    @ Pietman:
    Het gisteraand karooskaap kerrie geeet.

    Vrou wou vir my wildspastei gegee het, (ook van CAO af) maar dit is nie my koppie tee nie.

    Jy moet oppas daar tussen die kameel joggies, dit lyk vir my die Arabiese wereld is besig om ongeduldig te raak vir hulle regeringe.

    Net vir Ash dat hy nie altyd dink die Bulls pick op hom nie:

    “Twee Kaapies sit en suip teen die muur buite Nuweland. Die een vra toe aan die ander,
    “Gatiep, wat sal djy doen as djy die lotto wen?’ “Nei” sê Gatiep, “ek koep eerste vir my ‘n bierlorrie en drink totdat ek dik gesuip is, en dan koep ek die hele Blou Bul Span”
    “Djy koep die Blou Bul Span… maar why? …” Djy wiet mos as ‘n man dronk is koep hy enige kak. “

    #50 I know Scrumdown hehehe, Bulls are sometimes jittery in their first few games although last year they came out guns blazing…but I would not throw away the Lions as with Mitchell there one can never count them out.

    Loosehead on 17 February 2011 at 2:31 pm

    What is it with the Sharks and announcing their team? They try to play mind games by with holding the info or announcing a team only to change it just before kick off.
    Watch them announce a team with Adrian Garvey at 3, Steve Atherton at 4, Kevin Putt at 9 and Jouba at 15…………………..they should be docked points for these senseless mind games.
