You can be lucky you're not flying from the brand new Terminal 5.... 28000 pieces of luggage still there waiting to go to their destination since it opened last week...
South Africa has Jacob Zuma to embarras them in front of the whole world and the UK has Terminal 5 at Heathrow...

very very nice
Costaplenty? yes
Be happy that the Bus is going to OZ with its owner. chances are that he probably wont sell it.
As I have said before, if I or any of my family left here, the V-dubs would go with them !

Amazing.... just to think how things go in circles.
I bought that fan in Benoni probably in 2002, now its done a round trip to the Cape, then sold back to the Vaal only to go back to the PE coast and back up the the Vaal again.
Are you saying the cooling system worked? Dont suppose you will be able to get another photo?
