    Pietman… daai sandstorms… maak dit nie baie skade nie (behalwe natuurlik die vuilmaak)?

    Ek bedoel, flok dit nie vensters, aircons, karre op nie?

    Ek sou dink dit sandblast freegin alles.

    Ja, dis n taai, lymerige stof, kleef aan alles.
    Lugfilters op karre moet feitlik daagliks uitgeblaas word, lugreeling ook.
    Ek was sommer die huis met n tuinslang as die vrou nie hier is nie! Gelukkig alles marmer mure en vloere.
    Sien jou by die volgende wedstryd bruvva, tjeers eers.

    Tjort…

    Ek gaan gou nog rugby nuus opsit…

    I see SARU and SARPA (SA Rugby Players Association) are at loggerheads regarding SARU money to the Unions for Springbok players.

    We don’t need shit like this now!

    Cheetahs can climb 2 log points if they win with a bonus point this weekend(depending a lot on what the Hurricanes and Wara’s do this weekend)….might be bridge to far though….but I’m full of hope 🙂
