119 @ bos_otter:
Hello Os_Botter…
@ grootblousmile:120 – Will do boeta. I have a teleconference with the guys from Chile for a hour or so in the afternoon, but will watch when the crici starts and after the teleconference will watch again…..haha. Will post here the scores for most of the day, no problem boeta.
Tell Super it is always tough been ones own boss, but also lekker cause your time is mostly your own.
Okay I am off to bed, feel really tired. Up very early this morning.
Catch up tomorrow when the cricket starts.
Cheers gbs.
@ Puma:been = being.
Ag, just tired so the typos are coming….hehe.
Cheers gbs.
122 @ Puma:
Cheers and thanks!
@ bos_otter 119 – Howzit Buddy,
Just noticed your post now and logged quick back on.
How you doing? Hope well. Long time no talk. Are you still in the UK or back here in SA?
Will look for your answer tomorrow. Off to bed now.
Cheers Bos.
@ grootblousmile:124 – Enjoy the golf tomorrow gbs.
Now really off to bed. Cheers. Catch up tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile:
ware woorde ou maat ek werk my kierie af. Kon nie my oe glo toe ek die krieket telling sien nie , ek gaan gou die highlights kyk
@ Puma:
122
thanks Puma, i missed a great day of cricket, nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing Ponting failing.
Enjoy the game tomorrow, like GBS said working for yourself is hard i never worked like this, i lost 15kgs in the last 3 months and feel so much fitter. Just the pains….old body tells you when to stop, not that i am listening much.
The day’s play yesterday had me looking for the Pakistani bookmakers and agents in the crowd.
Cricket will forever be tainted now.
It also makes one wonder when a top Rugby goal kicker misses one from in front of the poles. I know we all say that Rugby players would never be seduced by the money etc etc, but who would have thought that a person like Hansie would have as well. Also, who else in that team (as well as the Pakistani team last year) knew or at least had an idea of what was going on?
You don’t “live” with an individual on tour for week after week and not know what is going on.
Add to that the absolute debacle at Cricket South Africa in terms of corruption, blatent lies and fraud, and I’m saddened to say that it’s no wonder the Proteas are always on the losing end of CRUCIAL matches no matter what the format.
When the head is rotten, the stink permeates through the whole body.
Today is the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year.
Also armistice day for commemorating the end of the Great War.
It’s also the day that GBS and I take on the Golfing World.
A great day to write our names into Golfing history Big Blue.
I hope he’s lost a bit of weight, I hate to carry someone for 18 holes in 30°C temperatures. Hehehehe.
129 @ Scrumdown:
I’m almost ready to come to Kempies for the Golf…
The Clubs are dusted, the tees, pencil, towels, shoes, glove and Nike Cap are there and clean… directions to Kempton Park Golf Club is not a problem. Sun Block is in… spikes is going to moerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr us today!
Extra set of clothes packed for afterwards as well as freshening up stuff… need to draw a bit of cash then I’m A for away!
Nobody needs to carry me… you guys just need to check where my balls moer off to… I am worried about 2 things… playing too much Moer & Soek… and winning the boobie prize for playing the most golf on the day!
130@ grootblousmile:
Well, if you’re my partner and we come last, then I have to take the prize home that I donated. Vark that!
Don’t worry about the balls, we’ll have Velcro Crested Wallet Snatchers to make sure that all balls not below the surface of the water are found.
I suppose I should shoot home and find my golf shoes.
Vark you’re right about Spikes. Lots of liquid refreshment will be required. Either that or we just stay in the pub and get sloshed!
GBS, I just noticed that Rugby-Talk’s Google rating has jumped to “Very Active” when I open a new tab.
We need to keep it there. Difficult though when one has to earn a living!
132 @ Scrumdown:
Yip, I’ve added quite a bit more SEO code to make the site more Search Engine Optimized.
We had massive hits during the Rugby World Cup, the Currie Cup and the aftermath of the Southern Hemisphere season… it is quieting down a lot though, so we have to keep people interested and alive and talking.
I’ve added a Twitter Page for R-T and already have a Rugby-Talk Facebook Group (not active at all)… we need to keep content going there like crazy too and I need to build a Facebook link in on R-T (similar to the recently added Twitter Link).
… but like you say… time is limited…. been working like crazy this side….
Guess it’s time to get in the Blik Met Wiele and head off to the golf course.
Gooooooooooo Ama-Blomme!
Cheers guys, enjoy…. and remember to chat like crazy here….
Morning everyone.
South Africa 100/1
@ 154@ grootblousmile: Enjoy the golf gbs.
133@ grootblousmile: Don’t have to worry about twitter or facebook. Just do some very interesting threads during the holiday season. That is what I look for on most blogs are the interesting threads to talk about.
Okay seems like it will only be me here during the crici. Fine will keep the scores going for most of the day here.
Superbul, damn I miss you during the cricket. Only you and I that mostly enjoy the cricket here.
Good morning Puma, just popped in here for a wee bit, thanks for the score
Hey Puma, you definitely forgot about me hehehe
Watching the cricket on my drifta at work, probably one of the most awesome gadgets to own!!!
Must say for the first time in this Ozzie tour I am not nervous of Graemme Smith at the crease
