Congrats Gola, time really flies boet!
I had fun yesterday, checking how many of my colleagues knew who David Motsamayi was. Quite (un)surprisingly, nobody knew.
So, anybody going to Madiba's birthday bash? It seems that the Post Office screwed up, my invite hasn't arrived yet, lol.
Let's hope and pray that he's blessed with a few more happy and healthy years.

Yep, it promises to be a cracker of a game. After reading what de Villiers said at the press conference, it definitely promises to be a hard-fought battle.

@Hob The problem with the bobejans and farmers is too 'complicated' and sensitive to discuss/debate here.Is sad because their hi intelligence is also their undoing
and intelligence is the one thing I value most. Sadly some has to be killed for others to live
.Jakals,leopards etc and humans (farmers) don't go along. When I come to africa 21y ago,I thought,hunters are cruel people,exploiting wildlife but after working at a private game range close to Phalaborwa for a few years,I began to get a glimps of the underlying issues. You know in Mozambique there are no hunters
- a paradys for wildlife would one think - Not so
And yes,I have been there (by car and small aircraft). Did you knew that in Kruger half of all buffalo (and other carnivor species eating their meat) have/ and some die of TB ? Also the Elephants are a huge ecological problem. Guess what,apart of random,isolated poaching, no hunting is allowed! And few private ranges want Kruger's game because of disease. The vets are fighting a loosing battle 'under the table' and lots of animals get 'quietly' shot out of the public's eye
You know - there is a difference between reality and idealism. The europeans have changed africa for ever. So,lets leave this right here.
@Ama, I see London has its fair share of civilians assaulting police members.

Is ironic,only a few weeks ago I had a 'heated' IM conference discussion (about 12 police man all over the world).The majority were accusing me/the saps for been to brutal and provoking 'the crowd'.I can't wait for the 2 British police constables I know to log on msn
(I hope the link is ok this time around)

@ Mario:
I'm sure that you're aware that The Sun is the UK's biggest selling (tabloid) newspaper i.e. (sensationalising rubbish IMHO); even the inimitable British comedian Jasper Carrott summed it up so well when he had a bogus article made up about him by a Sun journalist:
"I honestly think that the average journalist who works for The Sun has all the brains of an amoeba..."
LOL, I'm not saying there may not be elements of truth in the article, but The Sun is certainly not renowned for being paragons of the gospel truth..
Those 2 Pom PC's that you mentioned would more than likely point this out too.

Hmm . . . then you suggest is a 'made up story'. Did not think of that. On the other hand,if the incident really happened as reported,I wonder what exactly are you try to justify/stand for? Mob justice is not justice - no matter how 'reasonable' it may seem and regardles where it takes place.People are quick to condemn it when it happenes in a poor country,yet when it happens on you door step - let's blame the news paper
But then again,you are entitled to your opinion too
I guess we are heading for a 'conflict discussion' of which I had my fair share on this forum
Once again I suggest to 'Lets leave it here'. Wish you all a nice weekend
