    So when someone says they've never met a nice South African, they mean they've never met a nice (Royal) South African? DiCaprio's character turned out to be OK so that fits with your hint that Rhodesians are a bit easier to love. And the long haired mercenary, Kruger in Elysium is the typification of a true Saffer?

    You see. That's still funny now and was at the time. Sod him if he won't let his guard down.
  3. AHPP
    No no. Interested to learn. What's your connection? Have you lived out there?
  4. AHPP
    I'm generalising. Is there a big difference with borders? I just think of any white man in the southern quarter of the African continent as being like the characters in Blood Diamond.

    I don't think of South Africans as corrupt as much as I think of them as scary. He'd have shit you up all the same if you'd complimented him on his car, wife and dog.

    It won't surprise anyone who has seen my efforts on the cooking thread to discover that I don't wash my baking trays or frying pans. Good tip anyway though.

    If you don't screw the ladder down, I assume the mill slides on the ladder and the ladder sticks to the wood?

    Do you screw it down to a cut surface?

    I like to think it’s something racy. Ideally not a fly fishing vest full of Semtex.

    Burka. Keep up.

    I once attended a lecture on feminist jurisprudence in a little black dress and high heels, also sporting a skinhead. Went down a treat. I’ve since made further use of the heels with my burka. Got ID checked on the door of a bar once. My driving licence was in my phone case, tucked in the garter of my stockings. Bouncer took one aghast look at my hairy thigh and waved me in. Proceeded to win a dance off and score a crate of WKDs for my mates.

    Ash gets conifer sap off your hands btw.

    I meant tree work over the height limit (if the height limit exists).

    Ever claimed?

    Good answer. Different question but nevertheless a good answer.

    Killing people a necessity of life. Deep, man.

    Have the petrol engines got a good reputation? The 998cc 3 cylinder in the 107 is chain driven and apparently hard to go wrong with.
  18. AHPP
    Sorry, no. My little Peugeot (107) is on 14" steels. Did consider a Panda for the AWD and roof rails but the Yellow Peril came up and was just too cute. In hindsight, I could have waited and then I probably wouldn't perennially have an inch of water in the back footwell.

    The spanner in the works.

    It is. They can only die once. No care costs etc. Try paralysing a 37-year-old hedge fund manager with six dependents or bilaterally blinding a wildlife photographer at National Geographic. That's the expensive stuff.

    You beauty. I was about to spend appreciably more on a set of Michelin Crossclimates for the car. Always wanted some Nokians but ended up with other stuff by quirks of fate.

    Maybe for a fourteenth offence while on a bender for forty other things. Otherwise no chance. Someone pulled a baton on me the other week (not at work). Witnesses. Police couldn't have cared less. One control room bint told me it was a civil matter because it was connected to a civil matter. "Smashing. I'll go back and kill him then."

    I took me half an hour to open the van and two sheds earlier. It was like a Tomb Raider puzzle. Had to use the kitchen gas to defrost my way into the shed where the blowtorch is kept before I could use that to open everything else.

    The bassist in my band was expecting his first child a week ago. Having seen the forecast, I nearly remarked to him that he should shoe his car in winter tyres, just in case the child should present itself at an inopportune moment. Then I remembered he's young so wouldn't take my advice anyway so I didn't bother. One day later, snow. One day after that, the child. He made it to the hospital, peering through a pane of ice but he hadn't stacked the odds in his favour. Firm winter tyre fan here.

    So be it. What price do you put on your integrity? Let the pragmatists at it. They'll eat each other eventually.
