Cloudy, Just Win,Beeno, Ancient Mike, Sasue and even Saffex are my favourite posters

There are others ofcourse (Mozart comes to mind...a cultured chap) but who is interested...it is a low down forum with conversial views but with freedom...most of us would not pass as rugby experts (although some of us try). I'm certainly not but my blue chip schooling taught me a few tips on this game that is absent in the plebian or working class hero attitude that has seeped into the world today. I'm proudly a traditionist but understand workmans ethics and I don't disrespect an intelligent analysis on the world affairs. But one thing I know is absolute and unquestionable truth is that we are not progressing in the modern world. We lack polish and refinement and bigger than that we have lost ethics, integrity , masculanity, feminity, courage and the stamina to stand up againnst what is damn right wrong. Society is getting weaker by the day.

The Bible is the only answer for todays problems...indeed the bible was always the answer because our corrupt natures including mine needed direction and it is only when we are HONEST enough to admit to our failings to a LOVING and FORGIVING Diety of God in the person of a man the Lord Jesus Christ can all answers be truthfully found. 

Seb: thanks for the compliment.
I am sure Beeno, Cloudy & others would agree on your religious comments.  
On religion, I have experienced miracles related to my family for which I am eternally grateful but although I have even served on the vestry of the Episcopal church I am less enthusiastic about the institutions of the Church these days. I still consider myself a religious person however.
One thing I like about rugby is it attracts all types of people from very different backgrounds. I like the mix of posters we have in this forum for example - if we all agreed on everything & expressed ourselves in the same way it would be a boring place indeed.   Some  posters are easier to take than others though, lol

Religion profits nothing - Christ is everything. Great post Seb and JW. Without the great Shpeherd one is completely lost and in darkness regardless of how much one would dispute this. 
Some poster are easier to explain rugby to than others. When I think about the legendary kiwi bird brains I almost throw up my hands - but if I did where would they be but wandering in the rugby darkness completely lost .

Seb you are wrong, I am a rugby expert, ask Boklogic !! 

 Cloudy, my darling...the game is on tomorrow...perhaps today in your strange country where you are 7 hours ahead...anyway some unearthly hour for you...don't be lazy my, dear just look it up.

 

I would fall in love with you if you looked as your avatar but then I too would have to look like this...see below

 

 

 

incidentally my Russian wife I love and she still looks good ...she's just turned 50 and reminds me of a young Meryl only a lot prettier. She never ages..it's uncanny ...must be the ice cold climate.

And of course I'm only joking...just as I do with so many posters...if I provoke or tease them...just take it with a pinch of salt...it's a complement to be teased...unfortunately a lot of people that post cannot understand that.

Cloudy if you check this site you can see when the game will be on in your location.

Hi Cloudy: hectic times for me & my family, I am doing fine though. Hope you are well also.
I will watch some rugby tomorrow so that will be some quality time for me 

@Sebastian : I think you may be interested in the book "Externalization of the Hierarchy" by Alice A Bailey. It is impossible to understand the current state of the world without reading this book and others like it.

 Thanks Cloudy...one of my best mates here in KZN...a Dutchman believe it or not is presently re-allocating to your country...he is doing it for his 2 kids...incidentally they managed to find jobs within the first month of being in Auckland...I managed his finances and portfolio investments...he is not rich but could retire and in the Karoo in SA quite comfortably but the ratio of the rand to the NZ$ makes it impossible...if any of my NZ friends can help him get a job...he was with Distell in Stellenbosch as a liquor representative/public relations...he was damn good at his job...in fact he was the inventor of a famous SA spirit/liquor...Amarula...that's genuine...he could have been a multimillionaire but that's not Tommy...an earthy guy that was an officer and a gentleman...very popular with his clients...gets on well with most people...played sport rugby and cricket,an outdoorsman... a very likeable man.

 

An excellent PR man in the liquor trade...but a little bit old...but NZ , so I believe does not discriminate with age... if I was a company director in the liquor trade in NZ...I would employ Tommy without a blink of the eye and the slightest hestitation...he is good, very honest and people like him...can any of you guys in NZ give a direction or help.
