I don't make it myself, but it's available here - so many saffers around here. I get some now and then and enjoy it.

Oh of course! Australia is like our distant relative.
Yeah, we broke away from the supercontinent of Gondwana Land and became Australia a long time ago. I'm not sure why, but when we broke off and moved away we got better at cricket and rugby. Lol.
Four day later and I'm still laughing. And agreeing with you. While I'm not the biggest lover of cricket or rugby, I certainly was a fan when I lived in the UK. Of the Australian teams. Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm only in South African camo
The laugh that keeps on giving. I like it.
Let's just agree that we're equally as good as the other when it comes to cricket and rugby, it's easier that way. Anyway, I thought everyone one wins these days, in this world of mediocrity they promote...whomever they are.
Let me say one thing about you, your language is anything but mediocre! I really appreciate your effort in the comments but especially the wording.
As far as the game(s) go; mediocrity is sadly true. I remember watching the infamous (for us) '95 world cup, which SA hosted and won. I of course had a boyfriend on the (not international) Natal teams so I was an avid supporter of (him not so much as) rugby. It was different then to the game played now.
Where were you when my year twelve English teacher told me I would never amount to anything, in front of the entire class! I left school soon after she said it, she had nothing more to teach me, but you could have told her how wordtastic I am!
I'm a reach higher and rise above sort of knucklehead so I strive for continual improvement, work harder, learn more so I can apply it towards a better result and I goal-set. All so that I can find a better result. This goes for business, my relationships and personal life things and internally. I don't buy into the paradigm of lowering the bar so that more can reach it...if something is worth doing it's worth excelling at. Life is worth doing. You know?
They're training young ones not to keep score, that just participating is enough and that winning isn't valid. Not very good life lessons really. I'm not just talking sport-related things here. It effects everything and the ramifications will be far-reaching.
But what do I know, I amounted to nothing, except what I strove for, and what I worked hard to design and create. 😉
And here I thought it was the below bar/par attitude and practice of most South Africans. It's tragic to think this is an international lackadaisical approach to life. But enough about the world! It is disgusting that your teacher would humiliate you before the other kids and not use her compassion and education to encourage you to strive for higher and better. I had a maths teacher like that. I always think I'm terrible with maths and then I remember that I excelled, until I got the wrong teacher. So wrong that I dropped maths and all hopes of calculations for the rest of my life, until now. Let's believe rather that your a word genius and had a terrible teacher that could not recognize and channel that. Enough about words I have a certain weekend post requiring a big amount of words .... bye!
