Something special
28 Oct 2010
MIKE GREENAWAY, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says Patrick Lambie is the future of South African rugby.
In the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, the mink and manure belt of the Garden Province, the favourite sport of Hilton College old boys is to ask their bitter rivals from Michaelhouse how many Springbok rugby players they have produced.
The Balgowan school has spawned war heroes (the flag flown at World War I’s bloody battle of Delville Wood is proudly displayed in one of the eating establishments), politicians, prestigious authors, captains of industry, national cricketers, swimmers and athletes … even Spud Milton (of the John van der Ruit books) went to the stately school modelled so closely on the posh English public schools, but so far the eight rugby fields on the sprawling estate have yet to produce a rugby Springbok.
Perhaps the most genuine indication that the school might at last break its unfortunate duck came in Patrick Lambie’s Grade 11 year. The flyhalf had missed his U16 season because of a serious injury and when he pitched up for training the next year, the flyhalf berth was already secured by the older Guy Cronjé, who was partnered at scrumhalf by his twin brother, Ross (both of whom have gone on to play for the Sharks).
So the coaches asked Pat if he wanted to try fullback. How did he react to changing positions after not having played rugby for a year? By the end of the season he was picked at fullback for SA Schools.
The following year, his matric year, he was in the SA Schools No 15 jersey once more. In fact, he also played KZN Schools rugby and cricket two years in a row, and that elite club can’t have too many members …
As Sharks captain Stefan Terblanche puts it, rather amusingly: ‘The next Michaelhouse old boy who asks me if Pat is going to be their first Springbok, I might have to shoot! But having said that, if he’s not their first Bok, then they will have to wait another 100 years …’
Towards the end of his first year out of school, Lambie made his debut for the Sharks – a 20-minute stint off the bench in a Currie Cup match – and was then drafted into the Super 14 training squad. Midway through the Sharks’ troubled Super 14 tour earlier this year he made his run-on debut.
Lambie took time out from the Sharks to play fullback for the SA U21 team in Argentina and was one of the stand-out performers at the international tournament, finishing up as the second highest points scorer.
He has been a fixture in the Sharks team ever since the Super 14 tour and the only debate around his continued inclusion has been where best to utilise his talent – fullback, centre or flyhalf.
And this, of course, has brought up the old chestnut of whether the Sharks are going to do a ‘Brent Russell’ and produce another ‘Jack of all trades and master of none’, as has allegedly been the story with Frans Steyn and Ruan Pienaar (although this was more the case at Springbok level).
The good news for South African rugby is that young Lambie is being carefully managed by the ever-cautious John Plumtree.
‘There has been good communication between all relevant parties from the word go and that is very important because wherever Patrick plays, he must be positive about it,’ the Sharks coach says. ‘He is still at the stage of his career where he is enjoying the experience simply of playing at this level. Moving from 15, which he knows well, to 12 and then to 10 has been good for him because it has exposed a few minor weaknesses in his game that he otherwise might not have known about. When the novelty wears off and he wants to settle into a position, we will talk about it.’
Interestingly, Lambie says an inspiration for him at school was Steyn and the impact he made first with the Sharks and then with the Springboks at fullback, flyhalf and centre.
‘I looked up to Frans because he gave us schoolboys hope that we could get a break sooner rather than later and excel at the highest level,’ Lambie says.
The softly-spoken youngster conducts himself in interviews with unfailing politeness and good manners. He is as humble and charming a young man as you could possibly chance to meet. But what are his thoughts on the position he would most like to play?
‘I’ve enjoyed 15, 12 and 10 and I don’t yet know which one I’m best at or which one I enjoy the most. But with a bit more time and experience I’ll be able to decide on a position, put my mind to it and stay there,’ he says.‘At fullback I have always enjoyed taking the high ball – even though I’m not the tallest, I like that bit of pressure – and then also the space you have at the back to read the game.
‘At flyhalf, I like being close to the ball and getting my hands on it as much as possible, as well as being able to make decisions and link with the players around me. The same goes for 12, which also has the added attraction of being a major avenue of attack for the opposition, and I’m happy with that because I enjoy tackling.’
The impressive thing about Lambie’s progression from 15 to 12 and then to 10 is that he has got increasingly better the closer he has got to the ball. He was excellent at fullback and when he was moved to 12 questions were asked about the wisdom of the move, but he responded superbly there, and when he was moved to 10 he again met and then surpassed the challenge.
‘I have honestly enjoyed all three positions,’ he says, ‘and maybe it helped that I played 12 after fullback before moving to 10, but the most important thing is that I’ve played a sequence of games in each position. I haven’t played one game here, one game there, and then gone back to the previous position.’
An avid admirer of Lambie is former Springbok and Maritzburg College flyhalf Joel Stransky, and he feels that consultation with experts in the three positions Lambie has played will help make the decision on where he should ultimately settle.
‘First of all, I’d like to say that I’ve enjoyed watching Patrick play, and what has stood out for me is that old indication of how good a player is – the time he seems to have to make decisions that other players don’t,’ Stransky says. ‘He never gets flustered, he never panics. There’s no hint of alarm about his play. He has brilliant skills, a kicking game, tackles very well and, most importantly, he has a wonderful temperament.’
But Stransky suggests that Plumtree sits down with a fullback specialist such as André Joubert, a renowned centre like Dick Muir and a flyhalf of the calibre of Henry Honiball and ask them for an analysis of where Lambie’s skills set is best suited.
‘Sometimes where the player feels he should play and where he’s best suited are not the same,’ Stransky advises. ‘I’ve seen that with Frans Steyn. He wanted to play 10, then 15, but maybe 12 is his best position?’
But where does Stransky feel Lambie should play? ‘The more I think about it, the more I feel that a kid with his talent has to be as close to the ball as possible. I’d play him at flyhalf.’
And is Lambie ready to tour with the Springboks in November? Stransky certainly believes so but Plumtree would prefer the youngster’s Springbok debut to wait a while.
Stransky says: ‘Good enough is old enough. We have a major issue in this country at Springbok level right now and we need youngsters to come through fast and learn the ropes.’
Plumtree is not so sure: ‘Look, he’s unquestionably an international class player. He’s a natural, he’s a very calm young man with an old head on a young body. To be straightforward, he’s a bloody good kid, and is an absolute pleasure to have in your squad.
‘Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary for him to tour in November. A good Super Rugby campaign will grow his confidence, while this end-of-year tour might not be the happiest and I’d hate to see him take a knock. But if they decide to take half a dozen youngsters and he’s one of them, then good on him.’
The theme of Lambie being cool, calm and collected is a recurring one, going way back to his primary school days. His class teacher and sports coach at Clifton school in Durban, Barry Mezher, says he was a gifted sportsman and natural leader to whom his peers naturally gravitated.
‘It stood out for me that at such a young age here was a kid who always put the needs of his team-mates above his own, led by example and deflected attention and praise to others,’ Mezher says. ‘He was empathetic to his peers and could be innovative in finding ways to get the best out of them.’
Mezher adds that Lambie was also an exceptional cricketer: ‘He had the sweetest of timing as a batsman and as a bowler had the discipline and calmness to bowl line-and-length deliveries that irritated batsmen into submission with his accuracy.’
At Michaelhouse, his school masters soon picked up that the best asset of this brilliant sportsman – he was also a very good swimmer – was his temperament. He never got flustered and the bigger the occasion, the better he reacted to pressure.
Alan Redfern, Lambie’s housemaster, says that perhaps the best way to sum him up is to point out how his peers responded to him.
‘When he was announced as head boy he was the unanimous choice by pupils and staff and was given a spontaneous standing ovation, which is rare.’
At the conclusion of his matric year, Redfern says that Lambie had ‘set a new benchmark for the role of head prefect’.
He was involved positively in a number of cultural and social activities at the school. As well as being a chapel server and senior member of the school’s Christian Representative Council, he was the chairman of the Toastmasters Society and served on the school’s Student Representative Council.
Redfern says Lambie was always ‘quietly at the forefront’, avoiding the limelight where possible but when in it, conducting himself with humility.
The balance between sport and academics has continued after school. Lambie is currently in his second year of a BA degree through Unisa, specialising in environmental management. He says it involves his favourite subjects, geography and economics, and it could qualify him one day to be involved in a passion of his: animals and conservation.
In the meantime, Patrick Lambie is living his dream. It is not that long ago that he was one of the barefoot kids running around the Kings Park outer fields playing touch rugby while his parents braaied.
The Lambie family are true Sharks fans, always have been, going back to the early-80s when dad Ian was a stalwart for Berea Rovers and played a handful of games for Natal before a serious knee injury ended his career, while Pat’s grandfather, Nick Labuschagne (Caz Lambie’s dad) is a former president of the Natal Rugby Union and was intricately involved in the administration of the 1995 World Cup. He also played 50-odd games for Natal and five for England. So the game is very much in Pat’s genes.
‘The rugby background in our family helped me make the decision on whether to choose cricket or rugby as my career,’ he says. ‘It ended up being quite easy, really. I love cricket but rugby is my passion.’

whoopass dragons!
28 Oct 2010, 09:04 am
Hopefully he stays humble not like his idol Steyn
28 Oct 2010, 09:06 am
Lambie is a great prospect but WeePee will take the Cup on Saturday.
Kings on Friday
WeePee on Saturday
Nice weekend where sweet things fall into place.
28 Oct 2010, 09:08 am
He’s just not there yet. I’m not betting against him though. Good luck to him.
I’m really keen to see how he matches up this weekend. It’s the biggest game of his career so far.
28 Oct 2010, 09:09 am
the time is right now for lambie. He doesn’t have a great deal of length in his kicking game,but he makes up for it in his distribution, running and tackling-add fdp at 9 and suddenly line kicking is less of an issue for the flyhalf. Butch is still my man for the WC.
28 Oct 2010, 09:22 am
overrated, over-hyped, hasn’t done anything to be called the ‘future’ of SA Rugby! This is just Natal hyperbole on overdrive!
Let the boy play a season or two of super rugby, he doesn’t have more talent than his peers ie james o’connor or israel dagg!
28 Oct 2010, 09:24 am
transformation .. you forgot “white” you have never ever complimented a white player … sad dude … sad!
28 Oct 2010, 09:28 am
Something special is players like Rabbit o Connor, Dagg, Cooper, Bjorn Basson!
However, Lambie on par and bit better than Morne Steyn
28 Oct 2010, 09:30 am
It’s not a black or white thing. I happen to agree with Transformation.
Lambie is a solid player, but there is no indication so far that he is going to be a massive factor at international level in future.
It is way too early to make these kind of predictions.

Elton Jantjies is the future of SA rugby
28 Oct 2010, 09:37 am
With everybody singing his praises and talking of how great he’s gonna be, expectations will be high for him WHEN (not if) he gets a call-up to the Boks.
And thanks to Keo proclaiming him to be the future of SA Rugby, having a “good/solid” game won’t do, being the prodigal talent he is supposed to be.
Like Captain Whoopass and trans said, let him develop and gain experience.
I don’t want to see him with the Boks before the 2011 WC.
After that, it’ll be between Lambie/Steyn/Jantjies vying for the 10 jersey
28 Oct 2010, 09:37 am
I agree that he probably doesn’t have the x factor like a cooper, but he’ll take the ball to the line, get the back line away, and tackle his heart out- are we confident that Morne Steyn can do any of these things?
28 Oct 2010, 09:37 am
oh dear this is going to upset a few people.
its a bit unfair to compare him to O’Connor etc they are not in their first season of pro rugby.
he is a good prospect but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
28 Oct 2010, 09:37 am
Whilst I am inclined to agree with Tac and Tranny on this one, the boy still needs a bit of time in the saddle, this article is superbly written.
Mike Greenaway, you are a man amongst boys as far as journalists go on this website.
28 Oct 2010, 09:39 am
Wow. Tacitus and Transie agreeing. See, this is what happens when our Bulls lose a game people! The world spins completely out of its orbit!
28 Oct 2010, 09:41 am
12. ZINTO(ZINTO): elton too is not there yet, he hasn’t even seen the field in a super rugby comp! Aaron Cruden was a phenom @ age-group level – IRB player of the year – and yet he found it hard @ pivot in the the S14 this year…
Both lambie & jantjies were nowhere close to being named the best players @ age group but they sure as bob have talent…no need to trumpet it unnecessarily!
28 Oct 2010, 09:42 am
I like this kid.
28 Oct 2010, 09:43 am
Lambis is good but no that good. He has great vision but his lack of pace will prevent him from ever being great. He also lacks the boot neccesary for a great flyhlaf and place kicker.
Elton Jantjies is the man!
28 Oct 2010, 09:44 am
The hype around this guy is way too early. He is a good solid young player, but nowhere near an international flyhalf yet. His goal kicking especially needs a lot of work.
Gerhard van der Heever was also hyped up like this by Bulls fans when he made his break, and he turned out to be very average wing. Not in the top 6 wings in the Currie Cup imo.
Judge him after a few seasons, I don’t think he is ready to be a bok.
28 Oct 2010, 09:45 am
Talking of kicking, Eddie Jones has a nice piece on the new art of kicking under the current laws.
28 Oct 2010, 09:47 am
ok so everyone thinks that he is too green or just solid. What are the other options? surely Morne steyn is not the answer.
28 Oct 2010, 09:49 am
21. PYPKAN(PYPKAN): Yes Gerhard van den Heever is but a “Shadow” of the supposed great wing the Bulls proclaimed him to be…
28 Oct 2010, 09:53 am
frankie
don’t be smug.
it’s not a good look.
the guy is in his second season of rugby.
lets see how he goes shall we?
28 Oct 2010, 09:56 am
@24 ….but he runs fast and at the Bulls you don’t need to be a good wing as you never see the ball. You know he can’t tackle but he is getting the experience.
28 Oct 2010, 09:58 am
@22. PissAnt(PissAnt): I read that. Good article.
28 Oct 2010, 09:58 am
25. GUNTHER(GUNTHER): how many seasons should Hurdles be given Gunman?
28 Oct 2010, 10:04 am
Hurdles is a good wing. Very good in fact, but again he come up against many other very good wings, some who at this stage of his career are better than him. But he has time on his side, so it’s up to him.
It’s like being a good loosie in SA. Nice, but not exactly guaranteeing you a Bok place.
28 Oct 2010, 10:05 am
transie
well his first season wasn’t terrible.
and he scored quite a few tries in superrugby this year.
and he is still under 21.
why?
is he too white wing for you?
28 Oct 2010, 10:09 am
having said that I would love the bulls to buy Mapoo.
together with Basson he would be lethal.
plus the bulls could do with some more absas.
otherwise Maria will buy loftus and rename it Tshwane ABSA Supersaver Park.
That will learn them.
28 Oct 2010, 10:09 am
When he for the first time will play Kiwis, Aussies and Europeans, then we’ll see what’s his potential worth.
28 Oct 2010, 10:12 am
31. gunther(gunther):
Love that name
28 Oct 2010, 10:12 am
28. TRANSFORMATION(TRANSFORMATION): The answer is easy:
2 years to create a major hype and have fans shout your high school nickname everytime you touch the ball.
3 years to prove to everyone that you are and were nothing more than a flash in the pan and never will be anything more than a Currie Cup superstar (following the path of Meisiekind’s career)
2 years to get called up to the Bok squad and continually underperform, despite showing great form through the S15, ending in disappointment
thus, 7 years
28 Oct 2010, 10:20 am
That high ball he took against the Bulls at the death showed some huge balls.no pun intended! I’m hoping he has a shocker on Saturday – sorry Pat.
28 Oct 2010, 10:22 am
Frank the wank
personally if he performs at super rugby then good for him.
not everybody has to play for the boks.
he’s not the best thing since sliced bread, but he’s not terrible either.
he seems to bring out the worst in you no?
put your crack pipe down. it’s a beaut of a day in the cape

even so, that’s quite rich coming from you.
very rich indeed
28 Oct 2010, 10:39 am
Yes Plumtree, he is not quite ready for the farce known as Springbok rugby just yet. One season of Super rugby is really what he needs.
By that time a RWC would be behind us and the coach tarred, feathered and driven out of town, and Lambie’s reputation still intact.
28 Oct 2010, 10:40 am
Please can we not Gaffie him!
28 Oct 2010, 10:41 am

Johannesburg – A man apparently chopped his dog’s back legs off because she “stole” food from a neighbour in a squatter camp outside Sabie.
The female Africanis dog lay helplessly for more than a week behind the hut of her owner, Alfred Maganzi, 65, before residents of the Fok-fok squatter camp called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
“It made me sick and I was shocked when I saw this animal,” said Sabie SPCA inspector Petro Oosthuizen.
“She was very weak, dehydrated and completely disorientated when I got to her at the hut.
“When I asked her owner why he had chopped off her legs, he told me initially to ask the dog.”
Maganzi later said he chopped off the animal’s legs because he wanted to “punish” her after she had stolen food from his neighbour.
“Now she can’t run about anymore and she won’t steal anymore,” was what Maganzi, an unemployed Mozambican citizen, apparently told Oosthuizen.
Put down
The dog was taken to a vet in Mbombela who decided to put the animal down.
“The animal was in shock and the wounds to her paws had started becoming septic,” said Estelle de Villiers, SPCA chairperson in Mbombela.
A charge of animal cruelty was laid against Maganzi with police in Sabie.
Police confirmed they were investigating the case.
The SPCA also confiscated Maganzi’s other dog.

as a sharks and lambie fan
id have to say he is something special
wet under the ears but then the same was said for steyn when he burst onto the scene
if youre good enough, youre old enough
he should tour with the boks- not sure id give him much game time but being around the countries elite can only make him a better player
lambie at fullback would be the best position for him at this stage in his career

@Transformation(Transformation) :
The guys killing rhino’s should rot in jail. They are scum. I have no sypmathy for them, and I’m very glad they were caught.
It just pisses me off that the guy who chopped his dog’s frigging legs off will not go to jail too, but will instead get a small fine.
Dogs have become attuned to humans over the course of thousands of years, and most likely have souls.

28 Oct 2010, 11:26 am
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : Horrible…can’t believe anyone could do that to a loyal trusting animal.
Unfortunately, because unlike the rhinos it’s not high profile, he’ll get a slap on the wrist
How do you even punish someone who’s that depraved?
28 Oct 2010, 11:27 am
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever) : Agreed.
Cruelty to animals exists in many forms, some of which are often unknowingly supported by the general public. I am unfortunately not a vegetarian, but I make an effort to find out where the meat, eggs and milk came from that I purchase.
Some people are so uneducated on this topic though, that they dont understand why we should conserve our natural heritage which results in stupid questions like ‘Do you think an animal has more rights than a human’.
I would say a stupid animal cannot be disciplined by cutting its legs off, but then perhaps thats just my overcivilised opinion.
These kinds of people cant understand why we shouldn’t slaughter everything with four legs, as long as it feeds or satisfies ‘people’….or savages for that matter.
Apparently, in this world, for a large number of people – animals have no rights at all already.

@Atreides(Atreides) : wasn’t too “loyal” stealing the neighbours food was it…
28 Oct 2010, 11:28 am
@Atreides(Atreides) : you send him back to Mozambique!
28 Oct 2010, 11:29 am
@Atreides(Atreides) : A high velocity lead pill in my opinion, because if someone can do that to a dog – I believe they can inflict just as much cruelty on a human being.

you impose sharon’s law and chop of their legs.
28 Oct 2010, 11:30 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : You are dumb, and displaying it openly. Unless of course you are joking. I hope its the latter.
28 Oct 2010, 11:30 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : In terms of loyalty to it’s owner as 99,9% of dogs are. Given the clear-cut nature of it;s woner I can guarantee you it was hungry, or are dogs now supposed to display human notions of morality…. or are you being deliberately obtuse? Or do you think that being poor or unemployed gives you some sort of right to mistreat animals?
28 Oct 2010, 11:31 am
At Dog School – when our dogs were in a particularly unruly mood – the instructor told us to check the next time we see a begger from a squatter camp with his dog on a street corner.
It is amazing how well behaved those dogs are. The mutt will usually have no leash, but he will lie quietly next to his owner all day long in the sun, and when the beggar walks home, the dog will stick close to him and not run after every new scent like suburban dogs do.
Well, it is clear why these dogs are so well behaved – if they misbehave, their friggin legs get chopped off!
28 Oct 2010, 11:31 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : Spot on, Bevan

well he wasn’t stealing his owner’s food.
anyway the key word is allegedly.
for all we know the craftyfucker was probably stealing the food and blaming his dog.
like when people **** and then blame the dog.
cheeky mozambos.
28 Oct 2010, 11:35 am
@Dusky(Dusky) : hehe i must be “dumb”
28 Oct 2010, 11:35 am

@gunther(gunther) : you mean “Sharon’s Law” and stone them
28 Oct 2010, 11:37 am
@gunther(gunther) : Actually, I have got the perfect punishment for such a deed.
Take the guy, give him the knife he used to cut the dogs legs off with to defend himself with, and put him into a cage with a Bengal Tiger or a Polar bear. Let him feel how it feels to be defenseless against something several times more powerful than you are.
28 Oct 2010, 11:38 am
John Galt
on paper Wp is the better team … same story vs the Bulls ..
I must say the Sharks played like demons vs the Bulls.
@ Home … 50/50 game … If the game was @ newlands province would’ve walked it!
28 Oct 2010, 11:39 am
@Atreides(Atreides) : I think his feet should be cut off for coming into South Africa illegally in the first place ?
I have an angle grinder…the blade is not very sharp, but it will do.
28 Oct 2010, 11:40 am
Off the subject, there’s also a Currie Cup final being played this weekend…
28 Oct 2010, 11:40 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : You said it.
28 Oct 2010, 11:40 am
@Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) : There’s always that….
28 Oct 2010, 11:41 am
@Dusky(Dusky) :
You could use the Cape Town Stadium. I’m sure you’ll be able to sell tickets to such an event…
28 Oct 2010, 11:42 am
@Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) : True.
This is going to be one heck of a game. But since when is the Currie Cup final anything else ?
I must say, as a Sharks supporter – I dont have a very good feeling about this.
28 Oct 2010, 11:42 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : he did that cause he wasn’t fed.
28 Oct 2010, 11:44 am
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever) :
What’s your problem.
28 Oct 2010, 11:45 am
@Dusky(Dusky) : I think both camps of supporters have had their fair share of slip-ups in past play-off games to approach the game cautiously.
No whoopass this weekend
28 Oct 2010, 11:45 am
@Two Eyed(Two Eyed) : it’s pkao fellas, the comment was tongue-in-cheek…

Lemme do it please please please!!!!!!!!!!
28 Oct 2010, 11:47 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : yeah sorry…..realised it
28 Oct 2010, 11:48 am
Anyway, my outrage forced me to share this story on some platform. I agree it has diverted attention from the topic of the thread, so sorry about that.
I’ve said my piece.
28 Oct 2010, 11:51 am
@Tacitus(Tacitus) :
You are too easily outraged.
28 Oct 2010, 11:52 am
@Transformation(Transformation) : lol
28 Oct 2010, 11:53 am
@Dawn(Dawn) :
Yeah. I guess you find it strange that the article in question could possibly lead to outrage. No big deal, right?
28 Oct 2010, 11:53 am
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : No prob Tac. I was so revolted by what I saw on the PETA documentary, I literally felt nausea to the point of vomitting. I was disappointed in a way that I ever watched it, because some of those images will remain burnt into my mind forever.
I cant understand what kind of human being would inflict such devastating cruelty on something which cannot really defend itself in any way.
For me, these people represent the very lowest form of humanity.
28 Oct 2010, 11:57 am
@Tacitus(Tacitus) :
Let us call a truce.
We both over-reacted.
I watch the Dog Whisperer religiously and I think Alsatians are the best of the bestest. And Scotties. And Labbies. And all puppies.
But I draw the line at those tiny skinny dogs with those huge eyes that look in different directions and are always trembling.
Freak me out!
28 Oct 2010, 11:57 am
@Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) : Geez buddy, at least in the haze of this competitive build up, Sharks and WP supporters actually for once have something in common.
Both camps probably need something to calm the nerves
I know I will be having a drink or two Saturday !
So – good luck to your team
28 Oct 2010, 11:58 am
@Dusky(Dusky) : Let’s look at some key match-ups for this weekends game…
28 Oct 2010, 11:58 am
@Dusky(Dusky) :
Something is lacking within their soul/spirit/conscience/centre of awareness, whatever you wish to define consciousness as.
It’s like the empathy button has just been switched into the OFF position. Interestingly, research also shows that many sociopaths have a history of torturing small animals during their formative years.
So it begs the question: If an entire culture is earmarked by it’s lack of empathy towards animals, does it mean that sociopathic tendencies are to be expected among its population in general?
Might explain a lot of the rampant, violent crime in this country.
28 Oct 2010, 11:59 am
112. gunther(gunther) : chopping the legs of is a basic instinct if you’re a primitive savage
28 Oct 2010, 12:01 pm
@Dawn(Dawn) :
I disagree. I didn’t overeact. Whether you did or not, I have no opinion on that.
Anyway, aren’t we just having our usual banter? Why the need for a truce?
28 Oct 2010, 12:01 pm
@Dawn(Dawn) : I propase a ban on the use of the words “Scotties”, “Labbies”, and “best of the bestest”, on this site
All in favor, say “aye”
28 Oct 2010, 12:01 pm
Anyway people looking for a racial angle on this are shitoutofluck.
Maevis treats my dog like as he were one of the family.
She has even taught him to bark in isixhosa.
She picks him up and kisses him goodbye.
In return he keeps quiet about the sugar and coffee she takes home and all the wrestling she watches on TV.
28 Oct 2010, 12:01 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
On a serious note, that’s very true.
28 Oct 2010, 12:02 pm
@Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) : Noooooooooooooo….
I have examined and re-examined this too many times. Every time, I need to take a dose of Immodium, and a few Calmettes….
WP are the better team mate – there is no need in my opinion to continue evaluating the match ups.
28 Oct 2010, 12:03 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : you’ve been watching too much Dexter haven’t you
28 Oct 2010, 12:03 pm
124. Transformation(Transformation) :
stop it’s too much
28 Oct 2010, 12:05 pm
126. Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) :
propase?
bare?
have you been drinking?
or did you have the same english teacher as mighty?
28 Oct 2010, 12:05 pm
@gunther(gunther) :
You also have the sugar problem? Geez. My wife has taken to only filling the bottom of the sugar bowl with sugar, since whether it is full, three quarters full or half full, it inevitably ends up as quarter full when “Mavis” has been here.
It’s not even like she tries to be subtle about it. It’s like in the morning there’s a sh*t load of sugar. In the evening there’s suddenly far less.
My wife gets angry, but I say just ignore it, at least she isn’t stealing valuable stuff, and I know the responsibility of finding a replacement is just going to land on my shoulders, so it’s frankly not worth the bother to raise an issue about it.
But I often wonder: Is there some unspoken rule that stealing of sugar from your employer is somehow part of the perks of the job if you’re a domestic servant?
I mean, it’s not like she can possibly think we won’t notice. What gives?
28 Oct 2010, 12:08 pm
@Dusky(Dusky) :
Thanks for the heads up.
Have to visit the Ultra later.
No good going on a Friday, it’s too deurmekaar.
28 Oct 2010, 12:10 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : Our ‘Mavis’ used to have a particular fondness for any kind of pain tablet. We usually buy the 100 tablet Granpas from time to time – within a week or two there are 10 or so tablets left.
Funny thing is, I really dont mind. If she needs pain tablets – just ask. Its more about the deception, and the fact that she undervalues my intellect so blatantly to think I wont notice.
JUST ASK !
28 Oct 2010, 12:12 pm
@gunther(gunther) : Geez, the grammar police are out and about today…
28 Oct 2010, 12:13 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) :
I was taking the piss
my house does use more sugar than cuba produces in a year.
however that’s because Maevis has 6 spoons of sugar in every cup of tea.
I have tried to explain to her that that this is not ideal from a health perspective.
However I am deadly serious about the wrestling.
Maevis has burnt many a Ralph Lauren shirt whilst watching Prime Evil the Magnificent execute another flawless takedown.
and her name really is Maevis.
with an e.
she is part irish apparently.
28 Oct 2010, 12:13 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : hahahahaha call the Labour Department and ask them!
28 Oct 2010, 12:14 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : i’m on the lookout for a caucasian domestic servant, any leads?
28 Oct 2010, 12:16 pm
@Dusky(Dusky) : I had one of those too. Advils was her poison. I don;t think she actually took them, she probably had a second hand shop selling household goods somewhere…
28 Oct 2010, 12:17 pm
@gunther(gunther) : when you get home, ask her to demonstrate on you how the “stone cold stunner” is done
28 Oct 2010, 12:19 pm
You guys!
Stop it!
28 Oct 2010, 12:20 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : I’m with you on this. It’s a well known fact that sociopaths almost always were animal abusers at some stage. And bed wetters. And there was often an overbearing mother figure and absence of a good male role model.
And yes, I do extrapolate it to our society as a whole.
28 Oct 2010, 12:20 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) : According to the basic conditions of employment act, stealing is the one thing you can be dismissed for on the spot. You must just have sufficient proof.
A previous ‘Mavis’ tried to type a letter, incorrectly indicating what she earns and sign it on behalf of my wife to get one of these dodgey mini loans that you get at one of those 20 square metre ‘shops’ in the run down city center.
What she didn’t realise, is this dodgey loan shark happened to be underwritten by Nedbank, and we got a call from them to verify the information. Eish….busted !
28 Oct 2010, 12:20 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
No leads, but I know there are plenty of people who are desperate for work, so I’m sure you can find one pretty easily if you tried.
28 Oct 2010, 12:21 pm
@Frankly speaking(Frankly speaking) :
What you got against Scotties.
They are ………….. CUTE ……………….
Ban that one too.
28 Oct 2010, 12:22 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
transie I would avoid white servants if I were you.
they have dubious morals and questionable personal hygene.
unless you get a ukranian.
also you will be stuck with a massive phone bill because they vote a 1000 times after every round of idols to make sure a white person wins.
an asian is a good bet if you are bored with black domestics.
28 Oct 2010, 12:22 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) : If you lived in Pretoria, I would direct you to Walmer. There are plenty of caucasian people there looking for employment but keep your valuables locked up.
28 Oct 2010, 12:22 pm
@gunther(gunther) : Ralph Lauren: Hardenthefuckup.
28 Oct 2010, 12:23 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) :
I didn’t overreact either.
Just pointing out the selectivity of your finger-pointing.
So wah.
28 Oct 2010, 12:23 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
I’ll make sure I pay her first.
What I am worried about is the can of whoopass she is hiding from me.
28 Oct 2010, 12:24 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) : Ha ha ha ha…I never thought of that. You probably right. A Spaza shop selling the weeks ‘takings’
Sugar and pain tablets always available
28 Oct 2010, 12:26 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
Very interesting. Is it then far fetched to propose that a large section of South African society is prone to sociopathic behaviour? Add the lack of employment and you suddenly have the perfect mix.
No father figure, a culture of lack of empathy for animals and unemployment and voila: The perfect factory for producing hundreds of thousands of pscychopaths.
It would also explain why other countries – where income disparaties are as great or greater than in SA, like India for example – don’t have the violent crime problem that we have.
Hinduism intrinsically respects animal life – all life in fact – and I would presume that two parent families are much more prevalent in India than in South Africa.
And since sociopaths have zero empathy for others, it also explains the rampant corruption where a few can enrich themselves even though their brethren are dying of hunger.
I think we’ve found the answer to the enigma, my friend.
28 Oct 2010, 12:26 pm
147@gunther(gunther) : the blac domestics end up thinking i’m their son or if they’re close to my age that we’re buddies. it’s not on.
28 Oct 2010, 12:26 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
I wouldn’t have minded if they were one of your shirts from Monsieur Pricee or Markhams.
But I fly them in from the states.
and a burn mark in the shape of an iron spoils the look.

that’s the problem with the natives they don’t know their place.
they probably mock your private school accent behind your back too.

and where
the ARSEINGFUCK
have all the tablespoons gone….
28 Oct 2010, 12:33 pm
Bloody hell how did you people end up on this topic?
28 Oct 2010, 12:33 pm

I wish I knew.
28 Oct 2010, 12:35 pm
@gunther(gunther) : private school accent is only for when having drinks with Xhosakid at the Wayside Hotel in Butterworth during December holidays…otherwise i keep it Kasie!
28 Oct 2010, 12:35 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
Must say, I couldn’t deal with having a white Afrikaans domestic servant. I’d have to “tannie” her all day long. Wouldn’t work. So I guess we’re in the same boat. It just helps if the domestic is from a different culture, then you can have a good relationship while still maintaining the necessary distance required between an employer and employee.
28 Oct 2010, 12:37 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
that brings us on to the (t)horny issue of the hot young domestic.
my best mate got thrown out of his digs in London because he kept porking their hot polish maid.
there was so much boinking that no cleaning got done.
all in all they are best avoided.
the same as hot secretaries.
28 Oct 2010, 12:38 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : yes, all those 3 factors unfortunately play a role. I would add that many urbanised black people who are struggling to get a job are not born in the city in question but often come from a more Rural environment. Take Cape Town for example: Many young work seekers come from the Eastern Cape where the patriachal tribal system based on honour, respect for elders, “the villiage raising a child” for example, is left behind when they arrive here. The societal support structures are in many cases not as prevelant, which furthers the problem.
28 Oct 2010, 12:38 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) :
undercover brother…
28 Oct 2010, 12:39 pm
@gunther(gunther) : YOU TOO!!!???
28 Oct 2010, 12:40 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
Don’t buy that last part. While the lack of social support structure may conceivably lead to increased stealing and robberies, it doesn’t explain the violent nature of the crime.
Nope, the psychopath solution is far more fitting.
28 Oct 2010, 12:40 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : lmao @ “tannie her the whole day”
28 Oct 2010, 12:40 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) :
I’m looking for a career change and can clean like a demon.
So would you have me as your domestic.
28 Oct 2010, 12:41 pm
@gunther(gunther) : I buy from Big and Tall…
28 Oct 2010, 12:41 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : I’m not presenting them as either/or hypotheses, but rather as complimentary.
28 Oct 2010, 12:42 pm

Ja, I’m a traditional type of Afrikaans boy. Got to have respect for your elders.
28 Oct 2010, 12:43 pm
@gunther(gunther) : I had quite a few hot young tutors for my children. Unfortunately I was never at home at the same time as them. So my kids had a lot of fun, but not me……
28 Oct 2010, 12:43 pm
@gunther(gunther) : HAHAHAHAHAA that is f*cking funny! remember when he was infactuated with denise richards and had to eat mayonnaise?
28 Oct 2010, 12:44 pm
@Dawn(Dawn) :
No, you’ll totally ruin my peaceful existence. You’ll point out what a slob I am and generally act like Hitler to force me to get my act together.
Will be way too much stress for me to handle.
28 Oct 2010, 12:46 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) : I am buddies with my gardener. He and I will often sit and drink a beer on a Saturday after he is finished. I often give him extra money if he needs it, I have bought him new clothes and shoes a few times (not the scrap from my cupboard) and I pay him probably three times the going rate for someone who only works a Saturday morning.
Why ? Because I trust him, he works hard, looks after his family nicely and I know he wont steal a washer from me.
I got no problems with that. Some dont realise you reap what you sow.
28 Oct 2010, 12:47 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
Tutors? Friggin hell, do you also have two black Dobermins guarding the gates to your estate, walk around in a khaki safari suit all day long and have a personal P.I. driving around in a red Ferrari to sort out all your troubles for you?

@Dusky(Dusky) : is he Pedi? those are very good natured people…try a Xhosa gardener, you will see
28 Oct 2010, 12:51 pm
@Tacitus(Tacitus) : Ja – you bladdy Afrikaners that started that oom and tannie thing. The guy who built my house was an elderly gentlemen. We got on very well, and he did a good job, but my brothers in law (I am married into Afrikanerhood) asked me how can I call him by his first name.
I said to them. I will call him Oom Piet if he calls me Mr Smith. I am building a house with him, a business deal with several 0′s in the price….if he wants me to call him Oom, he can call me Mister, or Sir.
To heck with that. He is not my uncle. Funny how cultures differ.
But you know, its mos us ‘rude’ English….ons wat die ‘satans taal’ praat…
28 Oct 2010, 12:51 pm

No, that’s me.

28 Oct 2010, 12:58 pm
@Dusky(Dusky) : zulu…
28 Oct 2010, 13:00 pm
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots) : Would that be the Shelby from “Lesbo 101 7″, or the Shelby from “Playboy: No Boys Allowed, 100% Girls” ?
Or someone else perhaps?
28 Oct 2010, 13:03 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) : Eish, and he supports the Bulls…
Haikona wena…..I am going to give him a slap down the next time I see him. A Zulu Bulls supporter ? Since when ?
At least he also supports Kaizer Chiefs…so he and I have common ground on that one
28 Oct 2010, 13:05 pm
Geez, it hits 1pm and everything goes quiet here. Did the factory siren go ? Lunch time ?
28 Oct 2010, 13:08 pm
193@Dusky(Dusky) : well, next time ask him why he supports the Bulls, is he just on the bandwagon or he actually likes something about them
28 Oct 2010, 13:08 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
No, this Shellby has two l’s.
Go well go Shellby!!!
She’s a legend! Strange you don’t know her!

28 Oct 2010, 13:13 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
Yeah you are too young!
Dusky and her have a lot in common! She was known to have shot the Sheriff, but no-one actually knows if it really happened.
28 Oct 2010, 13:14 pm
@Dusky(Dusky) :
according to xhosanostra blacks only say they support the bulls to suck up to their white bosses
have you told him you are a sharks supporter?
maybe he will start saying nice things about Patrick Lambie instead of raving over Frankie Hougaard.
28 Oct 2010, 13:14 pm

Yeah legends I say! I miss them too! Only the oldies would know, wouldn’t they! Makes me feel young!
28 Oct 2010, 13:16 pm

what’s the story with black people and mayonnaise?

In my opinion this guy has a better temperament to be able to play at international level than Shadow never mind skills. As you know skills can be taught but temperament and self belief particularly to be able to compete at international level are sometimes inherent, think of a David Campese or Danie Gerber. These kind of guys thrive on pressure and generally have incredible self-belief.
Thats why a number of folks are punting him and not because he has special skills although his skills aren’t that bad.

My mouth is watering now at the thought…fry some onion and garlic and sliced chestnut mushrooms until softened and browned, stir in arborio rice – chuck in some white wine, simmer, then some vegetable stock, let it simmer until it’s all been absorbed – repeat until the rice is plump and tender…then stir in soaked porcini mushrooms with parsley, butter, salt and pepper…serve it with some grated Parmesan.
Yum!
28 Oct 2010, 14:55 pm
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever) :
in our family only the men make it.
we use chicken stock and brown mushrooms.
the secret is to let the wine boil away before adding the stock.
and then wait a little bit. it gives you that nutty flavour.
the italians call it the “temptation”.
In Italian obviously.
28 Oct 2010, 14:59 pm

Correct – the wine does need to simmer away first.

28 Oct 2010, 15:03 pm
@gunther(gunther) :
The meek shall not inherit the earth – even former all black coaches
Ben Trovato
‘FORMER All Blacks coach thankful over
stabbing.” This is what the pestilential
counter-revolutionary press sprang on me
while I was minding my own business
drinking breakfast earlier in the week.
I knew there was something wrong with
the headline, but it took until the fourth
Bloody Mary to work it out. New Zealanders
are never grateful for anything other than a
win over the Springboks. And maybe two
consecutive days of sunshine. And not
being mistaken for Australians.
South Africans emigrate to New Zealand. It’s
what they do now that Australia is full. New
Zealanders, on the other hand, do not
emigrate to South Africa. It would be like
moving from Singapore to Kampala to get
away from the filth and chaos.
John Mitchell, however, is a rare breed. The
ex-All Black flanker did the unthinkable and
took up a contract to coach the Lions rugby
team in Joburg.
I freshened up my Bloody Mary and read
the story. It turned out that Mitchell wasn’t
particularly thankful for being stabbed by
housebreakers. He was, however, thankful
that the knife had missed the artery in his
leg. Which is not the same thing at all.
Depraved sensationalist media swine.
Forget the tribunal. On the first Saturday of
every month, wheel a huge chrome
guillotine into Sandton Square and start
chopping off their lurid little heads. If it’s
melodrama they’re after, we’ll give them
melodrama.
Mitchell is not a small man. With a shaven
head, he is even more terrifying. I’d have
second thoughts about going at him with a
chainsaw while he was unconscious, let
alone lunge at him with a rusty Okapi while
he’s still awake.
He said afterwards: “It’s not nice waking up
and having to defend your life.” I imagine
it’s not. I find the mere act of waking up
traumatic enough. There was one time I
woke up and had to defend myself against
Brenda, which wasn’t easy, considering that
I was in the flower bed and inexplicably
lame from the hips down.
Mitchell went for trauma counselling. After
waiting in a queue of 50000 other shocked
people, he was issued with a government-
approved look of sympathy, a standard
non-threatening pat on the back and a
disconnected phone number to call should
he need more help.
At a conservative guess, I would say that, at
any given time, at least half the population
is suffering from post-traumatic stress
disorder. In this country, it’s not even
recognised as a disorder. If anything, it’s
considered a minor inconvenience.
Can’t stop weeping and trembling? Here,
have an aspirin. Nightmares? Blackouts?
Emotionally numb? Rub a little vaseline on
your temples. Got your eye poked out with
a screwdriver? Had boiling oil poured down
your ears? Mix up a glass of sugar water
and you’ll be right as rain. Come on, now.
No shirking. Back to work you go.
Although he hasn’t been asked, Mitchell
doesn’t strike me as being the kind of
person who would say of his attackers: “I
forgive them and feel no hatred in my
heart.”
I do not understand people who say
this sort of thing after having their hair set
alight and their faces ironed. J-esus was big
on absolution and look what happened to
him. Pardon my French, but the meek shall
not inherit the earth. They shall continue to
be stomped on and ripped off.
As for Mitchell, well, he says he needs to find
closure and move on with his life. No, John.
Forget about finding closure. What you
need to do is find those red-eyed savages.
You need to find them and tear their balls
off. It worked for Charles Bronson in Death
Wish and it can work for you.
I’ve got your back.

@Transformation(Transformation) :
Yes, it’s the “First Fruits Festival” – subjects of the Zulu king ar not are not permitted to eat from the crops without first offering them to the king. In essence, the king must eat first before the nation can eat. In a form of microcosm of this, in households the elders will eat first.
The killing of the bull is but one aspect of the festival. Killing the bull with the bare hands was considered to test the courage and bravery of the amabutho.

One thing I picked up when spending time in the Midlands (my uncle and cousins lived in Bergville) is that the Zulus dearly love their cattle.

as long as it’s not a blue bull.
on the subject of livestock:
A priest kept chickens at his village
parish and one evening the cockerel went
missing. At mass the priest asked
“Who has a ****?” All the men got up.
“No, I meant who has seen a ****”
All the women stood up.

Ben Travato is a fking ***.
Have you ever seen the guy being interviewed?
He has the voice of a 13 year old girl and never lets the camera show his face.
How ridiculous is that?! Its like he thinks he’s important and contraversial enough that people might actually put a hit out on him.

Ja look, I grew up slaughtering cattle OK? I know abattoirs are far from ideal, but it’s pretty humane compared to what’s discussed here.
I too realized for myself that these certain cultures don’t have an appreciation for live like I would expect.
I remeber things like they would always hit the horses in the face with a shortened “piksteel”, or not give the lambs their shots when we cut the tails off, or even heating the guillotine up properly, instead just pulling the tail off. I’ve seen enough, thank you.

@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever) :
That being said, a lot of the arguments for vegetarianism make sense. For one, the impact on earth by the massive earth population eating beef (requiring massive inputs of water and food, and resulting in significant amounts of greenhouse gas production) is immense.
That being said, I can’t give up meat.
Personally, I just wish our population (the entire earth) was a tenth of what it is…

That’s the convenience of the Kimberley Hotel, nice big open balcony sufficiently high off the ground level with lots of conveniently spaced support columns.
We’ll just need to ensure the lower levels are properly barricaded. I’m told zombies don’t climb very well, is that true? Because if it’s not my plan is more flawed than a piano performance of Chopin’s Nocturne No. 9 by Julius Malema…
28 Oct 2010, 16:44 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy) :
the recoil on a semi auto can be a *****.
especially when you are shooting small game and children.

Hahahahahaaa…. sharons law!!! FFS what next!
Fell off my soap box.
28 Oct 2010, 21:03 pm
Carefull on that soap box chap.
It’s a slippery place to be.
28 Oct 2010, 21:19 pm
and they tell me i talk ****
anyone care to enlighten specifically what was discussed here today besides that heart wrenching despicable story of abject inhumane inhumanity towards his lesser co-habitable beings
always never ceases to amaze these heart rendering stories of our absolute horror at how humans treat lesser intelligently endowed creatures of this planet, while in the very same breath we shoveling a steak fork full of juicy fatty dead flesh obliterated in the highly humane abattoirs of our incandescent merciful death factories down our absolutely empathetic gullets

@skopskiet(yliad) :
lmao @ skop, this silence of the lambie thread was ‘something special’ 
28 Oct 2010, 21:34 pm
@Transformation(Transformation) : was going to be helping out with a baby elephant (couple of weeks old) at a friend and documentary makers animal sanctuary, it had been stolen, can u believe it.
It died before they could get it there, had drunk contaminated water from a container that that had diesel in it.
Was so nice to read a man that is so into his rugby freak out like that, one of my first thoughts was i could just hug this man.

They’ve succesfully selectively created the next bokkie boy wunderkind, poor little lead to the slaughter Lambiekins
h’es already the next messiah without even so much as raising a hand or a boot in anger
If I were him I’d start running for the hills and never emerge again till all the immaculate fanfare of adulation has blown over the Tugela River.
28 Oct 2010, 21:59 pm
Yeah one can argue old Tacit-twoshoes does have some little bitty heart pumping in that humane human chest of his
but my next question remains how merciful to the cause of concern for all the bludgeoned blicksemed bloodied beasts all wtacked in pain and obliterated for the merciful plight for human consumption by stuffing them into those bully beef cans of whoopass stacked on the eco friendly Pick n Pay shelves of humane conscience.
28 Oct 2010, 22:04 pm
Have to feel bad for the kid, if he just has a good game and there are no thunderbolts shooting from his eyes while he single handedly destroys wp, everyone will say he is a poodle, hype is bad, makes for unrealistic expectations.
28 Oct 2010, 22:25 pm
@Treehugger(Treehugger) : yoh, what an active imagination boom massuer
‘thunderbolts shooting from his eyes’. Even if he has a pedestrian game and the Sharks happen to win, then it will be praise & adulation for him ad nauseum!
28 Oct 2010, 22:26 pm
animal rights activists that eat animals for breakfast lunch and supper, now thats some high handed authority of animal welfare talking
chop the human feckers legs off for maiming the poor defenseless creature by all means while we nonchalantly sit and idly chit chat over sunday roast as we stuff our overfed mouths with some more dead humanely slaughtered flesh from the fok fok abattoir down the road, round the bend, conveniently outa sight and outa mind.
Why don’t you go get all actively righteous over there where thousands of the ill bred, pain wracked factory fried beasts are humanely put to the slaughter for your well worn pallatable activity?
28 Oct 2010, 22:45 pm
ain’t it just awe inspiring amazing how we humanely endowed sapiens hug trees, chop humans legs off, eat crabs, frogs legs, sea cockroaches, birds eggs, snails, horses, dogs, cats, cows, cows babies, goats and their babies, sheep and their little lambiekins, crocodiles, ostriches and shark for biltong breakfasts, drop napalm bombs on humans, incinerate other humans in gas chambers, hack some others to death over ethnicity or religion, boil some humans in huge pots alive and boil their blood, and commit harikiri, almost all in one fowl awesome human breath.
oh what a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and movement how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.
28 Oct 2010, 22:47 pm
@skopskiet(yliad) : you are an extremely unpleasant negative person, never a nice or positive thing to say, believe it or not, everything you say is not gospel, but speaking with you is pointless i have noticed as you suffer from extreme tunnel vision.
and i rarely understand what u are saying when u rant.

28 Oct 2010, 22:56 pm
how short are we in the flyhalf department that a kid like patrick lambie is so exalted?
sure, he is cool hand luke, but hardly a naas or a lem when it comes to the kicking or attacking facets of flyhalf play.
hopefully he will develop into a really good international level player.
but..at the moment, he is just a talented kid.
28 Oct 2010, 23:03 pm
its very positive being an animal rights activist that has somebody else put a slug between the sheeps brain so you can stew it or braai it for your sunday lunch, while at same time go @pe sh’t balistic over the shark poachers or the rhino horn and elephant tusk smugglers, I’ll grant you that.
All I’m suggesting is that if you going to actively activate over inhumane injustices, rather consider those injustices just a little closer to home, like right within your refrigerator, and in your gut.
i know its an uncomfortable thought to contemplate but the sheep that got her throat slit for your palatable satisfaction, likewise the cow and calf and chicken and goat, is just as much a live warm blooded feeling creature as the elephant and ill bred ill fed misused creature that needs human protection from other inhumane humans.
Consider your humane humanity, or else your inhumanity, choice is yours at the end of the day. But don’t pretend to be a saint when you doing as much slaughtering as the next.
28 Oct 2010, 23:12 pm
@skopskiet(yliad) : So, which side of the fence are you on, Skopsuster? Do you eat nothing but veggies?
28 Oct 2010, 23:27 pm
@kaksioek(kaksioek) : And perhaps the odd humble pie.
28 Oct 2010, 23:30 pm
yippie you guessed it, that’s the side of the fence I’m sitting on, the lesser amount of suffering that’s possible in this suffering infested world the better if anyone can possibly help it. Not that that’s all that cut n dried to achieve, due to one man’s horse meat is anothers dog meat which is likewise anothers cow meat or someone else’s whale meat, but one can always try, That’s the side of the fence I prefer to butter my toast or crunch my wheatbix.
28 Oct 2010, 23:33 pm
Yes its awefull, but most humans have eaten meat since who knows when, i try not to think how the meat got on my plate.
I detest hunting for fun or sport, but a person that hunts for the pot i dont have a proplem with, i imagine if i had to i would.
So how many animals have you saved, do u pick up strays and take them home, do u go feed starveing ferals where u know they hide, do u do any volunteer work, i know live in town so i would imagine it is the least u could do.
As for me, i have no need to justify to you, apart for the fact my life revolves totally around animal cept when i leave my reality that i chose and watch rugby, which is fantastic, because watching rugby is total escapism from some nasty stuf.
28 Oct 2010, 23:37 pm
@skopskiet(yliad) : Well good for you Skoppie. I admire the fact that you live by your principles. I couldn’t do it myself.
28 Oct 2010, 23:41 pm
humble pie and tree hugging go hand in hand like skipping around the may pole. Its those Nazi shark conservationists that cry croc tears when one them cold blooded merciless killers get the chop while they brazenly brandish their sawn off shot gun in search of human flesh for their gallows pole or zebra hide to hang over their mantle piece you gotta be worrying about.
28 Oct 2010, 23:44 pm
@skopskiet(yliad) : Who’s going to take the cup on Saturday Skop?
28 Oct 2010, 23:48 pm
i didnt understand what u just said, please rephrase or something, am serious.
28 Oct 2010, 23:51 pm
ta ta kaksoeker
animal saving is admirable as well we know all creatures great and small the lord god made them all and everyone including the meercat and the hornbill the leopard and the aardvaak all need some soft human hearted conscience to get them through the deadly maze of suffering. But then sheeps and goats and calves and salmon and turkeys and geese and porcupines could do with some emancipatory saving just the same, or are they somehow excluded from our saving grace?.
28 Oct 2010, 23:55 pm
@skopskiet(yliad) : I don’t know skop – those porcupines are just so delicious.
28 Oct 2010, 23:55 pm
@charo – the wp giant(charo) : it’s all those pretentious twits from Michaelhouse that are sooo eager to see Lambie become a Bok so they can break their duck. Now they are talking him up to the hilt, the same way the Bishops fools talked up Nick Koster and called him the ‘real deal’ and said he had bok written all over him, where is he now?
29 Oct 2010, 00:02 am
WP gonna be having Tjarkie biltong for din dins saturday arvies, the stoopid Tjarkfish in the aquarium already seen to that.
No worries huggie drlin just my lame attempt at some otherwise dry humour, just you keep that soft human compassionate heart beating inside that humane conscientious chest of yours, just try also extending it to all Gods creatures great and small, especially those you can actually do something about their inhumanely conditioned plight.
29 Oct 2010, 00:06 am
lol, have done plenty porcipines, look i am no good at this argueing stuf, i just know i am very good at rehabilitateing damaged animals and that is why they are brought to me, have just finished with a hadeda and realeased it, u know its strong enough when u dread every feed cos u think its goimg to break your hand. Anyway my speciality is *******, am off now, useing the cel is hard work, sleep tight be kinder to people that dont share yr views.

nice to see the reply buttons working again.

@skopskiet(yliad) :
skoppie – thank goodness your predictions generally have been wrong.
cheers boys – hitting the sack
29 Oct 2010, 00:10 am
Sharks to locate that missing can of whoopass and open it. Skop to eat nothing for a week due to the foot in his mouth. Treehugger to die wondering. Night all.
29 Oct 2010, 00:10 am
@Treehugger(Treehugger) :
should have let the hadeda meet it’s maker – irritating at 0500 in the morning.

29 Oct 2010, 01:03 am
kindness is for may pole skipping tree huggers, harsh reality is for those willing to open up their carnivorous conditioned eyes, who think saving one wounded buffalo is akin to redemption from eating a thousand defenseless lambs and calves and their unsuspecting mommy’s
Its good and noble saving the stray dog and the wounded wild jack rabbit or vulture, it may very well be quite a fair bit nobler not putting to death and gurgling on the suffering and inhumanity of obliviously ignoring how and why the poor rare done steak got onto your high society well wishing animal saving plate and down your obliviously unconscionable throat, and through your gut and gall stone sensitive intestines, and all for what? A baseless Bavarian blood lust, a fickle fallacy that humans were designed by evolution as carnivorous barbarians salivating over blood and sinewy flesh between their herbivorous jaws? You gotta be kidding yourself that you some animal messiah when you condemning them by the thousands to the deadly humaneless death chambers for your whimsical palatable pleasure in the roasting ovens, spits and barbecue’s of humanly inhumanity over his own nature given kingdom.
Yep its hard work trying teaching merciful morality via cel phone, guess enoughs enough.

What impresses me is he seams to have loads of time to do things. His catch of the high ball in the semis was as good as the kick was poor.
He is not as good as Elton at poles but neither are as good as Elgar Watts in backline play.

@Tacitus(Tacitus) : you care more about dogs than people Tac?”
That’s an odd statement…from an odd person.
29 Oct 2010, 09:54 am
@kaksioek(kaksioek) : If we aren’t meant to eat animals why are they made of meat?
I think chooping ht eback legs off a dog and leaving it for days, or cutting the fins off a shark and dumpin git back in the sea, or sawin gthe horn off a rhino an leaving it to die are a teeny bit different than a bolt pistol betweeen the eyes Skop. Not saying abbatoirs are warm fuzzy places full of flowers and fun. But there is some thought and effort to try to minimise the animals suffering as much as possible (although to be fair this only happened in the last few decades) and not torture them and cause unneccesary pain. Big difference. If he was starving to death and buthchered the dog to eat, that would be a very doifferent scenario.
29 Oct 2010, 10:38 am
So tell me what exactly do vegetarians feed off, if not living lifeforms?
And what of our ancient forbears and many of our modern cousins who rely on the most vrual methods of ensnaring and capturing their food? Those animals suffer far worse than any cow or sheep reared in a grazing herd whose last thought is a bolt thru the kop. So what is the point, it is ok to kill provided we do it ourselves even if it causes infinitely more suffering?
If you want to eat herbgrass and nuts because you consider them lower lifeforms that is your business, but don’t enforce your morality on others. There’s a world of difference between killing an animal quickly in an abbatoir for food as opposed to purposefully seeking to injure it to teach it a lesson.
You’re a bladdy idiot.
29 Oct 2010, 11:45 am
You have to wonder at a mind that can equate killing animals for food to dismembering one for no reason other than to cause suffering
29 Oct 2010, 19:00 pm
bunch of ignoramus f’ng morons these dumb deluded know-it-all, know nothing imbecile, moronic modern day science worshipping ignorance is bliss idiot scientists, the stupefication entrenched pair of them.
These dumb schmuck deluded imbecile creeps should try it sometime, bunch of arrogant pathetic inhuman fools. Try get herded onto a crammed fear riddled cattle truck in abject inhumane conditions knowing this is the end, impending fear heralded death staring you in the face as these dumb crass heathenous humans line you up on the stench filled fear riddled hell hole of a death row en masse with countless others, the impending death knell bolt between your fully conscious eyes or through the side of your brain awaiting. Try it you dumb f’ck deluded bunch of moronic arrogant inhuman @sshole ignoramus scientific fools.
And who the f’ck is making comparisons, only you are comparing one despicable cowardly heinous act of barbarity and pathetic gross inhumanity with another.
Who brought up this subject of gross despicable cowardly intolerable inhuman act of hell? Wtf for? To garner what type of heathenous human reaction to who or what? Anyone that can carry out such a despicable act of sick inhumanity as portrayed here is not human, their barbarity extends way beyond the most despicable act of incredulous cruelty worse than any animal. Barbarity to its cruelest absolute extreme.
And still you try justify your penchant for blood lust. Where the hell are you born, in the Arctic tundra where the only food you can find are four legged warm blooded mammals where its you or nature head to head?.
Who is the stupidity entrenched moronic fool who equates human gluttony for another mammals flesh and blood barbarity with the need for survival, which stupefied deluded ignoramus scientist continues to live in abject ignorance thinking his human genetic and digestive metabolism is designed for carnivorous blood and flesh intake? Which dumb science worshipping idiots still BELIEVE that they are entitled to deprive another warm blooded conscious air breathing mammal for the sake of their bloated barbarous belly? you dumb cretin ignoramus science toting idiot.
Trying to compare one intolerable act of barbarous inhuman cowardice with the need for survival in your urban jungle and then stuffing your justifying ignorant arrogant face with another rump steak cut from the @ss of an unsuspecting creature who’s only act of unsuspecting non intent towards you was to be born within your heathenous barbarous blood lusting proximity so you could act out you insensitive barbarous killing for the sake of your corpse filled bloated stomach, idiotic feeble intolerable ignoramus barbarian neanderthal.
