Englishmen Behaving Badly

Since arriving in Cape Town every night's sleep has been disturbed through incidents (normally vuvuzelas) outside on long street.

However, last night was particularly bad, with drunken English fans chanting menacingly all night. The police are regularly on hand, but last night, probably based on the reputation of the English supporters) Long Street is full of police cars and vehicles, and indeed by midnight the street is cordoned off for an hour or so and alcohol consumption fuels the chants and abuse being dished out.

Usually my MP3 player is able to drown out the noise, but it fails on this occasion. England play Algeria here in Cape Town tonight at 8.30pm. I’m totally embarrassed to be associated with these “fans”.

I’m off out to play with the Great White sharks today, but will be back in time for the match tonight.
