Congrats!
@grootblousmile – 48 That’s so, so funny!! I like the woman, immediately. heh, heh. Bet you had half of SA trying to track you down. Of course I missed the humour in the Afrikaans bits, oh well 🙂
@Boerboel – Hi there, so you got a mention too!!!
@Puma – 57 Puma it went over my head too!!! :opps:
@grootblousmile – 58 LOL. It gets better 🙂
@grootblousmile – 58 – Only you would ever say that….classic line though!
Not quite poetry!!
62@carol – I was in Holland at the time and was desperately looking for a bar with SKY. Kersboy was just helping a bit.
Fortunately I was not farting!
Now just imagine Debbie reading this tonight, then she can something about the blond as well!!
@Boerboel – Who were the ladies in those days? Was Dawn posting then?
61@JimT – Hell, it was published in the Sunday Independent, a National Sunday Newspaper…. that I said “I was still lying in bed, smelling farts”
Oi !!
@carol – 63 Sorry, it must have been all that prison time I’ve served 🙂
@Boerboel – Hello Boerboel, Ja, just read that article.
@grootblousmile – 68
In the Sunday Papers? hahaha. What a laugh that must have been. Just aswell we use nicks then..hehe.
@JimT – Jim, to think we Brits assume we have the upper hand with irony and sharp wit!! 😉
@grootblousmile – Like Puma says so fortunate you are Grootblousmile on that occasion!
@grootblousmile – 68 If she had any sense she should continue to track KEO & write columns along those lines from time to time. KEO would provide an unending source of folk humour that would keep the public laughing in the aisles. 🙂
@carol – 60
Probably by that time you are past hungry. I would grab a sandwich or something if I had to wait that long..LOL.
@JimT – Jim, what did you go down for?? 😆
71@Puma – I tell you… in the bloody Sunday Press….
Farking Debbie Smit !
It was on the Sunday after the Bulls beat the Crusaders in the semi-final at Loftus (2007), just before the epic ABSA Park Bulls / Sharks Super 14 final.
67@carol – Dawn was definitely a blogger and Karen and I think RugbyPrincess. There may have been more.
@carol – 72 See? You’ve always been looking for that Saffa sense of humour & there it was right under your nose. 🙂
@grootblousmile – 77 You must have had a good laugh though. Especially to see it in the papers..hahaha.
@JimT – 74 To an outsider the undercurrents running through Keo are facinating….Once you see beyond the rugby!!
@carol – 76 I beg you pardon. We don’t talk about those things in mixed company 🙂
79@JimT – Was the pun intended? Right under your nose?
OK supper here….back in 10.
@Boerboel – 83 Even I missed that one. Gold star for you Boerboel 🙂
85@JimT – Sorry I couldn’t miss it!
@Boerboel – 86 You on the ball man 🙂 But that story was so funny. Now we can hold a threat over GBS’ head – set Debbie Smit on him again 🙂
87@JimT – He wouldn’t really care!
OK, good night, I must go now. See ya again.
Cheers all out of here now.
Gbs pleased you had a great birthday boeta.
@Boerboel – See ya Boerboel & Puma. I’m still laughing at GBS’ 15 minutes of infamy 🙂
