Scratch 0 #301 October 23, 2002 Isn't it mating season at the moment. Those mambas get quite territorial when is is that time of the year. Most snakes quietly move out of the way when they hear you coming. Horny mambas on the other hand come looking for a fight. You Natalians can keep them.

Maybe if I just close the blinds on my window I can imagine it's warm and sunny here. Actually it is sunny at the moment. And not as cold as yesterday, so I guess I shouldn't be bitching so much.

It actually reared up and struck at the driver's window - fortunately it was closed and don't talk about horny mamba's .... makes me think of 'other' things .... *sigh* Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch 0 #311 October 23, 2002 Quote aaaah don't tease Who said anything about teasing??BTW The Tank is an old cement water tank at the 'dal. Individuals who misbehave to the point of irritating enough people are set upon by said people like a pack of dogs baying the words " Tank him, TAAAAAANK him. Hunt him down and TAAAAAANK him" The offending party is then trussed up in buff tape and thrown in the tank to cool off.

Try any 'sports' drink, eg red bull etc, it will rebalance your elctrolytes, and give a much needed fluid top up..... Of course you know the best way to avoid a hangover??

meatmissile 0 #321 October 23, 2002 Good Morning guys and gals, Don't even talk about water and tanks around me this Wednesday. A pipe burst somewhere and we had NO FRIKKIN WATER at home this morning. Now I don't know about you but I bath in the morning. So I got back into bed and slept for two more hours. 9:30 pm. Still no f#$king water. Ferdi goes to work feeling sticky, smelling sour and without having had coffee . What really makes it worse is that the Tuesday night numbers were 3:0:0 . -- ZZZzzzz....
