dont think she wouldve fallen for that, lol
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:204 – OldG,
For sure we must use those magnificent stadiums. They are soooooooooooooooooo much better than the old ones. MM stadium in Durbs holds 70 000 think it will be reduced to around 60 000 now that the world cup is over but it is just awesome. Need to use them. Also Newlands is so old and outdated they should use that magnificent stadium in Cape Town. Lions have done the right thing by using Soccer City. Better parking far safer and a beautiful stadium that holds almost 90 000.
I’m back to the BBQ for the leftovers, cheers everyone. Looking forward to the bokkies matches coming up.
@ nga puhi:209 – nga, Thanks my friend. You must celebrate when you can your brilliant ABs. They are playing really good rugby. Well done to your team again bru.

I have a few things to do myself… firstly I must put up some game threads for this afternoon, then I must take the pool pump lying in the car boot to my neighbour (he’s a n electrician and also owns a pool company), then I must take Sharky-Fornever some Ram for his one PC which controls the Security cameras at the restaurant…. then back here for the CC games.
2 Game Threads scheduled for this afternoon… that of Griquas vs WP and The Sharks vs Lions.
The Pumas vs Cheetahs match is not broadcast on TV.
See you later, folks!
