I'll take the picture to my architect friend and say: "This is what I want, make it happen. Now." It'll probably cost a fortune, but I will pay him with love? No, I don't do love. A Sunday roast? No, I don't do cooking. Lots of horny, steaming and mind blowing sex to which all past and future partners will look pale in comparison? I can do that :) My architect friend will thank you someday!ladytruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033228344935713117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832083412796200822.post-51873721248521821052009-07-28T16:50:09.774+02:002009-07-28T16:50:09.774+02:00I thought I'd already commented on this when I...I thought I'd already commented on this when I read it a few days ago.

I'll never let you sleep on the floor and will even allow you to use my precious, close to my heart Victorian bath when you do decided to ever visit my charming country :)<br /><br />Organic Meatbag: Thank you for the "awww"; I'd rather not tell my (fluffy) vicious, killer dog that as he might find it offensive and demand another picture be put in that one's place. <br />As for the liquor: thank you once again.

Thanks for all...Ladytruth, this was one epic post. Thanks for all that effort! I feel all special - like I flew halfway across the world to see you. Is it strange if I say that I've always wanted to visit South Africa? After this post, I want to visit even more!<br /><br />Those taxis made me laugh so much! A friend of mine has recently returned from spending a year in RSA, and she caught a few Coffins On Wheels every now and again. She said she'd never be able to look at vans the same way again. Could be sort of fun in a scary "oh my GOD, I'm going to DIE!" kind of way, right?<br /><br />Loved your pictures of the local 'wild life' - you've really got to watch out for those white fluffy bodyguard types, don't you?<br /><br />And if I spoke Afrikaans, I'd be borrowing your blooks in a heartbeat if your choice of English titles is anything to go by!<br /><br />Count me in for a space on the floor for the 2010 World Cup, sexy lady - I'll remember to bring the booze (Australians and South Africans are so awesome like that, aren't we?), if you forgive me for not bringing any meat ;)<br /><br />Lots of love to you, beautiful one :)the girl with the pink teacuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899687576835455016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832083412796200822.post-31778567813895287092009-07-25T16:15:21.034+02:002009-07-25T16:15:21.034+02:00Mr. C: "Dit gaan goed, dankie, en self?"...Mr. C: "Dit gaan goed, dankie, en self?" Thank you for the Afrikaans! What a pleasant surprise that was :) <br /><br />Of course you have to bring your own meat; I don't have a slaughterhouse in the garage.<br /><br />Oh and Vito, the gay guy? They find him and then pop him. You really have to watch the end of the series though! Get's to a nail biting stage with Tony.<br /><br /><br />Eric: Whatever you do: just say NO to the flame throwers! Next thing you know they'll be selling you fur on the dash with those wobble head puppies. Around here we call them "bokslagters." Rougly translated: hillbillies.<br />Thanks for the compliment on the liquor; life is too short to waste it on cheap booze ;)<br /><br /><br />Sami: even poor people can afford to come here, hell: even poor people can survive here! Seriously though: if you know the right places, a trip to South Africa is any traveller's ultimate fantasy.<br /><br /><br />Madame D: Thank you and thank you very much. It's nice to see appreciation for the pictures as I risked my life taking half of them. (Just kidding!) =)ladytruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033228344935713117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832083412796200822.post-79629624772852311772009-07-25T14:28:14.468+02:002009-07-25T14:28:14.468+02:00Great post and great photos.

Someone showed me last year that they sell flame throwers for under your car so you can discourage carjackers there. I think I want one of those in Texas just on the principle of its inherent coolness...<br />Fantastic liquor selection, and super cute hounds!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174000870387556118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832083412796200822.post-34993163636908647412009-07-25T00:06:54.055+02:002009-07-25T00:06:54.055+02:00Goeie dag!

Well I really don't ...Goeie dag! Hoe gaan dit?<br /><br />Well I really don't know where to start, my visit to your place has been giving me restless nights waiting since you mentioned you would do it. <br />South Africa always intrigued me, even though I know so little about it.<br /><br />SWEAR TO GOD the sopranos song was stuck in my head as I was driving when I got your email telling me about your post! Love that show although I've only seen maybe half the episodes. How do they kill the gay mobster btw?<br /><br />Those taxi vans look f*ckin shifty!<br />And those ghettos? Wow, the crime is horrible huh?<br /><br />The bunny thing is terrible, I loved the lion and elephant pic, loved the dog, the grey goose, but now I have to bring my own meat!?

I explained that my friend is Fulton Allem's nephew, but he just couldn't make out what the hell I was saying. After a fourth attempt he started ignoring me. I suspect he heard something totally different and my untame imagination suspects it was not something about golf.ladytruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06033228344935713117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832083412796200822.post-83804374823001266632009-07-24T22:21:43.754+02:002009-07-24T22:21:43.754+02:00It's a pity you didn't read this post into...It's a pity you didn't read this post into an audio file so we could have admired your South African accent.Gorilla Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044093013423635830noreply@blogger.com
