will be limited in order to make your experience as memorable as possible. Do not delay and enter as soon as you can!

If your going to be running, please leave a comment so that we can try all hook up for a beer.

With World Cup Final on the 11 July, the gees is sure to be amazing….

Probably one of the best websites – besides ours – I’ve seen in ages. This URL popped accross my desktop late last year and the song has stuck since then. So… I thought I’d share the love, enjoy.

Go on, get on my horse!

And just in case you wanted the words:

“Look at my horse. My horse is amazing. Give it a lick.
Mmmm it tastes just like raisins.

At the stroke of its mane it turns into a plane and then it turns back again when you tug on its winky.
Ooh that’s dirty.

Do you think so? Well I better not show you where the lemonade is made. Sweet lemonade. Mmmm sweet lemonade. Sweet lemonade. Yeah sweet lemonade

Get on my horse. I’ll take you round the universe. And all the other places too.
I’ll think that you’ll find that the universe pretty much covers everything.
Shut up women get on my horse.”

First there was Mrs Balls inviting you to eat her balls. Now it’s the Bakers’ Man who’s asking you to munch on his balls! They’ve got a whole new range of biscuits, one of which is seriously named “Eat sum more balls.” Seriously.

Check them out…

I also like to see that they don’t have any prejudice for Gingers!

A good few season’s ago – almost about the time The Shebeen Boys came to be in fact (circa 2003) – the tradition of The Pink Pant© were/was born. What are/is The Pink Pant© you may ask and why the heck does some fashion-conscious Shebeen Boy get to wear them during game time?

Legend has it that a few beers had been drunk – possibly in one of the world-famous Shebeen Boy Tunnel PartiesTM – when it was decided that the player who had either (a) had a blinder or (2) played like a blind man, would wear The infamous Pink Pant© the next game the Green MachineTM took to the field, so that they could stand out for the spectators to admire.

It is with great affection that The Shebeen Boys recently discovered that The Pink Pant© tradition has been adopted at FNB Varsity Cup level (obviously some wizened old cunning marketer-guy or joke-cracking creative-type had been to the Green Mile during UCT’s internal league the last few years and had the plagiarising light of a eureka moment switched on).

In all seriousness The Shebeen Boys are proud to see The Pink Pant© idea living on as a support for Breast Cancer (since when do rugby players have breasts). Who knew such a beer-fuelled bit of fun would end up saving lives. So what’s our next big idea?

See these articles for how The Pink Pant© has been adopted by the FNB Varsity Cup:

The Shebeen 2010 recruitment drive has begun, anyone who’d like to join our club please contact info@shebeenboys.co.za. If you’d like to have a look at the Shebeen vibe, pop in for a touch session (that’s touch rugby:) ) which happens every Sunday at 17h00 on the Lutgensvale fields (down Sandown Road, left into Oakvale, the fields are right in front of you)

After a toughly fought out battle against the Galetti Fourths, Shebeen took the honors and managed to chase down 228 with 2 wickets in hand after being 108/5 at one stage. The match was played in great spirit with the likes of Kyle ‘WP’ attaining Shebeen’s only 50 in the match and Gary ‘There it goes’ Fouche getting 4 wickets due to some fantastic catching in the outfield by Chris ‘Fast Arm’ Vella if I say so myself.

1 nil up in the 2010 series we look forward to the return leg at the end of the year. Check out some pics on FlickR on the right.
