Here’s an email that I just sent to the 24 players that are still alive in the Last Man Standing competition over on JustRugby.net.
Hi all
You’re receiving this email because, as of round 13, you are still alive in our Last Man Standing competition. Only one more round to go and we’ll be into the tie-breaker phase of the competition, since I’m sure that more than one of you will make it through.
Congratulations, firstly, on making it this far. Hell, I didn’t even make it past round 4 this time!
Here’s what we’re going to do. Assuming there is more than one person left standing after next week, we’ll (unfortunately) have to eliminate all those who have used up a lifeline. Once we’ve done that, we’re going to look at Sharksworld contributions over the course of the Currie Cup season.
Now, to make it interesting and to give everybody a little extra incentive, we’re going to delay the naming of the winner until after the Currie Cup final. That means there are still three weeks or so to go and any comments(*) you post on Sharksworld within that time will count towards your total. The ultimate criterion will be the total number of comments posted starting the day the Currie Cup kicked off until the day of the final. I will circulate the final numbers just so that everybody can see for themselves how we decided.
The prize, as I’m sure you know, is a supporters jersey of your choice – the total value of the jersey and any shipping charges will not exceed R900.
Now, you noticed a little * above… there are two provisos here. The first proviso is that you need to make reasonable comments in order for them to count. As you’ll know from Sharksworld, we don’t require every comment to be strictly on topic and we do encourage banter, but trust me, we will notice if you start posting absolute nonsense just to get your comment count up and we reserve the right to disqualify you on those grounds.
The second proviso, of course, is that you need to comply with our rules when posting.
Thanks for playing, congratulations on getting this far and best of luck for the final challenge.
See you on the site.
Cheers
Rob

If I’d known this from the start I would have taken some english spelling lessons for thats the only thing keeping me from commenting…damn 😉
@Volstruis (Comment 1) : welkom 🙂
We have any number of posters whose Engrish is dodgy at best. Don’t let it hold you back.
If it went on posting alone, I sure as hell would have been the winner!! 😉
@Volstruis (Comment 1) :
You should se Piet teh Blou Bul…you have nothing to worry about!!
(And yours truly also falls in your category! )
@robdylan (Comment 2) :
See and even Rob who is a almost-pom cannot spell English right!! 😈
I bet he’s gonna change that now.. 🙄 😛
@GI Ice (Comment 5) : I did it on purpose, dufus! 🙂
@Volstruis (Comment 1) :
Hey You should see some of the spelling and grammar on here and that is from people who ARE english. 😆
@robdylan (Comment 6) :
I know, popehol!
@GI Ice (Comment 5) :
Seeing as we are on the subject………….. should that maybe be “AN almost-pom” 😛
And I’M a DUTCHMAN!!!!!!!!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) :
KSA!! Jislaaik – long time!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 9) :
@GI Ice (Comment 10) :
Work is fun but the no PVT internet policy sucks a LOT. 🙁
And still having the internet problem at home isn’t helping my afterhours access either. :grrrr:
hey, what’s all this “almost pom” nonsense?
@robdylan (Comment 13) :
POM not PORN…
@GI Ice (Comment 14) :
😳 it IS a “m” and not a “rn” 😳
Are you now one for real?? 😯
@GI Ice (Comment 14) :
Trust the site’s blonde to think PORN instead of POM. 😆 😆
Rob didn’t say PORN, he said POM.
@GI Ice (Comment 15) : you need a bigger spade? 🙂
@GI Ice (Comment 14) :
On that note. Did anyone read the interview in Rapport with SA’s (well where else would you find any actually)first Afrikaans Porn Stars? 😆
@KSA Shark © (Comment 18) : Joost?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 18) :
LOL Yes…we actually had a discusion on that the other day! 😆
Best is – they dont want to reveal their real names – but their picture is big and clear in one of SA biggest papers!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 16) : @robdylan (Comment 17) :
Hey – that was AN honest mistake! Check it out and read it.. 😆
@McLovin (Comment 19) :
Hehehhehehehehehehe
She wants to be called Pamela and I am not sure what his name was.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 18) : HEY????
@McLovin (Comment 19) :
Apparently this guy had no holes in his underpants. COULDN’T have been Joost. 😛
@McLovin (Comment 19) :
Die KN volume 1…onthou?
@robdylan (Comment 17) :
om my eie graf te grawe?? 😉
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 22) :
One of the questions asked of them was along the lines of: Well there is no dialogue anyway so why is being Afrikaans important. 😆
With the really cheesy music that Porn is renowned for I wonder if they will be playing Sakkie Sakkie or Steve Hofmeyer as backing music?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 21) :
Pamela de Kok and Marc van der Gryp..original.. 🙄 😆
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 22) :
Raai waar is ek die naweek!! 😈
Back to work for me.

@GI Ice (Comment 32) : I did not.
Is jy in die kaap die naweek?
@GI Ice (Comment 32) : dit was awesome, altyd lekke om nie te werk nie, ons speel op kcc,ons speel woensdag weer want ek gaan donerdag bietjie durbs toe vir die naweek
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 33) :
Flying down on Thursday! 2 nights at or close to (I think) one of your fave spots (up the coast)and then one night in Blouberg..wanted to organise a get-together for a game at Newlands, but no-one to watch for me.. 😆
@willa (Comment 34) :
Ek ga Kaap toe!! so We!!!
Ek love daai baan, maar so ook RCC..is hul nog besig met die verandering van die greens en nuwe gaatjies? (was ‘n jaar laas daar)
Hell if I’d known you guys were such lekker people I would have gooi’d with the boodskappe from the start but its a bit to late letting the dogs loose now!!! I was waiting for the curveball when I saw 13 people still with lifelines and only 2 rounds left.
@GI Ice (Comment 35) : Nice,dunno what kinda weather you going to get but on the Weskus it really doesnt matter.
Just go to Newlands and look at the stadium 🙂
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 38) :
Well, my hubby is dragging me of on a escape weekend, so I guess he does not mind what the weither will be like either!
Funny thing with the WC – camped at Tieties before, sat in the mist and rain drinking OBS…drove to Langebaan and it was a really “Tan catching: day! LOL
@GI Ice (Comment 36) : ja maar die oues(wat oor gedoen is) lyk al baie mooi, rcc is ook lekker maar te duur vir daai quality,
ek was twee naweke terug in n exclusive lodge in botswana gewees, laas week ook n soortvan lang naweek gehad(golf op vrydag) en nou weer van donerdag af……weeee 😈
al hoe wel ek nog nooit in die kaap was nie 😥
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 38) :
i am sure I will see it, my sister in Law does not stay too far from there…
Would not have minded to go – have never been to Newlands!
@Volstruis (Comment 37) : it’s not too late, hey 🙂 You never know
@GI Ice (Comment 39) : Lucky girl.TBay is a place I never get tired of,theres a certain magic there.
@GI Ice (Comment 41) : Newlands is an awesome experience, I dont care who says what.Ok we don’t have the cool B field braai setup the Sharks do but its a fun freaging trip.
@willa (Comment 40) :
Genuine??
RCC – op die een par4 stroke 1 gat het ek my mooiste hou gespeel – vir twee op die green gele, moes net input, toe die weerlig sirenes afgaan, ek dog toe bogger dit , die een gaan ek klaar maak – toe slaan die weelig net mooi op die green…needless to say, my bal le nog daar in gees en my birdie in sy kanon in!! Het gehol vir ‘n shelter dat dit wit sit! LOL
@KSA Shark © (Comment 21) : Disselboom van potchefstroom.
@GI Ice (Comment 24) : Hoe kan ek vergeet.
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 43) :
Yip…different world..perlemoen, icecold beer, crayfish, more wine! LOL
I wil do the Newlands thing one day!
@GI Ice (Comment 26) : De Kok for a girl? What kind of movie is this? 😆
@McLovin (Comment 48) :
hopefully a teazers one…no gender testing needed..:mrgreen:
Pomp Pieterse?
@GI Ice (Comment 49) :
@GI Ice (Comment 44) : 😆 lyk my dis hoe dit werk, my eerste eagle het ook nie getel oor weerlig nie,maar ek haat daai par5 net voor die watergat,dink nie ekt hom al ooit ge- par nie 😥
@Volstruis (Comment 37) :
The CC LMS was always going to be pretty easy because of not being strength v strength.
The S14 was a lot closer to call and some strategies worked up until the last round. 😆 Sign in for the 2010 S14 it promises to be JUST as exciting. 😉
@willa (Comment 52) :
Die naaste wat ek nog aan ‘n eagle gekom het was in die dieretuin!
Ek nog altyd redelike decent (vir my) rondtes gespeel op RCC…KCC begin goed maar na so paar biere by die halway house dan begin ek met Happy Gilmore tricks! 😆
@GI Ice (Comment 39) :
An escape weekend? Are you sure he said he was taking you with? 😛
@KSA Shark © (Comment 53) :
Ek dog jy werk?? 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 55) :
Funny bunny!!
Or perhaps sending me on my own??
@GI Ice (Comment 56) :

Just so BTW…ROB, I still have not recieved MY e-mail regarding the Last Man Standing.. 🙄 😆
@GI Ice (Comment 57) :
@GI Ice (Comment 54) : on average drink ek omtrent 12 – 15 klippies per 18, geen wonder my golf gaan nerens heen 😆 en geen wonder eks altyd inie k*k as ek by die huis kom
@GI Ice (Comment 59) :
Neither did I 🙁 I woulda hoped I got an honourary one for being the first to fall out this time around. 🙄
I am fooked. I am stuck in jozi with no net acess and a wobbly phone. 🙂
@GI Ice (Comment 59) : it’s either cos you’re not a man, or you’re not standing… 🙂
@willa (Comment 61) :
Oe jinne nee
as ek Klippies moet drin en nog twaalf + sal niemand met my kan huishou nie!! En ek is seker ek sal ook in die “pekel” wees! 😆
Nieteenstaande geniet ek my golf! 😆
@KSA Shark © (Comment 62) :
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 63) :

@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 63) : Sucks to be you
@ KSA Shark (comment 53)
Will do…only thing that bothers me is that I’m kinda getting hooked on all these games! Well winners know when to stop hey!!!
@robdylan (Comment 64) :
RU discriminating?? 😆
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 63) : you should leave! 🙂
@Volstruis (Comment 67) :
Precisely…that’s why I give everyone else a chance now…it can be lonely at the top..
and I am scared that they get a low slf esteem… 😉
@GI Ice (Comment 70) :
BTW…I dropped a spot in the SB…I need to FOCUS!!! 👿
@GI Ice (Comment 68) : yes! I’m discriminating against all the people who picked a losing team twice
@GI Ice (Comment 70) :I suppose banter chatting helps with the lonlyness of being on top..of your game 😉
@Volstruis (Comment 73) :
It works like a CHARM!!
@robdylan (Comment 72) :
You’ll have to answer for that one day… 😆

@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 75) :

Hanging with my lady and her family and playing frisbee champs
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 77) : ultimate? What a superb sport. Only played it once and I sucked, but I really enjoyed it.
@robdylan (Comment 78) :
Sounds like me and hockey…my first effort I got warned bye the ref for dangerous play and that if I want to hit with the stick like I am playing golf that I will be chased off…I got chased of after about 10 mins.. 🙄
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 77) :
Genuine?? Did not know that was a “sport” per se… ❓
Yea, its awesome been playing for about 8 years. been playing all weekend and we won nationals. So super stoked. But the bodies broken.
@GI Ice (Comment 79) : its big in the us and canda. But still in its infancy in sa
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 81) :
Ohhhhh..is it like an indoor beach thing …or do you bring your own dog to catch..
Just Kidding!!

@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 81) :
Okay – I read a little ’bout it…no wonder Rob sucked at it… 😈 😆
Su : spousal unit
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 84) :
Thats a new one! LOL
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 80) : nice work!
@GI Ice (Comment 83) : that’s just unkind. Sulk
@robdylan (Comment 87) :
Face it, Robs – Just as I will never be build to be a Goalshooter in Netball, you are also just not built for that kind of sport…its not being unkind, its reality… 😉
@robdylan (Comment 72) :
And the idiots who forgot to pick twice. 🙁
😛
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 80) :
A mate of mine who was here a few years ago (now living in Thailand) was super into his ultimate frisbee.
I have never actually seen it played. Lemme do a search on youtube and have a look.
@GI Ice (Comment 88) : hey now… why not? Too short?
@Worcestershire Sauce (Comment 80) :
WAY TO GO DUDE!!!!!!!!!
Missed that until I saw Rob’s comment. 😳
@robdylan (Comment 91) :

Okay Rob – just kidding, we’ll go for short… 😉
@GI Ice (Comment 93) : I’m not fat anymore, chick… been working bloody hard over the last 6 weeks!
