Man, how lekker would a big bacon and eggs breakfast have been this morning? But what with all the swine flu going around, BK has decided to stay away from bacon, pork sausages or any product related to pork. It was also a good excuse to stay away from certain individuals behaving like pigs…

Of course it is a good opportunity to take some sick leave – you just have to sneeze once or cough a little bit and you get sent home for three days! Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying it’s not a serious “pandemic”, I mean there must be at least 61 people that have died from it all together worldwide. Almost like the great bird flu pandemic of 2007 when 160 people died and millions and millions of dollars got spent on Tamiflu, made by Gilead Sciences. So who was the CEO of Gilead from 1997 to 2001? And when he stepped down, did he keep his shares in the company? But I’ll leave the heavy thinking up to you clever people out there, BK just wants to say that the bird flu story completely put me off eating chooks for life. Which is not important because according to some, chicken is a vegetable…

On a completely different note, BK will be braving the cold and rain to cheer the Blues on Friday when they play their last game for the 2009 Super 14. Yes, the defeat against the Brumbies last weekend was the nail in the coffin of the so-called mathematical chance they still had, and only pride is on the line for Friday. Not that there’s a lot of that left after a season of disappointments - at least they hold the new record for the most bonus points collected – for what that’s worth!

Bosveldgroete!
