The good news just keeps on coming for the close bunch of friends who founded this great site back in 2008!
As if it’s not enough knowing that our good mate Claytie is tying the knot with his beloved (and incredibly patient) Crystal in a few weeks time, we found out last night that another of our founders, Duane (aka Big Fish) will also have wedding bells in his future. Fish popped the question to sweetheart Tamara last night and the lucky girl (or is that crazy chick?) accepted his proposal, in a moment of weakness.
Big congrats to Duane and T from all of your friends here at Sharksworld… here’s wishing you a happy, stress free engagement and much luck with the wedding plans that are sure to follow. Unlike certain other people, we hope that your wedding doesn’t end up clashing with any big Super Rugby derbies in Cape Town… no names mentioned, of course!







Congratulations !! and good luck
Congrats Feeesh!!
All the best mate, good luck with the planning!!
Congratulations
Congrats, enjoy, & I hope Tamara runs you ragged with all the planning for the big day
Well done!!
So please arrange the wedding for the same weekend so it’s worth my while to fly down.
Enjoy the last bit of freedom…..no wait….it’s already gone.
Also start buying your clothes a size bigger from now on!
But not to worry it’s all good!
Congratulations Fish & T!
Congratulations Big Fish! Wishing you and your fiance all the happiness.
Congrats to both of u!!! Tamara, stay in control from the start, girl!
Congratulations! I hope you’ve made peace with the fact that the posters of Atu’an and maps of Ankh-Morpork will probably have to come down from the bedroom walls…
Congratulation Big Fish …. all the very best for future! HH
Congratulations again my friend, we need to have a chat about a few things.
Unlike certain other people, we hope that your wedding doesn’t end up clashing with any big Super Rugby derbies in Cape Town… no names mentioned, of course!
Idiots, must be!
Thanks mates!
I’m really excited, and it really means a lot for you all to share the joy.

You can check this is a clever ou. He goes away on a trip so she misses him and then when he comes back he pops the question.
Congrats you two, we hope you have a great life together.

Rule #1: when you slate the caterer in an email, DON’T CC them on that email.

@KSA Shark © (Comment 16) : I saw on his FB feed about him being super happy and I thought its because he had missed Cape Town that much and was happy to be home, but no, the silly chap popped the big one! Next thing he will be waking up screaming FREEEEEEDOM!
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 18) : Next time he’ll post “super happy” as he’s about to leave CT.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) :
CONGRATULATIONS Duane and Tamara! All the best with the planning!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 17) : Please don’t remind me of that email!
He did it in true Claytie-style!
@xtal (Comment 22) :
A couple that can sit through a typical Cape storm, on possibly the coldest night of the year, watching a rugby game and EATING ice creams must be made for each other.
Congratulations you two.
All the best for you
Lekka Big Fish, so a quick Q. You know the 3 stages of a man relationships
In afr they call it the 3 V’s
1. Verlief
2. Verloof
3. Verlore
So congratulations on reaching stage 2
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 18) : congrats boet, mag dit net goed gaan
@Big Fish (Comment 14) : congrats duane, all the best mate
Congrats to the both of you!
Now if I may, you do understand the purpose of stage 2, it has nothing to do with you and her, its all about you and your buddies…..
in this stage you have to pledge to your friend that: you will not forsake them, you will not forget them, you will not ware other colours than black and white, and you will not post less or comment less on SW and so on…..
@Franshark (Comment 26) : Or the 3 rings: engagement ring, wedding ring and then suffering
@Franshark (Comment 26) : @Ice (Comment 30) :
@Ice (Comment 30) : ja that’s the eng version
