(1700) Evening all.

 

18. Superbowl’s just starting

Which team and I betting on? Neither. Which supporting? Quite like the green colour. Plus they seem underdogs. There’s apparently some singer there too pretending to be a virgin.

17. In a slight bind

… in that I’d like to run some memes and other lighter things late in the day but just scoured Gab and X and it’s pretty humourless. Worse would be starting Monday with all the gruesome fayre. There are two immediate issues I’ve material on … South Africa, where the ANC has gone full payback on the Boer, and Ireland, where the first “Palestinians” are about to be dumped.

With the Afrikaners, it’s complex. The Boer is the farmer and cropper, husbander … the ANC does nothing but steal and kill. Yet many Boers are asking DJT to help them stay there on their farms, not seek asylum in the States. How?

Going back to Chuckles’s days, he and haiku were in Kwazulu Natal, where I was given to ustd that Rorke’s Drift is now long forgotten. However, apparently the crime stats are almost as bad, e.g. in Durban. Maybe it’s the Oz factor but, though the steppe and hills seem wonderful down there … I can see why they’d love the land itself … just how they can stand being swamped is beyond me. Then again, I could never ustd the Raj in India. And after having almost been kidnapped in Egypt, I can’t ustd wanting to go there.

We had friends, my parents did, who were in the diamond biz in SA … never u’stood, me, what all the world-fuss was about. Also Rhodesia and Kenya. Had a think about the apartheid thing … just didn’t feel strongly one way or the other, when young … feel more strongly now.

I can’t see how the Boers can stay there much longer … do they want their families tortured and slaughtered? As for North Africa and the Arab lands … no thanks. I’m thinking the Boers would feel more at home in Queensland, more their type of people, not down south … Sydney and Melbourne sound like they’ve fallen, like London, Brummieland and Bradford. Manchester now too.

Anyway, enough of that.
