I made a fire even though it was drizzling when I went camping in the South Downs with a mate (in a non-Brokeback way) last year.

Whereabouts in the South Downs?

No idea. There was a farmhouse, some sheep and sh1tloads of trees and pheasants if that narrows it down.

Missus wants me to go to Florida in September. Kayaking through the mangroves. I informed her that I would need a much sturdier vessel in a mangrove (Iwas thinking that tray with a fan on that Gentle Ben used to drive). Dangerous places although great fishing.

So you made a fire in the fireplace of the farmhouse, while it was drizzling outside. Impressive.

You're not supposed to call them mangroves anymore. Persongroves is the correct term.

Less of the vegan talk on here.

Did my democratic duty, and lounged at the voting station, now it's time to work

No, Julius.  The farmhouse is where the farmer lived and where his wife, no doubt, would have been charged with starting the fire.  A tent in a field is where the campers (my mate and myself) lived non-Brokebackedly and where I made the fire.

I dreamed about you again last night, by the way.  You weren't God this time, you were a bit like Kevin Spacey in Se7en but with long, bendy limbs.

So who'd you vote for or did you just lounge?

I just lounged, stood in the queue for five minutes, and thought to myself, I'm pretty sure you vote for someone to lead the country, not to strategically provide opposition, so I didn't vote. S.A. politics is rather barren wasteland, thought it better to earn double the pay working on a public holiday.

What an excellent tactician and fine cynic.

It's the first time that people born after the ANC took power are eligible to vote so will be interesting to see if the love affair is over.

I've never dreamt about you and would be very worried if I did.

Feels a bit like someone tore my heart from my chest and wedged it down the back of a radiator.

It is up there with 'Did you hear about the Irishman who tried to blow up a bus?' in my books. I know a good one about a kid, his Grandad and a magic trick but it could trigger a visit from the officers working on Operation Yew Tree.

Will be interesting in 2019, 40% of the country Is under 21, so could be a big swing. In this election, I think it's a walkover for the ANC. Could have been interesting, had they had legitimate opposition.

Yes, it was a shame the passing of Eugene Terblanche.

Real shame, if only he'd revealed earlier that He loved little black boys.

That was a terrifying documentary that Louis Theroux did with Terblanche.

He was a intimidating chap, old Eugene.

And as Hull KR points out, a bummer.

Whenever the chat on here ever looks like it may flirt round things of a cultural nature you can always rely on michaels to nip that in the bud.

How are you, Jeffrey? You weren't around much yesterday.

Don't blame me. It is Julius and Galted who insist on talking about pubes and hamptons.

As a point, it is of interest to me that they are letting UK based south Africans vote in these elections. Not that it matters of course.

A little piece of me dies every time you post that, Jules.

You're better than this. You're the grand old man of the Culture Cup. A Gandalf like figure. Using an unfunny and juvenile word all the time is not becoming of you.

Was off work so between catching up on Game of Thrones and finishing Tyson's god awful autobiography did not have a lot of time. Your concern is always touching though Tina.

Surely you weren't off sick again?

Where are you up to with GoT? It truly is immense.

Bang up to date with it Tina. This series is a bit slow burn, but is still one of the better things on the TV. Was in full health yesterday.

I like the pace of this series.  All the political manoeuvring is great.

I like the new chap, Oberyn Martell.  Famous lover, fighter and philosopher.  Hard not to see the similarities I have with him.

Have you been watching Fargo?

Have been watching Fargo. Enjoying that as well. Been some good TV on recently. I enjoyed True Detective about as much as I have enjoyed anything recently.

Oberyn reminds me of Coxy to be honest.

I like Game of Thrones. Some of the minge action is exceptional.

Coxy reminds me of Hodor.

I didn't think it was possible, but Truss has managed to increase the campness on the weightlifting board.

Paying the muscle room of the site a visit Tina? Looking to get big? My mate's a professional boxer/ personal trainer/ bouncer...

Have read all of the Game of Thrones books to date so tempted to go spolier crazy and ruin it for everyone! I could wreak havoc if I had more than 9 followers on my redundant twitter account.

Always like popping in there for a little bit of homo-eroticism, Kingster.

Much less hassle than standing in a plastic bag in a toilet cubicle on Clapham Common.

What is a 'spolier'?

It's a derogatory term used to describe the kind of d!ckhead who flounces his way round the internet pointing out typos.

Tino wrote:What is a 'spolier'?

Etymology
Borrowed from Latin spoliāre (present active infinitive of spoliō), whence also inherited Old French espoillier.

Verb
spolier

(transitive) to despoil

I consider myself suitably upbraided, Tino.

So you're calling Galted and Julius d*ckheads then?

Charming. No wonder only your family subscribe to your Twitter account.

My wife unfollowed me because she was worried about an insult I'd sent to David Cameron. I no longer post anything because I was only doing it to wind her up.

I don't point out typos, I point out grammatical errors and laziness, such as the incorrect use of, or missing, apostrophes, you f*cking hampton.

But you still flounce.
