Looking at the past few weeks, or is it years?…it does not take a genius to figure out the obvious…the complete wrong person is holding the purse at the Sharks.
Now, it’s also common knowledge that women are the best shoppers, why in the hell do they then still employ a man in this department store???
Let’s take a look at a few shopping pointers:
- If it’s “too good to be true”…it normally IS.
- A “bargain” hardly ever lasts long…inferior quality or nobody wanting the item is normally what the resulted in “a bargain”
- Goedkoop koop is duurkoop – but, and it’s a BIG BUT…an expensive price tag does not necessarily means its quality
- Be VERY careful of secondhand dealers
Let’s take a look at a few examples:
If you buy a secondhand Michalak Maseratti….chances are good that the first owners drove the living daylights out of it…it’s plain simple common sense…NOT?
A fairly newish Hernandez Hyundai might leave you with serious engine problems, and no official spare parts available…..stuffed! End of story.
If the Name says Goode, it might be potentially bad. I mean a Hoover does not always suck, does it?
A good principle when shopping might be to be proudly South African and buy local, but that might also limit your selection – so if you want to be a professional shopper – keep ALL options open:
Lamborghini Lambie would be on my shopping list or in this case I’ll make absolutely sure he stays in my garage – right at the BACK in fact. Dodge Viper Daniel is not only a looker and a powerful machine, but I am sure will leave you with many miles of driving pleasure.
Bad price negotiations might let you leave the shop empty handed – then you miss out on a Butch Benz, the car of the world for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 (Citroen Centre -by the dealers own claims – not mine). You might also stand to lose a few power machines from your garage…a possible John Deere Smit for instance.
After-shopping care is of the utmost importance. You do NOT through a minx coat in a washing machine, now do you?? Or let your price possession be driven for hours on end without a wash and service. On the other hand – if you have made a mistake with a little shopping item, you can dispose of them or pawn them…like a Rory Fiat Uno, Strauss Smart car, a Monty Mazda (they are exactly like a Ford anyway).
I trust that this little extract from my best-seller, might get you to add a few pointers of your own and maybe some good examples of what might be worth shopping for or what might get disposed of. I am very close to the perfect shopper, but one learn something new everyday.

Very creative
Rory Fiat Uno, not so sure about that one. Although I wouldve held on to my Frans ‘Subaru’ Steyn, always good on any terrain.
No you don’t throw a mink coat in the washing machine. It is preferable to leave the coats on the mink’s themselves.
Beale try!

@robdylan (Comment 6) :
I am?? 😯 😆
You are. This is an awesome piece. I wonder if Dolf has seen it.
@robdylan (Comment 8) :
Twitter him!
@JarsonX (Comment 1) :
Well he does think he is numero uno…and he likes to do things like he’s the only ONE! 😎
@robdylan (Comment 8) :
and thank you! 😆
Somehow I don’t see dolf as the tweeting kind. Hey, but guess who is… Luke Watson!
Rocket has more BMT in his little finger than the rest of the Sharks team combined. I can forgive a lot of his other sins to make up for that
@robdylan (Comment 12) :
Twatting perhaps..
OMG – what does he have to tweet about?? 🙄
@robdylan (Comment 13) :
I agree…I have said this before..I dont think he is a bad player at all…in fact – I think he is rather good..
@Ice (Comment 14) : seems to be sucking up to all the Bok players he alienated last year
Jislaaik drol…ek’s BEINDRUK!! 😎
Lamborghini Lambie would be on my shopping list or in this case I’ll make absolutely sure he stays in my garage – right at the BACK in fact.
Are you still talking about player aqcuisitions? 😉
@klempie (Comment 18) :
field position… 🙂
Well done Ice!!
Ek het jou geleer hoor?? 😈
😳
‘Goed’ geleer… 🙄
@wpw (Comment 21) : the mecahnic knowledge you learnt from Jannewarie?? 😆
Klampie, when are you ever going to learn that until you start treating women with respect, you are destined to stay single forever!
@robdylan (Comment 23) : You say that as if it’s a bad thing… 😐
Palm hair isn’t everyone’s taste
Gee great post you really have a mind for those shopping Rugby guys maybe we should ask you to do the shopping in the Sharks tank gee just great how those words fit in
If something in the store does not sell you get rid of it, so let’s get rid of Straueli.
‘palm hair’
@Tiger (Comment 27) : thats good talking GO ICE get rid og him
@chaz (Comment 26) :
Thanks Chaz…but I think I might get distracted and forget to look at the engines, how long they might last and if they are actually powerful…I like a good looking car!! 😆
I disagree Michalak was a bad buy. Sure he didnt compete much in the super 14, but he was an integral member of the sharks side that won their first trophy since 1996. He also made THAT ankle tap on Habana that preserved a sharks lead in the 2008 CC final. He came, he saw, he conquered, he ran away. Still, the sharks got bang for their buck which is more than can be said for any of the other imports
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 31) :
Never said he was a bad buy per se….just meant he did not last very long, injury wise etc…I am rather a fan of Freddy…but sitting on the sideline does not help your team a hell of a lot, now does it?? 😉
