Also her calling everything "Thingy" got on my nerves after a while.

On top of that she wouldn't make any decisions about anything until she consulted the bible, and she had the cheek to say that I took too much notice of others and should do my own thing.

Tip kink, if you fancy a South African stay away from the religious ones, and keep your eye on your bank balance!

I did pick up a few usefull words Afrikan, Xhosa and Shona......

Like Lekkerrrrrrrrrr

and Footsack

I doubt you will find those in any translation guide though!

looks like i struck a nerve there
Sounds like she just wasn't a good match for you whatever accent she had

I don't think an accent could get me to fancy a person and lead me to ignore all their other irritating characteristics..... i'm too cynical anyway and an accent doesn't tell you enough about the person, well not enough for me to be attracted to them anyway It might turn my head..... but it would take a lot more for it to stay looking in their direction


Thanks for the phrases though...... will have to give you some arabic ones only problem is i wouldn't be able to translate them on here


Oh and kronas has a lovely accent.....
