I thought to post this as a tribute to this amazing player. His defence is also incredibly good as he punches way above his weight.
Also posted as some wags on here were trying to suggest Arendse is better or in the same league. Hahhahahahahahahahaha
To those unfortunates I suggest you watch this clip and wise up!
Plum I m not here to please anybody like some grovelling toadie. I am here to tell the truth as best I see it and to engage some of the slumberers here with facts they will find highly inconvenient and deliver some appropriate insults. I am also here to bang a few heads and have a good laugh.
Further I will give as good as I get and then perhaps some. I note of course you have zero to say about that loon MOC, blobbrain etc. I take all the drivel etc as a badge of honour. I actually don't give the smallest hoot. Hence my lambasting that arch Globalist deceiver mozzie.
This is not the time for mincing words. the future of humanity is at stake. Christ overturned the money lenders tables in the temple and took a whip to them. I do this as a fallible human being.
Anybody supporting pedophiles or supporting /trans supporting politicians will hear from in no uncertain terms.
The world is in the mess its in because people who know better are so pathetically apathetic. They cannot even raise their voices when 63 million unbornes are murdered in the USA alone .
The Saviour was crucified by these type of people and would be again if he returned again as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53.
Regarding Kolbe wags like you need to understand that Kolbe is well ahead of Arendse as a player. As of course shown by the Planet rugby world team selection. I will be pleasantly surprised if Arendse ever become the brilliant runner Kolbe is. Has the game EVER produced such an amazing runner. I haven't seen one.
So to conclude I don't care in the slightest what you or anybody else thinks of me as a person, as a Christian etc. Ou rooitwit had a great rant he used to spring on unsuspecting posters where he said he was sorry if he had given them the impression that he cared a fig about what they thought. Hilarious stuff from ou rooitwit. So sorry to tell you exactly the same.
noted: From here on out, when you have an opinion that I disagree with I shall refer to you by names of my choosing.
Kolbe being better than Arendse is a matter of opinion. Nothing more.
Unless you have discovered some unassailable metric by which such debates could be decisively solved and decided.
If you have indeed discerned a method by which to conclusively quantify the abstract, do please share as I think I can make plenty of money off the back of such technology/math/thinking.
Imagine being able to decide once and for all exactly how brilliant a painting this(The Night Watch) is and put an exact figure on it, so that we may know, finally, if it is, or is not, better than the Mona Lisa.
...so much money that one is certain it will sufficiently bolster the anti-globalist coffers to a degree where the globalists may once and for all be stamped into the ground, never to return.
Share the secret, I'll win you the war
PS Rembrandt is the greatest of all time.
Two excellent wingers Plum.
But in my estimation Kolbe is perhaps the fastest, greatest side stepper, place kicker, defending and attacking wing, and sportsman for the Springboks in my lifetime.
Sure many other wingers also had great careers but he is an outstanding player and is also a great ambassador for the Springboks and South Africa.
Who can ever forget the charge down of the French kick in the 2023 RWC and the side stepping in the 2019 RWC against England ...pure class and more.
Lets not forget Van Vollenhoven, Muller, Englebrecth, Mordt and company.
Those were two stinging posts Plum. Believe it or not HasBeen actually was an enjoyable poster before he, and there’s no way to sugar coat this, went totally nuts. He now believes he is the font of all wisdom and his sources are discredited Washington fringe players.
I never met the Donald, but I have met and played golf with guys in his circle. And I know at least 10 other people who have dealt with him personally. It’s hard to find one of those people with a good word to say about him.
I do think his presidency was sabotaged with a lie…that’s disgraceful. But his actions after he lost the election are perhaps the worst example of bad losership I have ever seen.
The country needs a fresh start with somebody in their fifties or sixties. Not either old fossil.
On the Arendse/Kolbe debate I have no horse in that race, I think they are both terrific. As was Gio Aplon who could have been just as good if given a fair chance,
I had a similar experience in Florence with a Caravaggio exhibition. There was his Medusa painted in a shield, in quite a large room. The room was totally black , but for a spotlight on the shield. Magic.
My own tastes have become more twentieth century…but I still love the impressionists as well.
I had a similar experience in Amsterdam. It was my first visit and I was with my wife. We tried to book the Van Gogh museum online but couldn't connect, but we decided to go anyway and wait in the queue.
This would normally be a big mistake but as it turned out, a blessing.
On the way, we stopped at a "coffee shop" and I bought a cookie and ate half. We got to the museum and there must have been 500 people ahead of us in the queue. We stood there, glaring at all the people who'd booked online strolling casually past us straight into the museum while chatting to a nice German couple in the queue just in front of us. We chatted away for about 15 minutes then I turned to my wife, told her the half cookie was doing nothing for me so I ate the other half.
Soon afterwards, our luck changed. They opened another ticket booth but instead of splitting the people at the front, a security guy walked to about half way in the main queue and stopped right in front of my wife and I, saying come this way and he led us right to the front of the newly opened booth. The German couple missed out . . . which was a pity because she was very pretty . . . but we were in!
There's a very long gap in my memory from that point onwards but I do remember my wife tugging on my sleeve and telling me I'd been staring at Van Gogh's Almond Blossom for 45 minutes.
I know the feeling, even if a lot of that evening remains a hazy but blissful memory. I'm always glad I gave the cookie enough time to kick in.
Can’t beat the joy of a new queue. But we had an odd experience in the early seventies in NY. Having just arrived from a delightful summer in London, the grey, gritty urban nature of NY was a bit depressing.
But as luck would have it, one of the first blockbuster exhibitions was open for viewing, a comprehensive collection of van Gogh’s work.
The queue was long and so was the wait time. The new ‘warm’ coats we had bought in London didn’t cut it on a cold December day in NY. And the wailing sirens made it seem even more desolate.
But the sirens were getting louder and suddenly a car turned round the corner into our street at great speed…sideswiping a few cars as the driver struggled to make the turn. Even the New Yorkers who have seen everything were impressed. And thirty seconds later, three police cars in a little train ripped around the same corner in hot pursuit.
Inside it was a bit of a scrum, the carefully curated experience with time slots hadn’t been introduced yet. One particularly aggressive woman pushed me and shouldered past. When she targeted me again at the next work, my Springs training kicked in, and I pushed her back. The total shock on her face suggested she had been getting away with ugly behavior for years.
The show with all Van Gogh’s magnificent colors was vibrant, particularly on a grey NY day.
Plumster you take on Arendse is absurd and if poor mozzzie wasnt sucking up to you big time he would have ticked you off your your nonsense comments. I see mozzzie has a replacement for poor Doos.
I can only imagine a curator coming up to you as who were staring at the Van Gogh painting and apologizing that it had been hung upside down.
Plumster thinking himself sort sort of art aficionado and mozzzie a full blown culture vulture! Pretentious stuff!
Do I think I am the fount of all knowledge, of course not buy I tend to be well ahead of some loons posting here, that much is obvious.
Trump won the 2020 election. Thankfully this has become widely accepted and court cases on the go will prove it. You have to be a drooling loon to imagine that any election involving mozzie's demonrat party that has no signature verification, no ID required, easily manipulated voting machines. the intelligence agencies colluding with Big Tech, State voting laws being illegally changed, tens of millions of mail in ballots posted out, voters rolls with millions on the rolls who shouldn't be there, huge ballot drops in all the Swing states almost all for old Joe Biden etc etc etc was not massively rigged. In fact in mozzzie's case you have to be a big liar. He lives in America or so he says but hasn't a clue as to what has been going on. We have Mike schooling the loon on a daily basis. Must say Mike's complete demolition of Mozzzie regarding Ukraine has been superb.
As for Plumster and the Arendse nonsense. I do hope the oak is not on a slippery slope. Look what happened to poor Doos. He wasn't always as crazy as he ended up. He just kept bad company on the board.
