Sandak - in the right direction!
Haha... well I had a brilliant weekend. There is nothing like spending time with your own kind... Being at one with people from home... Singing Agh Please Daddy... Eating biltong and drinking beer ( oh and champagne from the "Sloane Ranger" - see definition if you are a little unsure" )
Definition: The term Sloane Ranger (often pluralised to just Sloanes or Sloanies) originally referred to the lifestyle of young upper- and upper-middle-class men and women living in West London. The term is a word play combining "Sloane Square", the fashionable and wealthy area of London most associated in the public imagination with Sloanes, and the TV character "The Lone Ranger". The term "Sloane Ranger" was attached in the public imagination most particularly to women, the archetypal Sloane being Lady Diana Spencer, however the term is now also applied to men. Male Sloanes have also been referred to as "Hooray Henries" (though strictly speaking this term applies only to a louder, more-noticeable subset of Sloane Ranger males).
I definitely think it is a Safffa/Zimbo thing that combine a few of us in a pub, stick a few beers down us and a good rugby match and theres the perfect concoction for an absolute bender and the oppurtunity to make life long friends. (well I hope any way...)
Unfortunate that the Bulls after so awfully having to share their Currie Cup with the horrible excuse of a rugby team called the Cheetahs - ooh I hear half of South Africa shouting at me... lol...
Guys, thanks for a great evening x It was brilliant getting to know all of you...
I cant believe I broke a heel and my housemates had to meet me at the station. Oh well.. Alls fair in love and war!

How did Quentin land up with us? He kept on doing that weird dance move by putting his left hand on his right elbow and doing this crazy wave with his right hand...
haha... Absolute Legend...

The Sloane Ranger? Would this be "The White Horse" on Parsons Green? Also known as "The Sloaney Pony"??
