I am going down the EC in Jan and my mother is freaking out [05:25] I just want to take a greyhound down, and she is insisting that I take a flight [05:25] tell her busses cant fall out of the sky [05:26] She heard that busses collide in the Eastern Cape, therefore all busses that drive to EC will collide [05:27] lol [05:27] It is like R525 for a bus and R1922 for a flight [05:27] doh [05:27] for how long are you going there [05:27] Just two or three weeks [05:27] Visiting a friend [05:27] ah [05:27] If I go with SAA, it is R5k [05:28] Almost 6 [05:28] f that [05:28] wow [05:28] haha [05:28] i can buy lots of pc stuff with 5k [05:28] Hmm. I am pretty sure that this website is lost though [05:28] According to it, it is a 5 hour flight from Lanseria to East London [05:29] about 1 to 1 1/2 hours [05:29] my sis flys from jhb to windhoek in under 2 hours [05:30] depending on head winds they say hehe [05:31] rebooting za.archive btw, should be back online in the next 4 to 8 minutes [05:31] which is how long that thing takes to reboot ;p [05:32] thats fast Symmetria it was very sick yesterday, waiting for headers [05:32] Another site saying that it takes 5 hours to get to EL [05:32] what the hell [05:32] haha [05:32] kilos hrm, you shoulda messaged me if it was giving problems [05:32] There are even flights where there are stops in [05:33] i will if im not busy installing from scratch [05:33] gremble heh, lanseria to east london if you're on any form of decent plane takes no longer than an hour and a half [05:33] heh, I flew joburg east london like 30 times last year [05:34] ok its back online [05:34] hi bduk1 [05:34] Symmetria: Here is a flight that takes 23 hours [05:34] :P [05:34] Apparently there is a long layover in CPT [05:34] what the actual fuck [05:34] :P [05:34] More Kilos and others [05:35] gremble why not just fly direct via or tambo? [05:35] heh and why are you going to slummies anyway :) [05:35] Going to Port Alfred to visit a friend [05:35] there is nothing there ;p trust me, I grew up in that shithole :) [05:35] Haha I'm not going for the place [05:35] :P [05:36] gremble, why not just fly to port elizabeth then? same distance from PE to port alfred as it is from port alfred to east london [05:36] and roads from PE -> Port Alfred are better ;p [05:36] its exactly in the middle :) [05:36] The map says no. Haha But I can try [05:36] gremble trust me, its dead centre, I drove that road allllll the time :) [05:37] It is still R2k a ticket [05:37] 2k return? that aint bad ;p [05:38] For me it is [05:38] haha [05:38] lol, well, by comparison with flying anywhere else I mean [05:38] Haha Ya. I think I will just take the bus [05:39] I can read, so the 14 hours really isnt that bad [05:39] heh I did 29 return trips last year to kenya from east london, it cost the company who was paying for it 320 thousand rand all in all ;p [05:39] Impressive that you are worth that much to them :P [05:39] gremble haha, that excludes the 100 thousand dollars in hotel bills over the same period [05:39] And your own salary [05:40] after that I moved to Kenya ;p [05:40] gremble haha we wont talk about that ;p [05:40] heh eventually convinced the company it was cheaper to just buy me a car in Kenya, rent me a nice house and have me live here ;p [05:40] Haha I wasn't asking about it. [05:40] Where in Kenya? [05:41] and since company has crazy housing allowance policy that says no matter which country an expat is going to, the housing allowance is always the same, and they have people as expats in london, lol, the house I got in kenya is niceeeeeeeee ;p [05:41] heh, Im living in Nairobi now [05:41] my house has 3 jacuzzi's in it ;p why? I have no idea, since I can only use one ;p but since housing allowances are always a case of, use it or loose it ;p may as well ;p [05:42] Who builds a house with 6 jacuzzi's? [05:42] 3* [05:42] wow [05:43] haha its got 5 bedrooms, all of them have onsuite bathrooms, and 3 of those bathrooms have jacuzzi's [05:43] and lol even my office has an on-suite bathroom with a nice shower in it :) [05:43] * Symmetria loves kenya ;p [05:44] Your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend/realdoll must also be quite impressed [05:44] I should have kept with significant other [05:45] wouldve kept that sentence shorter [05:48] Kilos, I'm doing just fine :) [05:48] heh fiance actually ;p [05:48] talking about fiance, lol, I got my dowry ceremony on the 6th of december [05:48] worried as shit about that [05:49] I dunno what that is [05:51] hahaha [05:53] Downry ceremony? What does that entail? [05:56] If I recall correctly, a Dowry is a gift that the husband to be gets along with the wife (Possibly because he needs to get paid to marry her :P) [05:57] lol [05:58] i thought a dowry was something the wife takes with her into the marriage [05:58] "something the wife takes with her into the marriage" [05:58] like a chest full of things [05:58] or is that trouseau [05:59] "here, I come with this: Some plates, leather upholstry and a 3 month warrenty" [05:59] ya like that [05:59] :P [05:59] used to be bedding and curtains and lots of stuff for the home i think [06:00] and some cows and goats and chickens [06:00] hehe [06:00] heh depends [06:00] on the culture [06:00] in African culture, dowry = labola [06:00] Still looks like the husband is getting paid to take her off of her father's hands [06:00] :P [06:01] = money paid by the guy to compensate the family for loss of income from the daughter :) [06:01] eeek [06:01] and its complicated [06:01] because the guy doesnt even get to be in the negotiations ;p the guy sends in a representative to negotiate with her family [06:01] and is bound by whatever is negotiated [06:02] Lol [06:02] good way to get poor fast [06:02] (oh, and under kenyan law, the moment that ceremony is completed, you're legally married under traditional law, when you have your formal wedding etc, it moves from being a traditional marriage to a normal marriage, but you're still married after it) [06:03] It is all interesting, but I don't do well with culture. [06:03] :P [06:03] kilos lol, thats why I have a sane girlfriend with a sane family, she violated tradition and had a... quiet chat with her father and told him to go easy cause the money is coming outta the honeymoon budget ;p [06:03] still end up costing 20 or 30 grand though [06:03] woah good lord [06:03] Well, that's fast. A family member walks in, negotiates a sum and you instantly become married after that. [06:03] I'd probably freak out. [06:03] hehe [06:04] I would freak out after the 4 0's :P [06:04] Anyway, cheers [06:04] I have to go write now [06:04] gremble haha, sanity prevails you're looking at 20 or 30 grand [06:04] Ive seen it go way higher than that though [06:04] good luck gremble [06:04] I know guys who have been into the 100's of thousands of rands ;p [06:04] woman = bloody expensive ;p [06:04] I don't think I will be getting one of those then [06:04] Eh, I realized that if I ever get a six pack abs, I'd probably go around and ask random strangers to feel them. So I might not freak out. I might freak out other people though. [06:05] lol [06:05] "sir/madam, please feel my belly" [06:06] Fat bastard impersonation while paraphrasing his line. [06:06] Fee'l mah belly! [06:07] wonderful to wake up in the morning to a storm and some rain [06:07] 3mm so far [06:07] looks like its coming from kenya [06:07] You know, I just realized something. Mike Myers uses the same voice for Shrek that he does for Fat Bastard.
