14@ grootblousmile:I saw after the game – she ran away when you knew who she was, said it was far too spooky!
I picked the Frogs by 5 on Bru
18 @ Just For Kicks:
Tell her as webmaster, I’m informed about ALL NEW REGISTRATIONS and am the only one who knows the whole story.
I went big for the frogs too with a big margin – I can’t get the results anymore wrong!!!
20@ grootblousmile:Yeah, she worked it out, but still got spooked.
Damn, I hate these wonky TV feeds!
Penalty Ireland, Sexton going for goal…. and pulls it horribly
Enormous difference in the weather between today and 2 weeks ago…
Watch it on the web, guys.
Come on France. Moer hulle stukkend!
Breakdowns being reffed quite differently up North… they lie over the ball, seal it off… no problem, no sanction!
