It’s PUB NIGHT!
The week started on a heavy note, my 2nd mom in ICU… and as “deurmekaar” as your regular Sharks supporter!
The PUB also celebrates old timers tonight, Ryecatcher, Angostura… and the softy, which is my stepmom, Nora Geldenhuys, a descendant of one of the big Ground Barons of the original Pretoria – General Opperman (who was a Boer General and closest neighbour of General Jan Smuts).
Of course we also received news this week of the retirement of a Springbok Old Timer and lock legend, Bakkies Botha!
What’s better than wishing these old folgies well and capping it off in the PUB?
This coming weekend the Springboks take on the last enemy on tour for 2014, Wales, who held the All Blacks till the 69th minute, this past weekend! One more BIG push for the Springboks, after a year filled with Super Rugby and a very busy International window.
The Springboks overseas contingent is now gone… back to their Clubs, as the International Window is already officially a thing of the past.
OK, let’s focus on the PUB tonight…. the idea with PUB NIGHT is to lighten up our dull Tuesday evenings with music, comedy and fun.
Rugby takes a backseat tonight as the clan and fellow rugby nutters gather and wheel in their old timer friends…
Read the rules below carefully, or you WILL get burnt!
Just for clarity sake, when someone does not adhere to the Rules of the PUB, EVERYBODY jumps on them and pummels them, right… understood?
Here’s how it works:
- Before you are allowed to greet, comment or take part in general discussion about anything else, you enter the PUB with a lekker Music Video found on Youtube.
- You copy the URL (web address) of the clip… and you make sure it is NOT the Mobile version of the URL (the Mobile version has a solitary “m” in the beginnig of the URL… just replace the “m” with “www” if there is a solitary “m” somewhere).
- Sometimes you have to replace the “http” part with “https” too… but we do not take excuses, we will pummel you anyway!
- You Paste the URL into the Comment Form Box of this Article and you SUBMIT your comment.
- Your video will appear in the Comments section.
- If you fail with your attempt and it does not appear, we WILL kak you out, we will pummel you with insults… and LAUGH at you, you silly muppit!
- Once you have a successful Video loaded, you can take part in the discussion and add more music, but beware, every broken link will cop you an “Uitkak” and a laugh at your expense.
- Failure to abide by the rules, will be punished by requiring you to say a seriously denigrating thing about the Provincial / Club side you support and asking all of us, by name, for forgiveness and acknowledging our clear superiority.
- Most important rule: Nobody is allowed to get angry… this is all in good fun!
Fire away!
We’ll have to have an old song tonight, one that is fitting so as not to make the Old Age Home feel unwelcome!
Come on, show me up, do better than me!
HELLO all, thought the song just posted was a lekker version of it. Just popping in for a bit hope its a good night in the Pub.
While on the lively ones, a group from western Scotland:
Another Washington Irving tune I enjoy, almost anthemic:
From the days of my youth, and probably GBS and Nortie’s as well?
One of all time favourite duets, kick off your shoes put up your feet and get lekker rustig:
@ Victoriabok:
Hello VicBok, great taste, love The Police and Sting
This is a cool band went to see with my best mate and his wonderful wife from SA when they visited here, can’t believe it was almost years ago, miss them loads, what a jol we had that night:
@ Bullscot:
oops meant to say almost 3 years ago, quite fitting the recording was from a gig in that same year
Bullscot, do you like Nina Simone?
She’s more famous for “My baby just cares for me” but I like her version of the Beatles’ “Here comes the sun”
Maybe because the sun is a rare sight in a grey BC winter as well 😛
12 @ Victoriabok:
Check, I left you a message on the TRIBUTE to Bakkies thread
Not real music but seeing that Frik was mentioned today on the other thread
Wow.
One of the most under rated groups ever.
17 @ Jeraldjay:
Yeah, they were good!
My first musical recollection is of my father singing this in the bathroom:
12 @ Victoriabok:
Don’t know her music too much other than the song you mentioned, but she has a lovely voice
Angostura wrote:
My parents love him as well
17 @ Jeraldjay:
Hi Jeraldjay agree with you there, great band from Glasgow, can’t believe they have been going for 25 years
Right just about tea time, will try pop back from a totsiens song before get on my horse and trot in to work.
Another memory: Dancing close up with the girls to this at my 1st teenage party:
23 @ Bullscot:
Flok, mens drink nie tee hierdie tyd van die aand nie, mens vat ietsie sterker as dit!
24 @ Angostura:
My Dad did not like Frank Sinatra, he said Frankie had Mob Connections, who pushed him!
This reminds me of good times with my 1st girlfriend:
28 @ Angostura:
How many Grandchildren has she got now Ango?
One of greatest moments caught on camera. imo.
