Peej 0 #1 February 11, 2005 Ok some comments in Turtle's school thread made me think about how many of us are on dz.com. I'm interested in those of you who currently live here and those who have immigrated. Add your names to the list...

vt1977 0 #2 February 11, 2005 I was born in SA and lived there until I was 9 years old. I have been living in the UK for the past 18 years... do I count? Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #3 February 11, 2005 A couple for your list Peej... "Bluefingers" used to post pretty regularly, I think she is in Thailand now, haven't heard from her for a while, hope she's okay. "Scratch" is still around, as is "Meatmissile", I suspect "Lostone" might be from your part of the world too. "Taz" is here, and I think "Crazymel" too. "Skystorm" is from Namibia, does that count? Sorry if I've mixed up some nationalities. I'm sat here in Scotland wearing a Springboks shirt, does that count?-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Peej 0 #5 February 11, 2005 Depends, if we put a nice piece of juicy Biltong in front of you, would you eat it? Kidding, once a South African, always a South African! Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #9 February 11, 2005 You are welcome Peej, I forgot "Helicam", and I checked Bluefingers' logon details, she was still kicking on the 3rd of this month, so all is well with wee Kerry.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

lauras 0 #12 February 11, 2005 It's a running joke among our friends that the Africans are taking over Florida skydiving! Just quickly, off the top of my head you've got: proswooper AKA Paul Rossouw (Zhills coach, etc) Sally Hathaway (Synchronicity, owner of Paragone Rigging @ Zhills) Bushman (Aerodyne) Solly Williams (Majik, Skydive Deland) Gary Smith (Majik) Kevin Shafer (PD) Chromy (RW/Tunnel coach @ Deland) and there are a lot more hanging about at just these two dzs. I've also got a Namibian squatting in my guest room for 3 weeks during the Zhills Easter boogie! Slowly but surely, I'm learning how to say some horrible things in Afrikaans. Nice, eh?

freeflir29 0 #15 February 11, 2005 With any luck I'll be visiting there in November. I've wanted to see South Africa for MANY years now. I even toyed with the idea of moving there around 1998. Everyone make plans now to come and see me at JSC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki I was born in SA and moved away when I was 2, so not sure if that counts either. I do have a nice green unused South African passport though. I still crave biltong and fortunately can buy it in London. tashDon't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion.

Beverly 1 #23 February 14, 2005 Ah yes, the SA guys taking over Florida, We managed tog et away with a 6 month reserve pack job (As is rule in SA) because of the SA guys there. CI at Deland is South African. Played with Chromy in the tunnel too!! Man need to get away from the carrot sticks. I suppose they all miss the fruit and veggies from here, as well as the Marie's, Mrs Balls and Biltong. If you desperately need, we can send a shipment over!
