Rocheron is a southerner too, though he's from NORTHERN Texas.

yeah!
i'm doing an internship/clerk/secretary type dealie at a local law office. i follow my guy for a couple hours, and then i make my pay by doing organising and minor secretarying since their secretary is due in a like a week.
hopefully, this will be a major credit on a law school application. i was hoping to go right after college, but with the way things worked out.......
anyway, it's so EXCITING! *squeal*

Yay another law person!!  I start my second semester on Monday. Just sat my first set of exams. I don't want to be a lawyer though. Want to go back to working in theatre or television, which might happen now, as I have my first proper, paid shift at Scottish TV on Sunday. (Only doing the autocue / teleprompter but it's great fun). So good luck with the new job TG and with your application!!

Wow looks like we all got new jobs!!
Today is my last day at the job that meant I spent the best part of last year so stresssed out that I nearly fell out of my tree.... I think some can-canning on the desks is in order before I skip merrily out of the door this afternoon! 
*runs along singing*

My knowledge of either language is shaky to say the least so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
.... on a similar note Livid I've always wondered what Ya Mampele (the SABC1 slogan) means, I asked a few friends when I was out in SA but there are so many official languages that I never asked anyone who spoke that particular one. |
Hi Laura
Ya Mamphela is a name for a gospel music program, but as far as I know it's not Sotho or Tswana. I think it's a Nguni word (Xhosa or Zulu, maybe). I only speak Tswana, Afrikaans and English. Ya is a possesive form and in Sotho phela means to be alive. My guess would be that it means "Let us live through the Lord", but I'll ask when I get home. Am at v. boring workshop in Pta. Workshop boring. Pta v. boring.
As to the babelasvors. It must be a kind of boerewors. Yup. Down here we name our sausages! Babelas means hangover and the wors part means sausage/s. So I guess babelaswors would be hangover sausages.
If you're looking for hip and happening music, you're asking the wrong person. I listen, I like, I listen again. Or not. For what it's worth, I like Mango Groove, Miriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie, the Soweto String Quartet, Theuns Jordaan, Lucky Dube, Koos du Plessis, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and some Kwaito songs. Among others. I don't really differentiate between SA and non-SA music. The old ball and chain is much more into who sings what where. I'll ask him when I get home if you want?
Totsiens

Hi TexasGirl, Yavanie and Eruanna.
Nice to meet you all.
PS Thank you for the warning, Yavanie, but alas, it came too late. My last braincell drowned in a mixture of Big Mac and chocolate milkshake the first time I entered the forum and read a post. |

| Carefully read your post with no food/drink near mouth. Then I took a small sip of Coca Cola and my eye caught your avatar. You're right, a soft drink is much more painful. Can't help it, I'm a sucker for nice buns. |

You know - I love her avatar but since I saw the bigger version of the picture - Karl's oh-so-needs-to-be-waxed butt just makes me want to scream and run after him with the hot wax!!! The others do not make me crazy in a bad way ....

LOL
(Never saw her avvy change before. It's painfully obvious now.)
I don't think I'll ever be able to look at Eomer in quite the same way. Have vivid mental picture of lady lurking off screen with a jar of wax and a beady eye on his pantaloons.
And *ahem* where exactly do I find the bigger version? Not that I'm a perv mind, well actually I am, so 'fess up. |
