Latest weather prediction is that it will rain. So a real forwards slug-fest I suspect.

Boks to lose, don't make the quarters.
A pox on you sir.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
I am bloody nervous about this game - and you're not helping!

Why? It's Italy. Not like you're playing Japan...

Mate, there is no chance of that happening. Literally no chance.

Game is at midday SA time on Friday.
I have arranged for a braai and beers for all my staff so they can watch the game in true Saffer style.
You'd better bloomin well be right. Otherwise I am pouring water on the braai and making them all work overtime on the weekend. -

:Something about Camels? I know a guy...
We are going to side-tracked here, but many, many years ago my wife and I were tourists in Egypt.
I was offered 1,000 camels for my wife.
She was not in the least bit pleased that I hesitated before declining the offer. -

Studying with some PNG cadets a few decades ago and one of our classmates was an attractive, big titted Asian; Hāfu. One of the PNG boys said "I would buy her for 80,000 kina".
Thinking back, it would've been a bargain.

Aussies should stop calling their women dromedary camels.

How we feeling today?
Word I've heard is that the Italians are massively up for it, and the Boks are a bit out of synch with all the Etzebeth distractions?
