Day 6 Part 9.2

Actually including early parts of Day 7... :roll: :







Now the "Car Wash" in Phalaborwa is simply a front for a massive place of ill-repute.


A strange place!


For example, the first fellow I met complimented me on the choice of literature I kept in my bathroom at home, although I had never met him before in my life! Rather unnerving...


But we became good friends quickly, in reverse, so to speak! :D

(It turns out he and his SO had accompanied Scipio to my "pad" in Nelspruit for "Innibos" that week!)



I still firmly maintain that a socio-anthropological study should be done on the inhabitants of that town, without being nasty at all! 8)



The visitors to the bar included a manager, qualified accountant, ex-Springbok athlete, qualified designer...etc...

The bar lady may be an astrophysicist, for all I know! (A wonderful person...Grey Lady!)

But one wouldn't notice that at all...everyone knows everyone and is incredibly hospitable!

No money seems to change hands, and Scipio arm-wrestles ladies for drinks..no jokes...

Bar fights are left to continue until they are deemed disturbing, whereafter a senior member intervenes and peace descends and all is forgiven! (Sort of like a forum! :lol: )

You bring your own meat and Grey Lady braais it for you to perfection, and serves it up with delicious side orders!

Then you sit and chat, and watch the world go by... :D

Grey Lady does, however, have the endearing but deadly habit of pouring "extra hospitable" whiskys for "out of towners"...


Still, It was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to be back soon!


(And I did have my car washed!)


Thanks, all of you Phallies!


So where did I pick up that terrible injury?

A few days earlier!

I need to visit Phala 0:0

Best way to describe this spot, Toti without the sea. In fact, I think that next time I am in Toti it will be a raise in standards.

Damn, I can't wait to get back to the coast for a visit. :(

RP the would seems to be healing well.
Hope you didn't need hospital treatment in Phala 'cause I can tell you from experience you would have had yours and buckleys -O -O -O

Can't wait for the next instalment, RP. Was in dire need of a good laugh and I got it here. -O -O -O -O



PS. That SMALL MINUTE INSIGNIFICANT wound of yours had me in stitches. Gee Whizzz, you men! A little scratch and it is worth a photo. You should try giving birth. :P :P

Geez, not even 2 pages and I already have cramps from laughing!!

Keep it coming please!!


.... Btw, are you going to finish this one??

You should be asking if he is going to start this one, he has already finished it in the first post. -O

Oh guys, if I do nothing else, I must visit that carwash before I die........from laughter -O -O If for nothing else, to see if it is real :lol:

I have not given birth, to the best of my knowledge.

Lowveldboy does appear to have experience of cramps, however, so you girls can share... Rolling Eyes

The injury was incurred several days previously, and my delicate complexion does not readily show severe bruising.

Scipio...yes... Embarassed

Shall continue tomorrow....ironically with gunshots! Shocked
