It’s a special day today, and not just because of all the corny Star Wars jokes about the date (May the 4th be with you and all that). Our very own Queen of the Blog – the Ice Maiden herself – celebrates the successful completion of another trip around the Sun today.
The story behind Ice’s dramatic appearance here on Sharksworld a number of years ago is certainly an interesting one (depending on whose version of it you listen to)… In a site devoid of bees and lacking in sweet nectar, young Ice was considered the “prize flower” by those in the know and after many unsuccessful attempts to woo her over from her erstwhile blogging home, we finally convinced her to make the switch. The results speak for themselves and more than a few (male) bloggers have revealed to me, in strictest confidence, that they simply wouldn’t hang out here if it wasn’t for the presence of the charming and witty Queen Bee.
Anyway, all jokes aside, we’d like to wish a very happy birthday to our first lady and thank her for all her contributions over the last year. Happy Birthday, Ice. May the blessings pour down richly on you and your family this year.







Hope you have a great day Ice !

Seems the only one on here that knows my “TRUE” age!
@Ice (Comment 28) : He is just buying face
@Ice (Comment 16) : it is spot on
Happy birthday, bokkie! May the best years of your past fail to compare to even the worst years of your future.
To think that one day in the past God decided to create something special, and then created someone special, and now today we look side ways and think what a blessing it is to have you in our lives and He looks down and say wow look what she made of herself, not all to plan but still My special someone. May you have an awesome day and another cracking good year ahead. Happy birthday Ice.
Happy Birthday Queen of the Ice hope you have a wonderful day and many more to come

@chaz (Comment 42) : The Symphony? Ive been on that too. Great fun. Watched the Sharks beat the Cheetahs in the bar in 2007… Its so sad I remember that.
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 46) : I think my wife was on the cruise too.
@Ice (Comment 39) :
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 46) :
no the Sinfonia the big mother ship of all times the one bigger than her can’t dock in durbs its to big it takes about 8 thousand passenges the sinfonia takes with crew about nearlly 5 thousand
its got at 12 decks what a beauty
@chaz (Comment 49) : Oh… right… ok… havent been in Durbs for a while to be up to date on that. I went on the Symphony, the tiny one that goes between Durban and assorted places in Mozambique. Where you can virtually rub shoulders with the person in the adjoining cabin. Sounds like you had a bit of a better deal
although the Symphony was fun too..
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 50) :
you must try the Sinfonia we payed like 10 grand for 5 nights not so much
ok i’m off till later all
Hey there, Ice.
Only made it back from Transkei last night and have only just come on SW, to find all these fine tributes to one of the loveliest ladies I have ever had the previledge of knowing
Happy for today and many more!!!
Keep on being the BEST THERE IS!!!
Love Mama & Papa Shark!
Lots of love to you, my SW sistah on your special day.

You welcomed me with open arms on this site, introduced me to everyone and have quickly become a much valued friend, BBM and “skinnering” partner. Blondes rule! And have more fun!

Once again, Thanks for all the great wishes and making me feel very special! I had an awsome day!
