There've been many posts about the 'best' OPS team on this site, and once again, there is no denying that RHODES WERE THE BEST ... I was just checking out the newsletters that Mike posted on the Main page, and what do you see in Jan and Feb '76 ... Rhodes ... Rhodes ... Rhodes ... always in front :tifo1:
Damn! I knew I should'nt have put them up....... :buffo9: blerrie Rhodes Schmodes.....
You see Mike, you weren't even able to find a green tongue ... it's RED all the way ... numberone
You have now challanged me to find one know...give me a few days....
That was the problem with Barnato ... you guys always 'needed time' ... no wonder you were miles behind laughpoint
You tell him Patricia.......
Oh when the REDS
Oh when the REDS
Oh when the REDS come marching in
lalalalalalalalala
COME ON RHODES!!!
:tifo1: :tifo1: :tifo1:
What? I have yet to meet a red Leprechaun....
jock met a "pink elephant" already!!!!!
Chris, Joclk is doing awesome/....... after being pissed and breaking his ankle in two places in the process...I disowned him....since that fatefull day in january....he has only had 5 beers...and four of them were "special" beers..Tennents Lager, brought to him by the Benton Boys from Scotland....
@ Mike.........you wing your way to this side of the world and I garauntee you'll see every colour leprchaun known to man - it's only the marketing people that have leprechauns down as green...along the same lines as marketing the Emerald Isle under the 'forty shades of green' blanket...........
regards to jock and keep up the good stay off alcohol ,consume in moderation is ok, excessive use bad for body and other people around you, you know what i mean.
There goes my Patricia... :tifo1: dawoman
rhodes,rhodes ,rhodes,rhona when you break your name down,R H O N A,can be a combo of rhodes and namibia---rhodes/namibia=rhona,go girl,take care pet xx
Ok Mike, looks like you need some Barnato backup. Can't help they dressed the cheerleader funny, so ok, I'll take it if you laugh at the outfit, but we were still the best - Barnato!
Berie, you shouldn't be showing hese pics. It's jus making things worse for you....
:emot19:
Ja,Ja, Ich weiss. Prepared to throw my name away for the team!
bertie,i take it you were chief cheerleader,you look grand in your outfit,you must of been very good as far as accademic studies were concered,in my case ,i was a numb nut who used to be a good runner,there for the compillation of the good folks of om will allways come to the fore,keep up the good work bertie
@ Bobby - You're too kind, calling the outfit "grand". Thanx for not laughing! If I remember correctly we were quite a few cheerleaders who took turns that year, for we all took part in some events on the field as well. Myself not a great runner, that was left to speedsters like Mickey Steyn (Oppenheimer), Charl van Wyk (Barnato), and John Smith (Rhodes) who battled it out if I'm correct. I took part in high- and long jump. I might have been part of the cheerleader squad because of my "music". I received colors for "kultureel", not sport so much. I think you're too hard on yourself - you're quite a legend!
@ Bobby - guess my secret is out e154

Nobody can look good in Barnato or Oppenheimer clothing. NEVER!
I'm sure Rhona will agree.
I agree Georg ... no one could look as HOT as Rhodes ... numberone
It's Georg against Bobby. Go ahead, laugh, We at Barnato can take it.
Patricia as well !!! You're ganging up on me very early!
That's right Bertie. Barnato has decades of practise when it comes to waiting :emot19:
Waiting at the winning post for Rhodes to arrive?
More like waiting for your hour of glory to come ... iknow
Ok Patricia, you win this round. I have to get ready for work. Will check in later to take the next punch!~ thumper
Have a great day, all! And good luck with your exam, Carl!

@Snr. Great video. I remember those straw hats we used to wear.
What a fantastic clip - thanks a million for that, and the music..........OMG! absolutely amazing e154
:sorriso2: okay so there was some bias towards the red house but I did see blue shirts that didn't fall over.
fantastic library of documented everything you have daddy georg, thank you
isn't it interesting to consider that this type of home generated documentation is now illegal and prohibited at most schools.
what a shame......
Rhona, do you notice how some people fantasize?
here are people on he board that are seeing green and blue shirts...
:emot19: :emot19: :emot19: :emot19: :emot19:
And don't forget blue dresses jnr.
I only saw RED all the way......... :tifo1: :tifo1: :tifo1:
You sure they werent blue?
And not green either........
Have we reached a decision yet on what colour dress jnr's mom was wearing?
Blue...
OKAY; OKAY; OKAY!!!
It was stained. Eh!
No!
It's just this part of the movie only show a negative.
Eh!
Are you sure you recognise my mom???
:emot19: Sorry Jnr - myself and Carl are still arguing colours from a different posting......

Quote from: Rhona on June 03, 2008, 07:40:19 PM

Lets be fair
i belonged to the red, its stand to reason more of that in the film
The poor blue and green had no chance against red......
Turquoise.............no way! and it's not Kingfisher either
Nobody ever had a chance against the reds

How was your braai yesterday? European meat is nowhere as good as SA meat, or what would you say?
I have to say the meat we got was just as good as SA. We get our meat from a contact that supplies to all the hotels and restaurants around here. So, I guess it depends on who one gets there meat from.
And we got sun again today!!
swim BierSuip
good to hear you enjoyed your braai paula,we also have lovely sunshine in the north east today,where are you liveing in the uk?
we live in Desborough near kettering, Northants
Where abouts are you?
i live in the north east of england,in county durham,nearest city is durham.i live in a town called newton aycliffe but we are moving to a small village 4 miles away,called shildon.i also agree paula,the meat here in the uk is top quality,are you working in the uk/?
I'm still looking, but giving myself two months to get one. Still enjoying the newness of everything around me.
When do you move?
hopefully in a couple of weeks,we encountered a major problem with the sale,the house we are buying,the owner,an old lady passed away so her estate has to go to probate before we can complete the deal,just waiting for the lawyers to do their bit
Oh cr-p, that might take awhile won't it, working in the bank in SA it always took ages for a "Late Estate" and for everyone to get their ducks in a row.
Hopfully it won't take too long, but you know lawyers..eeek!!!
I'll hold thumbs for you that it gets sorted soon.
cheers
Go Rhodes Go
Hi Susan, long time no see. 15_3_27
Been a busy bee (karneval,pfadfinders,work,etc) but hopefully will be more active. cat3
Don't want to rub it in, but here's RHODES with yet another trophy ... Stephanie Griffith-Richards, Katia Lotte (my sister) and ????
That's just fine Patricia. It's only your pride. something the others do not have. hihihi
