It is BonzaiHandbriekie’s birthday today…. last night we went out on the town to one of the pubs with plenty of live music and a nice atmosphere… we attacked the tequilas and a few Jeagie Bombs with a bit of verve… so today I drink coffee only…. hehehe
… of course I’m having some Condensed Milk as well to replenish the sugar levels…
2nd Half ON!
Game on.
I don’t have a problem with the ref, so far; he is calling it as he sees it.
A try goes begging for the Saders…. SBW and Fruean doing the damage
Penalty to the Reds at the scrum… too far out to go for posts
Sir Surfer almost through…
