@ grootblousmile:Thanks gbs. Jeez, Jimmy was the greatest. One forgets sometimes. Prince almost as good.
@ grootblousmile:92 …hahaha. With watching all the youtube clips. Missed the last 20min of the Rugby.
Well done to the Reds, but for the saffa sides wanted Force to win this one.

It’s just one that I vividly remember when I look back through the haze of too much alcohol induced hooliganism and violence and all of the sh1t that went with it.
They were tearaway times, even when I’d left Mud Island and came to SA.
If you really want to know how real “punk” sounds, listen to “Bodies” by the Sex Pistols, and check the lyrics.
Today’s pretenders haven’t got a cookin clue.
94@ Puma:
The music is good though… something completely different!
95@ Scrumdown:
Sex Pistols – Bodies:
@ grootblousmile:85 – Cheers thanks boeta. The Jagger/Bowie cover of the song was brilliant as well. Reminds me of the world cup last year. We all here sang that song after Holland beat Brazil in the quarter final….hahaha. Hope I am doing the same after Sharks/Lions game today.
Now back to tv or will miss the Sharks game.
Let’s mosey on over to the Lions / Sharks thread… game starts in a few minutes
@ grootblousmile:96 – Really enjoyed the music here boeta. Missed most of the 2nd half of the Reds/Force game cause of it…..hehehe.
100@ Puma:
