It is just a few days till Christmas, or as the little ones would say, just 6 sleeps. I decided to once again do a Christmas Greetings video for all you muppits, moepels and mopkoppe, but also to keep it till a bit later to force you to come back and back to Rugby-Talk till I hit you with the clanger!
So, this is not your merry, merry, happy, happy article, but a precurser to the clanger.
The question is, what are you all up to for the holidays, what are your plans? Who are you happy about seeing over the festive season and who are you dreading to invite or see? Where are you going and when are you coming back from holiday?
Who’s working right through? Personally I’m closing the office to the public from the afternoon of Friday 23 December 2011 till the morning of 3 January 2012.
Whilst every bloody Vaalie and Soppiekoppie are at the coast or hoarding the better holiday spots, I will stay at home! I do not want to see the same idiots I see on a daily basis, just at a different venue, thank you very much! I will go away, like I usually do, once they are all back where they belong!
So, tell me, who’s promised to fix this and that at home, to do those things which never gets done in a busy year’s schedule?
Well, I have plans of my own…
I have plenty to do…
I’m going to re-pack my garages, fix the jaccuzzi, kill the freegin ant plague in and around our house and yard, fix the electrical fault under a wooden floor, varnish the wooden deck and install one extra deck roof pole, pressure clean the driveway…. and scour a number of marks on the fibre glass of the pool.
I will build up so many brownie points that I will be a happy camper, full time, for the next year!
Of course, I believe in working smarter and not harder, so here’s how I plan to do it…
- Firstly, I will recruit two upstanding willing souls, who can sand, paint, carry heavy stuff… for a few days.
- Secondly, I will delegate duties to them…. and set them to work properly.
- Thirdly I will pour me a loooong “meisiebier” or “sletsap” as I call them, then sit in the pool with a couple of household potscourers and scour the marks on the fibre glass.
- Fourthly, upon realising that my looong drink is finished, from time to time, I will get out of the pool, bark some more orders, point some fingers, and then pour myself another looong “sletsap”.
- Fifthly, I will repeat steps tree and four till I’m satisfied that I have done EVERYTHING on my list of chores….
- Sixthly, I will braai at least once a day… or have BonzaiGBS do it for me.
It’s hark work, I know, yeah it’s a tough life… and I know you guys don’t envy the arduous process that I’ll be going through, and the physical strain it’ll take on my body, but hey, someone’s GOT TO do it!
Oh, and then I’ll work on a bit of a revamp to the look and feel of Rugby-talk, one that I have been threatening to do for a while now…
…. and of course there is still the cricket to look forward to, a bit of other sport… Christmas and New Year… food, food, food, party, party, party…
Come onnnnnnnnn, tell me about your plans!

Geluk 4man mag ons nog vele jare jou vriendskap geniet, is altyd lekker om jou comments te lees. As jy stil is hier voel die plek net nie reg nie.
Mag hulle jou lekker bederf en geniet die res van jou verjaarsdag.

Mulled Wine:
I bottle of red wine
1 x Cinnamon Stick
Touch of grated Nutmeg
1 orange halved
1 x dried Bay Leaf
60 grammes Demmera Sugar
Bung the lot in a saucepan over a gentle heat (do NOT boil) and stir until the sugar is disolved. Then test and add more sugar if you like it a bit sweeter.
Either strain or pick the ‘bits’ out before serving. Very popular on a cold winters evening. You should try it, great way of getting rid of ‘dodgy’ red wine!!
You are right a NH Christmas is so different from a SH Christmas.
Like your snowflakes btw!
Remember to smile on the ‘Christmas Message’ !! Hehehheh
@ 4man:
Hey 4man, many, many Happy Returns of the day.
What a terrible time of year for a birthday…..!! Your card arrived yesterday, we will have to make a plan for you and Mrs 4man to do a Cotswold Visit shortly.
Have a great evening though.
@ superBul:
Here’s my thoughts….Get that unit thatched!!
Good luck…
GBS how is the video coming along?
The Santa hat will be a grave error btw!!
33 @ Blue Bird:
So Mulled Wine works as follows…
You take a perfectly good bottle of Red wine… which wine experts like Just For Kicks have slaved over, to make it the perfect item, then muck it up totally!
Then you drink the concoction….
Oi vei!!
36 @ Blue Bird:
Freegin hell, it’s difficult to smile when you have a camera on you, even when you do it yourself….
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
37@ grootblousmile:Even I love mulled wine! My wife makes the best I have ever tasted, we’ll have to get you down to share some, but it has to be on a cold night, it just doesn’t have the same effect in the middle of summer. I also find it is nicer the better the wine is – but then I’m probably just a heathen!
39 @ Just For Kicks:
Must be a British thing… hehehe
Just joking, I drink Sangria when the occasion is right, or Gluhwein (German variant of Mulled Wine)….
40@ grootblousmile:If you’ve had gluhwein, you’ve as good as had mulled wine
@ grootblousmile:ek onthou daai brakpan vloede goed voor jy kan se o hel ek moet ry liefie gee my broek, dan is al twee duikwee oorstroom en die hele brakpan se verkeer moet oor die brenthurst brug via prince george dorp toe chaos gewees dan….
