Congrats!
@Boerboel – See you Boerboel.
@Puma – Good to catch up Puma…
@JimT – 90 Makes me thing perhaps I should think before I post, but then again!! Perhaps not!….
@carol – 93 Well you can be tracked down rather easily – Carol in the Cotswolds, owning horses & dogs. I mean how many Carols fit that bill? 🙂
@JimT – 94 There must be masses of us!!
Jim nice to chat, time to log out, till another time.
Say goodnight to the Birthday Blogger if you see him!!
Outta Here
Oi…. what a time for Helkom, our National Telephone provider to work on our specific ADSL Exchange… have switched over to 3G now after I had a rather heated conversation with 2 of Telkom’s dumbest employees… was put through to a superviser, after I threatened bodily harm… to be told they’re working on our Exchange.
Why in this world do you have to go bonkers before somebody with 2 braincells eventually helps you??
@grootblousmile – 😯
97@carol – I’m going horisontal now…. cheers
Goeie nag, slaap sag
Yeah…. Life is a song, you know!
@grootblousmile – Ag dankie, jy ook,
Sing hom vit volle bors!! xx
Supa,
Great article, thx, right up my ally, luv it!
Very informative, didn’t know about Jacques and Geo for instance.
@isigidi –
No, neither of the Besters played for SA, and rightly so.
They very kuk, strong and dumb as oxen, very dirty players.
How Piet made it through the bar exam still remains a miracle (he is an advocate in Kimberley), and Andre was the instigater of ‘MarkgraafGate’.
Not nice people, the Bester brothers….
Still on the topic of stats, Bafana have lost their 6th match in a row, against Ireland ‘B’!
How kuk is that?
And not as much as a whisper from the soccer supporters….they are probably too busy watching British soccer (Grant10, Transformer and those other poefterball groupies on Voldy….).
Time to introduce quotas I say, and reduce salaries, starting with the coach and Danny Jordaan 🙂
Bafana to lose the opening match in WC2010, I tell you, watch the scandal unfolds.
And all this while everybody in the SA Sports Council and other councils like Badhat’s Racist and Transformer Group are shitting themselves about the Springboks, their emblem, black representation, ‘Dutchmen and Derde Mag’ etc…..makes no sense.
Ok, back to bed, too many typo’s through sleepy eyes…..
Laters all.
Everybody still having a lay-in this morning it seems, all babalaas after GBS’s bifday party yesterday, or what?
Supa, btw Dolf bekker was a double Springbok.
SA heavyweight boxer at the Olympics.
His sister Wilma as well, discus.
Onby father and son combo ever to captain the boks , felix and morne dup
104@Pietman – If not being up at 06:30 means “laying-in” then yes, I lie in every morning !!
Fark !
Mense wat daai tyd al wakker is, hulle het iets wat hulle worry…. iets wat hulle verkeerd gedoen het…. hulle sondes haal hulle in !
102 Pietman, I really don’t know what to make of your post. I was under the impression that this is a rugby and chat blog (that why I signed up anyway) and that a general understanding existed that politics be left to the politicians?
Maybe the clutch slipped at that unearthly hour? 😉
And besides our own webmaster GBS, the following Boks celebrate their birthday today:
Daan du Plessis 08 Sep 1948 (61 years)
Wow ek ken Oom Daan goed!!!! sy vrou was my graad 1 onnie, sy en my ma het jaaaaaare saam skoolgegee. sy is oorlede agv geas op die brein….ek onthou net Oom Daan het 2 hoenders ge eet as ons daar ge-eet het en die res van ons almal saam een 😆
and once again proof that Cape Town produces the most boks….eish….dis lekker om in die kaap te bly!!!!
@Tripples – #109…geas=gewas
how many rugby and cricket springboks are there?
@fender –
Just talking to myself, no worries!
@smallies72 –
Only one cricketer as far as I know, Clive van Ryneveld.
There are a few Springbok athhletes/players though, eg.Drickus Hattingh.
@fender –
And my unearthly hour and yours are probably not the same 🙂
I am not on on SA time….
@Tripples – Daan Dup al 61????? Hy het jaaaaare terug my knie geopereer.
Pietman, ok that makes sense; I was trying to figure out when you managed to sleep! 🙂
@Pietman – 114 jaco reinach
