Puma Prawns = huge amounts of colestrol(sp)veryveryvery bad for you, they the flies of the oceans and crayfish are the cockaroaches 😈
Puma @ – hahaha, you’re a character old mate.
You’re right, you do feel a sense of being able to relax and enjoy the game after you side gets a win. It’s the middle of the day where you are; Superbul’s already on the turps and it’s almost 10 pm here, so I’m into a great big cold Singha Beer – bewdy!!!
30 – GBS, YOU see now I could have made the shops. Treehugs it is your fault…hehehe
Now will celebrate later with you okes once I get to the shops to buy some good wine and prawns. I have beers in the fridge but don’t feel like any. Will get some good prawns from the Portuguese fish market down the road and throw some on the braai later, have that with a good white wine.
For now will have a coffee watching the Bulls.

Puma i said early in your game i liked the look in his eyes, he had that look in his eyes again when he took the ball for that kick. Great , so he did learn from the master.
OK Bulls…dont relax now, this game is not going to be easy….the Force have absolutely nothing to lose, they will be looking to spoil.
Blues unlucky against Waratahs….and so far the reffing is really abysmal today.
Blitzbokke………….7 – 0 Kenya
GBS Wicked unsympathetic man :evil, have you ever seen a slightly sick man, its like its the end of the world.you guys can perform.
Puma am glad he doesnt mind playing where he asked to play, but he still has to prove himself to me.
34 – Old Griquas…hahaha. It is true though. You and I just put our feet up now and relax. Was going to have a nice cold glass of wine but only have red wine and beer in the house. Need to get to the shops so no time now. Will have to go after the game.
Will have a glass though for your and my team later. That is or sure…haha.
Mmmmmm, I’m on the sletsap…. maybe later I will abuse a bottle of Jerepico… if we still have…

39@ Boomninny – I don’t get sick… alcohol sterilizes everything!!
Black tea for me today boys, I have been working in between the rugby, putting together a football tour from England to the World cup, first round matches for English fans.
33 – Treehugs, I know shell fish, has huge cholesterol in it. That is why I JUST TAKE LIPITOR……HEHEHEHE Life is for living, that is my motto. Watch it a bit but go live your life to the fullest. You never know what tomorrow brings.
