Only in Pretoria! A martyr in Bluebull country...

Anyone from South Africa will smile at this advert.

A friend of mine, Joch Seeliger, sent it to me. He used to play for 'Noord Transvaal' back in the day (in the days of 'skop die bal Naas'). He sends me things like this just to taunt me - I support the Western Province Rugby Team (the Stormers!).

So, I'll start taking orders for these 'Vellies' when hell freezes over, or when the Stormers win the Super 12 (whichever comes first).

The phrase that the New Testament uses for a 'suporter', a 'witness', is mou martures (my witness). Sometimes I feel a bit like a martyr being a Stormers supporter in Pretoria!

Blessings!

D

Hey Big D, people visit your site from some weird and far away places... (Checking your map) It's cool hey.

What I am a little bit concerned about is the kind of advertisments your mapper comes up with when you cick on it... ways to dispose of nuclear waste, where to get pebble bed reactors etc.

it makes me wonder, having just watched 'Lord of War' what kind of business are you REALLY running?

I tried reading your doctoral thesis and I think it might be some sort of code nuclear arms deal - will investigate further. Am gonna give the scorpions a call... Will remain anonymous just in case you nuke my botanica.
