How Sweet!

Was waiting on Rob to finish his meal at Mugg & Bean so got playing with the sugar packets. Four packets later and TADA!, this little fellow was born! 

The waiters at the restaurant were having a ball, laughing and taking photos of it, and there was me, more thinking someone would scold me on wasting!

My 5 minutes of fame! :P

IT seemed like a good idea at the time?

We love going shopping in this one shop in Randburg who's name, for life of me and tree frogs, I can never remember! It sells, well, odd, yes odd is the right word, things indeed! Like who comes up with:



A kissing toilet roll holder? As your bog roll runs out so our two star crossed lovers are reunited in a kiss! There bliss while you frantically search for some other biodegradable substance to wipe your butt with!

You can spin him right round just like a circus wheel and keep your knives in to boot! Making even the most hardened serial killer smile.

 Same serial killer will be a breeze to shop for!

 This... well, I'm sure no one would use it for ANYTHING other than it was designed for....

 And silly people have been going to therapy all these years!

Over R100 for a spoon that looks like a tongue is a reasonable price because?

 Cause even a saviour of mankind likes a nice, fresh, minty breath!

The Top Cocks P-under the sun!

"Chuck Norris once had a cough..."
 Now if there's one guy who rules the roost, it's Chuck Norris! Mind I don't see him getting a cold, Chuck is so bad he makes virus's sick! And that's nothing to sneeze at!

That is a very knife stand! If you can hand-le it!

What the cluck? This Mexican food place doesn't mind a little entertaining advertising! I'm surprised none of the over sensitive crowd have complained that this ad is just one big cock up? Maybe a bit too chicken?

Of Legs and feet and pincers

Half off sale? I think they're doing it wrong...


 A South African favorite... er .. well with some people. The ingredients for a dish known as a 'Walky-Talky'
Namely the feet and heads of chicken, stewed up and served with your choice of maize meal or green veg!
So, who's game for a snack then?


At first it's rather hard to see what that black mess is inside this tank at the pet shop. We had to lean in and...
Ah a whole seething mass of black scorpions...
*Steps back a little*
Hmmn, wonder if scorpion would add a zing to a hot dish of Walky-Talky?
Now the Scorpions are black and I am a lovely green colour!

Of Pretty Things


Isn't this sunset lovely? We were walking in the rain rain and then in just that one section the suns rays to got refracted and it ended up looking almost like Aurora! Glad I got the piccie as ten secs later it faded away. 


One day, if I ever have my own home, I'm going to have an enormous, strong glass jar full to the brim with jelly beans! They're so colourful and eye catching! And if you should want a nibbly or two, help yourself! 


It was just another silly water feature, but up close and personal the water looks like living crystal! Mind I do wonder what people thought at this woman leaning precariously over a tiny fountain was doing. Probably mumbling, "It's one o' them artistic types Dora, best keep the kiddies close!"

Of Pants, Pizza and Propriety

 Here’s a bloke wearing his pants so low down that not only could I see his underwear, but that was the only evidence that he had anything resembling a rear end in there! He had to keep pulling them up every other second. Makes him look like he's not had a good meal in ages and all his clothing were in the wash so he had to wear his "Fat pants". 


Oh I love the honesty of the disclaimer at the bottom. Sort of like, “Here’s a random pic of a pizza. Probably not one of ours, but you get the idea and now you’re too hungry to really care. Score one for us!” 

Isn’t this lovely? I took it at the Siyakhana gardens in Observatory. That’s doing dead right!

Of death, driving and demented



This isn’t really all that interesting because let’s face it, when you’ve finished eating your tasty sheep’s head, mmmh, like mama used to boil, who doesn’t then put it up in barbed wire? Does have a sort of nice arty effect don’t you think?

this was a taxi right behind us. (And I mean RIGHT behind us, lordy man, tail-gate much??) .  Taxi’s are infamous for their lousy driving skills, here you can see one of their victims splatter across the bonnet! Taxi’s all have right of way in South Africa. And left of way and centre of way and pretty much any which way they want!


No! Noooo!! How do you put adverts like these two up? For removing lice! I mean sure no one wants parasites and bully to this company providing a service no one else would do – ever, ever, ever, but look at these pics! The first shows their alien technology they use to slurp the little suckers, and probably your brains, right out of your head! And the second shows not so much a louse as something only Sigourney Weaver could remove!! *shivers*
