hi peoples,

hope you all have a very lekker Friday, and may the weekend bring you great and wonderful things!!


whoohoo, its Friday!! :tequila:

A friend wanted to come to the UK to attend a seminar here in the UK hoping to fly out last night. Earlier this week he discovered his passport expired and amazingly they issued him a temporary passport within a day. All packed and excited he arrived at Jan Smuts/Johannesburg/O.R. Tambo Airport last night just to discovered that he is not allowed to enter the UK with a temporary passport and they wasn't allowed on the plane. What a disappointment!

Now tell me, do you think they knew he won't be able to enter the UK with a temporary passport and thought they'll please him to give him one anyhow and make some money. :duh:

A man suffered internal burns when he tried to launch a rocket from his bottom on Bonfire Night.

Paramedics found the 22-year-old bleeding, with a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket lodged inside him, when they attended the scene in Sunderland.

He suffered a scorched colon and is now recovering in hospital, where his condition is described as stable.

A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) said the prank could have been fatal.

Douglas McDougal, from the NEAS, said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding.

"He sustained fairly significant injuries in the fact that there's huge damage to that particular area."

The growing enthusiasm for increasingly exotic and unusual travel destinations has opened even more areas of the globe to the insatiable thirst of tourism. Not content with two weeks on the Costa del Sol, many travellers now demand a holiday with a little more edge, even an element of risk. However, many parts of the planet remain no-go areas to anyone but the most foolhardy - and for very good reasonsÂ… HereÂ’s the countdown of the top 10 most dangerous destinations on earth today.


10. Zimbabwe

Background

Prime minister Robert Mugabe launched a campaign exiling white farmers and re-distributing land in 2000, plunging the country into an economic crisis that has worsened ever since. Unemployment, inflation and food shortages have devastated the country and fuelled political instability and violent crime. Commercial farms owned by supporters of the Mugabe government often act with impunity from the law and can be particularly dangerous to foreigners.

Dangers

- Violent crime, especially against tourists, including robberies and car-jackings
- Fuel shortages means limited police force and general emergency services
- Political demonstrations, violence and intimidation

Travel risk: Medium to high

If a member of the family from SA is coming over in December and our family is going to Europe for Christmas, and would like her to come along too, does she have to apply for her Schengen visa at the South African side, or could we wait til she arrives in the UK and then apply through the Embassy here? Especially as we are going to be driving over on the Eurotunnel, so there won't be any accomodation costs there?

Hi all

I am currently working on a project for next year and I was wondering whether you know of any South African Chefs (either born there or raised there or simply with a South African connection)?

I'd appreciate a line or 2 about where they work, what they're doing and whether they'd be interested in a project for next year.

They might be at your local pub or at the magnificent restaurant down the road from you or you might have met them shopping in some market place.

Any info would be great :thumbs:

For any of the wise guys.. I'll list a few that I know:

Myself

Chakalaka Restaurant, Putney

Geisha, Nottinghamshire

Cocoon, London

Royalist Hotel, Gloucestershire

Fat Duck, Bray Chef Heston Blumenthal's almost ended up in Cape Town

Many thanks in advance

Over to you..

:am:

Alweer klein Saterdag! Enjoy your day.
