Doctor Khumalo says: November 27, 2009 at 10:03 am "Workyticket @ # 30. Sorry for the late reply, you’re right about Amazulu being based in Kwazulu Natal, Durban based side. " That takes me all the way back to my school days, Doctor (a long time ago in my case!). We had a South African fella come into the geography classes and he taught us, among other things, that Natal is the home of most things 'Zulu' . I've met alot of South Africans since that time, but they've taught me bugger all about the place really! Re the temperature, isn't it pretty reasonable over there in most places? Of course, being Southern Hemisphere down there, it will be winter when the big one's on. I think I've seen Moses Mabhida Stadium on the TV from your arch description. If I'm not mistaken, the arch looks alot like the Tyne Bridge and the stadium itself has a crimped roof? If that's the one, it looks quite elegant and is a fair old size.

Those battered Swans? Do they come with chips and a cup of tea?

Workyticket @ # 30. Sorry for the late reply, you’re right about Amazulu being based in Kwazulu Natal, Durban based side. In fact Sunday is the KZN derby between Amazulu and Maritzburg Utd in the new Moses Mabhida Stadium which has a Wembley arch and will be a venue during the world cup. I would say if England get to play any of their games in Durban they will have huge support due to the amount of expats who live there and would almost be like playing at home, and not too hot for them either.

Chusck, Workey – Re Sandancers…… Chuck seems to have a good grasp of Shields history and lore .

May I suggest that Wilson, Keppel and Betty may not have originated the term ‘Sand Dancers’ but merely adopted the vernacular term into their act.

Another aspect to Shields and its visitors…. its Yemeni community is the longest established in the UK and……… Mohamed Ali had his marriage blessed under Islam in the Laygate mosque! Now that really is a good pub-quiz question eh?

Workey, just back from watching the film “The Road” grim!
But having read the novel, no surprize there, actually it was a decent film, unlike the usual shit emanating from Hollywood.
So like what am i gannen on aboot like ?
Simple really, post that have overt or covert racist or sectarian content.
Happens all the time, some are read between the lines others by those too dumb to realize that it`s really not acceptable.
Most plead innocent, denying it when questioned, others become abusive and some evasive, dont care actually, just as long as they get the message.
If thats a problem for you then you can always prevent my comments.
Hey takes the heat from you, not having to be the PC police.
