I say goddamn the last year has gone quickly, my space on the net will be a year old shortly and that means I qualify for the upcoming SA Blog awards under the category best SA Blog written by a South African abroad. Dats me outties and after my last post I thought why not get in on the act! The Dawg will be getting my vote in this category and unless he gets stitched up by an aunty living in London writing about food then I think he should walk away with the honours.

However if you, after reading this, being my mate and all, want to nominate me for this category I would be much obliged. Just email sablogawards@gmail.com  and inform them, no, tell them that you want to nominate Wozafriday for the Best Blog written by a South African Abroad. The prize money is R10,000 in casino vouchers, I will walk into a casino and put it all on the Red, if I win all the money will go to a charity of your choice, if I lose then I leave with nothing. I’ll let you know how it goes but no doubt you’ve already guessed the outcome.

Oh, my vote for best blog will go to Chumpstyle with Splattermail getting the most humorous blog vote. 

If you’re interested in checking it out, this post got the award last year for post of the year, one amazing piece of nostalgic writing.

After almost a year of running this site I thought I’d remind you about some of the posts I’ve bashed into the keyboard to date.

Bombay and my operation

FA Cup Final

Dubai

Washington DC

Live 8 in Hyde Park

Oktoberfest

Tallinn Estonia

Interviewed by Discovery Channel

Paris Rugby trip

I don’t even think that covers half of the places and things I did last year not to mention all the london piss-ups and partys I went to like Zomes in Hospital, Manors maketh the Party, Tugboats, Convertibles and Kramerisms, Party with Kelly Osbourne etc etc ad infinitum

Not to mention all the political posts  - The Right to Vote, Its a BOOM, Jacob and the lucky packet etc etc

And of course all the sports posts and fun lovin rugby ones. I’ve always wanted a diary but never had the self discipline, having a look thru some of these posts has brought memories flooding back. “Life is a journey, not a destination!” according to the Nissan advert Mr Miyagi.

Out in Austria we managed to get into a club were the infamous DJ Spicer was playing, I managed to get this shot of him before the bouncers threw me out!

My favourite sporting competion begins next weekend, the Super 14! I can’t wait, I haven’t really got much on the go this weekend so ideally I’d like to be able to gather the troops and head to Zulus in Putney for a few snakey’s and some SA comraderie round the big screen. Well its not ALL doom and gloom this weekend as I wait for the Super 14 to begin. There is a little competion called the 6 Nations starting this weekend. My pick for 6 Nations, easy, France by the length of a rugby field, it’ll be like taking a rugby ball from Pieter Roussouw.   

MY Super 14 pick is a little harder, I think the Stormers will surprise most this season by finishing top of the SA teams closely followed by the Sharks. Bulls will finish mid table and Cats will get pillared. Get this people, an SA team will win the Super 14 this year, mark my words!

PS: This new version of Wordpress is starting to piss me off, I can’t upload images in full size format anymore, it’ll only let me do thumbnail size, need to sort it fast……Grayskulllllllll..help……….
