@ nortierd:
kia ora katou
surprised they let you take pics to be honest, you know they have two air force ones?
Hellooooo!
See you at the next game, off onto the bank and barbers quickly, for an old style shave,long blade/leather belt Chicago style….no time to even shave today, will do it in Goosebay!
151 @ nga puhi:
Hello!
Where have you been for months and months?
@ nga puhi:
Kia ora manu! Welcome here….again.
See ya around.
Landers just can’t finish it off
152 @ Pietman:
Hello Pieta!
The bank I can understand, but letting another oke shave me with a blade which has shaved so many Arabs… no thanks…. hehehe
@ grootblousmile: kia ora GBS, been busy with life, all good though.. have read for a while just not commented or anything, “in cognito” much like a maori sidestep 😀
@ Pietman:
good to see you still kicking boet, this shave, is that to remove your Elvis sideburns? (I still remember the pic)
156 @ grootblousmile: Either Pietman is just far too trustworthy, or his brain is addled from all that home brew he has been consuming in the desert!
157 @ nga puhi:
Good to have you back… we need some NZ perspective here… otherwise we go totally EMO on our rivalry with you lot…. hehehe
159 @ Just For Kicks:
I worry about Pieta there in Arab country…. hehehe
More almal.
Just popping in now and then, Mrs Stormersboy is having her 20th 22nd birthday so I am on drinks duty.
Will check in when I can
Goo Stormers!
@ nga puhi:
Yep, both landed
Re the photos, the press was there for that reason, so they got the opportunity, therefor everyone who was there took as well
We took some as it landed, but mostly after he left, then it was just those who were supposed to be there so it was much more quiet
Jeez Ma’a Nonu’s been quiet…
@ grootblousmile:
Emo? lol thats passion isnt it? but if harnessed correctly it works miracles, much like my blues tonight
@ Stormersboy:
😀
Well said
162 @ Stormersboy:
Hello Stormpoppie!
Can you Author the Stormers match tonight?
At last, phew, they made hard work of that!!!
Try Hosea Gear!
TMO
Looks good though
Awarded!
@ nortierd:
lol
one of those once in a lifetime things, glad you got pics, some of us who know how you operate on your superbru administrator account wouldnt believe you otherwise
@ grootblousmile:
Sure, can you set it up and I will do the commentary?
Great try Gear
now the Saders need to score twice to make me happy
Why didn’t these Landers play like this from the beginning of the tourney?
Crusaders 20 / 12 Highlanders
@ nortierd:
Nice to see you here boet.
A good addition to the site, another Gauteng based stormers fan.
🙂
That isn’t going to bode well – red for Nonu
165 @ nga puhi:
I think the stats are 9 wins for the Sharks in a row against the Blues.
I personally think The Sharks will be playing for passion tonight after Plumtree was ousted.
@ nga puhi:
Ha ha
Captain’s prerogative
Ma’a Nonu cops a RED Card!
