    I am good and you.

    Winter is on its way. There is prediction for rain but I have not seen it and it is not likely to arrive.
    But Sydney weather is unprdictable…15 minutes is a long time when predicting weather.

    Hope the weather is fine for the game later.

    Gbs is hierdie een toelaatbaar…. 😆

    In the men’s bathroom, an accountant, a lawyer and a cowboy were standing side-by-side using the urinal.

    The accountant finished, zipped up and started washing and literally scrubbing his hands…clear up to his elbows….he used 20 paper towels before he finished. He turned to the other two men and commented, “I graduated from the University of Michigan and they taught us to be clean.”

    The lawyer finished, zipped up and quickly wet the tips of his fingers, grabbed one paper towel and commented, “I graduated from the University of California and they taught us to be environmentally conscious.”

    The cowboy zipped up and as he was walking out the door said, “I graduated from Texas Tech University and they taught us not to piss on our hands.

    220@ Loskoppie – Fark, that’s harsh…. that would be worse than a permanent ban….. hahahaha

    No bonus point win to Saders but Chiefs pick up a bonus point there.

    My feeling for the kiwi sides for a semi. Saders for sure then probably Canes. Maybe Chiefs.

    South Arican sides. Bulls 100% then probably Stormers.

    Oz sides. Brumbies probably.

    Go the Bulls and Stormers.

    For the next game. Go the Lions.

    Yip, I’m afraid so, mind you Lions not to lose by to much…

  • 232

    Puma the holidays is still in planning stages.

    The plan is to be in RSA December time.

    Its feels like winter its feels about 15 degrees at the moment.

  • 233

    Chiefs second home loss, undoing all the good work of the overseas tour…Reminds of a Sharks team…

    Chiefs won’t see the semis…

  • 234

    11 – Hello Winston, Never saw you there when I logged on.

  • 235

    PASOP vir die Hurricanes more aand…

  • 236

    232 – Walla then that would feel like winter for me too. We still getting it hot here in Joburg. Thought it would have cooled down by now. Yesterday was 30. Durbs cooking hot still.

    December a good time to come. Hope you get good weather. We had plenty rain in Durbs and Joburg this past December.

    Cape though belive the weather was great and still is at the moment.

    236 – belive = believe

    Off to the Lions thread now.

  • 239

    Hmm the waratahs game…lets see if I want to watch it.

    The Lions played a spoiling game last week and the Waratahs were crap. looks all set for a dull game.

    This kickathon that rugby union has become or was last year has forced me to take an interest in league. League is more flowing than Rugby union, huge hits a bit of biff and there is some seriously good build ups….especially from two very good teams.

    Its the start of the league season St George vs Parrammatta which promises to be explosive…I will watch league.

    Puma this time probably wont do the Cape town trip. Will be JHB for a night due to being the main airport. Planning to do the Hawaii, Los Angeles, NYC, London, JHB and Harare trip…but it still in the planning stages.

    December is a great time to be in Africa I would prefer just after winter as it is best for Safaries.
