WILDCAT Posted March 11, 2006 I cannot wait to go back for a holiday and and speak nothing but my mother tongue, and feel part of the majority rather than a puny, disliked minority... Oh and of course to tell the dhalinyaro, magnificent tales of what it's really like here... for example, my personal income has to be moved around with majarafat, what with there being so much you know... and I shall personally de-flower the pick of the bushmen boodhle youth... After all , what is a British holiday without a holiday romance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
