My abode for most of my life. My little workshop on the east coast of SA

Perfect sunny Sunday on the east coast of South Africa. Autumn is in the air, and the mornings are cooling, but the sky is an intense blue. Taking the sprogs to the beach. :-)

Lol I can think of more dignified ways to die! A sucking chest wound is natures way of saying 'slow down'

hahaha sounds like its your own back yard where it is made. I don't know why we call them robots, but we also call them traffic lights as well. But we don't know why you guys 'back up' when the rest of the world simply 'reverses'. And why you fill up with gas when it is a liquid. ;-) Life would...

no idea, never seen it. Must be a tourist thing or from a neighboring country perhaps?

if I came to the US, I would demand that people call me 'Supreme Leader and Conqueror, praise be unto him' :D I am of the opinion that if you move to a country, and you become a citizen there, that is your identity. Your roots shape you, but that is not who you are. It pisses me off. But...

Dave, I think that Americans need to know that SA has its problems but we don't want to be treated as a basket case like the rest of Africa can be. The day I see aid streaming in here I'll be gone. Americans always enjoy being here, and we like having them because they are by nature social...

mainstream lagers are Castle, Amstel, Black Label, Windhoek and a few others. They are Ok! There are some others which are really good but I'm a fan of beer on tap, bitters like Bosuns and Forresters, love that stuff.

Because we thought they resembled Romney after he had his ass handed to him again in another debate.

Nope. She hangs with you guys these days :) There are 12 million people in Gauteng province where she hails from. p.s. still working on killing off those Vuvuzela players, but they may have gotten wind of it, as the cacophony has fallen quiet

Sadly I do not have a pet monkey. Most people just spank one from time to time. I can, however testify to the fact that I have been bitten by one, after many shots of Stroh rum with a traffic officer. But that is another story. Now seriously, racism. Obviously, the very nature of apartheid was...

Inspired by Dave's request. You guys normally hear a lot about it in the news, mostly negative, some of it true, some of it not entirely accurate. It's a great place, beset by a host of problems, but still a place any traveller will just have to visit! So come at me :)

Yup, there are lots of bad things that happen here. It's particularly rough at the moment socially and politically, but SA is still awesome. Perhaps I should start a thread about it rather than get too verbose here. Die Antwoord actually has a huge offshore following, much bigger than our local...

Since we are not at war we did send 'Die Antwoord' to maintain our tradition of foul language through music to other nations

I also served over here, so I can also do it in three languages. Being able to swear at somebody in their own Language is the best way to bond across cultures :-)

Hahaha I'm still a comparative newb so treading carefully Dave! I own and operate a workshop, so the word fuck is verb, noun, consonant etc

Hiya! Sorry :0 it's a Facebook group called 'I F***ing Love Science' there is a lot of awesome stuff from there. Some of it awesome factual stuff , some of it funny, some of it controversial, but always interesting.

Stolen from IFLS on Facebook :-)
