South Africa

Many of us made some resolutions and postulated aims for 2007. How many of yours came true?

Just like in my real life some of you have made my 2007 memories worth preserving. I’ll be logging off in the next twenty four hours for the rest of the year. I need to do this. Pity that some will not see it, but for those who will – this is from the bottom of my heart……

I’ve never met the following people but have the greatest respect for them. If I trampled on your toes, please accept my apology. I am truly sorry!! DV, Porgie, cakes, HD, Jeez, zxcv, Commodore, Tsepo, MJ, JM, Alfie, Bull and Ayiza…..each one of you had contributed to a better person that I believe I’m at the end of 2007……

……Bull and Alfie, I’ll keep on disagreeing with their philosophy but I thank them for offering good debates. I learnt a lot from them

…..sins, the two of us have scores to settle next year….she always left the best for last

……cakes, if there is a person who should be credited for keeping this section of the forum alive, it’s her….…she deserves a standing ovation!!!

………HD, his story of losing everything he worked for and how he is trying to put himself back again is an inspiration……I am amazed by his positive spirit

…… DV, the wounds are healing but the good memory will linger on

……Porgie, he doesn’t know how I appreciate our “Daffodils” encounter

…Commodore, she commanded her family to bring her laptop to the hospital…that was sweet of her and the lesson was that even in pain, don’t lose touch with those close to you…we are her closest virtual family

…..MJ, I enjoyed his provocative, if not controversial questions….it’s a pity some tended to personalise issues

…….Ayiza, I know that HD said he’ll never forgive him for claiming to be God….but overall I enjoyed your cheekiness and HD was hurt but he is a good person, I believe he has forgiven

……. Tsepo, it never stops amazing me how he comes with those “flashing answers”


Is there any event on YA that has left lasting impression on you?

Many regulars have outdone themselves during the year to keep this forum alive. It is only fair to acknowledge them so I will suggest nine (9) catagories:

1. Most input overall.
2. Most informed answers.
3. Most interesting questions / links provided.
4. Most annoying / argumentative.
5. Most popular / civil /sweet-natured.
6. Most dedicated regular
7. Most laughs provider
8. Most easy-going.
9. Most educative questions

I found this cute little quiz on the Egyption section, so I just borrowed it for SA.
According to this, I am Japanese food, strange yet delicious. Contrary to popular belief, I am not always eaten raw. Lol!

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we tread our cell phones ?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped thtough it several times a day?
What if we used it to reveive messages?
What if we treated it like we can't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as a a gift?
What if we used it as we traveld?
What if we used it in case of an emercency?
What if we upgraded it to the latest version?
Things that makes you go ... hmmm .. where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing .. unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Have a blessed Christmas

When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she assumes she has gained weight. When a man tries on clothing from his closet that feels tight, he assumes the clothing has shrunk.

This is a riddle. You are walking along a road where you encounter two men from two totally different villages. The one village is filled with liars and at the other village everyone tells the truth. You were told to go the village where nobody ever told a lie, because the village with the liars are also cannibals. You were also told to ask only one question to them before you can make up your mind who to believe. What would that question be?

Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

Most South Africans speak English, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll understand what they're talking about. South African English has a flavor all of its own. What words do you know of that is generally accepted as "English"?
