GBS – Sal bietjie vuur maak onder haar. Was baie besig die afgelope week, en gaan volgende week Margate toe. Sal stuur sodra ek dit het. Thanks weereens.
Good evening boys and Carol.
Listening to Nelly fortuda on the side. Not to bad, not to bad.
Shit game you chose to watch Carol.
87 – Given the choice I would go for Italy!! Wonderful villa in Tuscany…..
Perhaps I will do the lottery this Saturday!! 😉 Italy is so fabulous…..!!
Snoek you’re cooking there on superbru boy!
87 – Puma
Sounds lekker. But you need to choose your 6 months in SA over the rugby period. Rugby, braai and Red wine is a must when in SA.
88 – Snoek, I would have too. Kanko not playing well and Potties is playing superb at the moment. Just think it could be his height. Maybe a bit short for a 8. Well maybe not just what I think. Thought he would have made the bench at least.
So pleased to see Deysel there. Jeepers he has being playing well for so long and deserves a spot. Now will he get some game time or just sit on the bench? Hope he gets on the field at some time during the game. Think him and Brussow will be awesome together. Also Kanko plays a better game with Deysel there. I would not have started with Danie at 7 not ever. 8 or 4 even 5. Danie is not a 7. Remember Deysel can fetch too so that is also a advantage to have two fetchers.
92 – Isigidi, I really wanted to Boks to shine….I have seen them play 3 times this year and the two Lions Tests were so amazing I was a bit spoiled!
Just had to suport them on Tuesday…..then the wheels fell off in the second half!!!
95 – Snoek. For sure. Miss the humidity in Umhlanga. Thinking of April to September here and the other months over there when it is a bit cooler over there.
LOVE the winter months in Durbs. Nothing in the world can compare. From about April to September the weather there is brilliant.
Carol # 93
Went to a live show friday night. The Parlatones. Lead singer is and Saffa Italian. Man, those guys rock.
Just came back from London and Russia.
82 GBS – Africaans lessons and computer lesons, you will have your work cut out!!
Puma @98
Gonna be in mozanbique next year soccer time.
Long school holiday for kids and away from frenzy.
Lovely weather and long beaches……
@isigidi the palatones is possebly the best band ever to come out of sa i realy like beutifull it is a fantastic song
97 – Carol that team was not really the Boks more our Dirt Trackers and not even our best players were selected. Felt for players like Alberts, Vereulen, Mapoe, WP. Nel, Sykes for sure should have been there and a few others too. Vermaak think he is injured. Would even have had Kockott there. Many missed out. Now we missed the boat so to speak to try those players out.
94 – Isi
Had a good weekend, just got the draw wrong.
99 – Ishigidi, think you have just landed yourself the job of Rugby Talk TV’s music correspondent!!
What were you doing in London and Russsia? Had you been to London before? Were we rude and standoffish? If yes, can I appologise on behalf of our Nation!!
Province!!!
Smallies
I like “Push me to the floor”. On their new album Stardust Galaxies.
They performed at Grand West on my birfday nogal!
99 – Isigidi
Agree with the Parlotones.
Saw them last year live, and they ROCKED. Was really surprised by them. They even Played their own version of “Lisa se Klavier”
101 – Isi, You know I have never been there? Would love to see the place.
I want to be here for the Soccer well have too. Have 4 Scots maybe more coming over for that. Their team never made it but they still want to come. Air prices too over that period is a rip off.
My Scots mates telling me air fares are going for about 1 600 pounds. That is greed. From Glasgow to Joburg and not even to Durbs.
