Arrow Update ...

Lo Boys and girls .. headache sjoe ...

TimS, sorry my friend - next time .. I got absolutely pi**ed the first night in Loendoen, Sprinbok pub, then a Kiwi joint and then that damn Ausie bar ... well eventually ended up in a small villiage near Woking with a friend and got horribly smashed at an ex- Brit heavyweight boxing champion's "house" ... uhmmm MASSIVE house .. and from thre on - got pi**ed for the next five days. Anyway sorry Tim - next time.

I saw a nice bumper sticker
PASOP BOERE DIE INGELSE WIL HULLE KLEIN EILAND TERUGVAT
which translates roughly to
WATCH OUT BOERS (SOUTH AFRICANS) THE ENGLISH ARE LOOKING TO TAKE THEIR SMALL ISLAND BACK
. Gunsss....

Back to Abidjan Skottie , I will confirm on Tuesday evening and mail you, but I am sure everything is under control now as SAA 053 will depart Abidjan 1320 today to arrive Jhb 2115. So I pressume somebody told them the War is over.

Zazoo - she is gr8 - will send you the remains bru Seriously she is on her way to look at investing in a house in my area bru. Will send you a pic (if the camera does not pop)

Have a GR8 day,

Okay Guns me wait


By the way guys it looks like all is not yet calm in Abidjan, I just watched the news on CNN and it looks like some of the mutineers are still fighting back, and fighting tough too from the looks of the pictures on CNN.

Not very reassuring news or pictures

So stay safe and take care of yourselves.
