A nice turn of phrase--
I was chatting to a white guy up in winterton, near the battlefields. I told him I had wandered into the rough bar at the end of town.
He was aghast,
the Zulus man, you were lucky to get out with more then your underpants. Them blokes will rob everything you got, and a lot of things you didn't know you got
Which I thought was a nice turn of phrase

They took to me as soon as I told them I have a laager mentality.
Just came in from the verandah , watching a dozen whales go by in line astern. This is St Helena bay in the Western Cape, we got the best place in town for 90£ a night.
Flock after flock of cormorants? Go sweeping across the bay, uncountable thousands, then turn and come back again, skimming the wave tops
Beer is a pound a pint and ver ver strong. Mrs eo is on the cherry chock wine and strawberry gateaux, tonight I will have cheese and pickles on kips.
Which are like ritz biscuits, but flavoured with bacon

I'm in South Africa, and they don't have BBQ, they have a Brie.
All very good so far. But I've had a load of ale and I'll probably burn the place down.
I know they don't have smoke detectors, not after what I did to the toast this am.
Anyways , the pound is flying high, so it's a quid for a pint of strong ale, petrol is almost free and I'm thinking of buying Cape Town, if only I can find the change in my coat pocket.
Go to Sun city and see the slot machine gambling floor, will put you off gambling for life.
