Dear All,

The weather is now coooooling down much quicker, with dreary days ahead…..and it has ‘Tukka’ been the start of winter, with rain, and very cold, BUT ……… will clear again soon. Terrible Flu going around….I had flu shot, and hopefully will miss the Flu…?????

The British Lions game against the Cheeeeetaaaah’s (Ou Vrystaaaaaat) was nothing to rave about, with after 15 minutes , it looking like a repeat of the game against the ‘Ou Transvaal’….BUT, the Cheetah’s gave it everything, and managed to almost win….BUT, as Naasty (Naas) Botha says; The score on the board is what counts……… Brussouw had a blinder, and I believe the 26-24 final score was a fair reflection…. Methinks , that The Lions will go into the first Test, unbeaten, which would be a GR8888 motivator……..The Lions forwards showed some awesome power, and once they get their Backs going, PDV…Pasop….!  ! !
Was sad to see such a poor crowd, as ‘Amolikke Yoren’ most Tour games were full, and I remember driving to Olen Park, Potchefstroom for the opening game of a few long tours, as they usually used to get the opening tour games (Western Transvaal…Oey vy, they were always weak…). I remember going with my Boet and Eddie to Loftus for a Tuesday Game …The British Lions V Northern Transvaal in 1968 (Bulls), and climbing a temporary stand (Scaffolding) , and sitting virtually in Heaven…….These past few weeks, they have been showing previous clips of the Lions past Tours….E-mazing stuff, and they ‘Tukka’ packed the stadiums in those days…….and the playing fields were ‘Tuff’ …..Some incredible footage, showing guys like Frik Du Preez, Mof Myburgh, Piet Uys, Dawie De Villiers, ‘OUR’ very own Syd Nomis, Piet Greyling, Tommy Bedford, Jan Ellis etc………The Sharks game last night was again not a true test, as many of the side were excluded ‘cause they are also in the test squad, which is ‘Bobbameises’……the Test is still nearly 2 weeks away……. PDV must Pasop, as the Lions are starting to gel…..! ! ! !! If I was PDV, I woud be ‘Bung…VERY ‘Bung’…….BUT eventually we should win the series….???

E-mazed to see that England hosted Argentine in a Test at ‘Old Trafford’..?? Though that was Sokka country…???? Zeee Englesh were without most of their regulars, and gave the Puma’s a ‘Klap’….?? Goot played very well…..

The groom stared down at the bride’s first attempt at breakfast.
What she had done to dry cereal, toast and coffee was criminal.
The groom shook his head sadly and said “I can’t believe this. You can’t cook either.”

At Cheder they were teaching how G-d created everything, including human beings.  
Little Yankel seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.   Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he was ill, and she said, ' Yankele, what is the matter?'  Little Yankel responded,
'I have pain in my side.  I think I'm going to have a wife.'   ( Nuuuuuuuuuuu…)
 

 

The Confederation Cup starts this coming week, with ‘In my Opinion’ very little ‘GEEEEEES’ (Spirit)…….. and of course our transport system is in total chaos at the moment, due to fixing the roads for the first time in 15 years, and virtually EVERY highway in the Major cities under construction for the ‘Mother of All Sokka Games ‘ next year, the World Cup….. I have a feeling that they have given many tickets away, to get good attendance at the Confed Cup…???
My Lichtenburg Chavers, Chick & Roland Kopel had Joel Santana over at their watch Shoppe in nelson mandela Square, and presented him a watch, to keep good time during the Cup games….Pics  http://www.stantgsm.com/list_pics.php

The World Cup 20 /20 has started, and the Bokke looked ‘Fris’ in the warm up games, and hopefully will continue throughout the tournament, and hopefully take the CUP……??? As I mentioned during the IPL in April, the World Cup 20 /20 is ‘Tukka’ the REAL thing, as it is Country V Country…and not a bunch of players, playing for the $$$$$$$’s…..! ! !  ! !  Won’t even mention the Scotland game…Oey vy……Does not get closer than the NZ game, and Souff effrikka really bowled and fieded E-mazingly, and managed to defend a ‘Kak’ score off the last ball…Phew, I would not trust Parnell with the last over..???
 E-mazing Clip to watch ….

When Andy took a holiday to forget everything, he opened his luggage in his hotel room and found that he had forgotten everything.

A man received a telegram from a mortician in another town.
 The man’s mother in law had died. The mortician wanted instructions on whether he should bury, embalm or create the old woman.
The man replied “All three. Let’s not take any chances.”

Methinks that Roger Federer had the ‘Ganser’ World behind him at Roland Garosse, and everyone seemed to be hoping that he would win, and he did and deserved the win and he ‘Tukka’ has been a GR8888 Tennis man over his career  Nadal must be kicking himself for letting Roger back in…….time will tell, BUT…Methinks the Wimbledon Title is a bit much to ask of Roger…?? Watch ‘Der Nadal’ come back……if he is fit…..

Technology has ‘Tukka’ changed from calling the Post Office to book a call overseas, to the revolutionary Personal Promotional Card. There is  no cost or subscription fees. We can make up your own personal promotional card. Please go to http://www.josscom.net/stan  This system allows you to Call overseas, from your Cell Phone (Mobile) at Local Souff Effrikken Cell phone rates…….’Gib A Kuk’ for all those that have Friends and family overseas (which is actually Every “Yiddisher’ family in the ‘Beloved Country’)…in fact all you have to do is punch in the number on the website and dial your contact…There are no other costs, except the normal ‘Souff Effrikken’ Cell phone ‘Rate’ charges…….sooo speak to your Chavers in “ Boca Doll’ and it is as if you are making a local Cel call…….

The Tzorres has started with the Men from the Ministry……”Our’ Cosatu Alliance partner in Government, led by Vavi has flexed muscles this week, and Vavi was quoted as saying “ We(Cosatu) are the policymakers in the alliance , and the Gov implements. The Gov does NOT lead anymore”. Well, I have been saying for years, that once the ‘Kommies & Unions’ get a foot hold in the Government, it will be a sad day…. And in fact Vavi goes on to say that the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Tito Mboweni and Slick, Brick , Trevor Emmanuel will be tailed by elected personal to see that they follow the PARTY line…….. Vavi has been hailed as a true UNION man , by not taking up a post in the Parliament, and staying with the ‘people’, which is ‘Kak’, as he has MORE power by staying with the people (rabble)…….and doing whatever he likes….the amount of strikes in the offing is ‘Skrikky’ and if half take place, we will never handle ‘Sokka 2010’ …although the FIFA Manne believe the Country will drop everything for the World Cup (which we should), BUT….these are strange ‘Doods’ are in it for themselves, and eventually they will destroy the country…….I see in the papers his rubbish is being ‘watered down’ BUT, …..‘’’like all those before him…the damage has been done, and will effect foreign investments……and that E-mazing statement; Zuma WILL do 2 terms……??? Zuma is most probably ‘Kleibing Nachus’ with that statement….BUT…says; What ever the ANC decide….’Yea right’…..????

Following the election, Bongani asked Sipho if he'd picked a winner.
"Well," he casually replied, "the man I voted for lost."
"You seem pretty calm about it," Bongani said.
"That's because the man I bet on won."  (Einaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah….).

Sitting at the bar after a game of Golf, Hymie said to a club member
 “I’m not about to play golf with Abe Cohen anymore.”
“Why not?”
“Well, he found his lost ball two feet from the green.”
“That’s possible.”
“Not when I had the ball in my pocket.”  (Einaaaaaaaaaaah………)

Oey vy, the Madof ‘Style’ Ponzi ‘Gunavis’ has hit the ‘Beloved Country’ this week, like a Tzunami……..with the Papers, radio & TV full of it…….Lot of ‘Yidlach’ involved which is really ‘Shreklach’……and people have lost huge amounts of money…. … some sire to view are www.fm.co.za & www.saponzi.co.za
E-mazing how Noseweek is quoted as having the info….???  One of the E-mails I got says remember the  ‘OU’ Transvaal…..”Kak & Betaal’……. Unreal Interest paybacks should ALWAYS ring a bell………. Even timeshare / Accomadation deals that sound to be good to be true , should be  checked, and in most cases avoided….

If this was not so sad, it would have been funny !!! …………………..

The Maccabbi Games fever is increasing, and I went to the Maccabi ‘Sportsman of the Year’ last night and it was a very good get together with a lot of ‘GEES’ among the ‘Yidlach’ going to the games in a weeks time….. Kobus Wiese was HUGE as the assistant MC, and is a ‘LAG’ a minute…’HUMUNGOUS’ is an understatement……The Senior Winner was the Jockey, Anton Marcus and the Junior Shireen Shapiro…I think the only NEGATIVE of the evening was that we will NOT be sending a ‘Rugger’ team this year….what a GR8 pity…….as ‘in Souff Effrikken terms “Rugger’ is OUR game……. Surely the Politics can still be  solved……???? Real sad day, BUT…the evening was GR8 and VERY ‘Balabatish’………It was held at the Wanderers and the Biltong (Maxi’s) and Catering was GR88888…….pic’s http://www.stantgsm.com/list_pics.php

Little Moishe was out shopping with his mother, something he didn't like very much.
 But when they passed a toy store, Moishe came to life.
He saw a new toy in the window that he didn't have but wanted.
Moishe begged, pleaded and nagged but to no avail.
 
He got so rude that his mother firmly said,
"I'm very sorry Moishe, but we didn't come out to buy you a toy."
 Moishe angrily said, "I've never met a woman as mean as you."
 Holding his hand gently, she replied, " Moishe, darling, one day you'll get married and then you will ….... you really will, I promise you."  (Oyvevoy….)
