they eat insects – a tasty moth goes down well. Leave it in the garden, it will be just fine, but if it likes the pool you may find it there again.

Comment on Orange Free State by Brett

Brett — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 12:21:41 +0000

The republic’s name derives partly from the Orange River (just as the Transvaal Republic was named after the Vaal River), but both names were bestowed by the Dutch Protestant settlers in honour of the Dutch ruling royal family, the House of Orange.

Comment on God is the Question by brett

brett — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:18:36 +0000

So – if an atheist and a theist sit down to discuss what they believe, can they not define what it is they are talking about? Perhaps thats the problem, theists are always banging on about “indefinable mystery’s”. Perhaps the worst are the warm and fuzzy “spiritual” people who cant bring themselves to realise they are insignificant meat. But at least they are not as dangerous as some zealots who would put a teacher to death for naming a teddy bear “Jesus” (hollow be his name), or a world leader who hears voices in his head telling him/her to go get back our oil gaad buried in a foreign country (for some mysterious reason).

Seems like our “bossies” tea (as Rooibos tea is often called here in SA) is doing it’s thing for you, making you “bossies” being one of them (another SA meaning of the same word, meaning “bush-mad”, another word for that being “Bosbefok” (meaning “Bush-mad-f*cked”(yes to the pun)))…I mean really, asking to define god/God! I thought that’s the whole point, the indefinable maketh the mystery and thus the man’s imagination runs “bossies”!!! So, the moral being, enjoy your rooibos tea, live forever and you might not need God.
Must get this link and drink more bossies tea!(then again, perhaps not, one goes bossies enough from just living here in Smithfield!)

Well that was in March, now in November we have started to hear stories of Iran having nuclear weapons within one year. Mean while Pakistan tells us their nuclear weapons are in safe hands so long as the military stay in power!

I thought it might have some special effect. I am going to go to Vincennes and get some more for myself.But I am not sure it has the same effect when you drink it in Paris.

These pictures are so beatiful. I was born in Lesotho but grew up in South Africa. These pictures makes me want to go there and experience the beauty of Lesotho personaly. I am trying to trace my family there. I so obsessed with information pertaining Lesotho.

Comment on Crying Over Spilled Semen by Brett

Brett — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 07:14:53 +0000

Andy Warhol, in his book – From A to B and Back Again – which i read about 30 years ago, I believe mentions using semen as face cream, he may have been onto something, mind you he defined power as being able to buy 30 pairs of underwear. Power is of course, as he well knew, the ability to print money.

Enjoyed your trip with you – rather you than me though. Tourism anywhere these days a bore – good that you found somewhere special along the way. Think you should become a travel writer – you have talent in that direction!

Sounds just like I remember it! Less the building in Djerba. Glad you liked Tamerza Palace, the ruins are great aren’t they!

Comment on The Cutty Sark, Google and Cape Town by Brett

Hi Tom – well sailing is a good start.
As a sailor my best buddies were often soldiers, mostly from the Vietnam period. And i admit to supporting the invasion of Iraq for a short deluded moment- but I think we were all fooled. Looking back i think i trusted Tony Blair – as the old song goes – we wont get fooled again… but of course we will be.

Fair winds – dare i say passing winds :)

btw, cool name for a website, even though it looks like we disagree on most everything except the thrill of sailing.

So that’s where the semi-naked woman below the bowsprit came from, eh? LOL I always wondered about that.

Can’t say I’ve ever sailed on as big as your schooner, and in fact I never got out of the Chesapeake. But I used to do a lot of J/24 racing there; in my younger days too. It was loads of fun and as you well know a huge challenge. Of course, being in the open ocean on a three masted schooner was no stroll around the park either.

Regards,
Tom

Eyeballs also have rights- they can wear hats!

Yes, I thought that picture of you was far too cheerful looking. But what about the eyeball wearing a cowby hat, what’s all that about?
