Dag mense,

Ek hoop julle geniet hierdie stukkie in 'suiwer' afrikaans. Pasop net vir die kleurvolle taal.



Die Spinnekop - deur Nataniël - brilliant!!!!!!



Dit is skreeusnaaks....net soos Nataniel kan.



Ek weet nou nie hoe jy oor spinnekoppe voel nie maar ek ry eerder 'n

fiets sonder 'n saal as om een te konfronteer.



Ja, gisteraand lê ek rustig en lees, minding my own

business.....bedlampie brand baie "domesticated" en sag met die komplimente van Cash

Crusaders, toe ek so 'n sagte geskarrel in die kamer hoor. Ek dog eers dis die mot

wat wil selfmoord pleeg teen die bedlamp se bulbpie...



Kyk... nee, mot se kind sit so stil soos 'n pedigree foksterrier

wat razor blades skuit. Toe's die skuifel geluid weer daar en ek skrik alles

regop wat plat was...en pap wat op was!



'n Onaardse gedrog van 'n spinnekop met W.P. rugbykouse, en wat as

weltergewig kan inweeg, toer teen 8 000 refs oor die vloer en spring

sommer so met die laai se handles teen die bedkassie op!



Op slag beskuie ek my beste linne in 'n herfs kleurskakering in. Lyk of

iemand my bed kapoenkleur, so tussen *** en pampoen gespray paint het.



Ek beskuie alles, boek, bedlamp, asbak, glas, die toetie tot op die

laagste vlak van die kamer, die vloer.



Ek skrik my enigste aambei wat ek het dat hy op my kuite hang!



Nou's die hengse spaaider nog tussen my en die kombuis, waar ek, omdat hulle

my so mollesteer, deur die jare, 'n arsenaal van Doom vergader het.



Nou weet ek, nou sal ek flat out moet hol vir daai Doom.



Ek pluk my enigste halfnat Jockey aan sodat die aambei my nie pootjie nie.



Toe trek ek weg kombuis toe dat die briekmerke soos 'n straatkaart

in my Jockey vergader... en ek 10 sekondes by die kombuisdeur moet back

paddle om nie twee agterdeure te hê nie.



Lord of the Dance se gat my bra!



Terug..... Daar sit die spinnekop nog! Sommer so met die briektrek

spuit ek al.... gelukkig net Doom! ...Osoonlaag en al daai goeters, se alie.



Spuit hom leeg!



Duik my harige vyand soos Ryk Neethling agter die bedkassie in.

Toe moet hy wees na daai dubbel Doom en beskuitreuk wat nou dikker as

toffee in die kamer hang.



Ek trek die kas bietjie vorentoe, skiem nog so ek het gewen, toe

skielik hol daai 4 wheel drive monster van 'n aardsgedrog teen die muur uit, reg

voor my oë verby, tot kophoogte.



Agt oë soos Beetle wheelcaps kyk my vierkantig in my twee ogies.



Nou's dit nag. Ek verlaat myself, my water breek, my knieë swik, my

longe loop leeg, my lippe parteer van mekaar.



Ek beskuie my weer sonder enema. 'n Kreet verlaat my binneste,

ontsnap oor my trillende lippe. Dis toe dié klanke wat Black Sabbath en Uriah Heep na die Drakensbergse seunskoor laat klink.



Dit was maar ook Spiderman se laaste asem, want net daarna los hy als en kom

skeef skeef grond toe, soos fisant stront in vlug.



Al retererende het ek en Doom die veldslag gewen!



*** Woorde hier en daar verander om dit meer familie vriendelik te maak***

Thought I'll share part of his email that I just received. I would be to scared to fly.

"Thanks for praying for my recent trip to Angola, Uganda & southern Sudan.

This was another gruelling one……5 locations….9 flights….over 1000 miles of mostly appalling roads…but I kept well, got everything done and arrived home in one piece…just tired and a bit “lighter” as usual!

Angola is always full of surprises and unexpected “adventures”. I was travelling with my architect friend this time, and although he is used to East Africa, I had warned him (only half-joking) that Angola makes East Africa look very organised. It was true to form……

On arrival at the international airport in Luanda we found that our connecting flight with the Angolan airline was cancelled. A series of people promised to assist us but then disappeared never to be seen again. A further complication was that no one really spoke English. Unfortunately my Portuguese is limited to “Beer Por Favor”, a useful phrase in other circumstances, but didn’t get far when trying to find a plane.

The airport was total chaos…but eventually I negotiated us ($300 dollars poorer) on to another airline’s plane to Huambo. After lots of waiting around we eventually boarded a small plane (20 seats). I kept saying “Huambo?”, and everyone smiled and nodded but I was still not entirely convinced we were on the right plane….however once in the air we were heading the right direction and I started to relax a bit. Big mistake.

The pilot turned around and made an announcement in Portuguese. I worked out we were stopping somewhere else before Huambo. No problem, impromptu stops are the norm on these sort of airlines, but then with a sinking (literal) feeling I realised we were in fact returning to Luanda (where we left 30 mins before). Another hour of waiting around, then we boarded again with 3 additional passengers (important ones apparently) who had been accidentally left behind on our first attempt. We finally arrived in Huambo, 6 hours later than planned but thankful to be there. Quite an initial journey."

It's been there for citizenship for a while, but as of April 2007 you'll need to do the "Life in the UK Test" (and have acceptable english skills) to apply for ILR. Also watch out for new fees coming up - I'll hazard a guess that they're not going to be any lower.

A Prayer



Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.
AMEN :cloud9:

Goodmorning everyone.....

Hope all the strong winds have blown you away overnight.

Have a superduper Monday and a great week. :yes:

:hooray: Congratulations and have a great day! :hooray:

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge claims Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's spending power is stifling competition in European football.
He told Kicker magazine: "Given what Abramovich does every summer in the transfer market, how can German clubs stay competitive?"

Rummenigge also accused Europe's G14 group of top clubs of being "selfish" and hinted Bayern may quit.

Bayern lost captain Michael Ballack to Chelsea on a free transfer this summer.

606 DEBATE: Your reaction to Rummenigge's outburst

Rummenigge outlined his concern about the financial firepower of clubs outside Germany as he said: "I doubt whether in the next 10 years there will be a German club in the final of a European competition.

"If Werder Bremen get past Barcelona in the Champions League, that would be the eighth wonder of the world.

"Bremen earn 23m euros from television rights and Barcelona get 143m.

"I just hope the European Union puts a stop to these excesses of Abramovich and foreign television."

Rummenigge said Bayern, one of the founder members of G14 - which includes Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United - are now contemplating pulling out of the group altogether.

He added: "Everybody in the G14 thinks only about themselves. I will say it absolutely clearly - Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon and his colleagues only fight for themselves.

"So do the Italians and the English. In football it is pure selfishness that rules. There is little common ground among the clubs.

"The way it is at the moment, we would have to think if it is still worth staying in G14.

"I am very unsatisfied with the way it is developing. There is no communication with Fifa, none with Uefa and there are too few common projects."

What was the first commercial jingle heard on television in the U.S.?

London - Horse-drawn carriages in Blackpool are to be fitted with "nappies" to keep the local promenade free from droppings.

Landau drivers had volunteered to follow carriages with a bucket and shovel in their desperation to keep the tourist town clean.

But council chiefs had other ideas and ordered every landau at the seaside resort to be fitted with a rubber and plastic container to collect the droppings.

The scheme had previously proved successful in Great Yarmouth where 17 landaus are fitted with the "nappies".

Councillor Fred Jackson said: "The landaus are a well-known sight on the promenade, but unfortunately we do have this ongoing problem of the droppings, which can be a particular nuisance in the warm summer months."

Landau operator Tracey Morris said: "I'm happy to try out any suggestions that the council come up with that will keep the promenade clean." - Ananova.com Source: IOL

It is very wet outside and :cold: too!

Hope you have a restful day to charge the batteries for next week.
