Sa lady
hey!.. is it just me or do no south africans watch this show?
Punkrock_sadistic
lmao.gif so now that i've searched through like every page on this board (yes, i kid you not!)..i found a saffa page woohoo! not gonna help though because i don't rate there are any in here anyways tongue.gif
MutedTempest
I'm not, not even the slightest bit, but...I want to visit! Does that count?

Even if it doesn't, I'm still posting.

Punky, tell me what it's like, okay?
Punkrock_sadistic
Sweet!!! we totally need to keep the saffa thread up and running lol.gif

Well S.A.'s actually one of those places where everyone wants to go, but they don't realize that there aren't lions and stuff running around... I live in Johannesburg, which is a city like most others,we don't have the sea here though sad.gif ...

The main tourist attraction would be Cape Town, it's got Table Mountain and the sea etc...it's actually the gay capital of S.A. wink.gif

But we're a friendly bunch for the most part so you should totally get over here at some point MT nod.gif
McDouchebag
i'm not a 'saffa' either, but my first big crush was a south african.... that damn lovely accent could melt....something very hard to melt lol.gif

Punkrock_sadistic
You like our accent? Man, so many people say that, and all i can say is i hope you're not talking about the Afrikaans accent because although it's funny to hear, it's seriously not hot!! lol.gif
McDouchebag
mmm not sure. i just know the regular sath efrikkan one i guess hehehehe

but yes it is seriously hot! aussies and brits have pretty nice ones too thumbsup.gif
MollyCBR
I wanna visit too.... infact, I offered to marry Puffy to gain SA citizenship lol.gif
I am gonna visit sometime hopefully soon.
And yes, the accent is very fuucking hot! thud.gif
Punkrock_sadistic
Aye, i think the most famous thing about South Africa has got to be THE BRAAI tongue.gif it's like a BBQ i think... so if you had to attend one of mine, i could guarantee you loads of Saffas! You could listen to 'em all day long lol.gif

Well i'm still waiting for you to get your butt over here!! come on, book that ticket! whip.gif
MollyCBR
I like that idea, I'd definitely go if you had one... I'll bring the malibu & coke wink.gif

ETA- *runs off to book flight*
McDouchebag
well i'm shotgunning a spot in Pam's suitcase then wiggle.gif

i'm sure i mentioned before that a couple of my buddies are from or their parents are South African, so i'm very fond of the accent. there's also a couple terms that i knew at one point but now don't remember, that i found quite amusing wink.gif
Punkrock_sadistic
Oh you'd be my drinking buddy for sure if you came over - Malibu and coke is my speciality (although you already knew that wink.gif ) ...weird though, the Malibu gets more and more in the glass as the night goes on and the coke becomes less and less.. hmmm

Well we say stuff like 'China' and 'bru' and the Cape Townians say 'kif' (which sounds real dumb if you ask me!) ... i'll think of more...
McDouchebag

so you get straight to the point then eh? cheers.gif
Punkrock_sadistic
I found this on GPSA.co.za


Some more on being in current South Africa (this time Jo'burg specifically)...

You know you're in JHB when..
1. The person in front of you in traffic this morning was hijacked and you got irritated because you missed the robot.
2. While eating dinner, a news item comes on TV about a family of six slaughtered in their home, and you ask someone to pass you the salt.
3. You never think of taxis in terms of public transport.
4. While waiting at the ATM, the bank is robbed by armed gunmen, but you'll be damned if you're going to lose your place in the queue.
5. You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.
6. The last time you drove your car without swearing at someone was when you took your drive test.
7. It takes you an hour and a half to drive 5km to work in the morning and you think wow, good traffic day.
8. Every time you find your car parked where you left it you are genuinely surprised.
9. You've never been to Melville or Rocky St but love Sandton City.
10. You can get into a four-hour argument about the quickest way out of Sunninghill after work on a Friday, but can't find Boksburg on a map. Oh, and where is Nigel?
11. You've seriously considered shooting someone.
12. You have more barbed wire around your home than Diepkloof Prison.
13. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.


MollyCBR
funny, more malibu and less coke is usually how my nights go on too lol.gif That stuff is so good.

McD, you can ride in my suitcase for sure.
Punkrock_sadistic
Okay, this even i thought was well funny! lmao.gif

These questions about South Africa were posted on a South African Tourism Website and were answered by the website owner -

Q: Can you give me some information about Koala Bear racing in South Africa? (USA)

MutedTempest
Yay, now I can figure out the time difference!

I could have just looked it up on Google, but this is easier.
Punkrock_sadistic
Hehe, yeah where are you at the moment MT?
MutedTempest
Illinois, US Central time...I'm 8 hours behind you. I think. If I counted correctly. lol.gif
Punkrock_sadistic

MollyCBR
I'm 10 hours back... almost 6pm here
Punkrock_sadistic
Aha i see, you're all behind me...does that mean you're following me around? wink.gif
MollyCBR
no, that means we're just a bit slower look.gif
Punkrock_sadistic
did you just admit to that!?!? lol.gif
MollyCBR
yep.... but if my theory is correct... then you're slower than the australians (among others of course)... and this would mean that aussies and kiwis are the smartest people in the world.
So I don't think my theory is correct.
Punkrock_sadistic
Um yeah, scrapping that theory! skep.gif
Alrighty i think i'm gonna go try catch some ZZZZZ's at exactly 4am here, i'll see you guys wave.gif
