Re: Mugabe

Yup. Reality comes as a bit of a shock to those who view things through rose tinted glasses from afar. Not like it wasn't pointed out in which direction things would go either. Too late to fix anything now without stripping it all down to the bone, cleaning out the muck and rebuilding from scratch u...

They burns are nasty buggers. The scar will be with you for ages. Still got mine almost 15 years later.

Re: Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.

AHRLAC. SA new design weapons/surveillance platform meant to trundle around slowly on one donkey. Pity the poor bastard who has to take it into battle. Prob do better as a target drone.

I suspect it's a lure for govt funding to be pissed up a wall.

Re: Staggering Out Over The Abyss

Too many parallels, right down to the hero worship by the left and those not at ground zero in the face of all evidence that their heroes have feet of clay.

Re: Staggering Out Over The Abyss

Pauw has retired from serious journalism except for the recent last swing at the hollow glitter ball. Doubtful he'll bother getting involved again and to be quite honest, closing the stable door once the horse has disappeared into the sunset is a pretty futile exercise. What we're left with is a rap...

Re: Staggering Out Over The Abyss

All sides had their moments but on the whole, unless you were Helen Keller or living outside SA, it was noticeable that most of the sh i t going on was quite obviously stirred up by the ANC/UDF.

No one came out of that smelling of roses yet you remain in denial about the dodgy dealings of an obviously biased media.

Quite. So no support for the winner of the election unless he's the candidate favoured by the west. Didn't go quite the way they envisaged it would from 5000 miles away, did it?
