403@SA Barbarians – It is like farting against thunder.
@bluepete – One can but try!! 😉
WP might be 2nd on the log after this match, ou vieee!
K9’s Notebook has serious issues, it’s Lions infected…. virtually incurable…. just this ONE Bulls Notebook doctor can fix it…
K9 and Postman Pat has just left, so I can blog properly… and sort the Notebook out later…
409@JockBok – Hoots Mon!
@carol – Your Afr is excellent Lady C
Care for a glass of classy Port?
@carol –
You made the right choice, thats all that counts.
You still havent replied to my FB message…
@Loosehead – At least you are Bilingual!!
@grootblousmile –
Ja, jy was skaars. Ek moes die blog aan die gang hou!
Hiya Carol, not too optimistic for any kind of conversation I’m afraid. The internet is up and down like a fiddlers elbow and in between my last post a few minutes ago and now, the electricity went off and on.
10 minutes left… the current score suits my SuperBru just fine
Tiger Rose knocks on, under no pressure.
@bluepete – Op 3 van die 4 paviljoene, maar op die suidelike paviljoen is ‘n gap aan te beveel vir jou eie welsyn 🙂
428@carol – I am what is referred to as a soutie.
@SA Barbarians – 🙂 It is when my translation site is working!!
A beautiful summers day here, port is a winter drink for us.
A glass of white may be in order later!!
Bloody Togo, why couldn’t they send me to Pofader or somewhere, errrrrr, civilized 🙂
GBS is it true that you are Naas Botha’s love child?
@Supa Die Bloubul – Hav’nt forgotten, I will……..still blushing!
@grootblousmile –
You and I will have to share this one, if it stays the same.
But the Lions are going to narrow the score, I think….
@JockBok – The joys of working in the @rse end of nowhere Jock!!
How much time left?
@Loosehead – Is this the ‘salt string’ thing that GBS once called Puma?
@carol –
Yes, just keep blushing till I receive that message…
@Supa Die Bloubul –
5 minutes
@grootblousmile – Postman Pat is soooooo cute!!
@Pietman –
Dankie. Dan is dit te laat vir die Leeutjies. Hulle moet nog twee keer score.
440@carol – I’m praying here for 10 minutes more to get confirmation of Province heading to 2nd place. Anyone fill me in on how the game is going? Looks like the Lions were climbing back in?
@carol – Indeed, he has such a way with words does GBS.
437@Loosehead – No, I’m the son of the mighty GBS Maximus… may he rest in peace… it is 7 days till the first aniversary of him leaving us, to go upstairs.
Naas & myself were at Tuks together… he was not a model student.
@JockBok –
WP under pressure, Lions scrum in WP area, 3 minutes to go, bonuspoint remote….
