If we prevent selfies, then we'll quickly run out of Facebook-wank material. :(
You make a good point sir. I believe an exception for the slutty "new hair style!!" selfies which are actually just an excuse to post a picture of their ample cleavage needs to be made.

I ordered two things online but there are now four things in my local delivery depot. Apparently the easiest way to resolve this difference is for those four things to be returned to America, for me to get a refund and then order again in the hope that who ever sorts it the second time can count to the dizzying heights of two. Grrrr.

So, another quick update.
My dad picked me up in windhoek and we drove 700 km up north to the middle of nowhere. Now it seems a piston has decided to blow in the block (2004 xc 70) New engine gone less than 90.000km....no spare car, no mechanics, nearest rental is 400km away...naturally..in the wrong direction..Or risk limbing it 500km though the Namib-desert to get to where we are supposed to be :D fun times...

It would if the Romans built the roads around there...but they didn't.

So where are you? Etosha? Caprivi Strip?



No but ze Germans did, and so they're actually pretty straight anyway.

Nope, the road from Opowango to opowa was just recently built (asfalted) by ze Chinese, before that it was le dirt road.
and yes, the roads are preaty strait, hold the wheel, point the car lock in elbows and go

Windhoek - Ondangwa - Opuwo = 944 km
Windoek-Opuwo direkt would be 714 km ;)

Confused by the facepalm, are you saying the Chinese are Romans?

We've managed to secure a rental and a flatbed for the broken car.
So all is well, exept for the having to go about 400 km back in the wrong direction :/

I meant, the Romans didn't build the roads so 700km isn't necessarily a different country. And while Germans and Chinese like straight roads, they aren't quite as anal about it as the Romans were.

Aye I caught it the second time around, I just read it as it couldn't be 700km unless the Romans built it...my bad

I may have missed this. But what are you doing there?

I thought that was about the area where we send money to so we don't feel guilty.

Have you seen Ewan Mcgregor yet?

Or Angelina Jolie browsing?

By African standards Namibia isn't that poor. I mean its poor, but nowhere near Bob-Geldof-Give-us-yer-fekkin-mooney poor. Its actually a really interesting place, I'd love to go back and do the Skeleton Coast one day.

The main problem with Namibia is the wealth distribution, so even if the UN do rate it as a middle income country. The rating is misrepresentive

Bicycle pedals. Why has the extremely crap method of attaching a pedal to a crank not been improved in decades?

After breaking 2 spanners and snapping an allen key (and bending beyond repair an expensive multitool), I gave up and took the fucker to the bike shop. He had no problems removing it :(
