I borrowed a friend's Volkswagen Beetle in 1966 and went for my test. It involved a run around the block and a stop in front of the licencing office--no reversing, no hills, no parking. I did not have to take a learner's licence as I had a motorcycle licence. I'm sure it was the easiest test in South Africa. But, I did know how to drive having done so since the age of
Rather a condom than no condom at all! I think we are being naive by talking about abstinence. The only kids who practise abstinence are those who belong to church groups or are sensible enough to stay away from the back seats of cars. Sex is a hormonal thing and I'll bet that 80 to 90 % of kids in high school/college/university are dating therefore experimenting. I'm reminded of a saying I read in a book on dating: Kissing leads to petting. Pe
I cannot see how you can compare Japan and Germany to Iraq. Saddam, as vicious as he was, did not have the ability or the desire to take on the super powers. He chose easy targets like his own countrymen and Kuwait. We are dealing with inter-tribal rivalry in Iraq now and it could take 10, 20 or 30 years to sort out. Differences between arabs (volatile to the extreme),presents a whole new ball game and the US should consider pulling back to let them so
I'm an outsider but I would ask any contender to tell me whether he, or she, would ever go into a war again without planning for the aftermath. A President should be able to look further ahead than the beach head!
Today I saw a bee and I spoke to it. Yes, I know I'm going senile but a bee is a VIP on my balcony. He arrived and sat on the shutter door and I decided to speak to it. "Hey bee," I said, " Could you perhaps visit my barren cucumber plants and my tomatoes?" Perhaps you can wriggle around a bit and get all that pollen into a frenzy and I'll get some damn fruit. Better
I agree. Probably moisture rather than sand. Take it into the shop--sure they'll help.
I would never have guessed that the pollution could be so bad there. Seems there is little wind or rain to revive the air.
If you can believe Al Sharpton you can believe that the moon is made of green cheese.

Mother Africa is a beautiful continent. Unfortunately it is let down--disgraced actually--by leaders who treat their flock like animals. There are a handful of countries here who rule ruthlessly and stupidly and have learnt no lessons from the past or their neighbours. Many African countries have taken a lead in democratic processes and I am pleased to say that Ghana,
Reagan, perhaps, did not leave much of a legacy but then I doubt whether George Bush will leave any legacy at all. Like Johnson, he will be remembered for a war, and a stupid one at that. He will go down in history as a man, like his cohort Blair, who won a war but did not plan sufficiently to save a nation.
And thanks to shovel for trying Sherry, Durian, Dim sung (great girl), in the back of his 1953 Chrysler. Shovel, I mean it in jest but you are the greatest!
Sorry about the repeats but my feed has slowed to walking pace!

What a great response. Answers tomorrow!
Gee guys, there are few foodies amongst you all. I think no-one has gotten ten out of twenty yet. What about Doc G? Keep at it. Answers on May Day.
As this is my 200th article and I love food and beverage shows on TV, I thought I'd post a quiz as I know Joeusers love these. Rules: Very simple --no Googling or dictionary peeping. Straight off the bat and have a go at my twenty questions. Winner becomes Joeuser "Gourmet" for May! 1. Name three Italian cheeses. 2. What are "petit pois?" 3.
Good cop, bad cop won't play in Iraq. It is a tragic mess.
GW does a mean Toyi toyi (SA speak for dancing and jiggling around). Only thing missing was the quintessential African idiot, Mugabe!
I think I'm going to write a childrens' story about my guppy George. He has to be the strongest guppy I know of. Let me explain: My son and I have shared a fish tank for over a year. We tried guppies and they died like flies. We tried little catfish and they did fairly well for months before turning belly-up too. We tried goldfish and, fortunately, two are still with
Good --short and sweet. I'd do short haul on profanity and long haul on humour!
LW, you look great and SO normal!
Och Aye, Doc. It's the Clan McQueen!
