@ grootblousmile: Drink some milk
Ooooh la laaaaaaaaaa!
Mean freegin Porra… there must be 2 whole freegin chillies on this thing!
Fark, this game is boring
57 @ grootblousmile:
Yip, if it is burning your mouth, it is burning your stomach….. hehehe.
@ grootblousmile:I think I’d like your footlong, at least its a bit more challenging than this drivel
65 @ Puma:
Years ago, we were all invited to my good friend, Greg’s birthday bash at a Portugese restaurant….
Needless to say, the drinks flowed.
Well, there were bowls of fresh chillies on the tables, so I dared Greg for each of us to eat a chilly just like that…. well, we ended up eating a whole bowl of chillies each.
Greg ended up in hospital…. still not sure whether it was the copious amounts of alcohol to douse the fires or the chillies, which did it!
Hahahaha
Think I’ve gone blind…. can’t see the rugby through the tears of joy!
67@ grootblousmile:
Probably both.
Damn man gbs, this bloody thing has started again. Just posted a post and it says ‘This website declined to show this page’ WHY has it started up again? Was going well this week now AGAIN out of the blue it bombs me out?
Easy try to Tompson
Try Adam Thompson… bonus point
Highlanders 27 / 6 Blues
Fark, my ears are sweating!
Blues penalty, right in front, 5m out.
Yellow Card for Phil Burleigh
A yellow for Burleigh
Blues with the advantage here, a few quick tries will get them right back into the game
76 @ Just For Kicks:
Well, they need one converted one for my Bru!
No such luck. Both teams determined to piss me off with bad rugby. Hope the next game is a bit better!
Man, this footlong was truly awesome!
@ grootblousmile:I need 2 converted Landers tries – I’ve given up on that one. Now just desperate for the Blues to take it. But they’re doing their utmost to piss on that fire!
Try Tevita Mailau… for the Blues
As I say that, Tevita Mailau scores. More please!!!
Highlanders 27 / 13 Blues
Kyk, nou is ek so wakker soos ‘n rakker!
Blues penalty…. kickable
10 Minutes to go
Back to 15 a side
Just no regular fluidity in the Blues
Come on Blues
Blues penalty, 8m out, centre field… tap and go
Weepu over…. held up… scrum 5
