In Nederland het ons nou ook 'n stigting die teen die gebruik van Engelse
woorde in Nederlands is.
Hulle kan maar beter gaan saamwerk met die Afrikaanse stigting.
Nou is daar 'n vra vir 'n paar woorde die in Nederlands mooet worden
vertaal.
Kan enig iemand my help door die Afrikaanse woorde te gee vir die volgende
Engelse woorde:
Daar is al 'n paar woorde die vertaal is, hulle het al naar Afrikaans gekyk
dink ek,
barbecue = braadrooster
airconditioning = klimaatregeling
laptop = schootcomputer ( computer moet ook nog weg)
skateboarden = plankschaatsen
Verskoon tog asseblief die Engels, maar dis vir die mense oor die water om
ook te verstaan. Suid Afrikaanse uitvoer.

A Handful of Keys benefit tour
If you have friends in Sydney or London, encourage them to book for A
Handful of Keys.
Not only will they have a great evening, but they will help to save the life
of little Oscar von Memerty.
Oscar and his sister Valeska were born with MPS 6 (muco polysacharodisis 6)
or Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome. This is a genetic metabolic illness, which
causes all the soft tissues to swell causing massive deformity, dwarfism,
increasing paralysis, loss of motor functions, gradual blindness and
deafness and proves fatal by their late teens.
After a massive fund-raising effort in 1997 both children underwent
unrelated bone marrow transplants in Manchester. Valeska accepted her
transplant but died in August 1998 from transplant complications. Oscar
rejected his transplant.
Because of the huge risks involved, Ian and Viv von Memerty decided to let
the disease take its course, and simply love and support him. But there are
now two new developments which offer hope. The first is a 'lyte' BMT. This
new system, called 'non-ablative' transplants, works very well on metabolic
patients. The second is that donor matching has progressed hugely since
1997. As a result, the rejection process and side effects are a lot less
violent and difficult and the likelihood of losing Oscar is very small.
The Von Memertys have met with the team from Great Ormond Street Children's
Hospital Transplant team (in London) and they are willing to do a 'lyte'
transplant on Oscar, and have located at least one well matched donor.
However, there is down-side - they require an up-front payment of 120 000
pounds. With the money the family have raised, there is a shortfall of about
50,000 pounds, (or at the current exchange rate +/- R 700,000.00).
Because the disease is progressive, the transplant should be done as soon as
possible, certainly before Oscar turns 8.
So, if you have seen and enjoyed A Handful of Keys, tell your friends
overseas. Even if you haven't seen it, 130 000 people can't be wrong. The
show has had nightly standing ovations, it has received nine awards, broken
all box office records and attracted rave reviews.

Wat die bespreking vanoggend voor 6 gehoor het van een of ander
munisipaliteit wat nie meer die fondse het om hul verkeersvloot te onder hou
nie?
Die verkeerslui moet nou glo van die munisipale busvervoer gebruik maak om
hul taak te verrig.
The mind boggles :)))
Iemand wat saam met my in besigheid wil gaan om V8 enjins in busse te
installeer?:))

Ek het vandag 'n lekker groot boks by die lughawe moes gaan haal. My ma het
vir my 'n pakkie van SA gestuur!
Gevul met wonderlike goeters, dit het gevoel asof ek 'n skatkis oopgemaak
het!
Hoe verskiklik groot was die verlange toe na my wonderlike ma en pa (pik nou
weer 'n traan weg)
Wat sy onder andere saamgestuur het, was You must be Joking van Leon
Shuster, en alhoewel die film nou al sestien jaar oud is, was dit wonderlik
om daarna te kyk. Ek was alleen in die huis en het my amper dood gelag!
Dit was so lekker!
Hoe verlang ek nie terug nie!
Verskoning maar ek praat nie die Afrikaans nie! 'n Rukkie gelede het
ek in Suid-Afrika verblyf en ek is op soek na 'n paar vriende waarmee
ek sindsdien nie meer kontak gehad het nie. Een van hierdie mense
is Lizaan Boonzaier uit Pretoria. Is daar een van julle wat haar
miskien ken?
Sal dit seer waardeer as julle my kan help en nog 'n goeie dag vir
elkeen.
Ek is 'n persoon wat my kaarte naby aan my bors speel, maar ek wil tog
iets sê. Hier's 'n baie lang draad op die ng oor Godsdiens en ek weet
nie waar om hierdie in te pas nie. In my lewe (van die bosse af, waar
ek grootgeword het, tot die laboratoriums van my later lewe met al
hulle toorgoed) het ek baie met myself gestry en baklei en alle
argumente en gevegte verloor, tot ek besluit het om die KISS beginsel
in my lewe toe te pas (dit was maklik), dus...
i thank you God for this amazing
e e cummings
i thank you God for this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirit of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any - lifted from the no
of all nothing - human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
Ek sou wou geweet het wat is die gemiddelde prys van n' nuwe huis in
Suid-Afrika volgens die teenwoordige stand van sake? Ek het daar êrens
gelees in 'n elektroniese koerant dat 'n huis in SA gemiddeld slegs
300.000 R kos. Ek kon dit nie baie goed glo nie. Hier in België betaal
ons vir n' nuwe huis miskien wel 125.000 tot 150.000 Euros (dis iets
van 1.250.000 tot 1.500.000 R) en dan is die grond waar jy op bou nog
nie betaal nie.
Is daar mense wat my daaromtrent inligtings kan verskaf? Sal dit seer
waardeer!
"Sports Minister Ngconde Balfour says he is seriously considering
legislation to speed up transformation in sport as this can no longer be
left to the goodwill of individuals." berig IOL vanoggend.
Die wetgewing is klaarblyklik veral gemik op rugby en krieket.
