Well done Leon Schuster!

Ayoba! PG

I will let the other boys answer your questions if they up to it hehehehe, nothing like a healthy debate on a tuesday;)

It's being billed as "the best job in the world" – six months working as a "caretaker" on Hamilton Island in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. But with competition for the post sure to be cut-throat, how can you make your application stand out?

As winter gloom settles in across the UK, Tourism Queensland has cannily cast a wide net in its search for someone to take the caretaker job. The indigo skies and rolling golden sandy beaches of Hamilton Island couldn't look more appealing to your average Briton at the moment. As if these weren't enough, the job comes with a pay packet of nearly £70,000 and a rent-free three-bedroom villa, complete with pool.

In return, the successful applicant will be expected to spend the six-month contract exploring the idyllic surroundings, filing weekly blog, photo diary and video updates and conducting "ongoing media interviews".

dont you boys have anything better to do than talk kak on the net?

@Kreg (& indirectly at OnaJ)… yeah those pics definitely look like some crappy art students interactive theatre art piece.. bleh!

“ummm Helen Zille is the head of the lead opposition party, by definition the DA is required to bitch and moan about the ANC short comings” : Stroob

@ Stroob – yeah because bitching and moaning always gets one far in life…….. umm..

im not saying a little competition isnt healthy, its just.. once theyr done pointing fingers why not try sorting out a problem instead of bitching and moaning….

there’s a time and a place to hear a bitch moan and i think everyone will agree its not in the newspapers… (maybe late night E-tv)

@OnaJ

“what have i done for my fellow man, my family and i donate over 200 loaves of bread a week to communities who need it…”

by “my family and i” did you mean your mom and dad?

anyhooo… this little debate was fun! i guess we should all come together and celebrate our differences and differing opinions in an amicable “scocially acceptable” manner – chevelle then?

lets get loose!

Without colonialism i wouldn't be in South Africa, neither would you… but if you pro-colonialism then you must be into human trafficking (slavery and sex workers) i know may care a Lil for the latter. we should stop defining ourselves as us and them because i would to be constantly marginalized and made to feel as the other although what i am branded to be or my culture makes up the majority of the population.

“Our attempts to understand and define ourselves are necessarily made in conjunction with attempts to understand and define those who are different, or “other” than we are. Examining the extent to which we assert our own experience as the norm, and the degree to which we exoticise, mythologize, and/or marginalize the experience of those of other cultures, races, ages, genders, or belief systems is a crucial step towards understanding identity as a powerful ideological tool that can be as easily used to serve repressive interests as to promote as sense of group unity crucial in struggling against oppression." (Ferguson, R. Olander, W. Et al. 1990: 92)

i love you stroob lets get wasted and talk race relations, what you doing later.

Land Grabs FTW Kreg i'm in on that grassy patch!

Yet, we don't. Why?

Fear.

This has turned into quite a lekker little debate here:)

@Chris: hahaahaha, where should I find my next spot to relocate??

@stroob – Quite impressive.

As for donating your left over booze the other night, that was me you gave it to, fool:) do I count as a squatter now? Where should I relocate to now??

Btw stroob tribal war, and being a Gangsta(colonialism) are very different things. it sounds like you are pro-Holocaust…

what have i done for my fellow man, my family and i donate over 200 loaves of bread a week to communities who need it, and i gave some guy my left over booze the other evening.

my 3c

HAHA

And Onaj, PLEEEEEEZ dont bring up colonialism. the only difference between what the Europeans to the black population versus what the black population did to the Khoi San/Hottentots is that they came by boats and about 200 years later.

I have nothing but sympathy for anyone who bares the brunt of a homeless existence, but adopting western culture means adopting western law. the people who occupy land legally have done so through paying their way. after 15 years of a beautiful democracy and the glories of AA and BEE to assist you, if youre a young healthy black person there really is no reason for you not to be as wealthy as you can dream!

my 2c…

"Imagine the chaos if we decided we want to live where we want to live." Kreg November 24th, 2009 at 9:15 am

@Kreg what do you think Khayalitcha is? it is the LARGEST informal settlement on the globe, Rio's slums ain't got nothing on what we have on the flats! Khayalitsha is chaos go to site C or B people do just what they want, put up shacks where they find an open plot. "Today Khayelitsha is home to 2 million people (although the official City of Cape Town estimate is at 2,100,000)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khayelitsha

I personally wouldnt have been to stoked if they stayed, such a vibe area for people walking dogs, playing footy, chilling, watching the ocean etc etc.. you know!

Im sorry Peanut but Helen Zilletjie for the win:)
