INJA, Wer? Like in NINJA, but without the N? Sounds a bit strange, don't you think?
Why don't you tell us what the E in William E. Roland stands for - perhaps that could become the little darling's name.

OOOHH, you've been studying, hey?! I almost forgot! Thought you'd made a typing mistake, and wanted to call our poor little baby Ninja the superdog! Ha-ya! You know, I had forgotten the word for 'dog'. Well, suppose that's what will happen if one doesn't use it. Depressing.
But what if he should learn zulu some point, and find out we named him 'dog'. I mean, would you like people to call you, 'dog'? My favourite zulu name, though I don't know that many, is Mzila.

TOTALLY, especially if you're into lots of animals and lots and lots of huge pink sanddunes. I bought a flat there a couple of years ago, so any time any of you guys want to go and see Africa, just let me know - I can provide some free accommodation there. You'll never want to come back.

This dog doesn't look like he has enough dignity for a name like Inja or Chester. He looks like one of those slobbery, scrappy dogs that people name Jethro or Whitey. (BTW, Riette, your homeland sounds beautiful...)

The Afrikaners all call the English 'rooinekke', which means 'rednecks'.
But it's not a form of insult though.
I won't call you it again though - sorry. My English friends always call me 'Voortrekker Skat', if that makes you feel better.

Response 54 of 68: Riette Walton (riette) * Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (06:21) * 2 lines
Because it's pointless, of course. I don't see any point in doing only things that have some sort of deeper meaning or point. I like doing things for no reason at all, even though I might regret it afterwards. Maybe I'm shallow. I just find the idea of everything 'leading' somewhere, and there being a point to everything and anything totally boring and predictable.
Sorry, didn't mean that question to sound hostile or to make trouble.

Or not. We're having huge doubts about Australia - would mean that Chris would earn a third of what he earns here; though we'd have a house etc., trips to Europe, Africa or America would be a non-occurrence. Right now I don't think I could cope with not seeing my siblings for years at a time, or not being able to visit Africa or Europe. This strains the Walton marriage, as you can imagine. He wants to go, I'm not so sure.
