bdb
Asjy nou nie so ‘n stoere bloubul was nie sou ek gedink het dis omdat jy iets verkeerds oor Pierre Spies gesê het. Soos “Spies tackle soos sy gat”.. 😆
CAROL
Its the sound of thunder!! hehehe
No, actually it’s an old Maties warcry!!
88. bdb I have never been ‘moderated’ here….
(Note to self, must try harder)!!!
91: hehehe. Ek het twee ‘links’ na aussie artikels oor Loftus en die nuwe reëls geplaas, maar hul het nie deurgekom nie.
KP – Maties version of ‘The HaKa’? 😉
Carol you will have to wait till late Wednesday before i will make any suggestions on the picks. To much happens in a week before the teams are announced.
87 – One has the same nic and has now become very annoying and childish and must say very boring, to hear the same thing over and over and over for about a million times. I would be very embarrassed to go on like that. Seeing that many have met him in person. Phew!!!
One not sure who he is but likes to stir. Goes under another nic so not too sure.
Anyhow rather blog here, far,far better. We can banter but we mostly talk sports here and debate and respect each other so much better.
96 – Super and never go with the heart. I have and it has let me down. Have to think about my picks this week. Especially the Saders and Sharks. Will have to go with the mind there.
97
Puma is it the guy with the obsession with JS
99 – Super……….hahahahahaha. YES and he is now sounding like he is losing it a bit….hehehe. Never in my life have I read something being repeated so often. It has become so painful to read, so tedious and pathetic really.
superBul…My tried and tested S14 is done like this…..
Follow what you guys chat about, then look to see if it is home or away, then see how many red and green boxes show on superBru…..
Then close my eyes and jab the key board…..
It got me 6th out of 100 odd last year!! Heheheheh 😆
superBul and Puma …Oi, stop it then……!!!
He is great that bloggger….Seriously, great fun. Just has a JS ‘Hang Up’!!
We can’t all agree about everything!! 😐
102 – Carol, Not too sure. He has resorted to insulting people. Does it at will all the time. Not the same person we used to speak with on night owls over there. Honest. Then you like him so fair enough. He was my mate too but never seen a person change so much in such a short period of time. He can dish it out but don’t like to get it back!!! Anyhow I am not too worried only when he is on SW telling us about our own man in our team. NOT good that.
101 – Sharks have let me down on my bru picks. Just go with my heart with em. Now have to think about it with the mind. They playing Saders this week with McCaw back. So will put in my pics on the last minute.
Anyway Fires, where are you mate? Miss your posts. What you think about our team for this week against the Saders?
Let me know if you read this.
Okay I am alone here. So will turn off the lights.
Good night everyone. Catch up tomorrow. Lights out.
Sorry Puma, had to do supper…..Oi, its dark in here… See you tomorrow.
Seeing I blogged a bit today, thought I’d pop in b efore beddie byes….but no one around.
well sleep tight all you Saffas whoa re at home, this expat is now going to bed and its 2200. they say we are in for more cold before summer comes, well the days are longer, but last year I remember some snow in March and then 25 degrees 2 weeks later….no wonder weather becomes an obsession!!!
gnite all….oh and good luck Bulls and Stormers fans you guys are in with a great shot…Unfortunately us Sharks have dug a pit at the bottom of the mountain to climb and have now climbed into the pit…..but maybe we are at bedrock, lets hope anyway.
Butch James is playing really well for Bath again and he is like a good red wine, he gets better with age, against London irish he flattned one of their centres like the Butch of old, it was great to see….I always like him and now realise how much skill the man actually has, Bath are nigh on unbeatable now he is back and the halfback pairing is probably the best in Europe (Scrummie is that ex Freestate boy, I forget his name at the moment).
