    Puma @ 156

    I have no idea who plays for them. I just guesed they would win, and when i saw almost everyone else picked Canada i was very worried.

    Then they won to my delight, and sommer by plenty. Will have to choose them again.

    The Ras Dumisani saga rumbles on, there is a facebook page for him. My favourite quote from him was that people congratulated him on his rendition of your anthem!!!

    Those people were probably in shock!

    Carol the Cheetahs will be released into the reserve on the 4th of December.
    I hope to be there.

    Carol
    He was interviewed on several SA radio stations and sang the Anthem again, again making a total cockup of it.
    Make no mistakes, I think he’s shows are fully bookied way beyond 2010.

    159 – Snoek this time I went with the Japs. 😀

    160 – Just hope no-one ever sings our anthem so horrible again. Actually watching it again had such a laugh at the time was angry. Think that oke was drunk or stoned too…hehe. He was useless 😆

    166@ Snoek – We all know you’re “OFF”. You’ve been off for some time, stinkvis!

  • 170

    161 – Snoek 😉 Please don’t let me hold you back!

    162 – superbul – great camera at the ready…..they have changed so much in the last few weeks those little cheetahs, what are their chances of survival? Will they go to a feeding station for a while after release?

    163 – Ishigidi, give me the words on a bit of paper and even I could make a better job than him!! Is he a Cape Town Rasta or does he live abroad?

  • 171

    Enjoy your viewing chaps….see you all soon!

  • 172

    170@ Carol – He’s a Rasta from somewhere in rural KwaZulu Natal, now living in Frogland.. apparently.

    I think their best chance is near the Lodge, but i am worried, they might be to friendly to the wild Lions. But in nature only one normally survives. I will find a save home for them, i know of a new breeding project in conjunction with a school education group.
