Both the SA and NZ anthems are in languages native to both countries which is always a good thing .

More important warped DUD is what they say. Both anthems honour God. Both are prayers and both countries are pretty secu lar in many respects.

Just love that NZ anthem version...beautiful and I would love to live in your country...I know it's not perfect...but less crime but it is better than the awful cesspools of the world...my wife is a true Russian and she loves her motherland but she also loves NZ...she pesters me to go there...she loves the space, the mountains nearby and the simplicity...USA never appeals to her, she has a dread of crime so prevalent in her country but worse and less predictable in SA...she says in SA they will kill you for a cell phone but the Maf ia in Russia never worry about you unless there are millions involved...a bit of an exaggeration but I see what she means.
We all love our nations but we get completely turned around when corruption knocks on the door...beautiful countries get ruined by the greedy, selfish and brutal philosophies of the world...politicians manipulating and playing games with words and promises that they never mean. NZ is a little of the good that's left in the world.
NZ I love you.

Beeno there are barflies all over the world....I know this very well...used to be one myself....stopped because it's stupid and a waste of good tin and the main reason it's not what God wants for anybody...your drinking habits tell a sad story...an escapism from something that you should deal with, guilt, unhappiness,boredom, insecurity and the many things that plague sinful man...I have had a dram or two or a draught in virtually every pub from Simonstown to Empangeni and many other exotic places scattered over the world.
When your'e young like these young players are, it's just a novelty and sooner or later they'll get tired of it...just too much spare metal jinkling in their pockets...sooner or later the penny will drop.
Saffas are pisscats worst than the Poms...the Irish and Scots like a hoot or two but only on Friday and Saturday nights. I live in a fairly affluent part of KZN and it amazes me how the pubs are starting to fill at 12.30 pm virtually every day of the week and outside are parked upmarket 4X4's and fashionable German Sedans...how this can carry on and be sustainable boggles the mind...the fairly well heeled in this country do very little work and are headed for a show down somewhere into the future...the land of the never , never soon comes to an end as it did in the parmy days of White Mischief in Kenya.

Seb as a kid I lived by the mighty Tongarriro river , Zane Greys favourite spots I have fished and you would be in fly fishing heaven ! Although as a wee kid with my cuzzies we did poach a few rainbows using a sharpened pitch fork till my uncle Shimu taught us the error of our ways ! [ those rainbows originally came from the russian river in California , I remember a local guide on a bet caught at least one every day for a year ! } NZ is ranked as one of the top 3 least corrupt nations ,and rightfully so !
