I have worked in 7 of the top 10 and I laaaaik it here

[Thatchman]

Gotta love how all those that leave SA continously try to convince themselves that they have done the right thing.

Thatch - You call it as it is my brother Man, I like that about you.

Ja - It sucks here in no.129 - Tonight I will braai steaks and drink KWV 10 year old, watch the sun go down and tommorow morning I will fly to Harties, Roodekoppies and Vaalkop

SA is alright

Plus I have had one and don't like no.2's microlights - Sorry I was thinking out loud, I apologise

Best quality of life? For an employed middle, or upper class citizen, you just can't beat good old RSA!

For the majoritiy of the citizens though, life is really tough - which is why I assume we ranked so low.

Wed/Thurs we did a 1600km X country flight. We decided to go on Tuesday. No transponder, no flight plan plenty formo flying, low level playing, plenty hangar talk, biltong braai vlies and sunny skies... . Awesome. Try do that in any one of the top 10, even with 3 months of planning and athorisations...... (With exception of MAYBE OZ)

[Low Level]

Think both of you have a point there.

Mmmm, that could easily be changed to Gotta love how all those that stay in SA continously try to convince themselves that they have done the right thing.
The truth is life is what you make it, I've left SA and live in Sweden (#7 on The List) but I don't try to convince myself of anything. You won't find me slagging off SA or the folk who choose to live there. And I get annoyed by those that have left and complain about SA (and usually also about where they moved to!). Some people just like to b*tch and moan.

Enjoy your life, where you live and do the best with what you have. Can't really ask for more.

At least our Tri-nations finish is better than our quality of life listing

[Tumbleweed]

You can pump out as much stats as you want, depending on your motive.

Sure, we rank amongst the highest in others, but that feeling when you land back on SA soil, as blurted out by a serious boertjie when the customs oussie was giving him a hard time" Jy's so oulik ek gee jou sommer n' drukkie" had the crowd shrieking and the giggly official reduced to stamping double quick time.

We also have klippies & coke, the mountain and Julius Malema

I know I have done the right thing and don't need to convince myself at all. I do still miss SA and what we had there, but will never look back.
