I'm Dutch, and I have to admit, I really like to read Afrikaans. I
understand almost every word of it, and I think it's funny. So, I'm
wondering, do you understand and accept my writings in Dutch? And most
important of all, do you like to have a Dutch guy participating in your NG?
Greetings, Marco.

Hallo daar NG!
Ik ben Nederlands, en ik moet toegeven dat ik het leuk vindt om Afrikaans te
lezen. Ik begrijp bijna elk woord, en ik vind het grappig. Ik vraag me af,
begrijpen en accepteren jullie mijn schrijven in het Nederlands? En
belangrijkste van alles, vinden jullie het leuk dat een Nederlandse jongen
meedoet in jullie NG?
DD jy was weereens knaend in Roodepoort (ek kan die plek glad nie onthou
nie, nie eers of ek al ooit daar was nie... dalk kan jy dit beskryf?:-)),
maar Andries moet mos nou al beter voel na al die naweek se oordryf (Al het
hy gesê hy het niks gedrink nie) so waar is almal?
Ek wonder nou of my screwyscareykabelknipperman dalk sy ding daar in
NY gaan doen het? Hulle is juis oorspronklik van NY af, en kom hier
in Athens aftree. Daarom die nuwe huis gebou en in die proses my
ontneem van elektrisiteit, telefoon en kabel. Gmmmfff....
Dalk het hy net geoefen hier in ons omgewing voor hy sy knippery in
die GROOT stad gaan aanpak het? Dalk moet ek die FBI en sommer die
CIA ook laat weet?
:-))
This is a great country because

rugby matches?
6. It's the only country in the world where striking workers show;
how angry they are by dancing.
7. You're considered clumsy if you cannot: use a cellphone
(without car kit), change CDs, drink a beer, put on make-up,
read the newspaper and smoke, all at the same time while
driving a car at 160 kph in a 60 kph zone.
8. Great accent. (!!!)
9. If you live in Johannesburg, you get to brag about living in
the most dangerous city in the world.
10. Burglar bars become a feature, and a great selling point for
your house.
11. You can decorate your garden walls with barbed wire.
12. The police are the first on the scene for most major crimes, without
being called.
13. Votes have to be recounted until the right party wins.
14. Illegal immigrants leave the country because the crime rate
is too high.
15. The police ask you if they must follow up on the burglary
you've just reported.
16. When a murderer gets a 6 month sentence and a pirate TV viewer 2
years.
17. The prisoners strike and get to vote in elections!
18. The police stations have panic buttons to call armed response when
they are burgled
19. Police cars are fitted with immobilisers and gearlocks!
