@ grootblousmile:
Absolutely. Go on, you need your beauty sleep.
173@ bdb:Not really, just desperate to bask in your glorious wisdom – just not sure when it’s coming, because I’ve learnt nothing new yet! Hehehe
182: silence is wisdom ..
Lol….ek is n idioot!! Sien nou eers ek het na die NZ/Auz rugby tye gekyk om te sien watse games op vandag wys. Nou is ek happy!!!! Go Cheetahs….en Sharks!!!
@ bdb:
so perhaps you should like…. practice it???
Cya all later for the FS/Tahs game
Aviva Cup final up next. Harlequins vs Leicester. We can carry on here if anyone is interested
185@ The_Young_Turk: Perhaps he could just stick his hand up or something, just so we know he isn’t about to say anything wise. Otherwise we just won’t know how wise it was, or wasn’t
187@ Just For Kicks:
Yip less than 5 minutes till kick off at Twickenham, are you getting to watch the game JFK? I will have to settle for radio commentary this side.
GO HARLEQUINS!
189@ Bullscot:It’s live here, so I can watch it for a bit. I’m the other way, Go Leicester!
Players coming out
Fark, Handbriekie is sitting in bed, typing furiously on her Notebook…. working… whilst watching some kak soapie on M-Net.
So, no sleep for a sinner… in stead I’ll watch a bit of the Aviva Cup Final with you guys!
Fokkie soapies!
190@ Just For Kicks:
Ok sounds good enjoy watching, its actually quite nice to follow on the radio a bit of a blast from the past really and the commentators always make the game sound more interesting on radio, but not happy to hear who is coming on radio to do the commentary.
@ Bullscot:Can you not watch on VIPBox
@ grootblousmile:Hahahaha, I love it!!!!
I’ll have to support Quins… I played for SA’s version of Quins in SA, Harlequins Club in Pretoria… in my younger days
Harlequins with first blood
Harlequins 3/0 Leicester
Sounds like Tuilaggi was lucky to get away with that but at least now Evans gets penalty over Harlequins 3 – 0 Leicester
Goooooo Jokers!
196@ grootblousmile: Don’t worry, I’m getting used to being the odd one out – and a thickie at that!
198@ Bullscot:Wasn’t that bad, deserved a penalty only
194@ Just For Kicks:
Maybe if I had a look for it but busy here so listening with one ear to the rugby
Another penalty attempt by Evans, but off the post. Tigers not kicking away
Now they do. Take play up to over 22
I only support Quins cos I like the strip!!!
Quins in the corner. Try time
Tryyyyyyyy Quins!
Try for Tom Williams for Quins!!!
205 @ bean1:
Do you like to strip??
Wow….
Kickers…. what type of business do you run there on the farm??
Conversion missed
Quins 8/0 Tigers
