    Daar skiet ek met n mooi 2.5 punte op op Sbru na 13 de plek……oooo nee ek bly maar 13de

    OK, I’m off… like a Jewish foreskin…. still busy with plenty of work to completely revamp my Work desks here in the office.

    Changing my situation here so that I can effectively work on 12 Client Computers at once, from 3 23″ LG LED Monitors with their keyboards and mice (VIA KVM SWITCHING)… plus of course my Main PC, Notebook and Server.

    It includes rubberised anti-static tops and nealy laid Trunking and a host of Network infrastructure.

    @ grootblousmile:
    jammer jy het so gou begin ek sou jou kom help het

    Hoekom speel hulle op Tuks se tuisveld? Het Ikeys dan nie bo hulle geeindig op die log nie?

  • 125

    hey ou grote ek aan die anderkant het nog 23 jaar oor

  • 126

    Hoop die Ikeys kan die ding doen. Dan kan hulle dit in die donnerse Maties se gesigte vryf! Lg dink mos nog altyd hulle is die uitverkore volk van rugby, en arme Ikeys trek altyd aan die verkeerde kant. Liberaal of te not, hulle doen die laaste paar jaar uitstekend met minder resources as die ander grotes.

Dok Craven se kinnertjies dink mos nog altyd hulle is die uitverkore volk van rugby, en arme Ikeys trek altyd aan die verkeerde kant hier in die Kaap. Liberaal of te not, hulle doen die laaste paar jaar uitstekend met minder resources as die ander grotes.

    As an added bonus, Tuks will now host the 2011 final on April 11 – due to UCT’s lights not being fit to deal with a 7pm televised match – giving the Men from Pretoria yet another welcome shot in the arm.
