Rofl, mine too.

I must say I love Kudu and Ostrich biltong.

I'll swap anyday. Not a big beer drinker unless it's in shandy, and then the beer used doesn't make much difference to me.

Nope - won't do ostrich either. (cue sexist gag about long-legged birds)....

Deal. I'll be bringing a dead kudu on SAA (and playing spot the difference with the stewardesses). In return, please have 12 crates of stella at Heathrow. I need to make my ex-wife look pretty, and that should just about do it.

PMSL @ your ex-wife!!! Good luck bringing the Kudu through Oliver Tambo and Heathrow. Security was pretty tight last time we flew. They even had sniffer dogs checking for 'prohibited items'. We weren't allowed any containers over 100ml's and we both had our deodorant confiscated. Boy did we smell pretty the next day.

If you make it this far, then you deserve more than 12 crates, although I'll be outside the airport, or they may just take all but 2 crates off me.

I had a stew once made from kudu too and it was delicious.

Btw, have you ever had crocodile? Very interesting taste, I've had it twice.

Tastes more like a combo of chicken and fish to me. I had it at the Crocodile farm in Ramsgate.

Come on - you know you got your butt kicked and the boks were rusty and hardly got out of 2nd gear. don't become like the Kiwis and their"food poisoning" excuse, just take your hiding like a man (god knows I've had to for the boks many a time).

Check out what happened in the super14(final both SA teams) I think its going to be our turn again, bring on the world cup

Sorry, if you continue to bully me in this way I'll have to report you to a moderator!! I agree - we were whipped and it's not looking good for France. Saturday could be worse with Robbo out and half the team crying off sick. Wimps. I kinda hope you win the world cup - the vitriol aimed at any South African team / individual when they don't win is pretty spiteful. Els is continually called a loser here - the guy's won majors and has been in the top 5 for 10 years! The cricket team were vilified and they got beaten by the best team ever in the semis. The football team......oh - fair enough...

Did you say "bring me crocodile, and make it snappy?"
