    Songs That Take You Back

    This underwent a recent tiktok revival. The original lyrics are... significantly more appropriate.

    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    Look, Amsterdam is far from the authentically Dutch experience you'll get outside the Randstad, no doubt. But outside the main tourist spots it's a wonderful city. There are likely more internationals in Amsterdam than there are Dutch people, but that's one of the benefits. Earning euros while...

    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    Allow me to bring some balance to this statement, since it's not accurate. First, context. I've lived in NL for 4.5 years total, 2.5 years in Amsterdam. During that time I've lived in Rotterdam (Kralingen), Schiedam, The Hague and Amsterdam. We regularly stay overnight with South African and...

    Forumite On Forumite Action

    The son of man needs to forge his own life, even if the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Is he rich yet? That would really help me finish buying this pack of smokes. That was me. Some lighthearted banter which proved to be the last straw and kicked off the flounce. I hope him and...

    Forumite On Forumite Action

    I haven't been to MyBB in a while and wondered if I missed anything. This thread confirms I have not. Are you talking about Mr OG sugartits @GreGorGy , or the guy I chased away by calling his girlfriend sugartits? (Think it was Baron, or some such thing).

    South Africans are plotting a move to these countries

    Italy at number 5? Clearly all the rich people who want to retire somewhere pretty. Job prospects there for young/mid-career professionals are weak. It seems half of Italy's 20-somethings are in the Netherlands either studying or working.

    ‘Free Jacob Zuma’ protests take fiery turn as 25 trucks burnt in KZN

    I do think you're right about the organisation of all of this. And I totally agree that you need to draw a line in the sand at some point. But I do wonder about the criminal elements becoming bolder. It was clear that many taking part in this were doing so out of opportunity more than support...

    ‘Free Jacob Zuma’ protests take fiery turn as 25 trucks burnt in KZN

    I get that, though we should probably look at why SAPS are failing badly. Complicit members taking part in looting? Probably. Severely undertrained for this type of engagement? Probably. Severely understaffed and faced with overwhelming opposition to the point where non-active staff were...

    ‘Free Jacob Zuma’ protests take fiery turn as 25 trucks burnt in KZN

    A show of force can act as a powerful deterrent at times, "walking with a big stick" and all that. I get where you're coming from with the "might as well stay at home" comment, but another angle to consider is it's not always about the shooting. That should always remain a last resort when...

    ‘Free Jacob Zuma’ protests take fiery turn as 25 trucks burnt in KZN

    Hard to watch this from the other side of the world. Thankfully my family don't live in affected areas but what I've seen and heard over WA and Twitter has been rough. Difficult to see what 2500 SANDF will do, but at the very least I hope it removes the need for community protection. As vital...

    MyBB'ers in the Netherlands

    You don't hang out with enough locals yet. ;) More lols to be found over at The Amsterdam Shallow Man. 9292 is a waste of time IMHO, Google maps ftw unless there are delays, then I find the NS app better.

    Who do you look like?

    With a better hairline, though I do share a taste for Giants' titty milk. You've been here for 5 years... how do you still look 15?

    Who do you look like?

    Still look like this, just add in a massive (and very grey) beard. Voila reckons I look like this:
