    nounet op die volgende afgekom:

    Belangrike boodskap aan alle dames:

    Komende naweek is die begin van die Super Rugby reeks van 2012. Tydens hierdie belangrike gebeurtenis is daar ‘n paar dinge wat julle moet weet en verstaan.

    1. As jy ‘n Mmm hoor na ‘n vraag wat jy gevra het, beteken dit – Gaan, geniet dit. Moenie die kar stamp nie en moenie meer as R50 spandeer nie. Maak gou. Bring klam biltong met ‘n vetjie, tesame met 12 koue biere, ‘n pak chips, rump steak, wors(bykos), skaaptjops(bykos) en charcoal.

    2. Skuif vroegtydig die meubels sodat jy glad nie tussen die rugby-kenner en die TV stel verbybeweeg nie. Om dit poedel-nakend kaal te doen gaan geen verskil maak nie.

    3. Hou jou opruimende gedagtes vir na die wedstryd.

    4. Halftyd, beseringstyd en tussen wedstryde is bedoel dat die man ‘n draai kan loop. Pee. Moenie dan kom onbenullige vrae vra soos: “Moet daar water by die ceiling uitdrip?” of “moet daar vlamme by die kar se dashboard uitkom?” Los dit tot na die game.

    Baie dankie byvoorbaat vir julle samewerking. Ons is lief vir julle, julle lyk great in daai nuwe rok en nee jou ma kan nie kom kuier nie. Sien julle weer raak in November as die rugby replays boring raak

    Liewe Mans, in antwoord op jul dringende boodskap…
    1) Ons verdien meer as R50 ‘n maand & betaal ons eie kar en aangesien die rugby eers die naweek begin…gaan koop jou eie eetgoed!
    2) Moenie …worry oor die meubels nie. Ons skuif sommer die TV en jou kampstoel uit motorhuis toe dan kan jy in rus en vrede jou rugby kyk!
    3) Ons is darem nie so onhandig om nie ‘n plan te maak met die ceiling wat lek en die dashboard wat aan die brand is nie – buurman langs aan sal tog te bly wees as ons poedel nakend kom vra om hulp…
    So kyk mooi na ons in ons nuwe rok want teen die einde November gaan ons nie net ‘n nuwe klerekas hê nie maar ook ‘n gretige buurman en jy meneer…sal net jou boring rugby replays hê om jou besig te hou. Groete: Julle vrouens!

    Keep it for the season then. Bulls gonna play a few away games in that strip and then for the season on those days you have to go pink on this site too.

    Okay now out of here. Tjorts. Hope that is right, so Cheers all.
