Not I, said the Wanqing One.
I've got so much to do that I'll be at work until the caretaker eventually chucks us out after 6pm, then it's meandering through the traffic lanes back to the house, another 40-45 minutes at least during the rush hour.
Thus it won't be before 7 tonight for me... Could do with a Bud right now.

@da wanqsta: By the time you leave the office I'll be at the Ysterplaat Airforce Base, whining with some aero industry hotshots who are in town for an aerospace show.

@Brix, for lunch we had flame-grilled wors which was marinated according to a secret family recipe
All was going swimmingly until Lil Ms. Kryptilana took a leap off the stairs which lead to the outside loft where hay and tackle used to be stored. Luckily she landed on the grass, but twisted her ankle in the process, necessitating me to drive to Uniondale for some liniment. The reason for her excitement- she saw some horses in the meadow next door and wanted to ride on one of the ponies, so egged on by her two partners-in-crime who are accompanying us for the holiday, she did the Superman thang
Girls will be girls lol

@ Kryptik,
LOL, so horses be their er... Kryptinite then...
@ da Brixsta,
You lucky so-and-so. I was on the base checking out the SAAF museum when we were last home, just to the right of the massive Avro Shackleton maritime reconnaissance static display aircraft.
Actually, the history and value of some of those medals and decorations in some of the display cabinets (as to who wore them etc.) is not advertised in too much detail..they don't have the finances to provide 'sufficient' security for some of those extremely rare items in there. Thus to help avoid potential thefts there's no real big 'song and dance' made about their true origins...or value.
Ysterplaat...eish, but it's amazing that just down the road is a totally different socio-economic neighbourhood; kinda like Selborne being so close to Southernwood in EL.
Beware of those luring ladies on those suburban Ysterplaat street corners...

@da wanqsta: Will definitely enjoy it...the last time I was anywhere near a fighter het was about two years ago when the Swedes came down here to test fly two of the SAAF's Gripens at Ysterplaat. Now I wish I had paid attention during maths class and I would now be flying in those jets.
I'm not that big into WW2 history...although I loved that German movie on the final days of Hitler- The Downfall.
Guys, I'm still in the office and it's worrisome...I need to get out of here :angry:

Let's just say that one of those medals amongst the displays in the SAAF museum, for instance, was the only one of its particular kind awarded to any Third Reich pilot, personally awarded by The Fuhrer himself.
'Downfall' was an excellent portayal of Hitler's last days indeed.
The K800i has been reduced further on The Link's O2 online specials. It now costs just £205.99 (approx R2680) when trading in any old brick. No branding on the handset, but it would need to be unlocked.

Eish Wanqa, i drooled over those decorations and medals when i first saw them, collectors pieces indeed, and worth far more than many would realize. I know of a few collectors of medals and such memorabilia who would happily pay incredible amounts to lay their hands on some of those beauts.

@ kryptic,thanx bro,that would have been great! But so goes life. Gotta wait for some pals and try to convince them for a quick Warmbaths(bela bela) trip or maybe Sabie. With the money me and jim have for the trip,we would be able2cover4everyone.
Just a quick one about crime, and the car, my mother got freed of 1k this week. White guy. Just proof once again how it is black and white once again. Was at the bank. Case of pickpocket.
I started getting some chords for my next song in place,even though my first song is not done yet. The next song has the hardest guitar line, and me, little old bassist actually got it down. My guitar is improving:) Can't wait to officially start work on my next track:)

Brix, what's this that 702 is reporting about a plane-crash at the airshow? Just caught the tail-end of a telephone call to the studio, heard that some pilot had been killed.
