PROFILE - MAT "SNOW WHITE" ADENDORFF

A man that goes by various aliases dof, rat, wave pirate, Mattalitharon, Gareth Cliff - this man can be seen running around the Bryanston area during weekdays after 16h00. Having received his tertiary education at Tukkies he entered the working world as a car salesman and is steadily climbing the corporate ladder.

A passionate sportsman his interests include cricket, rugby, golf and running. If this was a MCQ question and asked what he has excelled in the answer would be (d) none of the above. Matt’s real attributes are his ostentatious and comments which he uses to great effect in digs conversations.

A man that has changed his stars having made his way from his humble birth at a government hospital in South Beach Durban, Matthew’s compulsion of owning cool, shiny stuff reiterates his material march of materialism. His shad fishing days at Blue Lagoon with his dear friends Altaaf and Govender firmed his latent love for fishing.

Matthew has never been a game fisherman settling for freshwater fish and whatever he can get his hands on up in the Highveld. His bait as of late though has not seen a lot of bites so has resorted to reading up on the handling of snakes. Earning the recent nickname of Jake “The Snake” we eagerly await the next reptilian report.

Viewed as many as the party guy in the digs, Matt’s recent commitment to the running fraternity has slowed his bobbage rate considerably. Having competed in the Two Oceans 56km this man’s goals are set for the Kingsmead, Durban finish in his effort to finally earn his respect and love from his long line of runner’s in his family.

His recent dramatic loss of weight - along with his skinny legs, are the primary concern for the rest of the Eccleston 8 on his way to the 89km that wait this man down in the KZN. A man that generates lekker laughs, the initiator of 90210 banter and the appreciator of hip hop and pimping his ride Dof is a lekker oke…. when he’s dossing.

James “Jambles” Charton

 

043

A son of the Mother City this larger than life individual recently did the Groot Trek up to Gangsters Paradise in search of fame and glory. He is yet to accomplish either.

An accountant by trade his affinity for numbers and checks and balances governs this mans ellusive nocturnal behaviour. Often seen hunched over his PC blogginnnn, facebookinnn, twitterinnnn and chattinnnn. Rumours have surfaced that he is the leader of an extremely successful CLAN (a community of insomniac internet gamers obsessed with Warcraft).

His proudest moment was his 27th place finish out of 300,000 SuperBRU entrants during the 2008 Super 14. His parents are so proud. A keen golfer his recent shotgun approach off the tee leaves much to be desired although has sparked a new interest in identifying indigenous and exotic trees.

His rather obscure views of the world and topics such as religion, rugby and 2Oceans Vibe are the centre of many heated but interesting digs debates. His inability to let go from his student years is blatently reflected by his obsession with the UCT Ikeys Tigers and Nadoes – an honourary life member his seat is reserved on the halfway line of the green mile.

HIs insatiable appetite and lack of sufficient mastication is the cause for much concern in the digs although his recent committment to partake in the 2015 Duzi canoe Marathon has settled these quarms.

A solid reliable fella Jambles continues to amuse the masses with his unique sense of humour and indubadable personality. Next time you see him ask him to show you his Investec card. BOOM!

PROFILE: ETIENNE "VINCEY" KARSTEN

 

vincy

Ettiene adds a bit of cultural diversity to the house which consists largely of people who can speak English. His Afrikaans upbringing ensured that he would be a loyal supporter of the Blou Bulle through thick and mostly thin. He has actually added even more cultural diversity with his delicious Japanese stir-fry. (I personally think he must have just bought it at a restaurant and claimed it as his own!)

 vince

His strong character has meant he was able excel in the sporting arena despite his underprivileged schooling in the small town of Paarl (also home of Paarl Gym a famous rugby school). His golfing abilities ensured that he was able to attend College in the US of A. His Saffa accent no doubt contributed to many great nights over there, and he has continued his great batting form in the home of the Highveld Strikers where he has the comfortably scored the most runs in garage cricket.

In terms of his cricket career (mentioned above) it has been rumored amongst certain circles that he once paid a bowler (or two) to bowl it in the slot [Bowlers name's : Albie and Morne - related by the way]. Vincey vehemently denies this rumor and cannot fathom where this back fence talk may have originated from.

On the subject of sport, Vincey has been able to convert the many backhands he has received at Manhattan's on a Friday night into lethal backhands on the table tennis front. I am predicting that based on that form that he could soon be throwing glasses at his opponents across the table.

Interesting Facts:

- So smooth he slides uphill

- Valentines day comes twice a year for this eligible bachelor

It was just a handbag!

This is one of the greatest bits of refereeing we have seen in the modern era.

It takes a while to build up, but the wait is worth it. Skip to about 2mins if you are impatient. SOUND A MUST!
