As for your question ...

Thanks Stu, I got that, I'm here to chat not for the business, this is a strickly social call. Thanks for the heads up. :D

There are 5 Hannes Jordaans that I can see on Stalkbook (I mean Facebook) so no invite will be going out in the very near future. Don't make me come spam the English thread again :x

Welcome to the community Hannes :) If you are here for idle chit-chat, you're definitely in the right place. Has anyone pointed you in the direction of the English / Afrikaans spam threads?

hannesjordaan, hello there. It really doesn't matter if you use your real name or not - we will generally make up a nick name for you which you will have to live with :wink: I see you have joined the Jedi - does that mean you like scifi more than horror? If so - welcome - if not - welcome :lol:

You do have to pop into the Chill out zone if you haven't already (I am behind in my posting so have not been there yet to see if you were there already). Watch out for that mouse (Stuart) - he wields some power around these parts now, and sometimes gets a little power drunk :wink: closing threads, warning people that they should not swear, getting rid of evil advertisers......( yes I know these are good things he does, but he used to cause mayhem himself :twisted: ). Now he is a good rodent.

The puppy - well, what can I say about him?! Watch out for his wit - it bites :lol: The rest of the guys in the English and Afrikaans thread are really nice - come and play sometime.

I am going to stop now as I am getting bored with myself. Welcome again.

Thanks c0d3r, what a relief, no spamming (as if.. :lol: ). I've had a look at your friends "SA Shop", there is a couple of pictures missing, maybe I should take some photo's of the stuff they don't have photos on and send it along. What I don't understand though is that if they sell the stuff then they should be able to take photos and add it to their website. I'm beginning to ramble. Good to know there are 5 Hannes Jordaan's on facebook, don't know why exactly, I think. But thanks for comming to introduce yourself, it's always nice to meet interesting people.

They've only recently (1 December to be exact) taken over the shop and the website so I'm sure there will be major improvements in the weeks to come. If you have a look at the Facebook group for the shop, you'll see that they've got quite the extensive range of SA goodies.

So what brought you to this little corner of the interweb, hannesjordaan?

Hi Tribble, definitely scifi but I do like the occasional horror. I'm beginning to paint a picture, you peeps sound like a real close knit group, I like that. I had a friend in Afghanistan called Stuart, obviously not this one because he didn't make it. The puppy? Where did I miss that? Thanks for the welcome, again. I'll go and get my feet wet at the English and Afrikaans thread and go chill at the chill zone. :roll:

hannesjordaan, ROTFL - we are friends but anyone is always welcome. We don't do cliques :P

RustyPup - have a look around in the Evolution vs Creationism .......the thread for the not so easily offended ...... I am sure you will find him in no time.

Of course we do cliques. You're just not in any of them.

What can I say, I like interacting with people and I haven't done the forum thing in a loooong time so a bit rusty, but looking forward to meet new people and get my ears on the ground for what's happening all around. How long have you been out there in kiwi land? What koding do you do? Questions, questions.. you asked for it. :)

Thanks Tribble, Ill have a look out for RustyPup. The creationism / evolution debate has so many angles and if you ask me, I think they both are wrong in so many ways, but ja, that is for that discussion. ROTFL? :? I need to catch up on the lingo,...rusty.

You guys know that the rustbucket is going to pop in here and scald me for not keeping "spam" out of this thread, right? Technically this is all new member intro stuff, but he seems to have taken a liking to rebuking me since I went green. :(

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
