the one boer caught a troop of pommies in the river cooling their asses.He removed their rifle bolts, shot 7 of them dead and made the others take their dead with them to the Boer commandant.There he told the commandant that the president had said that every Boer must shoot 7 khaki's to win the war. He told the commandant that his seven was shot and promptly got on his horse and went back to his farm. Any how check out Danie Theron you.dumb English twits. Yep you saw your asses BIG TIME!!!

Are you serious? :p

[bettythebutcher]

if you listen to the voiceover, they say it's staged....it's a reenactment.

[caldair]

I somehow feel this is staged. Or else the cameraman could have been nice enough to, y'know, tell the guy about the guys creeping about in the bushes, twitching their moustaches.
