Well some sport to look forward to later. This type of game though you just never know who will win. We should but not always the case.
Go Proteas!
Is Smith out yet?
GO PROTEAS!
T20 is always fun, but it can always fall either way too.
Should be fun tonight!
Good to see Kirsten bringing in the new talent, and great to see Faf leading the team. Go boys
Hello JFK good to be online here at same time as you, hope you’re all doing good in spite of all the wind and rain.

6 @ Bullscot:
Helloooooooooooo!
Hi Bully, and GBS – yup, Bully, nice to see you awake in normal hours for a change!!!
@ Bullscot:Are you going to the Glasgow/Edinburgh match later? I unfortunately can’t. We are winging our way up to my outlaws down in Stranraer on Monday only, so will miss it. I think, looking at the season so far, Edinburgh will be in for a hiding though.
8 @ Just For Kicks:
Yes its nice to be off today, just trying to multitask a bit here, just put the Aviva article up since my last comment will quickly try get the Pro12 one up then I gotta dash and finish my wrapping before the girls get back.
@ Bullscot:Oh, yes, Bully, wheres this damn snow you promised my son? Positively barmy weather at the moment. We even have puddles big enough to swim in at the moment!
9 @ Just For Kicks:
No unfortunately not man but will hopefully catch some of it on TV, you should be able to see it if you got a sky box,we should get it on freeview up here but don’t know if you get same channels on freeview down there that we do, bit rushed now but can let you know later if and what channel it will be on. Thats great you will be up in Stranraer to see you in-laws if you’re staying all week you may want to catch the return 1872 match at Murrayfield next Saturday.
@ Bullscot:What channel will it be on on free view?
11 @ Just For Kicks:
No no no, you bad man didn’t promise you snow, or anything worthwile anyway
Hi there too Cheetah, sorry for the delay there just trying to do too many things at once, hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
7 @ grootblousmile:
Hello GBS hows your hand feeling? See you run away now, I’ll need to soon as well.
16 @ Bullscot:
Went for the wound inspection at hospital a bit earlier… all seems fine.
Hand is a bit uncomfy and sore though.
… and just like me, I am not keeping the hand still, still instructing the painter, taking light fittings blinds and rails off, repairing stuff with the hot glue gun ect..
13 @ Just For Kicks:
Just checked its going to on TV on BBC Alba as I said not sure if you get BBC Alba where you are on freeview but if you do you may find it on just need to run to check TV…freeview Channel 8 up here. BBC Alba is also on SKY channel 168 if you have access to that. Must dash and finish being Santa to wrap the gifts still got one more to pick up, only got about an hour now, say hi to Mrs JFK too
Must say, our Article Threads are still flowing nicely, think we chose EXACTLY the right time to start with the Super Rugby squad contender articles for the SA Franchises.
No real slump here at all… maybe a bit quiter than in season, but we’re still going strong.
See some other sites like SuperSport, Ruggaworld and a few others have almost pitched tent for now, not much new eminating from them at the moment.
I prefer to keep things flowing here rather than shut up shop for the festive period and beyond.
A new blogger with the name Grumpy has registered, wonder if he is one of Snow White’s little chaps…. hehehe
19 @ grootblousmile:
Yeah I think its good policy for you to have GBS keeps folk interested, and remember there is a whole world of rugby going on here up north, and we have the cricket on as well, so its not all about the southern hemisphere rugby
17 @ grootblousmile:
Thats good your hand is looking ok, maybe you should try take it a bit easy to help it heal quicker, you the only one who will have to suffer longer if you don’t rest it properly.
22 @ Bullscot:
Difficult for me to rest… I just am not that way inclined.
Things need doing here at the house and Handbriekie and myself are directing the traffic…
Go Proteas.
