    South African (Off-Topic) Quiz

    in South Africa

    Sounds like something you would find hopping around in the Australian outback

    hehehe Cincol, it is believed that the Chupacabra hops like a kangaroo... but does not look anything like it though. ..and I haven't read anything about sightings in Aus. :D

     

    ..woman's underwear ..

    Hmm - I think q&a about womens' undies may be answered too easily LOL :P

     

    A chupacabra falls into the realm of crypto zooolgy much like nessie, yeti and bigfoot. It is mythical dog like beast that gets sighted every so often. My research is failing me at this stage as to which country or even which continent. But I would say the Americas.

     

    A chupacabra is a legendary hairless dog-like creature, reported to attack and drink all the blood of livestock - making one or more small holes in the animal. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear – stands and hops like a kangaroo. It has a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail, dog- or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs.

    Sightings reported early in 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile.

     

    So, well done trevorh7000!! You're it!! :Dthis was fun!!! :)

    N.P.van Wyk Louw (en sy jonger boetie W.E.G. Louw)

     

    Serenade vir ‘n Sutherlander:

    Deur: Nerine Potgieter; Nataly Rabe; Lucinda van Rooyen; Vicki Henning (2002)

     

    Meneer? Mevrou? Kan U hom nog onthou?

    Wyle digter en skrywer mnr. N.P. van Wyk Louw?

    Op 11Junie 1906 op Sutherland gebore,

    Saam met jonger broer vir die digkuns beskore.

     

    Op Sutherland gewoon en geskool tot ouderdom dertien,

    Tot die gesin groener weivelde in Kaapstad sien.

    Vanaf 1923 gestudeer vir die grade MA en BEd,

    Wat hy aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad behaal het.

     

    Na slegs ‘n jaar in die onderwys, met skud op die blad,

    Aangestel as lektor in die dept. Opv. aan Universiteit Kaapstad.

    In 1950 aanvaar hy ‘n professoraat in Amsterdam,

    1958 neem hy dieselfde pos by Universiteit Witwatersrand aan.

     

    Maar mnr. N.P. van Wyk Louw, waar lê jou sterkte?

    Dit lê in al my wonderlike werke:

    Hy was een van die mede-stigters van die lit. tydskrif Standpunte

    En reeds met sy eerste bundel : Aleenspraak as beste van die 30’s bevinde

     

    O, en hy was tog so bly,

    Om die Hertzogprys 5 keer te kry.

    Hy skryf ook opstelle oor sy opvattings in sy vrye tyd

    Omtrent kuns, kultuur en nasionale bewustheid.

     

    Dankie vir Internet en biblioteke,

    Hier lê digtersskatte versteke,

    Pragstukke soos in sy laaste bundel Tristia is iets van die verlede

    Hy is op 18 Junie 1970 in Johannesburg oorlede.

    Big Event

    in South Africa

    Posted

    Team Ginger is always ready to go caching (well, um - just after October please! hehe).

     

    I am a competitive person by default, I love the adrenalin, but I don't care much about the final positions. Yes, quality is much more important than the quantity. :(

    I would therefore attend any event organised, whether competitive or not. We've been in the top 5 and bottom 5 at events - depending on the team and the mood on the day. hehe

     

    I was part of the organising of the Midrand Event too - so could assist if there are questions. It takes a lot of time and planning - especially if you want to place sensible caches that could last after the event.

    Be careful about the area you select and good luck!! :D

     

    If it's happening after October - we're definately interested! :)

    Thank you so much for all the congratulations on our engagement - on and off the forums. We've been blessed with love and with many friends to share in our happiness.

    Ginger will be wearing a white dress one of these days and then Team Ginger will enjoy many more hikes and cache finds thereafter. :( Cheers!

    2009 Great SA TB Race

    in South Africa

    Posted

    Um, well, there goes my plan of taking my TB to the zoo before placing it... no fair!!!! :unsure: My plan was to get a good start by posting many photos of my racer with different animals. The rules didn't say how many initially... but ok, ok - I'll let it go.... :D

     

    Guys, my life is a bit too hectic at the moment. Is anyone close to Roodepoort/Midrand/Woodmead who is prepared to take the 3 poor disadvantaged TBs I have with me and let them loose? Pleeease guys - help.

     

    I'm sorry that I am letting those racers down (mine also in the process). At the moment, I'm just 'planning' to cache and is just not working out as planned every time. :cool:

     

    Give us some time to finish house building and get the wedding over with - if we survive this all - hehehe of course we wil (and enjoying it much!!!!) - we'll be back with a vengeance!! :D

     

    Thanks for understanding!

    Congrats to Redglobe, Urban Hunters and GerhardOos for being the only ones to be able to hunt for the FTF on the final cache. Congrats to Redglobe on the FTF.

    Ditto!!!

     

    We will certainly complete this series and find the final cache, although it might take us one more year.

    Hopefully only one more for us as well. :D

     

    We will also update our TD cache listing to show the final cache.

    Good idea!!
