Congrats on your new house that you have found in Durbanville, may it always be a happy home.

Paula, are you talking to yourself again? Who is Jackie?

Hey Pau, wonder if Jackie'll be able to post from her cell 202

Jacs hope the house is big enough for all of us when we come over for a holiday. Once you've settled you'll be coming over here for dad's big 70th, have you told Nods yet?

Happy moving dol

Hi Michael.
Recently I read that there are no more knowen cases of mad cow disease. If I remember well, the first cases occured in England. Do you think it's starting off again and this time initiated by humans??

and so on...

Georg
went to a lecture recently - and you are mistaken about mad cow disease.

I have added a link for your reading pleasure - sorry it's in English maybe you can use some of the words to look for German articles.

Bovine spongiforme Enzephalopathie

Are we talking about the same desease Barb?

barb (Fry) · September 13, 2008, 07:55:23 PM

Ja boet we are...............

Until several years ago, it was thought that the cattle prion disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy -- also called BSE or mad cow disease -- was a foodborne disease. But new findings suggest that mad cow disease also is caused by a genetic mutation within a gene called Prion Protein Gene. Prion proteins are proteins expressed abundantly in the brain and immune cells of mammals.

Suggest? Does this mean hey're sill not sure? Sometimes I'm not sure how certain words are meant. Please give me a hand.
We were all worried for a long time....

Hi Jacs, hows the packing going? Sorry Pau and I arn't there to help

We had a good laugh the other night...David has to do his driving test all over again because the DVLA here in the UK don't recognize the Namibian driving licence.

Funny thing is, they recognise Zims driving licence, can't figure that one, anyway you can imagine, David's not impressed.

Anyhow he's bought the books and DVD to start leaning and the other night we put the DVD on the computer and we all did the test. David and Noel haven't done it yet but Charl, Dean, Greg and I failed......Paula passed and she doesn't drive over here. OMG! I don't hear the end of it now. Mind you they say don't drink and drive, so that must apply to, don't drink and do the test. I'm going to do my again without a bottle of red wine.

Paula and Noel's Namibian licence was returned but thank goodness they still have their licence in their SA ID book which we're now going to send. Watch this space for the results.

and

to the kids and Nods
