JFK you know at this stage i am spending all my moola in the development of the place, i did not start off with a big investment, i worked every cent i made back into the barren African soil. Nothing is more satisfying to see how spring is coming now to reward my hard work. The place looks better day after day, if i had a million to invest i could have been further but i would never have enjoyed it this much.
If i can have a last wish , it would be for a new back.
OK bragged enough 😆 back to rugby.
@ superbokspringJan:
Ou Grote, ek praat met almal.
Ons opinies is wat maak ans almal uniek, en wat maak Rugby uniek, en ek het respek vir almal se opinies en idees. (Behalwe Cheeky Watson)
Hell, ek praat met die WP en FS ondersteuners ook.
