You want to talk beer -- anon, Sat, 14 Jun 2008, 21:04:14 (NoHost/62.136.16.124)
If you live in UK and want to drink the very best beer then book a day trip on a ferry to France. You have in mind visiting the Saint Sixtus Abbey in Belgium, an hours fast drive east from Dunkerque (Dunkirk) on the E40. Hang a right at Veurne. The day before you plan to make the trip you must make a phone call
http://www.sintsixtus.be/eng/brouwerij.htm to enquire if they have any beer to sell you. If you're lucky they will give you an appointment. Arrive on time and join the slow moving convoy of cars that trickle past the loading dock from about 6am onwards 5 days a week. You will be sold a maximum of 2 cases of beer. A monk in a habit will load your car. It's not too expensive, about a pound sterling or so for each brown unlabeled bottle, 33 cl. Their top 2 selling beers are quads, 8 & 10 percent minimum alcohol. They are simply unbelievable. You have to sign a declaration promising you won't sell them on. They don't supply any commercial outlets. I am sipping one as I type this. Google Westvleteren and you'll find out more. I understand a major battle in WW1 in nearby Poperinge was re-positioned so as not to interfere with supplies of beer for the German and Brit high commands.

Pheeeep! Sorry Jumbo (Jimbo presume), can't let that pass. In my experience Australians drink lager. It's passable, but the selection is limited and if you're not careful they give it to you in a ladies' glass. On the plus side, they do know how to serve it *really* cold. If you don't really like lager, or enjoy a bit of variety, there's always Victoria bitter, which is an acceptable ale. Now heaven knows, Pommyland has many faults, but beer ain't one of them. If you're a lager man, you can get all the Australian stuff and more. English, Scottish, American, Candadian, German, French, Belgian, Indian, Namibian, Thai, Kenyan etc etc, even good old Castle (strictly for nostalgia purposes). Of course, real aficiados drink ale, and there are hundreds and hundreds to choose from, many of which are both sublime and - if that's what floats your boat - pretty powerful (Dogbolter anyone?). Moving on, we can get German wheatbeer and of course varieties of Irish stout (Guinness, Murphies etc.) Need I go on? No, this place is paradise if you enjoy your dop. And they haven't sold it warm for decades.

A third of Zimbabweans 'need aid' -- Bob, Fri, 13 Jun 2008, 5:22:00 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
The top UN humanitarian official says the situation in Zimbabwe is worsening, with up to four million people - a third of the population - needing aid.
Briefing the security Council, John Holmes condemned the government's recent ban on private relief work.
The US urged the council to discuss the humanitarian crisis and "state sponsored violence" ahead of elections.
Washington also accused security forces of seizing US food aid and distributing it to supporters of President Mugabe.

Another Voice - Matthew Parris -- Bob, Fri, 13 Jun 2008, 4:26:07 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
The funny thing is that I’m not sure I ever knew her Christian name. No doubt she had one, and for no reason at all I think it might have been Jean, but to us she was so much, and so completely, Mrs McLeod that as a boy I probably imagined her husband called her Mrs McLeod at breakfast. Come to think of it, I’m not sure I even knew about a husband — but her title was ‘Mrs’ and there was a daughter, so I suppose she must have had one.
And this was the woman whose name came straight into my head the other morning as I listened to Anne Atkins, on Thought for the Day on BBC Radio, suggesting that apart from immediate family, the person most of us would say had exercised the most influence over us in our impressionable years ‘was probably a schoolteacher’.
Without question that would be Mrs McLeod. Small, bun-shaped, yet firm and compact with a beautifully moulded helmet of grey hair, discreetly scented and carefully made-up and powdered, immaculately turned out as she stepped from her grey-green Morris Minor, and forever about 55, Mrs McLeod was my class teacher in Standard IIa at Borrowdale Junior School in what was then Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia.

Mugabe to blame for Zimbabwe's ills
JUDY WOODRUFF: Some of the discussion at that conference, as you know, was around one of the people who attended, the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, because of the huge economic crisis, political crisis, food crisis in his country. Can he be held accountable by other governments in Africa and around the world?
KOFI ANNAN: The situation in Zimbabwe is tragic. It is a country that had so much hope, a country that was a breadbasket of the region, and today is a basket case, with historic inflation rates that has not been seen anywhere.

Yo BT. George I am in twice weekly telephonic contact with my retarded daughter in Harare. No problems getting her when the little bitch decides to answer her phone. She owns and runs an accountancy and management consultancy practice and is heavily reliant on an email service there, with which she has little hassle.
So ,if you can make the huge effort of sending an email, my suggestion is that you give it a shot.
Incidentally my daughter is frantically busy, making a small fortune, all in hard currency, and is ecstatically happy there, after 6 years in UK.

Zimbabwean Anglican excommunication -- Bob, Thu, 12 Jun 2008, 6:17:47 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
The Anglican Church in Zimbabwe is in uproar. In Harare the Anglican churches are padlocked on orders from the police and Anglicans who go near them are being arrested and severely beaten. Mugabe's archbishop, Nolbert Kunonga, was excommunicated just over a week ago, having been replaced by a new bishop, Dr Sebastian Bakare - but it seems that Bishop Kunonga will fall only with the fall of Robert Mugabe.

state-sponsored crime and terror in Zimbabwe -- Bob, Thu, 12 Jun 2008, 6:11:20 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
The Lion Who Didn't Roar
Why hasn't Nelson Mandela spoken out against Robert Mugabe?
By Christopher Hitchens
Posted Monday, June 9, 2008, at 12:27 PM ET
The scale of state-sponsored crime and terror in Zimbabwe has now escalated to the point where we are compelled to watch not just the systematic demolition of democracy and human rights in that country but something not very far removed from slow-motion mass murder a la Burma. The order from the Mugabe regime that closes down all international aid groups and humanitarian nongovernmental organizations is significant in two ways. It expresses the ambition for total control by the state, and it represents a direct threat—"vote for us or starve"—to the already desperate civilian population. The organization CARE, for example, which reaches half a million impoverished Zimbabweans, has been ordered to suspend operations. And here's a little paragraph, almost buried in a larger report of more comprehensive atrocities but somehow speaking volumes:

SA -- Bob, Thu, 12 Jun 2008, 5:56:21 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
Tensions continue to run high in South Africa, after a wave of xenophobic violence against immigrants which left at least 62 people dead.
Late last month, foreigners were being savagely beaten and some were even set alight. The crisis has left the authorities and citizens on high alert.
Have Your Say: What can be done to stop xenophobic violence in South Africa?
The attacks were driven by deep seated resentment towards new immigrants - who many poor people believe are taking away their jobs and housing.
"Here we are fighting with the foreigners right now because we don't want the foreigners here because we have got no jobs", says one local.

Immigration intake to rise to 300,000 -- Bob, Thu, 12 Jun 2008, 5:33:47 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: Well amid the loud political swordplay over fuel tax and alcopops following last month's budget, one of the biggest shake-ups in Labor's economic blueprint passed almost without comment.
The number of migrants to Australia next year will jump to around 300,000 - its highest level since the Immigration Department was created after World War II. And there will be a heavy emphasis on skilled labour.
That's before the government's expected announcement of a temporary guest-worker program to import unskilled migrants from the Pacific Islands.

I remember that during sanctions they called it a "false economy" when the Rhodie dollar was higher than the Rand, you didn't get many green backs either.
Got a letter (aerogram) from there this month which cost 14 million ZW$ to post. That is cheap !! Internal mail here is 50 cents and post cards over to Zims is $1.50. E-mail doesn't work when they pinch the copper wire ! SMS is good though.

Have been off the net for a while, just caught up after reading all the postings and hope I haven't missed too much.
Yup have tried the Monteiths range of beers, but find the bottles bloody small so you have to get up too often to get another one.
It's good stuff, first brewed on the west coast of the south island and when they hit the news for winning the big companies bought the brand name and started making it up in Auckland (saying it was brewed on the south island) and it then got people in an uproar as it was the West Coasters pride and joy and they reckon it didn't taste the same.
We also make a brew here in Wigram (suburb of Christchurch) called Propeller, making Blondes, Darks, Pilsners, Ales etc. and so named approprately due to the RAF WW2 airfield that they are at the foot of, obviously stocked the pilots fridges.
The Smoked Pink salmon we have in the Supermarkets here goes for around $10-15 for a hundred grams in a vacuum pack. That sounds like it was flown in from Canada, but it is out of our waters ! Too expensive for me, rather pick up a frozen fillet for $6 for 500grams and toss it into the braai pan.
The other stuff you slap the wafer thin shavings onto cream crackers with NZ cheese and eat them with a Monteiths in hand. Home grown fish and beer lekker !

Yo BT. The Rhodesian dollar was as much use as tits on a bull outside Rhodesia. Ouens smuggled all sorts of things out. The lategreat Kieth Pietersen used to smuggle out van loads of Willsgrove pottery to finance his bike racing in SA.
However smuggling on the scale practiced by JIMBO(TOT) was very rare. Okes like him are responsible for the demise of the currency.
Of course there were unscrupulous people who climbed on the bandwagon, like the jeweller who tried to sell me a worthless, flawed, emerald for many thousand Rhodie dollars when I emigrated to SA. Instead I bought Adam Bede furniture. The returns were reasonable in SA.

Expat, you broughtback some unhappy memories. The elephant hide briefcases and jewellry cases were made by a good friend of mine, Norman Clifton-Parks. Sadly Norm who was also head emerald cutter for Sandawana emeralds was electrocuted in his home workshop around the early 1980's. I still use my briefcase which wears well. All the females in my tribe have a jewellry box and the males a briefcase. I smuggled kruger rand and bought through the smalls but nothing like the prices you quote, though I was doing that around 1980. I know some whites who were former Special Branch okes who scanned the smalls trying to pick up who was taking the gap and trying to catch the smugglers. I am still happy that I spent the money on some 'useless' things rather than leave it to the indigenous. They took the remainder anyway a few years after I left.

How the times have changed, Rhodesia used to have a 'worthless' currency according to those who know more than I do on the matter, yet nowadays a Rhodesian dollar, courtesy of ebay, will translate into a number of local beers, regardless of where local is.

I'm with anon on this one. I never heard of anyone being able to pay a bill outside Rhodesia by writing them a Rhodesian dollar check. In fact, not only did you have to receive foreign currency for exports (and pay the receipts in to a bank), but also if you wanted to buy anything outside the country you had to go to the Reserve Bank and get a foreign currency draft. There was no market in Rhodesian dollars anywhere in the world - outside an office in the bowels of the Reserve Bank. So strictly speaking the currency was worthless, except for domestic use, just like the coupons you clip from magazines - redeemable value .0000001 cent. But is was great for buying a local beer, etc. The Reserve Bank calculated a purely arbitrary exchange rate so that people could go on vacation. I seem to recall a derivative market in elephant hide briefcases - people would convert all their worthless cash into these things and take them south. You could also scan the smalls and pay 5000 local bucks for a Kurgerrand - and then cash it in for a couple of hundred rand.

dollars -- anon, Tue, 10 Jun 2008, 8:35:59 (NoHost/62.136.16.124)
well, what can i say? i'm up against the foreign currency fundi oom dawie who has helpfully pointed out, inter alia, that i'm "a little mis-informed and obviously do not understand much about international financial trading" and most importantly that "Prior to UDI...The exchange rate in those days was fairly stable at Rhod$1.00=US$1.27".
oom dawie, prior to udi rhodesia was in the sterling zone and used sterling notes printed for rhodesia in uk and that the dollar didn't come into being until 1970 - so how rhodesian dollars were trading at all is beyond me. perhaps you're not as well informed as you think.
kill, the tobacco buyers didn't arrive in rhodesia with suitcases filled with rhodesian dollars that they'd exchanged for usa dollars in the usa. all exports were paid for in hard currency. i imagine that in the case of tobacco they didn't even bother to go through an exchange...it was probably x amount of tobacco costs y amount of american dollars - but i don't know.
if someone says they exchanged rhodesian dollars at jan smuts i believe them. i tried practically every time i passed through from 1975-1980 and they did change them - twenty bucks - on one occasion. if one had tried to change a few thousand i don't think you'd have had much luck.
i too used to sell printing equipment to zimbabwe in the nineties. always had trouble getting buyers to come up with the hard currency. the exchange rate was set by the zimbabwean bank alone and they would have to provide a hard currency draft. no matter what the "official" exchange rate was, joburg banks wouldn't touch the stuff with a bargepole.
anyone personally collecting equipment would come with us dollars.
and btw kill, yes i was there. i was recruited by jan lamprecht while serving in the british army. i even paid my own fare.
i was attested by a colonel stokes who was in a wheelchair. i recall him saying how ashamed he was that foreigners were being recruited to plug the gap because rhodesian kids were either running away or being sent abroad by their parents.

Yo BT. There was a time when forex was fairly freely available in Zim. In the 80's I managed an abnormal load transport company. Much of the companies operations were paid for in forex as we operated throughout Southern & Central Africa. We were net forex generators. All operating costs incurred outside the country were paid for in forex. I didn't need reserve bank approval, merely Nedbank approval, my companies bankers in Southerton. All I had to do was present forex invoices and bank drafts were issued, and always honoured. I incurred business travel expenses outside the country. It was no problen to obtain USD cash when I travelled outside the country. At this time the USD:ZWD exchange rate was vitally important to us. I was often called upon to travel outside the country at short notice. I kept ZAR and USD stashed in my car and in my briefcase. All this was good shit until much undeclared foreign currency was discovered in my car at Beit Bridge. I had to forfeit the lot, about USD 4000 as I remember.This situation still existed in 1988 when I resigned from the company.

Yup I remember the print exhibitions at the old exhibition centre in Carlton Gardens. I am retired now so no longer have anything other than a passing interest in the trade. Some enormous piss ups at these events, Drupa and Ipex required a spell of detox afterwards. Funny you should mention Curries. Dave Currie is part of the reason I now live in Aus. I met up with him at a trade piss up at Ipex in Birmingham in 1980. We were a little bit well imbibed with Roland grog and I was asking him about Aus. He told me there were only 250,000 aborigines in Aus and at election time they rolled out the grog got them pissed so that they couldn't vote. Not true, but I liked his style. Shinohara is a good machine and the price used to be good.

Anon your statement that "They wouldn't even cash them at Jan Smuts." is not correct.In '79 while going through with the family the chap at the money exchange offered to change as much as I wanted.We only had our $30 each but there were no problems there.The problem was at Sby airport,if you had more than the allocation of Rhodesian cash when leaving I think it could be confiscated and a fine.

Anon/ Abbabba
you guys are a little mis-informed and obviously do not understand much about international financial trading.
First of all it was the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia that controlled foriegn currency. Prior to UDI forex was easily available for international trading. One of the largest sectors was mining in which most metals were quoted on the LME either in pounds sterling or US dollars. The exchange rate in those days was fairly stable at Rhod$1.00=US$1.27.It was also the rate used for most exports and imports with minor variations usually between the buy rate and the sell rate.
This was the same exchange rate used for US Dollar travelers cheques when required for vacation.
After UDI there were restrictions imposed on the use and availablity of forex, however the value was still much the same. The Reserve Bank always took back it's currency.
As Kill intimated, "were you there?"

rhodesian dollar -- anon, Mon, 09 Jun 2008, 20:19:19 (NoHost/62.136.16.124)
Let's keep our feet on the ground regarding the Rhodesian dollar's value. It was a purely notional value and the currency wasn't convertible anywhere else in the world. The idea that an American bank would exchange them at two for one in greenbacks is bizarre. It would cost the bank a fortune to try and redeem the things. For a start it was illegal to take the currency out of Rhodesia and the Bank of Rhodesia, or whatever it was called, wouldn't buy them back. It is true that one could exchange a very small amount of Rhodesian dollars - a few hundred or so - per person for holiday purposes or for emigrating. Similarly, firms that wanted to import could get permission to buy small amounts of foreign currency at a notional rate. They wouldn't even cash them at Jan Smuts. The good exchange rate was a sop to encourage people to stay in the country. It's a bit like my bribing my kids by paying them a pound for each dog turd they pick up off my lawn. It might keep my kids happy and my lawn clean, but it doesn't constitute a legitimate money market in dogshit.

Yo BT. Diane as late as mid 1984 the Zimbabwe dollar was stronger than the USD. The rate was about 0.7:1. THe rate for the ZAR was 0.65:1. The ZWD started it's mercurial decline in November 1997 when the rate dropped from 10:1 to 20:1 in one day. Since then the ZWD has never looked back!

Hey Bob,
Good posting, sadly there is a perception in Australasia that a Seff African is a person who would rather be murdered in their bed than have to make it!
Jimbo. I will get to Melbourne (read Geelong) one day for a beer, I have several times been to Melbourne on business, and stayed in Carlton, in particular the Lygon Lodge in Lygon Street, I can tell you that the Mafiosi IS alive and well there.
Melbourne is on exactly the same Latitude as Tauranga, but gets a bit hotter in the summer and a lot colder in the winter.
We were at a print exhibition so crossed the bridge next to Flinders St Station and unknowingly started walking to St Kilda beach, after about an hour we asked a local and were told that the exhibition hall had been moved farther down the Yarra, so walked back to Flinders, turned left and walked alongside the Yarra, it was so bloody cold that we called into a riverside bar and had few dop's, then a few more, a problem with the "Shout" system down this way is that you can easily get out of hand, we duly arrived at the new exhibition hall and had a few beers with various printers in the bar, we than proceeded to the exhibition itself to find that it had closed 15 minutes earlier.
Was quite impressed the next day with Dawie's Shinohara hooked up to a CTP system (Durst?) The agent was Curries.
Apparently it was one of the first exhibitions in the new hall and nearly shook the place apart when all of the multi colour presses were started up, most, especially the giant Heidelbergs being used to having at least a metre of reinforced concrete beneath them.

We're both right Glen. Roger is talking about the salmon that run to the sea and back to the rivers, they are an introduced freshwater species eg. smoked salmon yum! The salmon you are referring to are indigenous and salt water only, not the same family. Actually I have a feeling that Chinook(Nth American) is the same fish I call Atlantic Salmon,not sure though.

Sorry Jimbo - I have to disagree with you. True, Atlantic salmon are bred in Tassie but the Aussie salmon commonly referred to, that we catch in the southern parts of Australia are not related to 'real' salmon.

The Anglican Church in Zimbabwe is in uproar. In Harare the Anglican churches are padlocked on orders from the police and Anglicans who go near them are being arrested and severely beaten. Mugabe's archbishop, Nolbert Kunonga, was excommunicated just over a week ago, having been replaced by a new bishop, Dr Sebastian Bakare - but it seems that Bishop Kunonga will fall only with the fall of Robert Mugabe.

Johnny B,
this NZ website below will not let me copy text, but it says HEP block the migration of salmon, many dams lack fish ladders, and even those that do not, the huge reservoirs of water are an impediment to smolt, slowing them down and exposing them to predators and turning them into ground salmon in the turbines.
As a result Salmon migrations number are in decline.
http://www.fly-fishing-guides-new-zealand.co.nz/salmon.htm
Any kind of "green" power generation destroys wildlife, we filed a lawsuit against a windpower generation farm, they put them up right in a pass that is a major pathway for migrating birds that use the wind to migrate. Biodiesel or ethanol from corn removes million of acres from pastures use, growing corn instead, hundreds of species of birds and mammals exist happily on pastures that are not overgrazed, all birds or animals that come near cornfields are killed.
Instead of grazing cattle on pastures,now they feed the cattle corn in feeding lots.

Fever: Don't take life so seriously.. . . and please be a little more polite - I am not used to being spoken to in that tone. It is not necessary to use the language you use - even if it is in "text." This site never ceases to amaze me. We are all from the same beautiful country, with wonderful memories of growing up in a place so special, and we can't even get along. Bet if I met you in person you would be quite a nice person!

salmon and trout in NZ -- Johnny B (Ahh, Fishing !), Tue, 03 Jun 2008, 21:52:08 (203-184-35-134.jetbuster.co.nz/203.184.35.134)
Greetings BT'rs. I shouldn't be on this media right now but what the hell !
Ray...I think they don't have too much of a hassle here as the rivers are "braided" and so many tributaries that they don't have to aim beyond the wall. Most of the dams are so far up the rivers that they literaly Glacier run off and too mirky for them. The water is a turquois colour and milky from glacier dust.
You can just drive 15 minutes out of Christchurch and fish in one of many pools filled with running spring water and hook a trout or salmon for a realistic fee. The amount of trout swimming up the Avon river here means that standing on the bridge right in the city guarantees you'll see them all year round.
Salmon prefer the faster flowing rocky/sandy rivers. Rakaia, Waitaki to name a few. There is big business with salmon farms in the huge canals feeding between the lower HEP dams though. The eels are everywhere though and a bit of a predadtory scavenger in the slower flowing waters. Duckling legs are their speciality. Many one legged ducks. They taste like barbel (catfish to NZ'ders) when cooked on the braai. I have seen on the west coast where they'll follow the smell of blood to the point that they'll come out of the water to feed on whatever was gutted . A Maori delicacy.
Nothing to beat fishing for tiger in the Zambezi though. I better head to off work. Have a good Wednesday.

________________________________________________]
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, 'Let's begin by reviewing some American History.
Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up : 'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said. 'Very good!'
Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'
said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed.' Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F*** the Indians,' 'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1862.'
At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.' The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now,who said that?' Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher , 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying
against him
- 2004.'
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh sh*t, we're f*****d!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'I think it's Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe,2008.

Advice given on this site, over, and over, is "if you don't want to read it scroll on" - well that is what has been happening and now there is not much to read. Thank you very much.

I see the Ranger Rover is there. That means he’s still away, all right, that’s good, let’s go.
ANDREW FOWLER: In the Perth suburb of Applecross, an international game of corporate espionage is being played out.

SOMETHING IN THE PIPELINE ? -- Johnny B, Mon, 02 Jun 2008, 21:26:15 (203-184-35-134.jetbuster.co.nz/203.184.35.134)
It is good to see the site has some veterans still. Jimbo, Nellie, Ray, Dawie, John W, and many more. Enough to keep the cage rattling.
Bots/Zim Pete you know that RGM has surprised everyone and gone to Rome to check out the UN food conference, I wonder if he has gone to pick up the crumbs or be shot down in flames. Can't trust the snake.
But maybe they'll shackle him to the return flight undercarriage and let others rebuild the country.
Imagine :- They'll need dam builders and expertise to clear the land and will be paid in US dollars. There is hope yet, or you reckon this is just a pipe dream ?
If you want a choice of a point furthest from Africa, it's either Siberia, Alaska, or New Zealand. I took the latter.They are needing more HEP dams here because the greenies don't want nuclear, the others don't like the windmills and others are chirping that the carbon footprint made by coal power is a no no. So HEP on the west coast is the way to go. We'll be here in the white pages when you need a hot cup of coffee if you come to survey the land!
Who knows, bottle top openers will always be needed wherever we go.

Hey Pete, good luck with your plans to go to Australia, but be careful of new names, Aus Pete sounds too close to house pet. Dont worry about Jimbo, Bickie will send him rolling home she's no nonsense.
This Australian, was in a shipwreck and got marooned on an island with a sheep and a sheepdog. Every evening they would be sitting on the beach admiring the beautiful, romantic sunset,but whenever the Australian reached out to put his arm around the sheep, the sheepdog would snarl and threaten to bite the Australian to protect the sheep.
A few weeks later Hilary, flying back from a campaign to the Solomon Islands to get every single vote she can, was wrecked on the island too. As they were sitting on the beach watching the sunset, the Australian said that he had no sex for weeks, so Hilary batted her eyelids and asked if she could help.
"Yes" said the Australian. "Could you please take the dog for a long walk???"

Hi BT'rs, Ja I'm still around. Sorry I haven't replied to the Ouns.
Have had a quick check in and that I have been watching the match here in Christchurch and looked at the chat site (once in a blue moon) and to say that the trophy goes to the Canterbury Crusaders. I did shit myself that we were going to lose in the first half but Daniel Carter saved the day with a drop kick and a penalty in the second half to take the lead. Can't say much for good smooth runs tho'. More like bulldozing to the try line was the only activity there was to watch.
The worst thing was Robbie Deans has now jumped the border and gone to coach the Wally's. What a loss and a bunch of tossers the board are here to let him go. Good luck Australia ! We'll see if South Island can find another coach as good as he was. Another bit of a shock is they have dropped a whole lot of the All Blacks out of the running this weekend.
Greetings to all the BT's that I know, one of these days I'll get around to make more sociable time. Got to work hard to pay the mortgage (head down bum up). Early days on BT in NZ there was more time to chat when I was renting and no mortgage, at least this patch of house and dirt won't be pulled out from under me like our farms were.
It's real good to know I'll live longer than RGM, it was real sad to see Smithy's gone (last time I was on this site). Tomorrow's another holiday (Queens birthday) so that we can get over the babalaas of winning.Go well and stay well. JB

He has the moral and mental fortitude to meet all the requirements of a leader. How can anyone fault a man who can tangle with a hostile geriatric at a flower show and shove the old bugger around and beat him unmercifully with a flame lily, race pigeons and beat them, dress up as a fairy whilst entertaining his grand littlies at a park, beat the shit out of a mob of goffs on a train while escorting said goffs back to base after going AWOL. (Prime Minister)

John Winter, what can anyone say about this bloke, tell me what? (Foreign Affairs Minister).

Well.....
Good for the Zimbos. !!!!!!
Zim power for Boks
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers included four uncapped players, including Zimbabwean props Tendai Mtawarira and Brian Mujati, in his squad of 30 players for the Tests against Wales and Italy next month.
Mtawarira (Sharks), Mujati (Stormers), Stormers lock Andries Bekker and Sharks wing Odwa Ndungane have been rewarded for their form in the Super 14.
"It wasn't easy cutting down the squad (from 47 down) to 30, and that is how it should always be," said De Villiers.
"A lot of guys put up their hands and I want to make it clear that the Springbok door is not shut to anyone.
"The squad was picked entirely on merit, and every player named deserves his spot. I congratulate them all and look forward to the challenges of Wales and Italy that are now upon us."
Selectors Peter Jooste and Ian McIntosh also expressed their satisfaction at a "well balanced squad, with the right mix of youth and experience".
Heini Adams, Meyer Bosman, Schalk Burger, Fourie du Preez, Jaque Fourie, Zane Kirchner, Wikus van Heerden and Duanne Vermeulen were all ruled out of the mid-year Tests because of injuries.
The squad assembles in Bloemfontein on Sunday, 1 June, to prepare for the first Test against Wales — in Bloemfontein on 7 June.
They face Wales in a second Test in Pretoria a week later and will come up against the Nick Mallett-coached Italian side in Cape Town on 21 June.
Springbok squad:
Backs: Gcobani Bobo, Tonderai Chavhanga, Bolla Conradie, Jean de Villiers, Peter Grant, Bryan Habana, Adrian Jacobs, Butch James, Conrad Jantjes, Ricky Januarie, Percy Montgomery, Odwa Ndungane, Ruan Pienaar, Francois Steyn.
Forwards: Andries Bekker, Bakkies Botha, BJ Botha, Bismarck du Plessis, Ryan Kankowski, Victor Matfield, Tendai Mtawarira, Brian Mujati, Danie Rossouw, John Smit (captain), Juan Smith, Pierre Spies, Gürthro Steenkamp, CJ van der Linde, Joe van Niekerk, Luke Watson.

j, take a prize -- Jimbo, Wed, 28 May 2008, 10:20:16 (220-253-52-63.VIC.netspace.net.au/220.253.52.63)
j, take a prize, you are the first person to wholeheartedly agree with me...ever. Incidentally my friends think that I am to the right of Ghengis Khan. Bring back the death penalty for murderers, paedophiles, rapists etc. Jimbo for President has a good ring about it.

Yo BT.Who said anything about bottle stores? I am bringing Dawie with . Between us we are bloody clever at making kaffir beer, and drinking it.We will start a new thing in Moffie land. In no time we will have 2 million moffies getting pissed on kaffir beer. We need to live next door to JIMBO(TOT) so that we can package our kaffir beer with his boom. In next to no time we will be as rich as shit. We also hope to pull the old hobo out of the gutter.

Well, Jimbo,
Eureka!
We finally have something on which I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Labour/Liberals in any form or guise, in any country, are bad news, dangerous and to be despised!
Unfortunately, the population who voted them in, have to take responsibility and one can only wonder at their mentality.
In the case of Oz, the country needs more people like ZZLLPetcJouMoerPiet, dawie, Bru...er...Hank, TCITPSS, and ek, ek se.

Ja more water but no dams -- Jimbo, Wed, 28 May 2008, 2:25:18 (220-253-52-63.VIC.netspace.net.au/220.253.52.63)
Ja Johnnie Raghead I agree, Oz needs more water, lots of it. The region I am in has been in drought now for 10 years. However we have a countrywide set of governments called Labor. I call them white munts. These clowns say that dams are no good for storing water it's a very bad idea. No shit Sherlock! here in my part the government is spending millions diverting water by pipeline from a river up country which is critical to one of the biggest farming areas in the country(also in drought. The federal government is buying water licences back from farmers at the cost of mega millions so that the water can flow down the Murray River which is totally stuffed. The problem is that the farmers haven't got any water to sell in the first place because the rivers are dry. And you reckon only the black munts can't run a country. Just give it to a bunch of ex union officials and left wing teachers and see what happens.

why bob, why? -- Ian Hiding, Tue, 27 May 2008, 22:00:05 (NoHost/207.195.248.32)
Hostile? Bob is not hostile. The canuckastapo is hostile. Nellie's smelly vellies ARE hostile. Rayray's bone crunchie tackles is hostile, ja.
Bob, keep up the fine work old man, if the whiners don't want to read your posts (I don't) they should scroll on past - kind of like technology has done to the sporraned twit in hogtoon.

enquiry for Bob -- jack zilroy, Tue, 27 May 2008, 21:28:19 (NoHost/62.136.16.124)
Bob, you have piqued my curiosity. For God knows how long you have posted your cut and paste links to events which most people who read this site are quite capable of looking up themselves should they wish to. One can only imagine you post to wind people up. Many people have complained about your posts without your taking the hint. Why do you do it? Why are you so hostile to a bunch of people minding their own business? I'd really appreciate your answering this question.

Zimbabwean farmers in Nigeria -- Bob, Tue, 27 May 2008, 10:43:41 (210-185-70-9.intrapower.net.au/210.185.70.9)
Today we follow the fortunes of Zimbabwe farmers who have been evicted from their farms. However, a Nigerian politician have invited them to West Africa to rebuild their lives there. Will this unlikely partnership turn rural lands in to profitable commercial lands?

Business of the Bomb -- Bob, Tue, 27 May 2008, 10:36:44 (210-185-70-9.intrapower.net.au/210.185.70.9)
In January 2000, a German engineer living in South Africa met with a friend and business partner to hatch a deal. Gerald Wisser, a 61-year-old broker, visited his friend's pipe factory outside Johannesburg to see if his friend wanted to make a bid on a manufacturing project. According to what Wisser later told investigators, his friend, Johan Meyer, pointed to a foot-and-a-half tall stack of documents and said, "That is the beast. I will make an offer."

Well Jimbo COG....it all depends...if you have a stake in the Bottle Stores as WELL as having cornered the Boom market...
I'd say you should be pretty chuffed to have our old mate ZZLLPdrcJoMoerPiet living next door....
We should make a new version of that song ie..
"Living Next Door to Jimbo....Jimbo?....Jimbo?....Who the Fcuk is Jimbo?!"...
problem is they don't know what Shake Shake is, over in Geeitslong....
anyway, I digress....
Oz needs plenty water so you've got a job for life JoMoerPiet....
and how did you know we are going to Wild Heritage????
We arrive at HaHaRaRe international on Friday morning and go straight up to WH, Charara !
Can you bring some extra Zambezis for me ou China?.....

Anything worse? -- Jimbo, Tue, 27 May 2008, 6:16:15 (220-253-52-63.VIC.netspace.net.au/220.253.52.63)
Can anyone think of anything worse than DimPete staying next door to you? Property values would go through the floor. and bottle shop sales through the roof.

Yo BT. JIMBO(TOT) the only reason I have been quiet is that I have been trying to find your address so I can come and live next door.
Seems that Aus are looking for bloody clever dam engineers. Here I am.
I am the first to admit that the best teams in S 14 2008 are in the final. Don't give the moffies much chance though.
OK Jo Gat John, I'll see you at Wild Heritage, Charara.

dawie at last you are going to go and have a look at some decent machinery, Roland, Heidelberg. What's on? Drupa? As for fishing, I can show you a photo of my grandsons tuna from last month and he is only a piccie. We don't muck about. DimPete is quiet, the loss of the Sufefrican teams must be depressing for him.

Howzit BT -- John W., Mon, 26 May 2008, 7:15:43 (NoHost/80.227.168.194)
ja dawie i agree...no ways we take jimbo COG...but maybe it would be good idea to take him along as a gillie but i don't think he can even put a worm on a hook so it's not a good idea and he would scare all the animals away.
ZZLLPetcJoMoer Piet are you up for a trip to Krabs?
Will be going up to Charara this week end.
Not the best time for Fishing but who cares...hopefully we can strike maningi Zambezi's or Chilly Pillies.
Will be taking the Shisha along...
try some Zambezi Zol, ek se!
I will tenga extra to take with us to Oz when we visit Jimbo COG...will make his Boom seem like Camel Turd.

China is not fit to host the Olympics -- Bob, Sun, 25 May 2008, 10:11:09 (NoHost/218.185.83.35)
The second Intelligence Squared debate takes on sport and politics. As the great Olympics torch debacle showed it is difficult to keep separate the two categories. Beijing is desperate it all goes to plan. But for many the 2008 Olympics is a sham; it should not have been awarded to a country with such a shameful record of human rights abuse. Let the debate continue

B, tears et al,
Howsit alles, jaaslik, it’s amazing what one can learn on this once sacred site. TCITPSS and myself were just chirping and I mentioned how Dom some ouns were, not knowing what the word moerse meant, we thought it was a Scots word for mouse, and then a Scotsman tunes us it means a fat smack, Hau.
One smart muntu has been jailed for two years after he sold urine(piss) to residents in a mining town claiming it was cooking oil, according to state media reports.
Piccard Mudzingwa, 28, approached one of the victims at a bus terminus in the southern mining town of Zvishavane selling bottles containing a liquid he said was cooking oil, The Herald newspaper reported.
Cheers.

It's just $100 for 1 year - 2 draws per week. I may win millions or I may lose my $100, or something in between. It's worth a try!
Either way, I am raising money for the good people in cities and towns around Massachusetts. The Mass Lottery sells subscriptions to people all over the US - no residency requirements.

So much for Mugabe and ZanuPF's hatred of the Brits - check who delivered the weapons!!!
It would appear that the Chinese arms have reached Harare. The ship carrying the arms having being refuelled by a South African Naval supply ship docked in the Congo and the arms were then flown into Harare by a UK Company..... Avient. Have a look at http://www.avient.aero/contactus.htm
