Toulon rope in Jake
25 Nov 2008
Struggling French club Toulon have acquired the services of Jake White as an adviser.
The World Cup-winning coach will only be with the club from 3-22 December, but president Mourad Boudjellal believes any input can help at this stage. Toulon are currently at 11th in the French domestic competition.
“Even I have my limitations and may still be in certain respects a president of a second division club, who for so long dreamed of gaining promotion,” said Boudjellal. “I want to find out what is not working and that is why I have looked outside the club for an opinion.”
John Connolly was initially brought in to aid Tana Umaga but clashed with the incumbent manager and was quickly removed.

I have tracked Jake’s comments and behaviour for a long time very carefully.
I assure you that I have not taken this decision lightly.

#105 Sheriff: i have no feeling of ill will towards jake, but i worry he is becoming what he despises.

#112 asha1: i posted it as i am confused about the intentions of Tulsa who was throwing that word around originally.
it was moderated because of the ordentlik use of the word bab##n in my question.
the nats tried to ban tv, the anc wants to ban teenage pregnancy, keo hates the troop that raids his pad in cape town.

“*************” is a term that I think that very few people have absolute certainty about.
But I read a theory in Prof Chris Brink’s “No lesser place” – used to head up Univ Stb. Has to do with the popular practice with keeping ******* as a pet in days gone by.
Now the exact connotation is the challenge. Of course it means idiot but I think also conveys the idea of “just another one” “everyone has one”
I dont think it is used or refers to blacks, but a word that very often pops up when Afrikaans speaking intellectuals debate/ want to insult each other

well, i didnt see tulsa’s posts
so
i’d rather not comment on what his intentions may have been
..
that is,
unless he used it to describe the journalists on this site!
26 Nov 2008, 11:30 am
#115 Sheriff: concise and informative sheriff, many thanks.
i will be sure not to use the term around my better halfs family then.

Also “useful idiot”

#121 Sheriff:
do you think we’ll come to a point some day where the term “idiot” and “someone working for keo” will have the same meaning?

Interesting.
Chris Brink was headboy at Upington High, after prof Hennie Kotze (also US professor) just ahead of our own Boerboel here on keo, followed by Tiaan Strauss later.

Hy praat daarvan in sy boek, sy Upington dae.
Arme man en sy vrou Tobea het maar harde bene gekou in Stb.

#125 Sheriff: Ek is nogal verbaas oor die tipe leesstof wat jy kies…..
26 Nov 2008, 11:52 am
#125 Sheriff:
Ja, ek het gesien.
Daai wit Cortinatjie (CAY 2629) van hom was eers myne, aan hom verkoop toe hy Rhodes toe is om ingenieurswese te gaan swot!
Sy pa was oom Pierrie van Brink Bouers op Upington, baie welaf man.

Hy ry nog steeds daai ou groen Morris Oxford ook, sien ek.

Ag ek kry min kans om eintlik te lees. Snaaks jy praat van leesstof, ek het net gisteraand weer Herman Giliomee se SA geskiedenis weer nader getrek.
Ek kan glad nie fiksie lees nie, maar my belangstelling oor sosiale dinge en mense beinvloed meestal my keuses.
Probeer ‘n verskeidenheid lees of blootstelling.
Het bv gisteraand na Prof Adriaan Pont se geskiedenis praatjie op Radio Pta geluister.

Vertel my van Vloog Theron

Is Boerboel ook ‘n professor?
26 Nov 2008, 12:05 pm
#129 grootblousmile:
Net Fords ja, op Upington destyds….tot ek my vasgekoop het met n RX en byna bankkrot geraak het van petrol en olie ingooi!
Nee, ek was erg oor n warmgemaakte Anglia en Cortina.
Eintlik naweke Kaap toe gery om die manne te gaan ‘dice’ in Voortrekkerweg Bellville, met hulle Mini Coopers en Gordinis, en dan Maandag is ek weer terug oppie dorp om verder te ‘tune’…….
26 Nov 2008, 12:06 pm
#130 Sheriff: Het jy al van Frans-Johan Pretorius se boeke gelees oor ons Geskiedenis, veral oor die Boere-oorlog en die belangrike rol wat swartmense gespeel het aan Boere-kant…… sowel as oor hoe swaar swart mense werklik gekry het in die Boere-oorlog ?
Kry vir jou gerus van sy boeke, hy gee ‘n baaaaie objektiewe oorsig oor die Geskiedenis, nie net van een kant af nie.
PS ! Fanjan Pretorius is met my niggie getroud.

Kom van Koringberg af, sy pa was stasiemeester daar.
Sy broer Gert het Alwarwo begin (vrou se naam was Osseania Kakebenis!)
Hy het daai huis gehad teen Tygerberg Heuwels wat lank halfgebou gestaan het na sy bankkrotskap, totdat die staat dit vir R50,000 gekoop het en Dawie de Villiers dit n amptelike ministerswoning gemaak het.
Baie doppe daar gedrink!
Vloog het gehike Strand toe met n Ford Prefect om te gaan swem Sondae, vanaf Stellies.

Sy naam lui ‘n klok.
Ek sal uitkyk daarvoor.
Maar sê nou eers hoekom jy verbaas is oor my keuse van leesstof.
26 Nov 2008, 12:10 pm
#135 Pietman:
Ossewania Kakebenia, jammer.
Sy is gebore tydens die ossewafees, 1955 dink ek, dit het in die hofstukke uitgekom.

Nee, doktor (amper!, siviele ingenieurswese).

#135 Pietman:
Waar is Koringberg nou weer?
Ek onthou jy het al die staaltjie van Vloog vertel; nee ek win maar net inligting in sodat as sy naam weer opkom in een of ander laataand gesprek, dan kan ek dit “cross-check”
26 Nov 2008, 12:14 pm
#136 Sheriff: Ek het jou nie opgesom as ‘n Intellektuele reus nie……… hehehehe
Ons moet tog eendag ‘n dop gaan drink en oor die tipe goed praat en oor die lewe filosoveer….

#130 Sheriff: Ek verbeel my maar ek herinner my Prof Pont was op ‘n stadium ‘n dominee of so iets…. indien dit waar is, was ek saam met sy dogter Jeanne Pont op skool… van Std 4 af reg deur tot matriek.
Kyk sy was nou ‘n moooooooi girl, vra vir EEE, hulle was baaaaaie goeie tjommies.

Ag jy weet ek is maar ‘n domkop, maar ek is hier om te leer.
Gee my net eers kans dan ek goed kan voorberei sodat ek met jou kan kers vashou op die onderwerpe

Koringberg is piepklein dorpie (eintlik net n stasie) langs die Bergrivier in die Swartland, tussen Piketberg en en Velddrif.
Jy sien dit net op tv tydens die kanomarathon.
26 Nov 2008, 12:19 pm
#143 Sheriff: Ek’s netso verbaas jy luister na Radio Pretoorsdorp……… baie insiggewend…
My Pa was baaaie lief vir Radio Pretoria….

Kyk ek ken die oukêrel nie self nie, maar soos ek sê, hy lewer mos maar sy praatjies daar op Radio Pta.
Ek hou van sy aanbieding- natuurlik hel hy oor na sy volk se kant toe – maar mense wat met gesag oor die geskiedenis kan praat is maar raar.

Vloog het die Bokke ontvang in London (ek dink 1969) met n vloot Rolls Royces.
Hy het mos daai gesondheidskuur ontdek kamtag, sy bamboesfabriek staan nog steeds daar teen die pad tussen Vredenburg en Saldanha.
Laas gehoor hy is Kalifornie, Amerikaanse vrou getrou.

Kan wees, ek sien altyd net die plek in die verte as ek Vedldrif toe ry van P’berg af. Groot koring silos, links van die pad.

Teen die tyd behoort jy te weet waar ek polities staan, en ek staan daar onwrikbaar, maak nie saak hoe ongemaklik die situasie is nie.
Ek is nie ‘n “mainstream” ou nie en verkies dit om self ondersoek in te stel.
Ek het ‘n vaste geloof dat almal iets het om by te dra, soms kry jy die beste advies vanuit ‘n oord wat jy dit die minste verwag
