What? No dragons?
19 Oct 2011, 09:12 am
Pocock has Bryce Lawrence to thank for making the cut.
How Sam Warburton’s name didn’t make the list is a joke.
19 Oct 2011, 09:12 am
Will Genia dragon!
19 Oct 2011, 09:18 am
Jerome Kaino for me.
Massive year.
19 Oct 2011, 09:19 am
Give it to Pocock.
19 Oct 2011, 09:20 am
Warburton is a flash in the pan. Boks chances for player of the year were zero. We played a b-team in tri-nations and the best players were riding the bench in world cup.
19 Oct 2011, 09:24 am
Jerome kaino will get it!
19 Oct 2011, 09:24 am
@wp_boytjie(wp_boytjie)-2:
They did not draw the list up based on one performance.
Even last sunday, behind a beaten pack, Pocock was still very good,
I reckon it will be either him or Kaino but as the AB’s will win the world cup it will probably be Kaino.
19 Oct 2011, 09:24 am
It’s the same old farts in the selection panel each year.
19 Oct 2011, 09:25 am
Looks more like a Player of the World Cup list! #skewed.
19 Oct 2011, 09:26 am
Yes McCaw is not there! So he cant undeservedly win it again!
19 Oct 2011, 09:28 am
@Robzim(Robzim)-8:
To each his own man.
I don’t remember seeing Pocock in the pathetic Force team.
@Dwis(Dwis)-6:
Warburton has been the best no7 at the World Cup. Flash in the pan se gat
19 Oct 2011, 09:28 am
Sorry boys it will be Nonu – has kept the scary talented SBW out of the Abs side , is undoubtedly the best no 12 at this years WC , and will no doubt tear the french to pieces on the weekend.
Pocock has been made to look a pretender by McCaw last sat , he had one “good ” game against the Boks , but many will argue ref .
The rest not outstanding
19 Oct 2011, 09:29 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-10:
Yip, performances at the world cup certainly carried quite some weight.
I see during 2007 and 2003 both winners came from the wc winning teams as well.
19 Oct 2011, 09:29 am
@wp_boytjie(wp_boytjie)-12:
He was injured for most of the super 15.
19 Oct 2011, 09:30 am
So lucky McCaw has been injured this year – his name still wouldnt be out of place
19 Oct 2011, 09:31 am
The IRB Player of the Year award may as well become the All Blacks Player of the Year award.
Jerome Kaino does deserve it though, but where the F does Piri Weepu come in? He’s only just become the AB starting halfback, and hasn’t been nearly as good as some others…
The panel says it all. High time they follow the lead of the NFL, and have journos nominate and vote for players. These guys are obviously clueless.
19 Oct 2011, 09:31 am
IMO Schalk had one of the finest WC s i have seen him play in – if they had got through he certainly would of been my player of tournament.
19 Oct 2011, 09:32 am
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-17:
I’d rather Keohane have a say then Francois Pienaar, funnily enough.
19 Oct 2011, 09:33 am
Hendrikp: who’d your list have included?
19 Oct 2011, 09:34 am
@stew(stew)-13:
Jerome Kaino = Freak.
He’s been the best player in that All Blacks side throughout the year.
19 Oct 2011, 09:34 am
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-19:
You bet. Keo would have picked Butch James as player of the year
19 Oct 2011, 09:35 am
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-20:
Schalk Burger for one.
19 Oct 2011, 09:36 am
@Robzim(Robzim)-22:
Haha I don’t think he’d be that daft.
Genuinely though, these guys are f’ing clueless.
McCaw winning it in 09 was a disgrace. Threw all their credibility out the window.
19 Oct 2011, 09:37 am
what the hell has piri weepu done to be nominated? nc nc nc
kaino to take it, was massive on the eoyt last november, was solid but not stellar for the blues, picked up where he left off for the world cup warm ups, tri-nations, has been excellent in the world cup – metres gained, tackle busts, error free and marvelous distribution (see keiran read try against the argies in qrtrs)
JK is the man
19 Oct 2011, 09:39 am
One of those Ozzies to take it.
19 Oct 2011, 09:39 am
the awards are a joke after mc caw got it in 2009….a season brussouw spent most of his time waiting at the breakdown for the lions and kiwis to arrive. Or…even a season morne steyn smashed all superrugby records and followed it up by smashing tri-nation ones?
oh well, who knows….
for me, I’ve been hugely impressed with nonu, I always thought he was completely ordinary when compared with mauger before him….but he has really developed his game in the past few months.
19 Oct 2011, 09:40 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-25:
Got that right. He’s been the best player in that All Blacks line-up consistently by far.
It probably would’ve gone to Israel Dagg if they gave him the 15 jersey and forgot about it.
19 Oct 2011, 09:40 am
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-24: Yes but he should have won it in 2008 anyway – but i do agree 2009 should have been FDP
19 Oct 2011, 09:40 am
Five All Blacks? I only see three. Or have they reserved two more spots for Kiwis based on their triumphant final and subsequent knighthood… I mean ticker tape parade?
19 Oct 2011, 09:41 am
Matfield – on his performance against the Convicts. Hell, maybe for being the best no. 5 lock of his generation.
19 Oct 2011, 09:41 am
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-24:
It will always been controversial- as Tim Noakes would say “it is not scientific”
19 Oct 2011, 09:52 am
Called it a few weeks back.
Jerome Kaino is now the best blindside in the world.
And is possibly the best performing rugby player on the planet. Will get IRB Player of the Year and deservedly so.
AB coaches especially Henry must be so proud of Kaino and the transformation he has made over the last 4-5 years.From freak athlete who did all the flashy stuff with little to no starch in his makeup…now he is the FULL article.Hard *** nails,still explosive and athletic with no near perfect error rate and a gentleman to boot.
He is what Spies will NEVER be.(Kaino was/is almost as freakish a pure athlete Spies is,but 10 times the rugby player-transition been a honour to watch)
Jerome Kaino….ALL PRO
19 Oct 2011, 09:53 am
@Brigadier Van Zyl(Brigadier Van Zyl)-27: agreed, the award means nothing since then!
19 Oct 2011, 09:58 am
Jerome Kaino has been huge for the All Blacks this year.
19 Oct 2011, 09:59 am
My list:
2011 IRB Player of the Year Nominees:
Bismark du Plessis
Jerome Kaino
Ma’a Nonu
David Pocock/Sam Warburton
Will Genia
Schalk Burger/Sean O’brien
19 Oct 2011, 10:00 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-33: If only Spies can learn a thing or two from Kaino.
19 Oct 2011, 10:02 am
Kaino deserves this award. He has been consistently good all year.
19 Oct 2011, 10:05 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-37:
Yep,my sentiments exactly.
But you watch Spies and with so many deficiencies in his game especially the defensive facet of his game and inability to INFLUENCE flow of a game/impact on opposition etc I dont see it happening. Been playing 5 years of Test rugby…..
Just dont think he is capable of such a transition.Hopefully he proves me DEAD wrong.
19 Oct 2011, 10:15 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-36: chaps, come on, there’s a difference between Player of the YEAR and Player of the TOURNAMENT
what has sam warburton done outside of this world cup? sean o’brien?
where was pocock in the match in durban?
19 Oct 2011, 10:19 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-40: Transie we all know the winner of the list is not really a true reflection of the year. 2009 proves that. All 5 have a chance… just depends who buys the biggest present.
Victor Matfield never made the list…. what a laugh.
List is a joke…..

@HHS(Hop Hop Spinnekop)-41: You asked the question already….. why is fatty Piri on the list?
Like I said a joke.
19 Oct 2011, 10:29 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-40:
Yeah fair enough. But apparently Warburton has been playing well for a while now. Highly rated in Europe prior to RWC-and he showed it to be fair.
Pocock was filthy good last yr,no superrugby tho
19 Oct 2011, 10:37 am
i think it will go to pocock… not saying i would give it to him but think he’s the new ‘darling’ of the IRB…
can’t believe dustautoir is there…
i think both kaino and pocock benefitted from not playing against juan or schalk in the 3N
my pick however… would be kaino… because I get really irritated with pocock appealing to the ref all the time when things go against him… and at least kaino is a no-nonsense hard grafting player…
19 Oct 2011, 10:48 am
Strange that Victor Matfield… who redefined the science of the line out and took this aspect of rugby to new heights – literally… has never been recognised by the IRB for his contribution to rugby and total dominance of his position over the last 6 or 7 years.
I don’t believe any other player has owned his position and opposition so comprehensively for such a length of time… and not been recognised for it…?
Absolute shame on the IRB for ignoring such a talented, hard-working and standard-setting player.
I wonder if it has anything to do with “Nobody’ Eales being on the committee…?
#justwondering…
19 Oct 2011, 10:49 am
Depends on what grounds they choose the winner. If they look at playing skills, Pocock and Kaino , if they look at more , Weepu , he might not be as good as Genia , but his influence in stepping in when Carter left the RWC , is priceless.
19 Oct 2011, 10:52 am
Lol. Well we already established that this award is a joke 2 years ago. Play, I understand you have to have Anzacs on the list. Why Weepoo though? He’s played about 2 tests this year and not in impressive fashion. Pocock is an untalented muscle, as was proved with a non paid off ref in Joubert. Genia has been awful this year, he crabs sideways and then gets picked off by a loose forward and driven back 15 meters.
Honestly surprised McCaw isn’t nominated.
Where is Burger? Bismarck? Matfield? Steyn?
F-uck you IRB. Go pay off some more refs.
19 Oct 2011, 10:53 am
Lol!! Paddy really does not like the South Africans. Get those Yarpies Paddy. We get your women so you may as well get the men.
19 Oct 2011, 10:59 am
Matfield, the greatest lock of all time hasn’t won this award once. Kind of puts things into perspective. I’d love to see the reasoning behind this dogshit list.
Once again, the IRB shows how much they loathe the Boks and South Africa. If it wasn’t for the whole Mandela 95 racial love story we’d be ranked about 10th.
19 Oct 2011, 11:06 am
What… No Reechie on the nominees list? How dare they… Its a fix.
I nominate someone who has been forgotten…
Someone who has been the centre of rugby in this World Cup…
The centre of the Rugby Universe…
The Lord of the Results…
No team can win except through him…
I nominate:
The “all powerful” REF…Paddy O Brien can collect on behalf of this now near mythical figure… The true Titan of the Modern Game.
19 Oct 2011, 11:12 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-42:
I would move Digby Ioane off your bench and into the starting line-up ahead of Kahui.
I would also nominate him for “Player of the year”.
19 Oct 2011, 11:18 am
Justice4Cyclops.
19 Oct 2011, 11:19 am
Weepu???!!! Fat boy Weepu???!!! He’s good (so-so), but seriously?
19 Oct 2011, 11:23 am
@Kobus Kitty(Kobus Kitty)-50: Lets be honest for a second and not be biased – which SA player in both S15 and international level has been outstanding this year ????
19 Oct 2011, 11:25 am
@cane(cane)-52:
Yeah but Kahui has had a stellar world cup.Thats why thats my RWC 22 (Ioane was injured after Italy game so didnt feature in Round Robin much then was avg/mediocre vs Boks and same vs NZ bar one amazing run)
Kahui & Jane have been simply outstanding in rwc
19 Oct 2011, 11:27 am
Rugby World Cup XV
15 Dagg
14 Jane
13 Smith
12 Nonu
11 Kahui
10 Bryce
9 Warthog
8 Read
7 Cheat
6 Kaino
5 Whitelock
4 Thorne
3 Paddy
2 Alain
1. Woodcock
Obviously all New Zealanders or honorary new Zealanders … The team of the tournament… The greatest side ever.
19 Oct 2011, 11:30 am
Well I have to agree with no Boks on the list.
To be honest no one player has jumped out and dominated this year.
Reckon Kaino has as good a chance as anybody.
If Coopers S15 form had translated onto the test match arena he would have won hands down but it goes to show that it is a big step up.
19 Oct 2011, 11:30 am
@stew(stew)-55: Piri Weepu!
19 Oct 2011, 11:31 am
@stew(stew)-55:
Bismark du Plessis,Schalk Burger,Willem Alberts.
Now lets be honest-has Weepu been outstanding in BOTH S15 and internationals?? Dont think so Was Pocock oustanding in both S15(which he spent injured) and internationals?? Dont think so.Same with Dusuatoir who was shocking vs NZ and ok for Tolouse.
19 Oct 2011, 11:32 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-59: Ok – you have a point – very confused about this one !
19 Oct 2011, 11:33 am
Schalk burger had a HUGE S15 and when he came bk to Boks he was HUGE in RWC. He deserves a mention
And I aint even the biggest Burger fan
19 Oct 2011, 11:34 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-60: Great players , i know , but have they been outstanding – i would agree with you on Schalk .
19 Oct 2011, 11:35 am
Bismarck and Willem unfortunately , at the moment , cannot claim a starting spot in the SA side – cant be included .
19 Oct 2011, 11:36 am
OK OK OK – the reason why Weepu is in the list is sooooooooooo obvious ….
Leads a great haka !!!!
19 Oct 2011, 11:36 am
Best Players of 2011 and who AB fans must be most proud of is Kaino and Nonu. Both have finally realised their immense talent as rugby players in addition to their obvious physical gifts.
Awesome Awesome coaching of these 2 and them applying themselves.
19 Oct 2011, 11:37 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-60: Fark, the machine gunner does it again… Shoot them down, ball of flames… Nice.
19 Oct 2011, 11:40 am
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-60: I must admonish you on leaving out Deon Fourie. He was once the undisputed “2nd best hooker in SA”.
19 Oct 2011, 11:41 am
@stew(stew)-63: every time Bismark got on the field he was outstanding! pity he was benched for Plod!
19 Oct 2011, 11:42 am
lets be honest, no Springbok deserves to be there. Kaino should get this one imo. can’t understand why Weepu is there however, as someone mentioned Digby Ioane should probably be there.
19 Oct 2011, 11:42 am
Coach of the year – ?????
Gatland – has transformed Wales from a team of hairy welshmen roaming the valleys singing to conan the barbarian look alikes
19 Oct 2011, 11:46 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-69: Agreed , i cant see how he wont get nominated next year if he keeps up his current form and STARTS .
19 Oct 2011, 11:50 am
Bismarck du Plessis eclipsed all the above … and by a long way. If Eales is around SA won’t figure.
19 Oct 2011, 12:15 pm
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-60: The answer is in the lead in to the article:
Every major Test played in 2011 has been taken into consideration, starting with the opening Six Nations match and culminating with the World Cup final.
So whether they played S15, how well they played S15 does not seem to matter. He might not be a favourite in SA but my money goes on David Pocock. The Wallabies are a different side when he is in their test side.
19 Oct 2011, 12:18 pm
Thing is… we had every expert, every man and his dingo in every foreign team and coaching staff and press and television telling us that Bissy IS the best hooker in the world the best player at the world cup and should be starting and playing for the boks and that he is totally dominant and game changing and game winning etc etc when on the park…
I’m not knocking Bissy here… or his supporters… just pointing out that if he was so universally praised and commended for his performances…
how come he ain’t on the list…???
19 Oct 2011, 12:18 pm
I have to agree with a previous comment.
Bismark is only the 2nd best hooker in SA and Alberts is only the 2nd best 8th man in SA. How can they be best in the world. Pdivvy made it clear that Smit is the best hooker in the world. Maybe he should get an honourary mention. What you think Grant?
19 Oct 2011, 12:18 pm
@out wide(out wide)-74: As mshi says the player of the year usually goes in a WC year to a player in the winning side – sorry bro , Pocock is out
19 Oct 2011, 12:20 pm
@ufo(ufo)-75: He cant command a start in his national side – easy
19 Oct 2011, 12:21 pm
@out wide(out wide)-74:
So how does that incl Weepu? who has just recently been starting 9 for Ab’s.Had an avg season barring last few games where his kicking has been his saving grace along with AB’s.
Jerome Kaino also added a whole different edge to AB pack,physicality wise he and Thorn are often the difference between parity and dominance and collisions.Plus his ball carries,lineout prowess,all round game etc
And more importantly his near perfect error rate.
He trumps Pocock anyday.
19 Oct 2011, 12:22 pm
Ref of the year goes to?
19 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm
@stew(stew)-78:
…but he is best in that position at his franchise? Does that count for something?
19 Oct 2011, 12:24 pm
Julien Bonaire has had a bigger year than Dusuatoir.
19 Oct 2011, 12:25 pm
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAh give it to McCaw again – solves all the fighting
19 Oct 2011, 12:27 pm
Funny how it rains when cricket is played at Centurion!
19 Oct 2011, 12:27 pm
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-81: I thought Smit was , the national captain ????? If his own country cant decide if he is the best , how can he even be consider for the the award of best player in the world ???
19 Oct 2011, 12:28 pm
@ufo(ufo)-75: no you’re not knowcking bissy but you’re on you usually “i was right about plod” high horse. bissy’s omission is because of the LIMITED game time he was given by PdV, it is not rocket science.
Bissy was rested in rustenburg when your plod was huffing & puffing in Aus/Nz
why is Piri Weepu in that list?
not being able to validly answer that question is clear reason enough to show you these “nominations” are bogus, you’re better off not using them as a trump card
19 Oct 2011, 12:28 pm
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-82: Didn’t he miss that fairly straightforward tackle on the touchline that let the Tongan player in for the winning try? That alone should exclude him.
19 Oct 2011, 12:29 pm
@stew(stew)-85:
He is the best in the world mate. Ask PDivvy? He said so himself. Bissie is second hand rose mate.
19 Oct 2011, 12:35 pm
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-88: Not denying that , we can all see but he cant be considered because ATM he cant start in the national side
19 Oct 2011, 12:36 pm
He is a great player and has imposed himself on the international level in this tournament. He has been described as the Welsh Brüssow or the Welsh Pocock. He is very dangerous.”
- French skipper Thierry Dusautoir complimenting Welsh skipper Sam Warburton. No mention of McCaw?
19 Oct 2011, 12:38 pm
@stew(stew)-78:
you’re missing my point bud…
that didn’t matter or stop everyone praising him and dissing Pdivvy for not picking him… so why should it matter now…?
19 Oct 2011, 12:39 pm
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-90: McCaw is being given a special award , player of the decade – cheaper that way , less certificates to print !!!! LOL
19 Oct 2011, 12:42 pm
how many TESTS has piri weepu started and FINISHED this year alone?
19 Oct 2011, 12:44 pm

@Transformation(Transformation)-93: I told you he gives a good haka – must count for somethin !
19 Oct 2011, 12:45 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-87:
Yep he did,but Dusuatoir was ripped apart vs AB’s,worst game ever seen him play.
Bonnaire aint a fav of mine,a bit of a lightweight for me-not a true bruiser for a blindside. Reminds me of Selborne Boome/Gerrie Brits-never understood hype around those dudes.
19 Oct 2011, 12:48 pm
@stew(stew)-92: lol
19 Oct 2011, 12:52 pm
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-96: Those players were very mobile and athelitic. Good in line-outs too. I agree Bonnaire is decent, nothing special but he gets through a ton of work and always puts his body on the line.
19 Oct 2011, 12:52 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-86:
hehehe… so i’ve got up your nose then have i…?
okay…
you’re so off the mark it’s funny… if anyone is on a high horse trying to prove anything it’s you…
was merely posing the question… where are all the people who universally praised bissy when it came to nominating, discussing or whatever they do to come up with these names…?
if you don’t accept my opinion or question…? tough t!tt… scroll on by…
19 Oct 2011, 12:59 pm
@ufo(ufo)-99: don’t flatter yourself.
19 Oct 2011, 12:59 pm
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-94:
Thats a rubbish team.
Tony Woodcock at LH ahead of Guthro & Healy is a joke.
Iaone had one good game vs Italy. was injured for much of group stage and did jacksh*t vs SA & NZ.
Manu Tuilagi??? Hahahahahahaha biggest joke of all.
19 Oct 2011, 13:01 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-100:
seems i don’t have to with you around to do it for me…
19 Oct 2011, 13:01 pm
@ufo(ufo)-99: i don’t need to “scroll on by” the point of the blog is to post opinions and have those opinions tested by other bloggers…
unlike you i don’t have a “hobbyhorse” topic like bissy starting that i constantly look to validate elke dag tl tl tl
19 Oct 2011, 13:04 pm
Kaino or Pocock.
19 Oct 2011, 13:12 pm
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-98:
yeah but any blindside that doesnt have hard edge in ball carrying ,collisions(ruck/clean etc) and tackle isnt really a Test blinder to me.
So much for a ton of work if you cant stop runners behind advantage line nor cant you carry ball over advantage line.
Juan SmithJerome Kaino,Shalk Burger,Willem Alberts,Shaun O’Brien,Luigizamon etc Give me these guys ahead of likes of Croft,Bonnaire,Elsom,Wood,Quadrogo etc That wiry athletic frame is average when push comes to shove.

@Transformation(Transformation)-103:
hehehe… you see transie… now you’re exaggerating to try and validate your invalid point…
where have i constantly tried to validate anything elke dag every day…? please do your famous research and show me where i have brought up this subject EVERY DAY? c’mon…? cut-n-paste a comment of mine made every day since we play aus…?
sure, in the days after our exit i chatted and gave my views.. as did everyone else…
but i moved on long ago…
wonder why you don’t comment on the anti-smit hobby horse posse who still post way more often or vociferously than i ever did about how we coulda/shoulda/woulda have won if bissy had started…??
hehehe

Nils.104. I agree.
19 Oct 2011, 13:22 pm
Piri Weepu?
Jeepers, the old farts really are losing the plot.
19 Oct 2011, 13:23 pm
Kaino or Genia.
19 Oct 2011, 13:30 pm
So how does Weepu make it ahead of say James o’ Bieber or Digby Caterpillar Man, or any particular star player from most Tier 1 teams? HeckN how does this Ricky January body double make it ahead of half the guys in his own team? SBW, Mccaw, Carter, Dagg, heck how does he make it ahead of Colin Slade?
Is this nomination list a joke?
19 Oct 2011, 13:33 pm
@stew(stew)-77: OK tx for that, I now see that from the list, in which case Kaino will have to be the man? A hard but humble bugger if ever there was one.
19 Oct 2011, 14:22 pm
@ufo(ufo)-106: do you want me to “cutnpaste” my comments to grant10 & skop after our exit?
19 Oct 2011, 14:23 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-108: hahahahaha
yeah Piri Weepu!
19 Oct 2011, 14:30 pm
Agree on the Weepu comments as well. Based on what? I think Pocock will get it. Kaino a quiet achiever and Genia also had a good year, but I suspect the value Pocock has added to the Wallabies should see him pip them.
19 Oct 2011, 14:32 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-110: I think he got in on the strength of his haka. Ali Williams should have got a nomination here for best supporting role.

Best comedy category?
19 Oct 2011, 14:41 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-116: No, I think it was in the Foreign Language category.
You know, the category where you can film in black and white, where you don’t need a plot and where you can show some minge.

@grant10(grant10)-120:
what are bond registration costs at them moment?
seriously.
19 Oct 2011, 15:06 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-122: depends on the size of the loan…
19 Oct 2011, 15:06 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-122:
It is the costs you pay for registering a bond, usually on a property.
Hope that helps?

Grant, I’d like to see your posts when P Divvy is offered another 4 year contract.
It will be something to behold.
I imagine you’ll go on a killing spree down Kloofnek with a panga?

Transie, was that you? c’mon, own up man.

@Transformation(Transformation)-132:
Modelling agencies are death traps for depressed, anorexic junkies with BIG gaps between their legs …. they are trained to carry their heroin baggies between their thighs, that’s why you can see the fat DJ in the background when you look through their legs …. had my fair share, hate the industry!

@Gunther(gunther)-143:
kakk and bataal ou Gunth, there’s no way around it.
Maybe lay off the tik for a few weeks and save up for it.
Alternatively, there’s a guy on the Greenpoint boardwalk who sells tik real cheap.
It’s diluted with clumps of Bovril and costs half the normal rate.
You don’t smoke it, you inject it straight into the retina for an immediate hit!
Apparently, the kick is the same, but it is high in polyunsaturated fats…
19 Oct 2011, 15:35 pm

your fair share of depressed, anorexic junkies with BIG gaps between their legs?

19 Oct 2011, 17:25 pm
@Helen(Helen)-151: It’s hangin’ babes.
No was just asking. Quite a few of bloggers here either were/or in finance in some respect.
Thanks for the offer of help, but I’m beyond help I think
