Each year I dread the Rugby Off-season at the end of the year!
We are almost at the end of an arduous, yet much shorter rugby season here in the Southern Hemisphere for 2011.
We can still look forward to the Currie Cup Final, the finals of the two junior groups (Under 21 and Under 19), the Barbarians game on 26 November (if memory serves me well) and a Wallaby / Wales game around the same time.
In addition we have the scraps of the first IRB Sevens Tournament of the new season, in South Africa, to be held in Port Elizabeth in the beginning of December.
… but that is about it…
We’ll have to watch some Northern Hemisphere Rugby, sigh, and a lot of cricket… and spend some quality time with our families.
Personally I have some things to attend to around the house and garden! Ja mammie, jy’t reg gehoor, moenie op jou rug val nie!
After a hard year I need to get out a bit as well, work on the tan, get some excercise on the Squash courts and Golf courses… what a lovely excuse…
“Honey, I need to go play golf to keep fit!” … hahaha
But you know what, soon I’ll be counting the days till the new rugby season starts… and you’ll be doing exactly the same!
Of course we’re not closing the site down over the off-season, we’re going to chat the hind leg of a few donkeys, right?
Here’s a thought – Who’s in favour of a Rugby-Talk Golf Day in December… and a long 19th hole afterwards? We’ll play “Skins” and I’ll take all your money! Those who do not play have to learn fast, or caddy… and of course see that we’re not thirsty whilst playing!
Golf day is a great idea.
If you get enough people I’ll help you organise it and make sure we get a really good day organised.
Maybe we could look at raising a few buffels for a decent (Rugby) cause out of it?
Happy to donate a case or two prizes for a cause and/or to the 19th – only decent hole on the whole course!
1 @ Scrumdown:
We just need to select an easy course, I don’t want to spend the day doing a “Moer-en-soek” excercise!
2 @ Just For Kicks:
I’ll donate as well… I’ll donate a couple of donner and bliksems on the course.
Fark, have not played since last December, apart from the hacking around at Sin City….
3@ grootblousmile:
Bwahahaha.
If it was meant to be easy, we’d all have the bank accounts of Luke Donald and Tiger!
Mind you, those two can’t do my job.
I’ll do some homework and get us a nice “club course” that’s not going to leave us all swearing afterwards.
What area do you prefer?
ek gaan lang verlof vat my beste pel se skorro skorro uno vat my ketty in pak,dirtbin toe sukkel en kingspark traai plat skiet…..
5 @ Scrumdown:
Truth be told, I don’t know… suppose it’ll have to be here in Gautengeleng…. we’ll have to convince the rich wine farmers to make a weekend of it, fly up.
The guys in the Vrystaat have no excuse, it is just down the drag…
We’ll get a special Golf Cart for Oupa Puma and his wobbly knees.
Loskoppie will be the chef…
Old SuperBees will have to get into his oxwagon, with some tree ferns to sell to cover his costs….
@ smallies72:
dalk my generator en jigsaw saam vat en die plek traai los saag van die land af en die see in tou dat dit maar n aparte land word.sal net die toyota fabriek moet op my bakkie laai en parys toe vat
5 @ Scrumdown:
They asked me nicely to take part in the Million Dollar at Sin City… but I flatly refused…. hahaha
7@ grootblousmile:If you find a rich wine farmer, do me a favour and drop me a line, my wife always said she wanted to marry one, and this way I can send her in the right direction!
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehe
Always wonder how good your Afrikaans might be…
“Jy kla nou al weer met die wit brood onner die arm, swaer!”
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Spoke to BonzaiHandbriekie last night about the Ghoemas (had the spelling wrong yesterday)… she is full of ideas… like having the Celebrity Photo shoot at your Estate.
She’s also talking of exposure on a wide scale… Rapport, Jacaranda 94.2, Kyknet, Branding at the event…
Ghoemas is somewhere in March.
@ grootblousmile:
wat is dit?
13 @ smallies72:
Nuwe Afrikaanse Musiektoekennings….. gaan flippen groot wees.
Iets soos die Grammy’s… vir Afrikaanse Musiek
@ grootblousmile:
ooooooooo…..enige natallers betrokke?
15 @ smallies72:
Glo nie… ek het mos gesê dit gaan GROOT wees.
Hahaha
@ grootblousmile:
maak tog nie saak nie dis tog net die paar boere laaities wat gepoach is wat afr magtig is daar
12@ grootblousmile:Sounds awesome, but she’d have to see the farm first! We’d have to give the shacks a new lick of corrugated iron, and get rid of the feral cats. No, in all seriousness, love the idea though. And my afrikaans is appalling although I have to attempt to communicate with it every day, but I tell you what, I may have a loaf under my arm, but it is being chewed rapidly from both ends!!!
@ Just For Kicks:And the bank is still asking for butter on their half!
19 @ Just For Kicks:
Daar is niks so permanent soos tydelike skuld nie!
I’ll just go into withdrawal and curl up into a ball and pray for the Super rugby season to arrive early.
