@ Rugby_Princess:61 – Rugby Princess, Hope ou well too. I am fine just a big hangover…..hehehe. Had the most fantastic time here yesterday. Went down to the Durban beach front and what a brilliant vibe there for the Soccer. Just magnificent. Even bought myself a vuvuzela. Now can blow it too. We all came back had lunch at the clubhouse and off to my mates house and watched the open of the wc and bafana’s game. Had a blast.
I enjoy the Irish a lot. Very similar to the Scots who are fanstastic people. So if you have Irish Blood. You great by me……hehehehehe

@ Rugby_Princess:
Then I’m always nice to meet 🙂

Nope, wouldn’t do that to a lady…I am too much of a gentleman, but I can’t vouch for the Bulls supporters on this site.
69@ Rugby_Princess:
Bwahahahaha
Nice to meet you too…. in Afrikaans, is: Ek le sommer nou met my bene oop.
Hehehehe
What I like about the Oirish is the fact that they pride themselves on their “paddy” which I assume is something like their temper…always up for a challenge.
Try #2 by Snake ! 😆
Tryyyyyy Conrad Smith… again
