The Stonehouse rock in SA rugby's foundation: Mongalo hails 'Coach Jimmy' for new Sharks signing
Diego Appollis. (Photo by Dirk Kotze/Gallo Images) Sharks Currie Cup coach Joey Mongalo has hailed the huge role played by the Pumas and Co in developing players in the South African rugby ecosystem. Diego Appollis, a prodigious midfielder at junior level who has revived his career under Jimmy Stonehouse, was signed this week by the Sharks. Former Baby Bok skipper George Cronje has also used his…

What is the rugby drama 👀
I don’t watch rugby but I love drama 🤩
Dearest anon (and the several others who sent similar asks):
Buckle up for the most hilarious “we are sore losers so we’re creating a racism scandal that never was” drama, as brought to you by the england rugby team
South Africa played England in the semifinal of the rugby world cup on Saturday evening. England were leading the entire game and with ten minutes to play SA was 9 points down, but ended up winning with 1 point.
After the game it comes out that Tom Curry (left), england flanker, approached the ref during the game to complain that Bongi Mbonambi (right) had called him a racial slur. The slur in question? White cunt
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now three things are immediately obvious to anyone with any knowledge about SA:
Cunt simply isnt a word South Africans use. Had he complained about being called a doos or a poes? Yeah fair. But cunt? It just doesnt make any sense for a South African to use cunt as an insult when the word is practically nonexistent in our lexicon
The South African team speaks Afrikaans on the field. You can hear them on the ref mic all the time. They have always done it as a way to communicate without other teams understanding and figuring out their play calls
In rugby, teams on field are referred to by jersey colour, the ref will shout things like “green use it! White stay back. 15 white is offside” etc. and England, the team playing in all white kits are naturally “white” when being referred to on field, and it has nothing to do with their pasty white asses
Now, in Afrikaans, the languages spoken by SA on field, wye kant/wit kant sounds a lot like white cunt in english, but translates as wide side or white side. There is no sound from the moment tommy boy is specifically complaining about, you can only hear him speaking to the ref, nothing from Bongi himself but in several other moments throughout the game you can hear various springbok players saying both wye kant or wit kant depending on the situation
But now, instead of the springboks being able to prepare for the final against New Zealand this weekend, they need to have this ridiculous investigation by world rugby, while every English media outlet has branded our vice captain a racist despite every South African with a soc med account telling them that there is simply no way a South African would insult you using the word cunt and it was obviously Afrikaans referring to the kant/side
So yeah, apparently white cunt is a racist slur, and teams are only allowed to speak english in case one of those sensitive monolingual souls takes offence at what youre discussing in your own language 🙄
Anyway heres the springboks during the previous wc, after winning against the wit kant in the final 🤭

Possessive Sun holding you close but even tighter when someone's talking to you. Possessive Sun ensuring your attention is on him and only him. Obsessive Sun that knows where you are at all times in the Plex because he's hacked the cameras. Obsessive Sun that keeps everything you gift him, safe and sound, in his little room where he can stare at it for hours after closing, feeding his obsession more and more

Fighting for my life trying to cook in my parents kitchen last night.
Got in a fight when I blocked my mother from putting a can of corn in the butter chicken I had been cooking for 2 hours
#it had been a long time since i went to a neighbor for an ingredient. heyyyy brianne i saw you outside and was wondering if you had like#a 1/4 cup of flour i could steal?#what house doesnt keep flour stocked up#the same that raised an idiot who didnt knock the side of the flour jar to make sure the flour wasnt just set at and angle#looking at it i was like yeah theres like 4 cups in there easy. .....oh no. please god i only need 1.1/2 cups of flour please please please#my curry had fresh herbs and 3 bell peppers and a whole bundle of celery and 2 fancy tomatoes. roasted. boiled. hand blended.#left to simmer to get rid a bit of the liquid. and my mother. enters my domain. and tried to add canned corn to my final product.#i HATE canned corn. but the fucking audacity. the disrespect.#i kept grabbing things i needed and realized like 10 minutes in what a mistake i had made#grabbing bowls. spatulas. knives. ROLLING PINS. measuring cups and spoons. and theyre ALL DIRTY#STOP PUTTING THINGS AWAY THAT STILLHAVE FOOD ON THEM#WHY AM I SCRAPPING OLD FOOD OFF A ROLLING PIN WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER#i made a butter chicken. the rice and homemade naan bread. and by the end i had filled a half of the dishwasher with just found dirty items.#someone made something with fat and cocoa in the metal bowl and just put it through the washer and put it away without looking???#this house feels so fake. not meant to live in. just an ingredient for shame and order#when i moved home. no broom. no cleaning rags. they just used the kitchen dish rags 🤢. no household tools except for a baggie of allen keys#all the chairs and couches are pure white and hurt to sit on for long periods#everything causes discomfort and all the counters are only as tall as my thighs. even the newly renovated ones

I've seen so many videos of American tourists going to Japanese cafes (especially themed cafes) and complaining about the price/portion size
And it just straight up baffles me
Like any other place you're paying to go that's not just straight food, you're paying for the experience. It's not really about the food, it's about the design of the food. It's about the cuteness. It's about seeing the theme come to life in front of you.
It's not about eating a full meal. It's about having fun.
