    Ja, baie populer… ek dink die aanvanklike ontwerper was Mark Mullenweg, maar dit sal nie sin maak vir hulle om weg te beweeg van verniet nie, want daar is heelwat kompeterende Blogging Platforms, soos Drupal, Blogger ect, ect…

    71 @ nortierd:
    Okay. Then he must be married to a saffa lady, could be the reason he is living here. Somehow also think Mitchell is married to a saffa lady as is Plum.

    Right, no chance of a GSP, so I will be hoping the Reds do the business tonight, sorry Tjaarkies, but I only want you to win if I can get something out of it, and everyone will have picked the Sharks, so it’s one way of stopping other from getting a GSP if they lose

    The harder they will try, the more errors they will make leading to more Force points
