Pity about Smith going out
68@GBS. Thanks for the approval to join RT and sorry am not a dentist. Treehugger is correct with regards to the salt water for your tooth. Suggest however that you wash away the after salt taste with a ‘Jag se miesie’ = Jugermeister. It is after all ‘herbal’ and should not clash with the anit-biotics.
Greetings Guys and Gals. Looking forward to chatting with all of you in the future.
89 – Treehugs, Hope the wind does not do too much damage there. Here the wind is only just starting to pick up.
That is one thing I enjoy about Joburg. Hardly gets any wind at all.
92 – Dipsy, Howzit mate. Don’t ever remember speaking with you before unless you had another nick on Voldy? Good to have you here though.
Hi Dipsy, you related to Lala and the other teletubby
Now think it has turned. England will be in the driving seat here. Damn just when GS and Kallis were on top of their game.
At least Smith can go now and see how bad that finger is. Got hit quite bad on it this morning.
Dipsy and dont encourage him on the Jugermeister stuff he needs no encouragment lol.
A run out…..Heheheheh
Hey Hugs, just saw your comment on Keo….Ta me old duck!! I just have to smile at those mad comments….The thought of me being a BNP party supporter is just too stupid to take seriously!
However am delighted at how familiar so many of the voldy Bloggers are with Rugby-Talk they must be regular ‘visitors!!
The wind sounds lethal, keep your head down!
Puma – Some of the Barmy Army are a bit ‘uncouth’ but they mean well!! 🙂
GBS – Have you cheered up a bit?
Hi Dipsy, not a Brit by any chance? 😐
Hiho Carol, was the first time i ever posted there, i had to, got angry at the way they always insult you and hardly anyone sticks up for you 👿
Overcast but very humid outside. Hope these two just hang on until close tonight. Cant lose another wicket now.
Carol – sent GBS a photo of what he will look like if he takes to many pills. A 4 week old rescue monkys zonked out on the window sill in the sun. Ask him to send it to you. Its very cute. Thats if i managed to sent the picture.
92@ Dipsy – Jeagie Boms it will be…. I’ll drink them till I do not care about te pain….. hehehe
I have a history with Jeagie Bombs….
Hell, why did I not think about that before…. oi!
Hi Puma and Treehugs
92@Puma No totally new. Never blogged on Voldy. Must admit that I do check out Voldy everyday but only read certain of their bloggers contributions. Thanks to them “marketing RT” came across to have a look see and have liked what I have seen and read so far.
95@Treehugger Heh Heh! No Dipsy is a “play” on my longer surname. Acquired back in basics. My surname crossed with my character apparently.
Fark, we’re 5 wickets down……
98 – Hi Carol, Think the Barmy Army are great actually. They add a lot of atmosphere at the ground. Should be good.
England now in the driving seat. That is what I love about test cricket. It turns so fast. One stage I thought we had you okes by the throat. Well in Kallis and GS were then to get out. Daft to get run out in test cricket actually. Well that how it goes I suppose.
Puma you will be happy to hear the wind has toned down a couple of notches so shouldnt affect the cricket.
105@ Dipsy – Welcome to the friendly family here at R-T….
Rugby’s all quiet, but we’re here…. and we’ve got interesting things planned for the new year…
GBS. You should try a herbal spliff of good quality.
You will forget about the pain, but would be useless for the rest of the day. 😆
106 – GBS, From a good postion now to STRUGGLING. Damn.
The weather has changed. Lots of wind coming now and overcast and very humid again. Makes it difficult for the batters. If the sun stayed out think it would have been the otherway round better for the batters. Now just watch the sun will be out the whole day tomorrow and we will struggle to take them out.
We also have Ntini and it should have been De Wet or Parnell. Going to struggle to bowl them out I think. Parnell bowling would have been well suited for Durban.
Welcome Dipsy.
Hiho Pillie, you still flying to the States? See they had a minor terror attack on one of their planes. Rather stay home :TWISTED:
110@ Pilletjies – Ohhhhhhhhh, VITAMIN GREENNNNNNNNNNNN….. heheheehe
Puma think tomorrow is going to be chillos and overcast with a bit of drizzle. 😥
GBS Did you get the monkey photo with feet on the window and fast asleep ?
113. Treehugs
I do not know yet. Waiting for approval ( visa )
About the terror, nah, they should experience SA to get a real taste of terror. I reckon the States is pretty safe.
99@Carol Hi Carol. No not a Brit but rather a bit of a mongrel. Father was Afrikaans and my Mothers Father was Scottish and her Mother Greek. Accordingly I can blame my behaviour at times on my ancestory which does help depending the precicament I am in.
Dipsy you will love it on this site, we are a very mixed bunch of people, and all are interesting.
Flippit, fell asleep on the sofa at 150/2, and woke up to this just now, eissh!
Welcome Dipsy.
Pille, waar gaan jy in die States? Gaan kuier vir Ed, as jy in Boston-omgewing is.
