It’s PUB NIGHT again… sneeked up on me a bit… forgot it was freegin Tuesday already!
Tonight no really, really special theme… I mean my Bully Boys are out of the Currie Cup and all…
To be fair though, the 2 best provincial sides are in the Currie Cup Final of 2014, DHL Western Province and the Xerox Golden Lions.
The idea with PUB NIGHT is to lighten up our dull Tuesday evenings with music, comedy and fun.
Last week we added some new Functionality to Rugby-Talk.com… commentors can now add Pictures of their own in Comments… but more than that, we can exchange Word & Excel documents, PDF Documents and also Post MP3 songs.
Above the Comment Form, there is now an Upload Line with a Browse Button on the right… to enable you to upload something FROM your PC, Pad, Tablet, Mobile Phone. See the file types allowed in that description.
There is a proviso though… files may not exceed 5Mb!
When you add a file and submit your comment, it’ll naturally take longer to load that comment, as the Attached file must also be uploaded. Normal comments are unaffected.
Rugby takes a backseat tonight as the clan and fellow rugby nutters gather…
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!
Here’s a MP3 song for you to enjoy:
Pink Floyd – Time:
Come on, show me up, do better than me!

Jeeez Smalvoëltjie… NIE MOBILE versions nie, etter!
@ smallies@59:
Dis ‘n nice song daai. Ek onthou nog as ons pas gekry het en ek kom huis toe, dan as jy in Pretoria kom, sien jy die voortrekker monument blou skyn.
Ek het altyd die song geluister daarna
@ grootblousmile:
ja status quo het die video her uitgeryk in 2010
This is how Robert Plant would have loved to sound.
The incomparable Steve Marriot ( Small Faces and Humble Pie)
59 @ smallies:
“In the Army Now” is a song by the South African-born Dutch duo Rob and Ferdi Bolland, recorded in 1981. The song spent 6 consecutive weeks on the top of the Norwegian singles chart. The song was also later recorded by the British rock band Status Quo on their 1986 album, In the Army Now, and their version peaked at number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.

Great song that.
When this great planet Earth eventually gives up the ghost, there will be only 2 things that will survive.
Insects and Keith Richards. 😆
A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.
Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed
before him.
The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.
He replied in disgust “I’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores
than let liquor touch my lips.”
Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said “Me
too, I didn’t know we had a choice.”
72 @ IAAS:
cool…
😆 yeah…
this guy don’t sound like no 20-year-old white boy…!!
There was a German, an Italian and Van der Merwe on death row.The warden gave them a choice of three ways to die:
1. to be shot
2. to be hung
3. to be injected with the AIDS virus for a slow death.
So the German said, “Shoot me right in the head.” Boom, he was dead instantly.
Then the Italian said, “Just hang me.” Snap! He was dead.
Then it was Van der Merwe turn , and he said, “Give me some of that AIDS stuff.”
They gave him the shot, and Van der Merwe fell down laughing. The guards looked at each other and wondered what was wrong with this guy
Then Van der Merwe said, “Give me another one of those shots,”so the guards did. Now he was laughing so hard, tears rolled from his eyes and he doubled over.
Finally the warden said, “What’s wrong with you?”
Van der Merwe replied, “You guys are so stupid….. I’m wearing a condom.”
REVISED SOUTH AFRICAN DICTIONARY
* AG This is one of the most useful South African words. Pronounced like the “ach” in the German “achtung” it can be used to start a reply when you are asked a tricky question, as in “Ag, I don’t know.” Or a sense of resignation “Ag, I’ll have some more
mieliepap then.” It can stand alone too as a signal of irritation or of pleasure.
* DONNER A rude word, it comes from the Afrikaans “donder” (thunder).Pronounced “dorner”, it means “beat up.” Your rugby team can get donnered in a game, or your boss can donner you if you do a lousy job.
* EINA Widely used by all language groups, this word, derived from the Afrikaans means “ouch.” Pronounced “aynah”, you can shout it out in sympathy when someone burns his finger on a hot mealie at a braai.
* HEY Often used at the end of a sentence to emphasise the importance of what has just been said, as in “Jislaaik boet, you’re only going to get a lekker klap if you can’t find your takkies now, hey ?” It can also stand alone as a question. Instead of saying,
“excuse me?” or “pardon?” when you have not heard something directed at you, you can say “Hey?”
* ISIT? This is a great word in conversations. Derived from the two words “is” and “it”, it can be used when you have nothing to contribute if someone tells you at the braai “The Russians will succeed in their bid for capitalism once they adopt a work ethic and respect for private owner-ship.” It is quite appropriate to respond by saying, “Isit?” *
*JAWELNOFINE This is another conversation fallback word. Derived from the four words “yes”, “well”, “no” and “fine”, it means roughly “how about that?” If your bank manager tells you your account is overdrawn, you can say with confidence “Jawelnofine.”
* JISLAAIK Pronounced “Yis-like”, it is an expression of astonishment. For instance, if someone tells you there are a billion people in China, a suitable comment is “Jislaaik, that’s a hang of a lot of people, hey?” *
*KLAP Pronounced “klup” – an Afrikaans word meaning smack, whack or spank. If you spend too much time at the movies at exam time, you could end up catching a sharp klap from your pa. In America, that is called child abuse. In South Africa, it is called
promoting education.
* LEKKER An Afrikaans word meaning nice, this word is used by all language groups to express approval. If you see someone of the opposite sex who is good-looking, You can exclaim “Lekkerrr!” while drawing out the last syllable.
* TACKIES These are sneakers or running shoes. The word is also used to describe automobile or truck tyres. “Fat tackies” are big tyres, as in “Where did you get those lekker fat tackies on your Volksie, hey?”
* DOP This word has two basic meanings, one good and one bad. First, the good. A dop is a drink, a cocktail, a sundowner, a noggin. If you are invited over for a dop be careful. It could be one or two sedate drinks or a blast, depending on the company you have fallen in with. Now the bad. To dop is to fail. If you dopped Standard Two (Grade 4) more than once, you probably won’t be reading this.
* SARMIE This is a sandwich. For generations, school children have traded sarmies during lunch breaks. If you are sending kids off to school in the morning, don’t give them liver-polony sarmies. They are the toughest to trade.
* HOWZIT This is a universal South African greeting, and you will hear this word throughout the land. It is often used with the word “no” as in this exchange “No, howzit?”. “No, fine.”, “No, isit?”.
* WHAT’S POTTING Local vernacular for ” Whats happening ” or ” What’s up” . This term has no gardening connotation whatsoever.
* BIOSCOPE A local word now losing a little fashion meaning movie theatre, cinema, flicks or pictures, depending on which part of the world you come from.
* JUST NOW Contrary to it’s apparent meaning, ‘ just now ‘ can mean anytime from now right through to the next millennium.Asked to do a job you don’t particularly like, you would reply “Ja, I’ll do it just now”
* NOW NOW In much of the outside world, this is a comforting phrase “Now, now, don’t cry – I’ll take you to the bioscope tomorrow.” But in South Africa, this phrase means a little sooner than soon. “I’ll clean my room now now Ma.”, knowing that you
will receive a well deserved ‘ klap if you don’t do it at once. It is a little more urgent than “just now”.
* BOET This is an Afrikaans word meaning “brother” which is shared by all language groups. Pronounced “boot” as in “foot”, it can be applied to non-brother. For instance a father can call his son “boet” and friends can apply the term to each other too.
Sometimes the diminutive “boetie ” is used. Don’t use the term with someone you hardly know – it would be thought patronising.
*PASOP From the Afrikaans phrase meaning “Watch out!” This warning is used and heeded by all language groups. As in “Your ma hasn’t had her morning coffee yet Boet so pasop and stay out of her way.” Sometimes just the word, “pasop!” is enough without further explanation. Everyone knows it sets out a line in the sand not to be crossed.
* VROT Pronounced “frot”. A wonderful word which means “rotten” or “putrid” in Afrikaans, it is used by all language groups to describe anything they really don’t like. Most commonly it describes fruit and vegetables whose shelf-lives have long expired, but a pair of tackies (sneakers) worn a few times too often can be termed “vrot” by unfortunate folk in the same room as the wearer. Also a rugby player who misses important tackles can be said to have played a vrot game-but not to his face because he won’t appreciate it. We once saw a movie review with this headline
“Slick Flick, Vrot Plot.”
* JA-NEE Afrikaans for “Yes/No” in English. This expression’s origin is believed to have originated when a family member starts talking politics what else do we talk about in South Africa?) and you don’t want to cause a political argument and get klapped or donnered, then every now and then you mutter, “Ja-Nee.” (pronounced yah – near).
* GRAZE In a country with a strong agricultural tradition, it is not surprising that farming words crop up (pun intended) in general conversation. Thus to graze means to eat. If you are invited to a bioscope show, you may be asked “Do you want to catch a graze
now now.
* CATCH A TAN This is what you do when you lie on the beach pretending to study for your matric exams. The Brits, who have their own odd phrases, say they are getting “bronzed”. Nature has always been unkind to South African school children, providing beach and swimming pool weather just when they should be swotting for the mid-summer finals. If you spend too much time “catching a tan” at exam time, you could end up catching sharp “klap” from your pa.
* ROCK UP To rock up at some place is to just sort of arrive. You don’t make an appointment or tell anyone you are coming – you just rock up. Friends can do that, but you have to be selective about it. You can’t just rock up for an interview or at a five star
restaurant. You give them a bell first, then you can rock up.
* BELL South African vernacular for telephone call as in ” Ja Boet, I’ll give you a bell just now ” which means phoning anytime from now to eternity.
* SCALE To scale something is to steal it, A person who is “scaly” is not nice, he’s a scumbag and should be left off the Christmas party invitation list.

@ 78
Nice list… there is also something similar in the glossary to Deon Meyer’s crime fiction book called ” 7 days”.
Another one of the most wonderful versatile Afrikaans words is ” Moer” or ” Moered”..can be used in any conceivable way.
