    I lived for 6 years in South Africa 1995 to 2001, i must say i had very mixed feelings about the country. On the one hand, the country itself is really beautiful, and i am not only talking of the cape, but especially the KwaZulu Mountains, the Griqualand and my favourite place George and the Garden Route, on the other hand, i just dont see how this bubble is going to continue the way it is going, the middle class lives the live of very wealthy europeans, i mean in europe you need to be VERY RICH to have you own big house, swimming pool, maid, garden boy etc... The two most things that irritated me is first south africans can`t build houses, thats why i never been so cold in my live then in a Gauteng winter, (i can assure you, in austria when minus 20 degrees outside, i can walk inside with my underpants) and second the constant fear of something terrible is going to happen, crime rate was back then at least so high, it was absurd, within two years, i had three times my car stolen, two break in, and my wife was held hostage in a bank robbery, (which was also the point were i called it a day and left)...

     

    ...but i still dream of Biltong, the Braiis and the Blue Bulls clapping the Sharks ;)

    yup there is no cheaper way to make a limited company in europe :P

     

    to have the same rights with an austrian equivalent Ges.mbH i would need 30 times the amount to actually start it, and the british insolvency law is a beauty...

     

    p.s. just to clarify i might have explained wrong, for the company austrian law is applicaple (including tax), the huge benefit is stated above (but still if i would work from the UK i would pay much less tax)

    ...any particular reason you need more guns? I mean i dont know anyone in my neighbourhood, well to be honest i dont know anyone at all in my province who owns a gun. I would be way too scared if i had two small kids in the house, for having guns around, i assume you do have special locked up place for those weapons? and if so, whats the point, if they are locked up, by the time you need them, it is most probably too late anyway, but i guess this is a cultural thing with americans and guns, so i wont argue, but i still would like to know what kind of actions you take that your kids are not getting hold of it...

     

    cheers

    I am not worried about that at all, you can visit the family you support any time, (plenty of reports on the austrian site from people that visited), you get monthly reports, you can exchange letters with them etc... This is one of the most reputable organizations i know of, and i enjoy to see how my relatively small amount can make such an impact in someone elses life. :blink:

    Hi, Gaius, i appreciate your comments, especially so shortly after the loss...

     

    Well, maybe if you would have been a neutral, or a south african observer, you would have thought different of that try, i have seen this incident many times, and only one camera angle actually made it very clear that Cueto touched the line before the ball was over the line and grounded...

     

    Of course, if that try would have been awarded things might have been different, but i do believe, because of how the tournament went ( with two games that all of a sudden went close Tonga and Fiji), that when things got closer the South Africans were always able to step up...

     

    My (obviously biased) view of the game was that England had to play with 110% and for South Africa it was enough to play with 90%, if things would have gone wrong, there was room for gearing up....

     

    In any case, i congratulate especially the english players how they handled the loss after the game, no whining...

     

    ... i admire rugby player for the general attitude towards loosing and winning!

    Not so sure if begging from regulars is the right way to do things...

     

    ...maybe we find a better way, who knows premium membership, an overly expensive T-Shirt ehhe, but do not worry too much, just keep on be the active wonderful community and things will work out fine...

     

    cheers

    The item about the German surnames being affected by this change is of particular interest to me. Do you have any links to news stories about those Germans who refused to pay their taxes because of the dispute regarding the spelling of their surnames?
