Ashwin Willemse 08 Sep 1981 (28 years)
Congrats!
Geluk aan die BokJanne wat verjaar!
So if you are born in Cape Town and you surname is du Plessis, you have a good chance of becoming a Springbok!
@Supa Die Bloubul – Supa het een van die Bester broers Springbok gespeel? Dink nie so nie.
Where is everyone tonight? Out with GBS celebrating his birthday?
@Puma – Hi Puma, thought 5,000 miles was a bit of a jaunt for a party!! 😀
See you have been dodging in and out of the scrapping on Voldy today!!
Back later…..see you
@carol – 5
Yip have been 😀
You would have been there for the party I know. Now where is everyone else?
Happy Birthday GBS…wishing you loads of happiness and much joy for the year ahead…may your pockets be full and your heart pure…
@Puma – Howdy Puma! You good mate.
Probably time for a drink!!! Outta here.
@Irish Devil – I am well Irish, Hope you are too. Must have missed you by seconds.
Enjoy your pint. I am on the water for a few weeks. Had Scots visitors here for 5 weeks and need to detox now 😆 Unless we win on Sat then will start the health diet on Monday.
@Puma – Puma, 5,000 miles if quite a way even for me to to to a party!!
Looks like we keep missing each other…..
Perhaps one night GBS should say – “Meet at the Rugby Talk Tavern on Friday at 8pm South African time, with a drink in hand” then we would know where to find each other!
You can bring a bottle of red wine along Puma and stick up for John Smit again! Oh no, you are Detoxing!! 🙂
@carol – 11
Yip, detoxing for sure. What with the Scots here for 5 weeks most would be 😆
Now if we win on Saturday the detox and health diet will have to wait until Monday. Will celebrate if we win the Tri-Nations.
For sure will always stick up for our Captain 😀
@Puma – Did the Scots introduce you to deep fried mars bars? You would need to seriously detox after that.
About the Bakkies comment, surely he was just winding the press up!!
He is a Bull, therefore he will have a highly developed sense of humour!! 😉
Back from a wonderful seafood feast…
Hello
@carol – Carol you just zoom in and then you are gone. Seem like we have missed each other once again.
Remember to when you run to have the best running shoes. Said that to you last night but you were away before I could post. Remember to look after those knees.
@grootblousmile – Birthday Person, fantastic food, lucky you…..
Quite a party here earlier for you!! 😆
@grootblousmile – 14
Sounds like it was great nice birthday feast that. Seafood my favourite too.
16@carol – Yip, I felt like a bit of a celeb… hehehe
@Puma – Puma, I seem to have great knees!! Funny hip tho!! Really enjoying the running, ran alongside some blokes for a bit last night, made me puff a bit!! They were a bit fast!
17@Puma – Yeah, good seafood is great…. crayfish thermidor….
@carol – 19 You ran after some guys? I think they got a bit scared, heh, heh 🙂
@grootblousmile – Well if you are written about in the Sunday Papers!!
Hec, what a quote to be remembered by!! 😉
@grootblousmile – 18 So when is the post-event press conference scheduled? That’s when you say you owe it all to your parents & your agent 🙂
@JimT – Hi Jim, I did have the border collie with me, she does nip heels, that probably alarmed them!
Actually, not my type!! Hahahah I let them get away!
22@carol – Farking Debbie Smit !!
Still angry about it…. 2 years and 3 months later…
Grrrrrrrrr
@JimT – 23 GBS would trust NO ONE to be his agent, he would D.I.Y !! 8)
@grootblousmile – 20
Love crayfish and LM prawns my two best seafoods. Have not had crayfish for yonks. Hope you had a good white wine to enjoy it with?
@carol – LOL Bet they went home to their wives (partners) & said “I’m never going to do that again. Some mad woman & a wolf were trying to run me down. 🙂
23@JimT – I hold better Press Conferences than Peter Helium…. hahaha
Want to hear one of my parables ??
Hehehe
@grootblousmile – You mean you didn’t sue her??
Hey, yesterdays news, forgotten by everyone bar you!
You must send me a copy though.
