142 – Dispy, I loved Cape Town even though I did not see it at its best in June….
Have you read John Smits book yet? I imagine most Sharks fans got it in their stocking this year!
148 – GBS 😆
Sorry that is funny. Had to have a laugh there.
143 – Treehugs, Thanks for that info. Love those naughty buggers. Had them all around my area here yesterday too.
You were right by the way they have started a feeding station here. Not sure how it is going though.
152@ Puma – It’s not so funny this side…. fokkkkkkkkk!
142 – Dipsy, Then you more than WELCOME..HEHEHE More SHARKIES here the better.
Quite a few of us here now. Welcome.
154 – GBS, Sounds like you both are falling apart…hehe.
Serious though. Toothache is horrible. One pain I just take a painkiller for. Even put up with my kak knees and lower back pain most of the time without any painkillers but toothache. That is another story. Remember last year I had it too and for about 6 weeks until I got back to Joburg. Never took painkillers that long but on the very bad days had no choice. My dentist up there sorted it out PRONTO.
Ja GBS.
I hate to say it, but you won`t get tooth ache from nothing.
Now lets see, what have we been warning you against non stop?
GBS
Check if there is a Medicross in your area.
I know there are two in Pta, the one is almost next to GBS Maximus’ gas station in Silverton.
They have dentists on standby, ex-wife used to do the rounds there sometimes.
157 – The Pill, I promised GBS I would say nothing about his lack of excercise, terrible eating habits and his smoking until the new year so you won’t get another word out of me on the subject until Jan 1st!! Heheheheheheh 😆
@157
I think GBS’s condensed milk days are over…
160 – Piet, That is for sure. Finally his dentist will tell him what has cause the teeth problem.
It is the condensed milk. Too much sugar is very bad for the teeth.
157@ Pille – I have not been to a dentist in 5 or 7 years…. it was bound to catch up to me. I’d meant to go in November, just never had the time….. now it’s reminding me that I better bloody well start making time for myself!
Fark, everything in my life comes first, before me…. my family, friends, rugby and rugby buddies, clients… you can ask around here, I’m always willing to make time to help others with problems!!
Now go find me a bloody dentist, dammit!
Well we will have to see how we do tomorrow morning in the crici. Hope that Boucher and AB stay in for as long as they can. If the sun comes out and we fall apart quick. England will be very difficult to bowl out.
Okay that is me for now. Back a bit later.
GBS Kiss goodbye to the Nestle Tin….!! Pille, Piet and Puma are right…
Anything else you don’t have time for? 😉
162 – GBS, One thing. NO MORE CONDENSED MILK and see your dentist every year from now on.
Now have to go out for a bit. Back later.
Cheers all back a bit later.
158 @ Pietman – That Medicross in Silverton is right next door to our Engen Buildings (Pretoria Motors, 302 Pretoria Rd, Silverton – c/o James Str & Pretoria Rd)….. that’s also the Medicross where Uli worked before going to Ozzie.
We have phoned EVERY Medicross within a 100km radius, not a farking dentist in sight today….. fokkollllllllll!
Carol@151 Cape Town is good all year round. Winter its wet and cold so you drink Red Wine INSIDE whenever you can. Summer months you change to Savigon Blanc and drink OUTSIDE. Best of both worlds really. Captain Morgan and Coke for the chaging of the seasons.
Yes, have read John Smits book. Apparently I bought the first book from Exclusive Books in Sea Point on the morning of its release. Brilliant book. Loved his openess and frankness and his ability to “counter” this by saying why so and so did and act the way he did, given the circumstances.
@163 True.
I am also out, going to join the mother and wife for a walk down to the beach area…..and to the German pub later for a Hansa and schnitzel.
Tjeers vir eers.
Farkkkkkkkk….. just out of spite I’ll buy more condensed milk….. in fact let me finish the tin right in front of me, right now!
Man, if you bloody nay-sayers and goodie-two-shoes had not been to the dentist for years on end, what would you blame your tooth ache on…… flok…. maybe on dumb farking luck??
At least I can come up with easy excuses…. hehehe
GBS
Probeer Dr Welthagen en Vennote, reg oorkant Loftus in Kirknessstr.
Hy mag tuis wees.
GBS.
Long time ago i had a terrible tooth ache. I used to drink Coke like there was no tomorrow.
Out of pure desperation i poured neat brandy on the tooth.Burned like hell, but the pain stopped for a few hours.
Was my experience so i can`t take responsibility for any ill that may arise from said treatment. 😆
171@ Pieta – I’ve even considered phoning my gay cousin, who’s a dentist in Pretoria….
GBS, jy gaan net jouself spite.
173 – Get the cousin to sort it out then!! Pronto……
Thats what family are for!!
Here’s me and my condensed milk
179 GBS you have a ‘manic gleam’ in your eye!! It is a nasty addiction you have!
Kauto Star has just won the King George Chase at Kempton Park, 4th year running, what an amazing horse!! Wonderful ride by Ruby Walsh.
I can go out now…..see you later
GBS lol you suck on that tin 🙂
The sugar is going to make the pain come right back. Go do the salt thing quickly and their are worse things in life than consensed milk. You only live once.
pa, lay off the condensmilk. And you wounder why you have a boep growing. nice woman figure at the pregnant stage. I will see you tomorrow.
Bonzai – Classic line….. Do you think the message is finally getting through!! 😉
I think his teeth and his waistline are trying to tell him something!! 😆
