GBS, What time you going to Loftus? Wont the traffic be heavy if you don’t leave early? Remember this is Friday night. Traffic always heavy. Well it is heaving everyday here.
Could still rain up here. See lots of clouds about. Hope it is dry for the game tonight.
272 – Well that is early. Good.
Damn going to put in my score for the sportspool. Forgot to put it in last night. Would have picked up a point or two there with the Blues win.
273@ Puma, I’ll be leaving at about 4:30 pm…. game is only at 7:10 pm….
Still have to punch out about 7 Invoices, phone a couple of people who owe me money and pay some staff by means of Internet Banking.
Oh shit yes, I’ve also got to make my Bru picks for tonight and the rest of the weekend (Six Nations included) and also my SportsPool picks.

276 – GBS, Get cracking. Time is going fast now.
I would have gone to this game tonight. Just don’t like driving late at night up here. Pity it was not earlier would have gone. Have never been to Loftus.
Think this will be a cracker of a game.
Enjoy it GBS. Take some photos.
278@ Puma – Taking my special Video Camera which doubles as a 10 Mega Pixel Digital Camera…. oh and it is also a voice recorder for the Interviews afterwards…
Will see if I can take a few snappies…. maybe make you guys hungry with pics of the buffet which they lay out for us before and during the game…. hehehehe
Maybe take some pics of Rapport (JJ Harmse) & Sondag (De Villiers, I think) & SuperSport’s (Brenden Nel) writers and some of the other odd fellas in the Press Box. Some weird and wonderful people there…
279 – GBS, Sounds great. Enjoy it. Remember those pics though. Always enjoy them, feels like we get to be at the game (well sort of)
