*races to search tinternet for complete lyrics of aforementioned top tune*

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

And here they are...

I've Never met A Nice South African - sung by Spitting Image

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru
I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Tinbuktu
I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in Nepal
And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall
I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner
But I've never met a nice South African.

No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant b***tards
Who hate black people

I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait
I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late
I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool
I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school
I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German
But I've never met a nice South African.

No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers
Who smell like baboons

I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind
That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind
I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings
I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings
I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig
But I've never met a nice South African.

No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths
With no sense of humour - ha ha

I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire
At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire
I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies
I met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two willies
I've had a nice pot noodle but I've never had a poodle
And I've never met a nice South African.

No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
Because we've never met one either
Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris. (farts)

Yes he's quite a nice South African
And he's hardly ever killed anyone
And he's not smelly at all.
That's why they put him prison.

You won't have time to go to anywhere worth while to see game. Krugers is half a days drive from Pretoria and advance booking is a must nowadays. Private game 'reserves' will show you the big 5 but most of them aren't really that brilliant and they cost as well. Keep your car doors locked and NEVER EVER have things like wallets on display. Be careful in changing money in banks. They have a new scam where one photographs you on their phone and then passes the phone on to an accomplice outside so they are not seen leaving the bank at the same time as you.

Don't walk anywhere after dark and always be alert.

Love then place, going there myself on Sunday as it happens but it is dangerous unless you are careful.

I currently work with two South Africans, like so many they have left there as they feel the country is going down the pan.

One is a very nice bloke who openly admits he's here because he has better prospects but the other is obnoxious. He was taken off one team because they just didn't like him. Mind you over half of te team were of Afro Carribean extraction which might have been a factor.

I got pissed off with him the other day when he was complaining about the UK and suggested that he f*** off back to SA if it was so much better. Naturally he didn't have an answer.

Pretoria is/was very cheap, in more ways than one. Avoid taxis, unless you booked through your hotel - I had a drunk driver take me to Jan Smuts and he had never been there before. You, knowing your lonney left views, would probably enjoy a tour around one of the townships like Soweto. Millionaires building houses that are overlooked and surrounded by shanty towns, very odd. Also, the parliament buildings are worth a look. Some good markets for local crafts and produce just seem to appear in car parks. I reccomend a monkey gland burger if you are after some fast food.

I just love the way all of the South Afrikaaner kiddies suddenly developed a passionate Aussie-like passion for back-packing round the world round about, oh, thirty six hours after the downfall of apartheid.

Never met a nice one yet. Fact.

I have but I would be lying to say that they were a majority.

 

[swindonseagull]

very cheap in Pretoria it is a big University City, also lots of very poor areas..

In the city there is a Square full of bars called "hatfield square" at either end of the squares there are big resteraunts one a very memorable steak house ( and many meats of all varieties) I think it was called "geronimoes"
I was in Pretoria for work, I enjoyed it but I would not pay to go there.

 

[Stinky Kat]

What band you in?

Funnily enough my white parents (who are both quite nice) left South Africa in 1960 because they thought the people running the place were total scumbags.

 

[Everest]

Do not f*** ANYONE over there.
Seriously.

Does that mean you can f*** them for a laugh?
