-Short Attention Span Theater-
Love at first sight
2005-01-17
A South African businessman is refusing to leave Croatia until he finds a girl who he spotted across a crowded bar.
Across a crowded room...
Keith Van Der Spuy has never even spoken to the girl but says she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He has cancelled his flight home and taken out adverts in local newspapers in the port town of Split. Mr Van Der Spuy says he lost sight of the pretty young woman shortly after she smiled at him across the bar.
Or so he thinks.
But he's convinced she was a local because he heard her calling to a female friend shortly before he lost sight of her. Van Der Spuy, who is also the head of the South African water-polo association, said he could not get her out of his mind and when he got to the airport realised he could not board the plane. He has already extended his holiday for four months, and says he is prepared to stay in Split for as long as it takes.
He'll soon be the John Kerry of Water Polo, missing all those meetings...
