@AllHellLetLoose There are lots of tributes in the papers today to the “Love Pixie”. For a moment I was concerned for the welfare of @baraettmattesvensson Then I realised they were only referring to Charles Aznavour.
FHB and I have met @brb for pre game drinks the year before last.... I wouldn't mind betting he has some weird old dreams ….. but as the new CAFC Mod I guess that will be your duty from now on
I’ll will be setting somewhat higher standards as the Mod - including not fraternising with the Pikeys
Pik Botha. Anyone who can serve as a cabinet minister in an apartheid regime, then under Nelson Mandela is worth a mantion.
Even after all these years I can still barely believe the Aparteid system did not end in a horrific bloodbath. Huge credit and respect must go to everybody who worked to avoid that happening, whichever side of the system they were originally coming from. I know South Africa still has many troubles and great inequality even today. But all my life I had thought the old white rule was only going to end one way - and not a peaceful way.
I'm not going to engage in a debate about what happened in South Africa. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' point of view, and besides this would not be the right thread for such a debate.
