Travelling on the Golden Arrow Bus

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:26:00 GMT

Braais, women and hairdryers

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:59:00 GMT

Men

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:58:00 GMT

Men are so easy to manipulate. They see a pretty smile, a little leg and they are like putty in your hands. I swear ..its ridiculous. Trust me if you're a good looking woman in a working environment you can ...
