It's a euphemism, like only in South Africa or only in Russia.Still doesn’t make it the only place in the world where you can listen to country music while eating Chinese food.
I am busy with a job close too there at the moment.Close to the flea market in Mulbarton.
If you slipped off to the flea market for a beer or a bite on the weekend you would have heard it loud and clear.I am busy with a job close too there at the moment.
Didn't hear any country music though...
Most of those stories have grown larger over the years, just like the people telling them.Poor little chap.
I am glad that I was able to avoid conscription. I didn't want to be shot at or to hurt anyone, and I have heard that conscripts were subjected to all sorts of abuse during basic training. As it was, I probably would have been declared medically unfit.
Nope - I remember my friends being conscripted and watching them change. Not in good ways for most of them. One of my friends was so picked on as he was small and cute - he ended up in a mental hospital for a few years. I was dating a guy at the time - and he became racist and violent.Most of those stories have grown larger over the years, just like the people telling them.

I did standard 3 and 4 in Barkly East at a school that catered for both boys and girls. Lessons were given in English or Afrikaans up to the end of standard 4. Unless they had something against me in particular, English-speaking children were picked on - even by some of the teachers.Nope - I remember my friends being conscripted and watching them change.

Granted for some people it was a good experience. But for most I think it was really rough.
I did that throughout my high school career (except for std 6).I refused to sing the school song as well as the national anthem.
