Standing On A Soap Box
When I was a child you could stand on a soap box on Piccadilly Square and shout out all your grudges – or so I heard – and very soon you would have a crowd of sympathetic ears. And if you did it often and loud enough, the people would gather even before you arrived to spread your poison.Of late, if you have a grudge against men, or a grudge against women, or religion or just anything; even just a grudge against somebody you don’t know, you go on line, find a site where you can blog and shout it out. And in true Piccadilly Square style, very soon you will have a fan club to endorse your view.
When I first joined CS in January last year, it was the blogs that got me hooked. Yes, there were the niggles in between but we were having fun most of the time. Somehow that fun has deteriorated to the point where we see too much unhappiness. This is not the place for hate speech.
What is the mucking fatter with the people? This is supposed to be a dating site that should be bubbling with joy and pleasure but instead, all we ever hucking fear, is a bunch of mucking foans. What does it matter if a few tucking frolls want to spoil the shucking fow?
Let’s have some fun again for a change. So come tell me what you need and I will tell you how to get on without it.

What is the alcohol content of your beers?
Are you telling me that you have beer that has an alcohol content of up to 9%? The strongest we have here is 5.5%. Some of our ciders are a bit stronger.
Are you sure? Don't be shy to speak out. Just tell me what you need and I'll tell you how to make do without it.
No wonder the stuff here fills me before I'm drunk.
Yes, out three main brands here (all made by the same brewery) are 4.5%, 5% and 5.5% which is the maximum that the law allows.
Something funny; If you buy the same brand in Johannesburg it taste different than in Cape Town. Must be the water.
No problem then. Perhaps I can sell you some used R10 notes? They are going for a song at R20 each. A real bargain.
That is why I don't like beer. You have to drink a case of it before you get any alcohol in your veins.
But after all years and years passed …
Gold, magic mill
Waves wings in a distant distance! .
Reminding us our childhood.
Yes, in SA we refer to all as beer but most of what we buy in the shops are lager. Only the 6% job is not a lager. Would that be an ale then?
So very sweet of you to drop in. Why do we so so little of you lately?
I reckon 17% is a flying start taking into consideration that our local brandies are 43%.
Yes, time is always a factor. It was great seeing you again.
I used to make beer a long time ago. Terrible stuff! I read in one of the pamphlets that the main difference between a lager and an ale is that there are no hops in an ale. Our bottles of 'beer' are labeled lager or ale. The only exception is the 6% job I mentioned earlier. The label on the bottle says 'Beer'. My explanation to that is that without that label nobody will know what it is.
Heyyyyyy! Ummka..........
I must add, I'm not sure if this stuff was 98% but it was the brandname on the bottle, but it was potent. That is for sure.
You spoke him, up!.....
Yes, it is a pity the pages are so small.
It is always good to see somebody laughing. I'm glad he could speak to you in between all the laughing.
Have you been peeping at me. You have just described me when I battle to see things.
That all sounds so coooold. I'm sitting like an old man wit a duvet over my legs.
Sitting in a tee and bare footed with a snoring dog on the couch. Hope to do something about my tan during the week.
We will resume this conversation in three months' time.
