Friends,

Birthday celebrations are in order for Rugby-Talk today, we’re a year old, TODAY!!

Happy, happy… and a big thank you!

At 12:00 SA Time we throw the blog open to unregistered users as well for the day… hoping they behave according to your and my standards here!

I will have a few words to say when the celebrations start… to spell out what has transpired on Rugby-Talk in this short year and what our immediate plans are for the future, what the plans are on the commercial side here at Rugby-Talk, et cettera.

I will send out an E-Mail circular this morning to all registered users, kindly forward it to every Rugby-Talk Blogger you know, let’s see how many of our bloggers we can gather here for the celebrations this afternoon! It might just get totally crazy here if we manage to get everybody here!

Of course, no rugby blog will be complete without some fun and a good old rugby game to blog on… so we’ll cover the Leopards vs Sharks Currie Cup match in the evening and we’ll spread the celebrations over to Saturday as well where we will cover both the Lions vs Cheetahs as well as the WP vs Blue Bulls games.

There were suggestions that we hold a function at a venue here in the Johannesburg area… well that would be a bit unfair seeing as our readership basically spans the globe, so plans will be made for a few get-togethers in due time in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban… and possibly in England and amongst the Ozzmob and the Kiwi’s as well.

In the meantime, charge your drinks… we will each cyber celebrate today!

Time stands still for no-one, so I have not had sufficient time to finish the “NEW LOOK AND FEEL” of the web site and have decided that we’ll celebrate our birthday with our “OLD JACKET” still firmly in place… to be replaced and tested by the new one in a few days time. It probably also makes more sense to stick with the familiar and gradually move over to the new format.

Hope you have a fabulous day.

Treat each other well, treat our visitors like they belong here… and goooooooooooooooi mielieeeeeessssssssss!

Regards,

grootblousmile

    Congratulations And Celebrations lyrics
    Congratulationsand celebrations
    When I tell everyone that you’re in love
    with me
    Congratulations
    and jubilations
    I want the world to know I’m happy as can be.

    Who could believe that I could be happy and
    contented
    I used to think that happiness hadn’t been
    invented
    But that was in the bad old days beforeI met you
    When I let you
    walk into my heart

    Congratulations…

    I was afraid that maybe you thought you
    were above me
    That I was only fooling myself to think you
    loved me
    But then tonight you said you couldn’t live
    without me
    That round about me
    You wanted to stay

    Congratulations…

    Congratulationsand jubilations
    I want the world to know I’m happy as can be
    I want the world to know
    I’m happy as can be

    GBS and all @ R-T

    Congrat’s on your 1st anniversary.

    Unlike other blog sites it’s always a pleasure to read the comments and to pass comments where applicable.

    A hearty “thank you”.

    Congrats to GBS for this great site that he has maintained for this year.

    And the founding members; GBS and Ed. Making the move from The Dark Side was a good move.

    Congratulations and well done GBS, I am sure this website has exceeded your expectations from when you kicked off.

    And our friend Puma, the serial blogger and the voice of reason on RT.

    @ Snoek:

    What about your dog, your squeeze and your agent.

    sooooooooooooooo
    I’ve decided to buy GBS a gift to celebrate RT’s birthday.
    Before opening the gift, GBS shook it slightly, and noticed that it was wet in the corner. Touching his finger to the wet spot and tasting it, he asked, “A bottle of wine?”
    I replied, “No.”
    Again, he touched his finger to the box and tasted the liquid. “A bottle of scotch?”
    “I AGAIN replied, “No.”
    Finally GBS said, “I give up. What is it?”
    so I relied, “A puppy.”

    gooooooooooooooodmorning everyone
    and
    happy birthday Rugby Talk …. the place btw where i am the only one TALKING RUGBY!!!
    yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

    A Blonde airhead goes for a job interview in an office.
    The interviewer starts with the basics.
    “So, Miss, can you tell us your age, please?”
    The blonde counts carefully on her fingers for half a minute before replying “Ehhhh… 22!”
    The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice.
    “And can you tell us your height, please?”

    The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag. She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head. She checks the measurement and announces “Five foot two!”

    This isn’t looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics; something the interviewee won’t have to count, measure, or lookup.
    “Just to confirm for our records, your name please?”

    The airhead bobs her head from side to side for about ten seconds, mouthing something silently to herself, before replying “MANDY!”

    The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage, so he asks –
    “What in the world were you doing when I asked you your name?”

    “Ohhhh, that!” replies the airhead…
    ” I was just running through that song –
    ‘Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear…’ “
