Do you think your WP are going to do something this year, without the troublemaker there 🙂

BdB hallo my groot blou maat, wat wag die jaar vir ons. Bulle sal een ding moet bewys, en dit is dat anders as wat HM gese het destyds dat hy niks meer het om te bewys nie, dat ons wel iets het om te bewys, om die beker te kan verdedig.
Imagine dit, oooo nee die res van SA sal nie met ons kan huishou nie.
Yes 4man, Stormers/WP will be better this year, so I trust!!! Like every Year.
OK SB, I’m in on the Picasa, what do I do now?
35
het jy op my nick geklik?
33: Super, wat het Vic gesê, hoe meer jy wen hoe meer wil jy wen. Ongeag wat in elk geval gebeur in die toekoms vir die volgende 100 jaar, ons kan mos altyd sê met ‘n groot blou smile: “remember 2009” !

Ons kort ten minste drie ouens wat vir Engeland speel…en hulle coach hoort ook eintlik in SA.
Hulle se hier in Engeland Dale is die beste toets bouler in die wereld op die heidige oomblik….hy is goed, maar nie die beste wat ek gesien het oor die jare….dar is nie boulers op die oomblik. Watch uit vir die Aussies, vir hulle jong ouens wat gaan deurkom.
Ek se dit sommer nou ook vir die Rugby, “the team to beat in the next world cup…is Australia” watch this space.
Ja, ek het op jou nick gekliek, my pw ingetik en nou is ek op my site, nie eens geweet ek het een nie!

Ek sal van n ander pc af probeer ek gaan outomaties na my fotos so ek is nie seker hoe die ding werk nie. Maar daar is n klomp fotos reeds geplaas. Ek sal jou se as ek regkom.
SB #40 moet net nie sê ek moet my muis oor jou nick streel nie!!
38: Dit gaan oor combo’s, Steyn het nie ‘n tjom nie.
Donald en Fanie
Pollock en jonger Ntini
In die eerste beurt het Steyn en Morkel goed gedoen. Maar die blad was mak, ons het net paaltjies verloor toe ons begin lopies jaag het.
Hellooooooooooooooooooo
Mnr Potchefstroom, Mnr Hoedspruit, Mnr Skelmbos (Bellville)…. en Sammajoor Farnborough….
Hallo Mnr Brakjan
42
Dit is so
maar as hy een gehad het? ek wonder.
Ek het hom gewatch by die 20/20 op die Oval en gedog “hier is n goeie ou wat baie bevorder het” maar lyk my daar is iets nie lekker nie…ek moet net bietjie meer dop hou.
Superbul
I found my googlemail….what is your picasa nic, I put SUPERBUL and it has 265 options?
Jy gaan seker die moerin raak vir my…maar ek is nou 57, so ek ken Roneo mahines, coffee grinder phones, en het die phtocopier sien ontwikkel, so my komper verstand is heel goed vir n ou wat so baie weet 😉
