Reply to: A little bit of brie

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 never knew that were so many Saffas on CUK. Julle is almal 'n klomp naaiers!

En jij ook!

Ik spreek echte nederlands niet keuken nederlands

Try saying "jou ma se Poes" to the first person you see in the morning. It's a friendly greeting, particularly in Cape Town.

Yes, they'll be flattered you're trying to learn Afrikaans. It's their equivalent of "your Aunt's pen".

[TykeMerc]

Or you could just ask "is Afrikaans just Dutch with a funny accent?", see how far that gets ya

Or call it "Kitchen Dutch", I was told by a lad from the Transvaal that it annoyed some folks

Is dit hoe jy met a dame praat? Skaam vir jou!

ROTFL

@Scruff

LOL - you probably need to re-write that "greeting" phonetically, otherwise it just won't have the same effect!

Not cheese you fool. A fire.
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.

Eat fish, its normally wonderful over there. Springbok Carpaccio is also awesome.

Go to Sun city and see the slot machine gambling floor, will put you off gambling for life.

This is you Scruff, especially as the actor Harry Peacock I think is from Leeds, in my ope, does a decent Saffa accent, you dick-licking sack of Bokke tulip!

I'm sure that is funny if you're "down wiv da kids" in some way, but I found it less amusing than ironing my shirts for work and less stimulating than boiling the kettle. It's total shash, deeply dull and impressively bollocks.

Glad you're enjoying SA EO, was hoping to go this summer, but plans didn't work out.

Have you been hanging around with MF these days?
