Eish, bit of a blind one. Horner's out from the States for the week so we met at his folks' place for breakfast and to watch the SA-NZ game (the latter being the primary reason Horner granted us the audience).
Later this afternoon I took the bike round to Gary's place to catch up with them and watch the Province-Bulls game. Rugby at Gary's was a bit of a tradition before Horner went over to the US to finish his degree. Somehow I picked up the wrong end of the story at breakfast this morning. When I showed up at Gary's it turned out that the two of them were going to watch the game live. My fault for not calling to confirm. All the more embarrassing because his family was there and very kindly suggested that I stay and watch the match regardless. Without carefully screening my response I replied something to the effect of "I'm not really here for the rugby so much as the company."
Needless to say, everyone pointed out what I'd implied :-P
