I intended to use this one only during major swimming tournaments and the Co mmonwealth games - but just want you to enjoy this one for a brief period.

It is Chad le Clos - the world champion in the 100 meter and 200 meter butterfly and the World Short course record holder in the 200 meter butterfly. He is from Durban.
He is a very nice guy. When he came back from the World Championship in Barcelona and landed at Johannesburg airport, a very nice young lady - whom he never met before - went to him and told him it was her 21st birthday soon and she asked him if he would not come to her party. To her surprise he accepted the invitation and flew from Durban to Johannesburg for the party the next week.

Yes - he is the Olympics champion in the 200 meter butterfly.
Since you like men in pink - I am switching back to Pieter-Steph du Toit. Not rugged - but he will beat McCaw in every strength and running comp.

Easy- he is 21 years old - but the weight and height stats tell a story: -
McCaw - 1,87 - 108 kgs
Du Toit - 2.00 - 118 kgs.
I was a bit surprised by McCaw's present weight. His normal playing weight for years was 102 kgs - so he picked up 6 kgs of lard during his sabbatical. No wonder his performance after his return was so far below his 20012 performances.

that's because Saint McCaw won a RWC playing on only one foot but now that his injured foot was repaired at the zyborg factory, he has gone back to using that leg again hence the reason for the additional weight MCIII (Beenhead simple as 1 + 1 =2)

Hakwa
We will see whether McCaw makes it through this year - I have my doubts. If he has gone backwards like he did in 2013 compared to his performances in 2012 - then by the end of 2014 he will be as bad a loosie as Sloth Alberts is. He looks more and more to me like he is past tense.

Mike there's a typo in the above post.
It should read as "good" as Awesome Alberts.
Just trying to help.

A nice thinking lady - always one of my favourites. Even McCaw will not change that.
However, allow me to add that since this is a rugby discussion board - where other codes of sport also pop up from time to time - I have decided that I am going to use pics of players and sportsmen I have a very high opinion of as avatars in future. I have collecte some pics of those inclusive of Pieter-Step, Chad le Clos, Quinton de Kock, etc and will use them at appropriate times to show my support for them.
So there is another reason as well.

ou maaaikie your avatar is a great improvement on your original one. However dont delude yourself! Cloudy is for some strange reason still mesmorised by ritchies chocolate box beauty! Your chances of impressing Cloudy are slim while she languishes under this spell.
hacked waaaagh please oak, given Crag Jouberts dismal reffing on the day wee macaaaaw could have played on crutches and the abs would still have won the wc.
Beeno bringing some needed clarity

Beanhead , he was on crutches until the warmup and then parted with them just before the haka. Just imagine what the final score would have been had he been fully fit and the Team been fully fit , they would have won 14 in row in an international rugby year.

No no Cloudy...thats the French No 8/Lock...you know the one who recently floored a player and is facing a ban...he was a menace to the AB's but his days are virtually over...just like Bakkies and Matfield...hey, cannot you recognise him...yeah he looks more respectable than usual...his first handle is also Seb....lol.
Oh the Merino with the rocket launchers have been replaced by the Tsar's Cannon...it is rather symbolic in a sense (inferring to SA rugby selections) if you get my drift.
On the otherhand the rocket launchers were Australian and not very effective in irradicating heavy attacks by alien moles and double-agents from SS Kamp.
Have to revert back to the old days when heavy artillery was effective...ie the charge of the Light Brigade.
I nearly posted Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture as a link but I do not think a lot of the sophistated Saffa fans like Saffex would appreciate it...he only likes the Springbok Radio Hits of the 1960's and 70's.
Mozart and Ol'Mike would appreciate good music but they are only an elite minority but remember we now live in a rainbow democracy and all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others...lolz

Each to his own, Seb.
Classical music is not for everyone.
Anyway ... most who like that shit are pretentious Faggots. It's important to them to be regarded by all as sophisticated ... pretending to be the stiff upper lip type . Usually an expensive assortment of wines in their large cellars accompanies this sort
I don't have time for their airs.
Give me good old fashioned rock n roll anytime of the week.

CC: Some classical composers sound like a version of hard rock, Chopin can make the piano sound like a fast break on a lead guitar. I am a Led Z & ZZ top type of rocker & can see parallels. Same for Beethoven.

Just Win ... as you can tell I'm ignorant regarding classical music. What I've heard never drew me so I gave it a miss.
Perhaps you could suggest an album I'm to purchase. Maybe something that has an assortment of your favourites. If there is such an album.
Who knows, maybe I too will start on a cellar.

Well Cloudy...all good things come to an end (and fortunately all bad things as well...you know that as I've remarked before...every cloud has a silver lining...lol).
If you like Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman (so do I) then here's one that will strike deep in the tender hearts of the Morne Steyn, Bakkies Botha and Zane Kirchner lackeys...

Cloudy: I never watched this show but I knew of Susan Boyle. Don't know what happened to them but just came across the clip while listening to other YT music.
IMO p art of the appreciation is that both he and Susan Boyle set the expectations so low as they look like they will embarrass themselves. We are so relieved that they don't and then when they perform so well it is appreciated even more.
