+cownchicken Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited April 19, 2011 by cownchicken
+cownchicken Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 You are it CH. Helen Zille (legal name Otta Helene Maree née Zille)
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 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?
+cincol Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 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
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 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
+DamhuisClan Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 I think I know ... is her name perhaps Patricia? ... Patricia Delille?
+cincol Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Wazat - I will concede, but you are only half correct. Billie Jean King and Martina both won 20 titles!!!!
+Wazat Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) 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? Edited April 21, 2011 by Wazat
+cincol Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Post a question wazat and quit the rambling!!!! BTW, Roger Federer has the most men's titles but far short of the ladies.
+Wazat Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Nope, but he had a bit in common with regards to body parts been removed. Edited April 24, 2011 by Wazat
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 a cow or sheep born with 2 heads? and one was removed? I seem to recall something bizarre like that
+Wazat Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Actually close but like they say two heads is better than none.... But not your answer... ;-)
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Too cryptic - running out of guesses. How about an animal with healing powers that became a Saint?
+Wazat Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Well we are on the right thing... but no healing powers... certainly an animal but what are we missing here?
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 A show jumping horse with a prosthetic leg?
+Wazat Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I must say that would be interesting... but that is a no show.... you might not see this coming, nor did Mike actually.... LoL
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Hmmm - I was going to guess a blind wild animal that they found living a "normal" life in a game reserve?
+Wazat Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Haa haa... you guys are much like Mike, running round blindly in circles.... Still not right...
+Wazat Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Ah ha..... now we are getting somewhere... but what about it?
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The chicken that lived for a few hours or days without his head? Longest living chicken without a head?
+Wazat Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 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.....
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 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.......?
+Wazat Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Members of a South African band.... the name escapes me...
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Yes - you have it - but what is the band name?
+Wazat Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 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?
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited April 27, 2011 by Carbon Hunter
+Wazat Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 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.
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 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. Sorry .... my mistake - NOT as old as the original Ballyhoo
+Wazat Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 OK Battery 9, eVoid. er..... who else... The outsiders... Nah... give up
+Wazat Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) 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... Edited April 27, 2011 by Wazat
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 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.
+Discombob Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Although i guess they are more Gothic. I would have though eVoid would have been the first afro punk band, but i guess not!
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 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
+Wazat Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 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?
+Discombob Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 The horse fell right at the end, so the jockey jumped off and ran across the line?
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 He was dragged across the line hanging in the stirrups?
