What was the name of Lucky Luke’s horse? I am 99% sure that I’m correct in saying that it was Jolly, but still people argue with me… Anyone else got any ideas?
I can still remember this cartoon’s theme song… LOL
It was definitely one of my favourites, that, along with Moomin. Loved it!

I love that song. Most SA readers will know this song, but for international visitors who would like to know what I’m on about, check the video on Youtube. I love the Parlotones and I need to buy their new album, but as I was going through my playlist this morning, I can across “Dragonflies and Astronauts” again. Such a nice song.
I’m really taken aback by the South African bands lately. Prime Circle’s latest CD is really good, and I simply LOVE it. Still Parlotones are a bit higher on my rank list – I really need to get to the shops for their latest CD.

Every now and again one person in society shocks people around them so much, that they literally don’t know what to say. There’s a stunned silence, and then suddenly people start getting their opinions together and then lash out at that person.
We’re probably all like that: If we hear of something, or see something that is totally against everything we believe in, we don’t keep quiet. We fight. We will do everything in our power stop this person, or convince them that they’re in the wrong.
For the first time today, I read about Mr.Fayzal Mahamed’s weird philosophy. (Please be warned that link is for adults only in my opinion.) This man from Johannesburg, South Africa has written on various blogs and forums why exactly it is he masturbates his son who suffers from severe cerebral palsy. To me this is just so sick. I feel that this poor child should be moved to place where he can be cared for in a decent legal way, and the time spent with his father should be monitored by someone. I can’t believe that people are actually justifying this act! This is nothing less than rape!!
January 22nd, 2008 — Blog, Dizzy Dee, South Africa
I have my blog listed on Amatomu, a blog directory specifically for South African blogs, today, as I was checking my rank, I saw I was 11th. It wasn’t until a friend pointed it out that I saw I beat Steve Hofmeyr’s blog by 3 places!?!? Can you believe that?! For the internation readers, Steve is a local artist (quite popular too!).
Obviously I’m not a household name as he is – after all he starred in “Agter Elke Man” nearly 3 decades ago, where he stole a lot of hearts as “Bruce”. He’s also been on 7de Laan, a local soap opera (Translated … LOL… 7th Avenue? Haha, that sounds too funny!!) as the crim with whom Paula fell in love.
Well today, my blog is making history – even if its just my opinion!
I never dreamt my blog would beat “Steve se spoeg blok”.

South Africa’s national anthem, “Nkosi Sikeleli Africa” will be replaced with “Hello darkness my old friend” composed for you by Eishkom.
Welcome to our world, pitchblack and powerless!

Last weekend we went to China mart, otherwise known as China Town. It was an experience and a half. I’ve never been there, and its in the middle of JHB city, I suppose not quite in the middle, but close enough for me! 
(I don’t know Jo’burg very well )
We went to look for some beads and marble pebbles, and found a whole load of those, and a bunch of other things too. This weekend we’re going there again, and possibly taking my sister with. Its just something that we’re not really used to I suppose. Sounds pretty lame though. LOL.
After having spent half the day walking around, staring at all the shops in amazement (probably with our mouths wide open), we decided to eat something since we were a little hungry. We walked around the Chinese restaurants, in search for something we like. But you can see right through to the kitchens, and it was absolutely horrifying to even THINK about eating something that came out of a filty kitchen like that – fat spattered all over the wall, and the extracter fan was clearly working overtime. It literally looked like grease dripping off the walls!!! We both lost our apetite fairly quickly, and left.
Once we could stomach the thought of food, we decided to stop at the BJ’s restaurant which is built over the N1 highway, and we had burgers there. Not that I think the kitchens were really cleaner, but at least I couldn’t see it!

Two recent court cases, have earned the attention of newspaper readers in South Africa
1. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV license.
2. Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.
The moral of this South African story:
If you do not have a TV license and the inspector comes round, kill him.
You’ll save R500.
….It’s the Right Thing To Do….

Anyone who has dreamt of being independant and successful in the business world, has probably also considered a Small Business Loan. Because lets face it, not all of us walk around with the spare cash to start up our own business!
I have thought about something like this, but each time I seem to run into the same wall: money.
If I had my way, I would love to busy myself with crafts, of all sorts. I love working with papers and beads, and glue… Its so rewarding to see what you’ve accomplished at the end. I’ve decided against this for various reasons, and I’m in a job that I like now, but if I had to analyze properly, its probably not my REAL passion.
I’ve found EZ Unsecured, and they offer an easy process, fast funding and great service.
I think I’m gonna have to reconsider! – Or at least look at it when I have kids one day. I’ll definitely need SOMETHING to do from home!:P
October 22nd, 2007 — Dizzy Dee, Rugby, South Africa, Sport, Worldcup
I don’t like sport really. Not to watch, and not to participate. But on Saturday it was the rugby world cup final, and South Africa was playing against England. People started getting ready for the game early on Saturday already — some people painted their faces, and cars with the SA flag, and some slogans like “Go Bokke”…
In the afternoon they started driving up and down the streets, hooting (honking?), and screaming, singing and dancing, and of course – buying loads of booze. The truth is, South Africans started partying long before the game started, cause we all knew that we were going to win. Or if we didn’t know, maybe we hoped so much that it just had to come true…
Though it was not the best rugby game ever, (there wasn’t even ONE tri!), South Africa still won, which was the whole point!
So this post is entirely dedicated to the South African Springboks, champions of the world cup 2007
We are proud of you!!

“PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STICKY POST WHICH WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP UNTIL THE ROOIBOS TEA COMPETITION IS OVER [31 OCT 2007], AND NEW POSTS WILL ONLY APPEAR BELOW THIS ONE!!!”
After Beth mentioned that there was Rooibos tea for sale on e-bay, I had a (just kidding). But really now, I will send three readers from abroad a packet Rooibos tea each. I won’t send to South Africa, or neighbouring countries, as this is senseless. The whole point is to give the international readers the opportunity to try Rooibos. I will pay for the shipping, but you will be responsible for import tax if applicable, as this is only charged when the parcel is picked up from your post office (works that way in South Africa in any case). The winners will be selected randomly by myself on the 31st of October @ 6pm GMT+2, and the winners will be announced shortly afterwards. The parcels will be sent out a.s.a.p. after that – depending on how quickly you provide me with your mailing address. Your real name, mailing address, and any other personal information will be kept confidential.
The conditions for entering are as follows. Each person can enter as many times as they like. You can:
a) leave a comment, [1 entry]
b) do a short post about me giving away rooibos tea (provided that you link back to this post) [3 entries]
c) refer a friend, the friend can leave a comment or do a post with your name in the comment or post.(also provided that you link back to this post) [comment = 1 entry, post with link back = 3 entries, referral = 1 entry]
d) adding my blog to your Technorati favourites [2 entries]
Please note that you MUST notify me about your entries either by commenting, or e-mailing me. If I am not aware of your entries, I cannot include them in the draw.
Because I want to treat every person fairly, I may change the rules or add rules at any time, should I see fit. I may also disqualify any person should I believe that they didn’t comply with the rules as stated above.
