No not an animal. Although we do refer to other people in her line of work as 'a bunch of monkeys'!

She is the top lady in her organization.

OK - nice one - didn't know that.

 

Also on names of famous S Africans - who was James Mervyn Nicholson better known as - and what was his claim to fame?

 

Skonk

Posted

Yep - cincol you're it - Skonk Nicholson passed away a few weeks back - but was one of the most sucessful schoolboy rugby coaches in SA during the 1940's - 1980's - based in Maritzburg.

He was also one of my geography teachers in his last year at Maritzburg College

So is it a man? If so I would say maybe Jimmy Connors? Or the foul mouthed one... who's name now eludes me.... er um... F*#@ who was he...

 

LoL er... John McEnroe....

 

Although I don't think they had the most of the men.

 

I actually remember that Martina had a lot but remember that Billy Jean King was also quite high up. Didn't realise that they both had the same amount and so many...

 

Just thinking didn't Pete Sampras also win a few.... 6 or 7. Geeze now I am muddled up?

I must say that would be interesting... but that is a no show.... you might not see this coming, nor did Mike actually.... LoL

Will give it to you, but wait for this Miracle Mike the chicken was never going to be the dinner he was destined to be... His owner had him on the chopping block but the axe cut just the wrong (Or was that the right) place. The chicken as usual ran round sans it's head and the next day the farmer found it.... Head under it's wing... The chicken went on to live not only for a few days... it went on to live 18 months without it's head... Read the story here.....

Wow - now that is some really "worthwhile" trivia. Excellent question. Lucky guess - thanks for the direction :).

 

OK - Lucien & Erik Windrich and Wayne Harker are better known as.......?

Well I will rule out Qkumba Zoo as I know the members, it ain't Mango Groove as there are half a milion members... Try think of a band with three members... Not freshly ground... I am working on the number of members... not Ballyhoo Perhaps... although again I think there were more?

Not as old as the original Ballyhoo - but gone (from SA) by the time ballyhoo had another radio hit in the late 80's. But then again - these guys (well at least the 2 brothers) are still plying their trade on the world music circuit in Europe currently.

Eish, older than the original Ballyhoo... Was thinking brothers and Locnville for a second. And gone from sa before the late 80's mmm still playing.

Springbok Nude Girls.... They played at U2 in Feb.....

 

Clout? LoL... Now I am pulling straws here...

 

Someone else, please my head is wracked over who all the bands were in the 80's...

None of those - they were often reffered to as the first Afro-punk outfit. They left SA to miss conscription - and one of the band members was arrested for being AWOL when they returned to play the Grahamstown Festival in 85 or 86.

DCB - eVoid it is - I see that in Wazat's who's who of SA music he actually mentioned e'Void.

 

Sorry I missed it.

 

So Wazat - it's your go. - But DCB - you spotted the mistake - so first come first serve between the 2 of you

Posted

Oh man I loved eVoid's Shadows.... amazing song, still love it as much now as I do back then.... Think I must pull the CD's out my cupboard and find it...

 

OK... Um. Who is Sa Geocacher on Facebook... Man it is driving a few of us up the wall.....

No actually how can I say who has the right answer to that.... when I don't have a clue...

 

Frank Hayes was a jockey in the 1920's but is last race was won in one of the weirdest ways ever. What happened?
