\"Braai\"<\/p>\n

A while back I spent a couple of days with Sam ForFree. Now in Sam\u2019s presence the whole world seems funny! By way of introduction Sam ForFree is my web guru who helped me put my blog together and every time I need a new feature or an upgrade Sam is there to take my call and help (except between 2am and 6am).<\/p>\n

In light of my Customer, Waiter and Complaint analysis Sam believes there are 5 distinct individuals you will find around every South African Braai (That is the local term for a BBQ). There is the Sports Fan, The Ex Rece, The Ladies Man, The Mechanic, and The \u201cI wish I was at home reading a book\u201d Guy.<\/p>\n

The Sports Fan<\/strong>\"Sport
\nThis guy has been there, seen that and bought the T-Shirt. Personally he has never kicked, caught or thrown a ball in his life but there is nothing he doesn\u2019t know about any sport including but not restricted to Zorbing. There is no statistic he can\u2019t correct you on and no coach who couldn\u2019t benefit from his wisdom. He supports Australian Cricket, New Zealand Rugby, Manchester United, Nadal at the French Open, Federer at Wimbledon and in fact just about anyone who will probably win. He drinks Castle because that is THE sponsors brew.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>\"TheThe Ex Rece<\/strong>
\nShort for Reconnaissance Division, an elite military unit, The Ex Rece will be wearing Khaki and sporting a Spyderco knife. He can kill a man at twenty paces just with a glance. He will start off very quietly but as the Klippies and Coke begins to disappear and the subject moves to violence, crime and what to do about it, you can expect him to come into his own. He keeps himself in tip top shape just in case his country ever needs to call on him again.<\/p>\n

The Ladies Man<\/strong>\"Ladies
\nWho in their right mind comes to a braai wearing THOSE clothes? All the labels are on the outside and his \u2018these are especially made to look old jeans cost more than even he can afford. He has a couple of sexist jokes to share and is quite sure the Rece\u2019s girlfriend has been secretly staring at him all the time. He just hopes the Ex Rece doesn\u2019t notice, after all he is a lover not a fighter. He will be drinking an imported beer or a glass of wine that he doesn\u2019t really enjoy but it makes him look good.<\/p>\n

\"MechanicThe Mechanic<\/strong>
\nEasy to spot by the grease that is so ingrained in his knuckles that even a roll of sandpaper wouldn\u2019t make the slightest difference. He knows cars! Not like you and I know cars, he knows them inside and out, in fact you may be wondering if he has in fact ever had carnal knowledge with one. You know the top speed and fuel consumption on a number of models and occasionally even pick up a Car magazine while you are waiting for your Bee-Emm to be serviced, this guys knows A<\/strong>ir Filter, B<\/strong>rake Line, C<\/strong>amber, D<\/strong>ifferential, E<\/strong>xhaust Manifold, F<\/strong>lywheel, G<\/strong>asket, H<\/strong>ydraulic System, I<\/strong>nhibitor, J<\/strong>umper Cables, K<\/strong>ingpin, L<\/strong>ateral Run Out and so on. He still can\u2019t believe the stopped making Lion and would drink Castrol Engine Oil if there weren\u2019t so many people around. Don\u2019t tell him what car you drive because he will proceed to tell you why you just dropped over 300k on a piece of sh!t.<\/p>\n

The \u201cI wish I was at home reading a book\u201d Guy<\/strong>\"Geek
\nThis is the new boyfriend of one of the sports fans wife\u2019s best friends. You didn\u2019t want him here and he doesn\u2019t want to be here. He would rather be reading a book or surfing the Internet right now, in fact he would rather be home pushing pins under his nails than listening to this rubbish. He will say absolutely NOTHING the entire visit and will not even be able to remember one person\u2019s name when he tries to lie to his girlfriend on the way home about how much he enjoyed himself. He will drink a soft drink and may even be spotted wiping the rim of the glass before he takes his first sip. He will probably go home at the end of the evening and write about the other guys at the braai in his blog!<\/p>\n

Sent to me as a comment from Lizette at contentcafe.co.za<\/a> thought I had to add this to my blog…<\/p>\n

Lol! Love it. I\u2019m like the last guy. As for women at the braai, you get the chic who\u2019s one of the guys. There\u2019s the uptight feminist who drinks only pure juice while using kinetic energy to keep the hot chicks away from her hubby. The alchol resistant cougar who drinks rum and coke. And finally, the one who\u2019s thinking about how everyone doesn\u2019t really want to be there and how she\u2019ll avoid an invite in future. <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
