GO ON. TREAT YOURSELF.

(It won't hurt you.)

Hmmmmm...

THERE AND BACK AGAIN..

I walk past this road sign to and from work. It tickles me daily.

It must have tickled someone else too - because this morning there was nothing but a wall and some old glue in it's place...

Shame on you. Aikona.

SNAKEBITE?

It took me years to stop leaping out of my skin when I saw a twig on the pavement in the UK.

(Thinking it was a snake).

How many Poms know what to do with a snakebite*, eh? (By snakebite I don't mean the cider/lager combo treat.)

Snake BBQ anyone?
(*BTW the method to ensure the snake is dead is usually to remove the head... Cucumber sarnie anyone? In lieu of BBQ..?)

DRIVER DIES

"Driver dies in another Cape taxi shooting"

I know I'm going on about guns a bit this week - but how normal does this news article make murder seem?

I don't miss this.

If this happened four times in one week in the UK, everyone would batton down their hatches and not leave the house!

Dis nie te lekker nie.

FEAR

Robbing people at Gunpoint is not a new concept for South Africans. I hope the fist of fear doesn't grip the UK. (See: Daily Mail/Channel 4 News/Metro for today's dose of emotive propaganda).

At the same time, I hope that this increasing phenomenon isn't ignored by the nation until it affects their neighbourhoods.

Stamp Gun Crime out NOW!

VIEW. BEAUTIFUL.

My favourite view of Bath Abbey....

YA BEAUTY!

I know, I know... some blogs are more technical than others. (And this one really isn't!)

My minor triumph today was to get my Samsung E800 (It was a freeeeee upgrade*) to talk to my PC without procuring a data cable for £25*.

Noice. Lekker. En Mooi.

(*Times are hard.)

I HATE GUNS

I detest guns. There is nothing I hate more.

Last week, in my old stomping ground of Pinetown, two Pinetown Boys' High pupils were shot on a school bus by a lad showing them his gun.

Eeejit.

Throw all of the guns into the sea.

Bluksumde doose.

NICE ONE LFC

Should have gone to Ladbrokes.

Lekker.

FA CUP TIME

Brilliant. It's the FA CUP final tomorrow.

Up the 'poooooooool!

Julle kan dit doen.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

You'll Never Walk Alone

Half my life without you now. Miss you Pa.

Dis die waarheid.

ITCHY FEET 2

Went to the beautiful coast of Northern Ireland at the weekend. One more point to me.







Lekker.

IT'S RIDICULOUS!

You've got to hand it to the whinging poms. "It's Ridiculous" is one of the most overused statements I've heard lately. It's usually followed by something like "It's Disgusting!"

Usually the things being referred to as "disgusting" or "ridiculous" are: Waiting for a bus, rush hour, logging into a PC, queuing for food at the pub... ad nauseam. War, Famine, Violence and Poverty are disgusting. Morris Dancing is ridiculous.

Some of the examples above are, at worst... mildly irritating. I don't think the emotive press help much, either.

Hulle laat my lag, ne.
