Do you know where this is ?

Only in SA

South Africa is a great country because…

1. You can eat half-dried meat and not be considered disgusting.

2. Nothing is your fault; you can blame it all on apartheid.

3. You get to buy a new car every 3 months and the insurance company even pays for it.

4. You can experience pathetic service in eleven official languages.

5. Where else can you get oranges with 45% alcohol content at rugby matches?

6. It’s the only country in the world where striking workers show how angry they are by dancing.

7. You're considered clumsy if you cannot: use a cell phone (without car kit), change CDs, drink a beer, put on make-up, read the newspaper and smoke, all at the same time while driving a car at 160 kph in a 60 kph zone.

8. Great accent. (!!!)

9. If you live in Johannesburg , you get to brag about living in the most dangerous city in the world.

10. Burglar bars become a feature, and a great selling point for your house.

11. You can decorate your garden walls with barbed wire.

12. The tow-trucks are the first on the scene for most major accidents, without anyone calling them.
The police you have to call at least three times.

13. Votes are recounted until the right party wins

14. Illegal immigrants leave the country because the crime rate is too high.

15. The police ask you if they must follow up on the burglary you've just reported.

16. A murderer gets a 6-month sentence and a pirate TV viewer 2 years.

17. The prisoners strike and get to vote in elections!

18. The police stations have panic buttons to call armed response when they are attacked.

19. Police cars are fitted with immobilisers and gear locks!

20. Condoms are free - plastic shopping bags you pay for.

SO WHY ARE WE ALL HERE ?

April 2010

Spring is Sprung !

Those daffodils we featured last month are to be seen everywhere at last, and it is a beautiful sight - just like splashes of sunlight in the grass ! Not only is the weather warmng up but the braais are coming out of hibernation - big time! We are selling loads of boerewors and firewood as well as marinades and other braai-related goodies. Due to public demand, we have already started making our speciality boerewors range and man-sized marinated rump steaks. This year will see the introduction in the shop of several new and exciting items. From the end of April, Sosaties will once again be available as well as mixed braai packs and marinaded chicken flatties.

We continue to increase our range in the shop although there are always some items that we can no longer offer due to labelling or content issues with the Trading Standards regulations. We do our best to get what you are looking for - just let us know and we will pull out all the stops.

Die Boereworsklub

Daai nuwejaarsvoorneme van my om hierdie jaar my sport net te geniet en nie weer sulke hoë verwagtinge te hê nie - “om teleurstellings te voorkom” - lê lankal iewers en vrot. Nee wat, sommer met die eerste afskop toe vertrek daai ou voornemensie saam met die bal en die Lions se drome. Manne (en vroue!) kyk, daai arme Cheetahs word darem wraggieswaar, hoe sal mens dit nou stel, beproef. Kyk, dis nou nie asof die span deur Bill Gates geborg word nie en geld was nog maar altyd ‘n kwessie om sy beste spelers uit die kloue van die ander unies te hou. Maar voeg nou nog daar by die beserings en Kaptein Juan se pa wat in die hospitaal is en, en, en. Maar hier in vreemde ondersteun ons mos enige span met ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse smakie – selfs Saracens en die Stormers. Ja, en selfs die Bulls. Laasgenoemde twee spanne (met hulle Vrystaatse invloede!) se vertonings tot dusver laat hierdie Engelse verskoninkie vir ‘n lente sommer sonnig lyk. Ek moes die kalender die afgelope naweek tuin toe vat en vir ons affodille gaan wys, want hulle wag toe nog heel geduldig vir die blomseisoen om te kom.

Hier by Biltong Direct is die lente egter al goed op dreef. Die paaseiers vlieg van die rakke af, die meeste boereworsgeure is weer op vol sterkte en ons nou al bekende gemarineerde steaks lê reg vir ‘n rooster.

‘n Paar nuwe toevoegings gaan sorg dat die bure oor julle heinings gaan kom kwyl. Moenounie suinig gaan staat en wee’sie. Wys die plaaslike bevolking hoe daar gebraai moet word!

Tjorts!

Essex Braai Club

Remember to visit Facebook to get news of the group's first braai of this season. Join the group Essex SA Braai Club and don't miss all the fun !

This is a great bunch of people of all ages who chat around the braai fires, play ball games, fly kites, have a drink and just generally enjoy themselves in a lovely setting.

Do you know where this is ?

Last month we peered down the Big Hole in Kimberley, but where are we now ? This is the largest all brick building in the Southern Hemisphere. Can you guess where it is ?
