TBF is an aweful fever.
Very similar to malaria but with the funny hands and very itchy at night. It is weird how you dont get itchy during the day but at night its close to unbearable.
Went to emergency and doctor diagnosed that I had tonsolitis or malaria…after i flinched when he brutilised the lymphnode in my jaw.
Tests came out I did not have malaria and he requested that I get antibiotics. I refused…went to another doctor they said if you have been told you dont have malaria and are itchy at night…you got the TBF.
Horrible illness!!
Bulls 7 / 3

The itchy for me was my face…I just wanted to scratch it off.
Youve had TBF a few times…ouch!
7/6 Bulls.
From now on Bulls MUST take those 3 points instead of going for corner. Daft, get well ahead first then do that.
Supposed to have turned my lights off for earth hour…Forgot!
This game would have been on 13-6 in the old style Bulls play
Time to go.
Swim between the flags!!
108 – Walla, Howzit mate. 3 Wins so far the Aussie teams.

111 – Super, Bulls have that as plan B. They must play it for awhile here then do this running from everywhere later once they are in the lead.

112 – Walla……….hahahaha. We will don’t you worry.
Puma
Well done the Sharks…congrats!
Them Sharks are good…two wins abroad is good and a few bonus points to boot. Wins from here is going to make traffic congested at the top.
Pity, that could have be a score.
Feck Bullies need some Bioplus, bloody marvellous stuff, works like a bomb.
