28@isigidi – IsiGRAPJAS, het jy daai mails gekry wat ek jou gestuur het met WP se program vir die week en die WP Unie se uitnodiging bevestiging vir Saterdag?
@grootblousmile – Got it. Chat later. Moet mielies gooi……………….
I vote for Morne – for being so incredibly exciting when he gets it right!! :silly:
fdp met js en brussow as sterk buite perde
@carol – But I don’t think test matches count. This is strictly S-14?
@JimT – Jim, missed you again…..
Have I missed the point? :cute: Dohhhh !!
Jimmy the Prop and Karlien… 2 of my favourite Poms… where’s the third…Oirish?
@carol – I could be wrong but the award was described as the Vodacom Super 14 Player of the Year. No doubt Bulls supporters might say he still qualifies/deserves the award, so you might be spot on. 🙂
@grootblousmile – Hi Stranger, where you bin? I imagine you have the Blue Bulls down for a win this Saturday. How close will it be?
@grootblousmile – 37 Faux pas there GBS. You can’t go around calling Oirish a Pom. That’s enough to bring the IRA at your doorstep. The leprechauns will be after you. heh, heh 🙂
39@JimT – It will be hard this Saturday…. difficult to predict, I hope the Bulls experience of Finals of the last few years carry them through.
40@JimT – Sorry, I apologise… should have said Mud Isle Inhabitants and/or Ex Mud Isle Inhabitants.
@grootblousmile – Ha, ha, that’s more like it. Have to be precise about these matters. 🙂
@grootblousmile – 41 hedging your bets? That’s not the GBS I know. C’mon now isn’t that blue blood that’s flowing through your veins?
