New Years resolutions . . .

It's been a while since I did this so here goes . . . my suggested New Years resolutions for the following posters:

Ou Maaik: I know you like to find reasons not to live, but try and stick around at least until RWC2027. Watching Moffie and his Servile Gimps trying to find new reasons to denigrate Rassie after we win 3 RWCs in a row will be truly hilarious. I promise. Also, keep your meds close by when you watch rugby or read this board . . . .especially when the name Esterhuizen is used.

Pakie: You can't bitch and moan about every wrong decision that the naughty ref makes AND bleat about the amount of time the naughty TMO takes. Do one or the other. Doing both means that your expectations regarding the available current technology have been set too high.

Sharkbok: There is no reasoning with a Trumpanzee. I learned this the hard way. You seem to still hold out some kind of hope for them. Don't.

KKKingcorn: Go see a shrink. Start the session by telling him/her all about Siya Kolisi . . . and see where it takes you.

Stav: Brush up on your spelling, your typing and your grammar. You lose every debate on this board because you make an occasional typo or spelling mistake. You know this to be true.

xavi: Try to keep your rugby posts significantly higher than your political posts.

Dense: I know it's hard, but try to resist poking ButtPlug with a stick to send him into one of his incoherent babbling fits.

Moffie: Keep score for us in 2026. Instead of saying things like "stick with moz" or "schplott" or "stay down" or "game, set and match" or whatever other juvenile expression you use to tell everyone how wonderful you are and how stupid the other person is . . . rather just add it to the score . . . keep a running score in 2026 so when we tally up this time next year everyone will know just how marvellous you are and what a rich and exciting life you live outside of this trivial and insignificant message board . . . where you seem to spend all your time. Will save you a lot of typing if nothing else.

Saffex: Don't waste so much time and energy trying to reason with the rugby noobs. Just have a laugh.

giMp: Try going a few more weeks or even months with the same ID. You're probably pretty close to your record about now. Don't break your streak. You can do it. You can all do it!

Baboon-ou: If you're browsing one of your favourite alt-right websiltes like the disgraced Gateway Pundit or the laughable Conservapedia.com and you feel the urge to share some of their brainwashed lunacy with us, count to 10 . . . .and then don't share it. Resist the urge.

fArt: Join the Canadian equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan. I think you'll have a lot in common with them and you won't be so lonely.

Blob: Carry on posting Bozo memes that are funny, accurate and annoy the Trumpanzees so much.

ButtPlug: Breath mints. I know this will seem like naughty Rooinek saying horrid things about you yet again, but jokes aside, you need a lot more breath mints than you think you do. A lot more!

DbDraad: When you get whooshed, don't immediately respond with the reasons why you weren't whooshed, rather take a bit of time to understand what it was that sailed so high over your forehead . . . and ask if you need to.

DumbAss: Just keep funding whatever organization it is doing research on personality transplants. Trust me, that is where your redemption lies.

becs: Stay as positive in 2026 as you were in 2025.

Flash, Chippo and any other staff . . . thanks guys.

Trad: Whether I like it or not, you are a regular here so I need to include you . . . Happy New Year bud! Chat again in 365 days time. Can't wait.

If I've inadvertently left any other regular off this list, let me know.

Happy New Year everyone.

Oh, I forgot . . . my own resolution for 2026: Come on Bafana Bafana!

"trivial and insignificant message board"

Define irony...

Hey Preacher RooiTit, just a quick one.

I don’t know where you get your info from, but here’s the thing: I’ve been on Ruckers since 18 September 2021.

That’s four years, three months, and twelve days straight. No one else, just me: Mpower.

Maybe one of your New Year’s resolutions should be: stop talking KAK, stop trying to stir the pot with untruths, and just post the facts for once.

You can do it, man...Happy NY to you to.

A-Fucking-Men!

I’ll try, Rooinek :)

Happy New Year to you and yours.

All the best in 2026 Becs, you are an inspiration.

Rhonda you gave us several classics in 2025.my personal favorites were the vaccination of the explorers, the great detective work based on the time stamps of posts changing when edited and your fury when you calculated that the remainder of One Hundred Years of Solitude had to be squeezed into a small portion of time, not figuring out that there had to be a second season.

MOM award goes to vaccination of the explorers in the 17th century, amazingly after you read a book on the subject you recommended to every one.

I sincerely hope you keep up the good work and I’m optimistic. Your latest call to eliminate AI from the Board has some real possibilities. A kind of stop the world I want to get off moment. For that contribution you get the Ruckers Luddite Award. And I trust in light of this prestigious award you will never use AI on here. We’ll be watching.

Happy 2026, you made it despite your vast weight and alcoholism. Still with the demands of earning a tiny living behind you, do some running And get on a fat injection regime, I’ve seen several porkers benefit from them….I’d recommend Zepbound the Lilly stock has been a winner, but that shouldn’t concern you. Good luck.

Moffie, sounds like it's 1-0 to you already then. Right?

Got it.

Just by the way (not trying to claim a point or anything, god forbid), I never said the early European explorers were vaccinated. I said they had been exposed to illnesses like smallpox and scarlet fever and had built up antibodies . . . which the indigenous people of the lands they conquered hadn't.

The book is called "Guns, Germs and Steel" and it's by Jared Diamond. A very good read if you're ever sober enough to take any of it in. Audio books are the way for your generation.

If your biggest win over me is actually just a fabricated lie and your second biggest ever win over me is the fact that I once watched a series without knowing there was going to be a second series . . . well, ummm . . . well done. You really got me there. Ouch!

Happy New Year old man. You must be at that age where you're in credit. Keep it up.

Oh and Moffie, I'm not trying to eliminate AI from the board.

My post is still there if you'd like to read it again and this time understand what it is that I'm suggesting.

No rush, take your time. Use all the time you have, old man.

LMAO!

Arguably the greatest book ever written, it doesn' t translate that well to the screeen.

There's just too much that Gabriel Garcia Marquez leaves up to the imagination to allow a fair comparison but the fact that the last 50% of the book was condensed into the last 10% of the series should tell you how much of the series to take into consideration when measuring this great work.

……..

‘’Moron….if you lie about it, it’s 2 to 0.

Here’s another howler:

I think we have to accept that a full strength Indian XI (even without Jaiswal) is just too strong not just for the Proteas but for any other team out there.

Hopefully the Proteas can even it up and make the series competitive but I don't see how anyone can compete with India

Just by the way (not trying to claim a point or anything, god forbid), I never said the early European explorers were vaccinated. I said they had been exposed to illnesses like smallpox and scarlet fever and had built up antibodies . . . which the indigenous people of the lands they conquered hadn't.

That’s what you said after I pointed out that your initial claim they were vaccinated was a joke. Hence I called you Vaccine and you ran away with your tail between your legs. Don’t make it worse by lying.

Ummm . . . weren't we debating whether I'm an AI Luddite? Have you run away from that particular line of "argument", Moffie?

LMAO!

Happy to have that discussion, I just wanted to first clear up your lie that you never said Explorers were vaccinated.

As for your Luddite status, this is what you said:

Now I don't know about the rest of you but if I'm reading a post on a message board or anywhere else for that matter and I get to a line that says something like "This is what AI says" or "Let's ask AI" . . . I stop reading that post and skip to the next one.

I'm not on a message board with other humans to talk about what the bot thinks.

……

So you made a call to ban AI, clearly a Luddite move. But even worse, based on stupid perceptions. At this stage when AI responds it’s simply surveying the field of opinion and ranking those opinions based on the credibility of the sources…..it has no opinions from it’s own observations of games.

You really are rather stupid.

Don't forget the score Moffie.

I think with the plagiarized "schplotsky" on the rugby thread and the various put-downs of other posters that's already 6-0 to you so far in 2026.

Please feel free to correct my scoring if I make a mistake or if I miss another memorable Moffie victory that makes your sad and pathetic life worth living.

Well now off for a spin in my Ferrari….enjoy your exciting day huddled round the dirty old braai.

Mozart….all the best to you and your family for the New Year :)

Thank you becs, may England find its essence again in 2026

Hindsight has every right to claim that he's never wrong...why...... all his comments are ermm....in hindsight.

2026 will be a good year, Blob. A great year for investing, Russia Ukraine will likely come to a close, the Israel Palestine debacle should end too and the Boks are likely gonna trounce the ABs when they visit.

Unlikely for you, Trump will still be there at the end of the year and the Dems will look even less like winning the next election.

I know it sucks, but the Dems will find another "Minnesota"...promise.
