Woke up last night to do the widdly-waddle & again could not get back to sleep, and had a light-bulb moment....

You know those moments? When the light's go on and suddenly everything is crystal clear? Well that's a light-bulb moment....

Anyway, The Africkaans me, (that's the not-so-clever-but-very-hard-working-me ) says to the English me (That's-the-clever-but-lazy-me)....(shadow was not there at that time),

And although "butt ugly" (my camper trailer) is actually.... Well...... Butt ugly...

No really it's the truth, it really is butt-ugly,

Dis n bietjie baai negetive vir n naam..... So  The English me says "What about R & R"?

Now them's of you lot whats did REAL army (like back in the mid 70's) will know that R & R stands for rest & recreation, (something we didd'nt get a lot of, especially yours truly as I was always doing punishment PT)....

But that's another story....

R & R......Rough & Ready.... Says me to me....

So after all that nonsense...

What say you guys? ROUGH & READY a good new name for my camper trailer?

Warren, I am not so sure about the Rough part, but it certainly looks Ready.   Ready for everything!  

I would love to be at the saamtrek at Bloekompoort and see you arrive with your R & R Rig.

"Here comes Warren!   He has arrived!".   And with everyone in stitches of laughter, you will probably stand there and not even smile.   Yep, you are one of a kind.

Hi Freda.... Not this time....posted this in the club thingie: -

=====================

Well, I got's some bad news and I got's some good......

First the bad news... This year there ain't no free comedy show by me, of me, pitching my pitch all on my lonesome lone...

Aa-Aa Not this time..... No more "Shhush.... did mos sports die"...... NEE A-A !!!!

Just like a bleeding bike rally in Cristiana it was.... Out with the chairs and 1 plus 2  plus 3 ice cubes.... (In the old day's it was 1 Klippies , 2L Coke & 3L Ford, [with a plastic orange on the areal]....

All watching and grinning ear to ear and all, while Googling your's truly bumbling round like a perdeby sonder n perd....

Now for the good news.. Gonna be early... I got's me an extra day, net om julle te vermy!

and I can sit & watch for a change....

=======================

So there! I got's them foiled...  (blow's rasberry)....

Good for you Warren, clever!   And leave  a day later than them as well, then they  can't watch you pack up either.

Great name Warren, do you tow it with the tent up?
If so, there are some shared detail with an Oxwagon, a SAfari setup, and a overlander that forgot to take down his ROoftop tent in the morning.
Thus OXSARO could work.

Hi H.. Goie more...

Jaa-nee... Dit kan gaan...

Yip! I tow, tent up.... SA's first canvas caravan.... (Watch-out CI... There's a new player on the block)......

that was one of my criteria when I cooked this lot up...

If I need to power-nap along the way / arrive late on site I don't want to have to do anything, otherwise I'm still tired but no longer sleepy (walked into that rat-trap with my off-road trailer).

The origin of the idea comes from my Army days and the Bedfords with the seil cover over the back. Fortunately, the RTT is an easy-Awn prototype and the canvas is just as thick as the Bedfords canvas!

Hi Colinfreda....

From your post above: - Yep, you are one of a kind.

I just wanted to say, thank you indeed.

That must rank as the very best compliment anyone on the forum has paid me.

The rest just think I'm completely bonker's....

(and I really can't blame them, cause more-than-often-than-not, I think so myself)....

I live to be different, and If, a complete stranger (as such) say's I'm one of a kind, then as far as I'm concerned, I've finally, FINALLY "arrived" / made it in life...

Thank you.....

Bostoe... As ekkies dit reg het Dis mos die laasts radio stasie wat die moite werd is om te luister....

Selfs Classic FM, Vanaf Richard Kock dit oorgeneem speel allerande klomp twak... geen van die groot composisies...

Onthou U nog, Springbok radio? met "Boere raad" en "Squaddies" / "Taxi" / "Mark Saxon no-place-to-hide" / "My pal Shep".......

En as U miskien LM radio geluister, was jy mos n "duck-tail"....

Hell...Those where the days ne...

Oordentelike goed....

Warren, I think most forum members have summed you up as "one of a kind", they just have'nt told you.   You certainly are one of the favourites around here, so you must be doing something right.  Yes, you are different, but you are real.   And we enjoy your tales, as only you can tell it.   I would like to see you and Herman together, you will make a good pair.

Vonnie (not forgetting Scruffy) might just have something to say about that - the two of these nuts together making a good pear - sorry pair!

While you are feeling sorry for yourself, how about from "Riches to Rags"

Riches to Rags would be 3 Ha'pence closer to the truth...

Especially considering you are not part of the "Exclusive" club 

Warren be a sport and call it an EXCLUSIVE.

As it is more of an exclusive than an Jurgens Exclusive. You've got the only one in SA.

Exclusives are a dime a dozen... See them in every park...

Alledagse gesprek in n park.....

"Hallo buurman, (bladskut)...... Sien Jy't n' 2015 Exclusive"...?

"Jaa boet"..

(Soe bietjie stilte... terwyl hulle so staan met dop-in-die-hand en bekyk nou hierdie wit-box-op-wiele)"...

"Het jy enigeiets ge-modify"?

So bietjie... "Kyk hier, moes een van daai bree jockie's opgesit, somme drie duisend Zuptas, n van-mover, en moes my ou Toyotatjie vir n nuwe Ford F250 ruil"...

"Shoe"... "Dis moes n' hele klomp pitte kos"...

"Jaa.... (gesiggie val)... Soe bietjie uit die sak gedryf"....

"Lyk mooi.....En hoe vind jy hom"....

Neewat, boet, somme heel gemaklik....(Glimlag weer bree).... Kyk, hy het n bed, hangkaste, n kombuisie, stort en toilet, en n dining-room wat omskep in n bed"... 

"Enige probleme"?...

"Ag net een of twee klein dingitjies".... (La-a-a-a-nk stilte)"

"Soos"?

"Hulle het iet's nie reg gedoen met die water pyp en die water het gelek... Ongelukkig het ek dit nie agtergekom todat die mif reuk al klaar daar was, en die dealer wou dit nie reg stel, maar ses maande laater na-dat my prokereur CI ge-naader het hulle dit reg... Moes die hele paneel uit en nuwe, hout en paneele insit"...

"En nou ek is net n klein bietjie ge-warry oor die moontelikheid van n kraak boe die deur soos die Penta's"....

"Jaa ek't van daai probleem gehoor"......

ROER.....ROER.....ROER.....

Nog n alledagse gesprek in n' park

“Hallo buurman” (Staan ekkies op van myopvou-baar pool-lounger en lekker bladskud)

“Man, weet u wat, ek kon nie meer my nuuskierigheid weerstaan, en het vroeer kom kyk naa jou trailer en wil net weet.... Sleep jy hom so op-geslaan”?

“Jaa, nes soos daai ou ronde-bek Bedfords met die seil agter?… Dis wat my die idea ge-gee.

“Ek sien Jy’s heel gemaklik, hier’s jou kombuisitjie, jou opwas plekkie, Jou kleedkamer, en hier buite is jou sitkamer, pool-lounger en somme alles…Se my hoe breed is die bed”?

”Dis n volle dubble bed”..

“En ek het gesien jou stort en toilet is op die kant van jou voertuig”?

“Jaa daai-sort-ding doen ek weg van my eet-en-slaap plek”…

Waar de joos het jy op hierdie idea gekry”?

“Funny you should ask, It’s a bit of a long story"… 

"kom on sit"...  Wys ek hom na die pool-lounger...

"Jislaaik! die pool lounger van jou is heel comfortable, ek kan somme die hele dag hier le"...

"Two O’ clock one morning"…. (Ek sny die gesprek hier af want dit gaan aan vir so uur of wat)….

I think Exclusive it should be..................................! ! ! ! !

Warren, I really enjoyed your last two posts and had a good laugh.  It is so true!   Sounds like you have been listening real well to the other campers and having a good snigger about it. And it is about time you get your own back on all the remarks about your Landy,  you can also make remarks.
