I’m all over the heartburn stuff…
This Footlong is Skoonbrand Sasol…. ringsting se moer!
Lekker gewees om met Sharky te praat!
Begin so stadigaan die manne opline,miskien moet ek daai geharde Stormer Boerboel van Kalahari ook bel en hom bietjie kuk byt hehehehehe! Hy is net hier om die draai van my.
Apart from one very nice run, this match hasn’t lived up to my expectations at all. Thought the Landers would be running riot
2 Nd Half ON!
Phweeew, this Chilli Footlong is TALKING to me!
Try Hosea Gear again
Highlanders 20 / 6 Blues
Will the Landers run away with it now?
Another one sided game.
Fire, fire!
50@ grootblousmile:If if is, I’d be worried, mate. Means it’s no a real footlong. Could be a turkey in disguise – be careful
Gooi water, gooi sand, my mond is aannie brand!
56 @ Just For Kicks:
Freegin hell, I’m talking in tongues here!
How sad is that, Ali Williams 100th game, and they don’t let him start
@ grootblousmile:Shame GBS – have a beer mate, that’ll sort it
