[Hartman]

Looking forward to seeing my tjommie Hennie Roodt in action for the Griquas. Met him a few times while he was over here playing for Gordon, great guy. I agree with your picks despite being a WP fan, but wouldn't be shocked if they won. Cheetahs WP and Griquas Sharks should be great games.

EDIT: Hoekom you call the Cheetahs "Tin Ears", never heard that name before.

Dis hulle naam van die ou dae, BlikOre. Het dit gekry omdat hulle altyd blomkool ore het agv hulle voorrye so oor die jare.

 

[Hartman]

dis baie interessant... maar hoekom "blik"? ek het my pa gevra van die "tin ears" en hy het nie geweet nie... ek het op google gesoek (besoek?) en ek het hierdie boodskap gevind: http://boards.ancestry.ca/surnames.venter/8.10/mb.ashx - dis nie reg nie?

eks jammer, my afrikaans is ongelooflike sleg.... "boodskap" was die beste word ek kan skryf omdat ek het begin afrikaans leer in 2009. en ek weet my grammar is ook sleg. haha.

OK Boetie, surely my red tale is worse then your afrikaans, so I'll stick with the english to accomodate the board's posters. Glad we have some senseble mods here that do understand our need to talk a bit of boertaal every now and then.

Back to Tin Ears then. In our kiddie days one of the best sweets you'd get is this small tins of condense milk, the 250 ml one, dunno if you get them in Aus. We use to make small openings at the top , one left the other right and then we suck it out. I learned my kids the same trick and funnily they love it. Also learn them the trade to eat sliced biltong on bread with margarine , also loving it. Anyway when you trap this empty condense milk tin , you get the same effect as a cauliflower ear, looking the same as the fatties and lock ears. Thats where the name tin ear come from for the Vrystaters or Cheetahs. Myself have attended a few games in Os(Bloem)fontein and their die hard supporters will tie two empty condense milk tins with a rope around their head as their trade mark supporting their team like we have on Loftus with the Brute lot and their horns.

Dont think you'll find this on google because you dont have internet in Osfontein. (only joking Boetie). Feel free to ask any question and I am really glad to find some young SA Expats around the globe and give them a bit of back on their motherland.

My oldest lived for a year in Wimbledon and strangely came back with a total different view about SA, totally, now appreciating small details he wouldnt if he had stayed here. In my day we went to the army to change from a boy to a man , these days sending the kids over the water doing the same trick for them.

WP will struggle without their star players at the start and even if they were included in Osfontein , never easy. The Tin Ears are also in great form at the moment. Just hoping Lionel Cronje get some game time and hope to see our youngsters get up in this one. The two youth teams battles will also be good games. WP & FreeState have now produce some gems over the last couple of years and some awesome talent on display in this two youth teams.

Will be a hard game for the Sharks at the Groot Gat, that Biltongboer (Griquas) backline is packed with stars and never easy for the Guppies in Kimberley.

Unfortunately Condensed Milk is not popular in Australia, but I can still remember what it tastes like from when I was a little oke, I remember one time on Halloween I went trick or treating and one tannie didn't have any sweets, so she gave us a can of condensed milk... best day of my life.

Whether your new story is true or not I don't know, but I love hearing stories like this from the ou dae, can't even describe how it makes me feel connecting with my roots like this.

Still very popular in SA and you'll find it in every shop. For the kiddies treat they make this toothpaste like holders for the kiddies and call it "Dirkie".

Googled it, look like this

 

[PaarlBok]

and the condensed milk tins look like this

 

[Blue]

Where I went to boarding school in the far Northern Transvaal, those cans were used as hard currency in the dormitories. You could buy yourself out of being beaten up by a big Dutchman senior with one or two of those. One can and a packet of sliced biltong or box of Romany Creams biscuits could save your skin. It was not for the faint hearted. I still have nightmares from a couplfe of incidents and literally carry a couple of scars. My problem was I couldn't keep my mouth shut ;-)

Cyclo, you expect too much from Babelfish.

 

[Ruggo]

Condensed milk is still fairly popular up north. It goes well in the emergency cyclone kit. It is also bloody handy to make a coffee in the boat. My old man used to talk of eating it like you PB. He grew up in Brisbane and South West QLD.

:lmao: those days, the kids still cant understand when I rip out a tin of cowboy kos (beans and tomato sauce or break beans)/vienna sauces/bully beef open it and eat the whole tin with a teaspoon or a tin of peaches, pears. We use to call that we are going to eat out tonite,......................................... out of the tin.

Dont forgot the "Kwarras" , or beskuit or Rusks. The old lady is dead now for a few years but really see could bake them, karramelk, anys, boere rusks.

No need for sugar and thats the main reason for it use. We also made caramel from them , use to cook it in a steam pot in the old days and use the caramel over chocolate cake. Nowadays you buy the caramel tins

Nothing like Ouma se keringmelk beskuit. And ja those cans are exactly what I was thinking of. Nestle also make it in a toothpaste tube type thing: http://www.woolworths.co.nz/ImageServer/product_images/big/9300605003071.jpg
