[Uncle Spud Murphy]

Sawubona Ladies and Gentlemen.

Louis L'Amour once said that "When I die I would like to be remembered as someone who told a good story".

Louis L'Amour passed away on June 10th 1988 but he will live forever because he told a good story.

Duck Rogers has corrected my grammar and spelling mistakes - Dankie.

Sawubona should read Sanibonani meaning more than one person.

Vriendelik should read vriendelike with an e on the end.

Ek is jammer. I take my spelling from the teacher (Before you know it) but other mistakes in spelling or grammar that I make, asseblief don't hesitate to correct me. Dankie again.

Uncle Spud, this is a very good idea. Someone once remarked: When an old man with lots of experience dies, it is like a library burning down! So: to the "experienced" ones out there; -- let`s hear your stories, and let them become timeless voices............ Uncle Spud, one thing about telling the truth, is that sometimes the truth hurts the sensitive. IE, If you throw a stone in the midst of a pack of Dogs, and one of then yelps, the stone have found a mark.
( As jy n klip tussen n klomp honde ingooi en een tjank, het jy hom raak gegooi!)
Leff lives in the mostly arid West-coast region of south Africa. Sometimes, when the rain comes on time and conditions are right, this whole region gets covered in wild flowers. Really a must-see. Please contact me whe you have finally settled in.

Dankie Boet, thank you very much. I was beginning to think that I had got it wrong again. The picture by the way is beautiful, really beautiful.

PS: Boet, you said that "One thing about telling the truth is that sometimes the truth hurts the sensitive and they yelp. Please don't tell me that I have crossed the line again.

I am VERY interested to meet him!!

[Boet]

What I like about him, is his willingness to learn to "dubble-de-clutch"

[AndyG]

But he is ugly and thinks I am a greek god so I will let Jetranger stand between me and him
