    Greetings from up north

    Howzit

    Stumbled across this site when researching the NHM 90 and thought that the website was well laid out, easy to read and that the members seemed like a pretty reasonable bunch, so signed up. As one can probably tell, I'm a retread South African but have been resident in NZ on and off for the past 14 years.

    You guys have a great piece of real estate here, one that I am proud to call home.

    Cheers
    Ryan

    Heh, ja there certainly are. I can't say that work brought me here, no. I'm a system administrator at the moment but will be changing roles in 02/13

    Yebo, sawubona Numzane, unjani? Dalk nie gaan lei nie, maar sal eerder hulle gaan haal (kroeg toe )
    (Yes, hello Mister/Sir, how are you? [isiZulu] Perhaps won't lead but would prefer to take them to the pub (Afrikaans))

    ebf I thought you weren't encouraging of getting some SA's into the same room together!

    Welcome Ryan. Hope you enjoy it here but you can bloody well cut out all that foreign speak on this forum. Some of us struggle enough with English let alone Afrikaans.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks Rushy, I do understand which is why I placed translations along with my posts - admittedly in small font!
