@NiallHarbison Oo, Billy's parents sound like they're from South Africa? I've been following his story from the beginning, all the way from Cape Town, and I thought 'That accent sounds familiar ๐ค '.
You and everyone who works with you do an incredible job, @NiallHarbison. You really do.
@dbbovey My dad said, 'She's good ref, actually. ' And I said, 'Dad, she would have to be.' For a woman to get to that stage, to be the pioneer, she'd have to work harder and be better than the guys.
My husband is currently queueing to buy gas in Cape Town (Winter with a capital W is here). He's just heard the woman behind him telling a stranger: "I have to wait 'coz I can't go home and explain to the cats that we have no gas !"
@MusicExsa I've just listened to Katie Melua doing a cover of The Cure's Just Like Heaven and thought Zolani would absolutely slay that version (or any version she chooses, obviously).
@TweeetsOfDogs I think of it as a privilege to be the one who spends those last moments with any being who is passing. Hard, yes. But also a privilege.
@TSM_2020 To be fair, though, a 'thug' who has only received what, three yellow cards in 117 Tests for the Boks? He keeps his cool more than he doesn't these days.
The Sunday morning after a Bok loss is never great, but this morning's patina of bleak is made infinitely worse by the fact that so many of my go-to sources of cultural solace are Irish. Thank God (she thought, not for the first time) for Bruce.
@solesolidarity@amit6060@Enezator The word you're looking for is unconditional. Unconditional love means loving without expectation of anything in return.
@dbbovey It's good, but my fav of all time is still Jeronimo de la Fuente, Argentinian centre. You can just see the bodice-ripper book cover or the opening sequence to the smash-hit telemovela...
@RichardEGrant To add to the poignancy of your message, the only book I can see behind you is by Martin Amis. You have a great wide net of people holding you, Richard. I hope you can sense that.
