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!
@ grootblousmile:
Yes, Frank, the Chairman of the Board, was by all accounts ‘connected’
Doesn’t detract from the fact that he was a great performer
29 @ grootblousmile:
haha – none that I know of … & I sure would have known coz she’s in regular contact with my mom
I see the theme is artists who are oooooooooold.
One of my favorite
Here’s one version of this rock anthem
30 @ Jeraldjay:
Great stuff!
32 @ Angostura:
We were talking about Weermag times on the other thread… and I had a girl at the time, die Dominee se dogter….
She made contact with me a couple of years ago via Facebook… am tempted to place a pic of her here, as she looks now… and maybe one when we initially went out…
And here’s another – that I only saw recently
30 @ Angostura:
Frank was past his best in ’74 but the emotion of the words makes it a classic.
The 1st time I laid eyes upon a certain 18 year old lass (a professional singer, yes, but not Dolly! lol) she was singing this song;
6 years later she (then my newly wedded wife) dedicated & sang the same song to me at our wedding reception; needless to say, for me (entirely on a personal level) the song is almost peerless:
40 @ Angostura:
Very nice, lucky man
37 @ grootblousmile:
NO, GBS
What’s private, stays private
Tis like attorney-client confidentiality, mon
40 @ Angostura:
Yeah, understandable… and should be no different!
42 @ Angostura:
Yip, thought so too…
@ grootblousmile:
That would be off sides. An immediate red card.
I remember this one, I was in std. 7 listening to my buddy’s LP in 1981
Singer and fiddler from Devon (I think):
46 @ Victoriabok:
Gosh you are showing your age now 😛
@VicBok 5
Enige 80’s was goeie ou jol dae.
Die liedjie hierbo was soort van ons Kollege theme.
@Jerald Jay Frank Sinatra
One of the most powerful songs and video to me, just love that one

Better?
25 years’ ago my wife & I lost a daughter, our 2nd of 3 children.
This almost destroyed my wife; in fact, one never completely gets over something like that.
As part of the healing process my wife produced a video of pictures of our little girl with this song as the background music; it has become the ‘ode’ to our daughter, & hence it is the other song which (on its own) is for me almost peerless (PS: I’m not fishing for sympathy; I post this coz it brings back precious memories, not coz it saddens me); Nat has such a rich texture to his voice:

Watter jaar was jy daar?
Ek was daar in ’86
“old” for some is quite recent for a lot of us
🙂
@ Angostura:
We all have that special song with special meaning.
@ Charo:
Speak for yourself you old geezer. 😆
