Re: Spouse/temporary visa
Tegs, I have a spare if you wish, It was left behind after a rather Debauched party and is only slightly tarnished ,
Hatfield, Naaah, my sharp pointy ears heard a muttering somewhere in the ether about bloody rooineks ducking at the first sign of trouble and then opening their big yaps and I just wanted to check wether I had to trot out 250 odd years of Sarfrican lineage and war stories.
What amb has'nt yet realised is she is part of a master plan hatched at Vereeniging in 1902 where it was decided that if you could'nt beat them, the next best thing was to marry their daughters and then raise the children in the boer tradition with the added bonus that the kids all got British Passports in case old Shaka or Dingaan re-incarnated and got lucky.
Actually, thinking about it, Nonqwaas 's tribe was the one in the end after all.
Shame, and the Practical joke with the sheets and the Whitewash and a bit of Brandewyn in the Drinking water had such tragic consequences.

Re: Spouse/temporary visa
Hi Amb, if you want advice from a genuine British expat who married a Saffa and has just returned from SA after a decade there, here's some: consider whether or not you would have gone to live there if you'd never met your BF.
Would you have been irresistibly drawn to the country, it's landscape, peoples, & cultures on your own account?
If the answer's no, then don't go to SA. It's not just a place in which to get on with your life and conduct your relationships, it is a relationship in it's own right, and it's not always an easy companion. You could be taking on more than you think. How about Oz?

Ta, I accept any halo, even if tarnished. Brasso to the rescue. 
Vereeniging, oh gawd!! She should do a spell in good old Sasolburg as there are gobs of Afrikaans folks still around to test her theory. Just don't drink the water as it has been known to sport a few more lumpy bits than normal.
