I might live in the (second most) ass end of the world (the Aussies officially hold that title), but I still get to meet lots of really cool bloggers (and non-bloggers – hey Shauna!).
I’ve already met the lovely Alex and the very clever Millie (twice!) and today I got to meet the gorgeous Lynette and her equally G&D husband. Lynette is just like me; infertile, has braces and loves wine. And G&D, of course. We could be twins!
Love meeting divine bloggers, makes me feel all connected and global village’ish.
Cross all your bits that Lynette’s cycle works. Please.
New rule: When you come to Cape Town you have to meet up with me so that I can brag about how cosmopolitan and connected I am.

ASS END???
Hurumph. We have very decent wine here. Cricketers that can kick SA butt. And movie stars that are taking over the USA. Why get an American to play an American role when you can have an Aussie?
There is that annoying accent of ours, though. And the poisonous spiders, snakes. Bloody big bugs. Steve Irwin (sorry about that).

Hey! I fit all 3 criteria as well! Can I be the triplet? Please???

Jodie. I truly appreciate the apology for Steve Irwin. Honestly, I do. I'm glad someone will apologize for him. And in the spirit of "Pay it Forward", I hereby apologize to the British for Madonna. Seriously. Sorry about her.
Tertia: See - one more thing your blog is good for besides making me laugh and cry. You bring nations together to bond over assholes.

I PROMISE I will see you if I come to Capetown (from Canada) which is actually entirely realistic as my husband is an academic who goes all over, and because I have a new (Canadian) friend from SA (who's also infertile :() who tantalizes me with stories of it.
Who's Steve Irwin? Too lazy to Google him. And I hereby apologize to the world, especially Switzerland (where she now lives) (go figure) for Shania Twain. If it makes you feel any better about her, her real name was Irene Twain!

Oh jeez, I'd be apologizing for inflicting Celine on the world. Now for *that* we are truly sorry.
T, I hereby promise that if I should ever make it to CT, you will be the first person I meet up with!

If can muster the courage to do a transatlantic flight, you are the first person I'm coming to see!

That reminds that I never sent an email to tell you what a fantastic time I had in Cape Town when I visited (sadly a Tertia-less visit ). Actually there are so many things to do that there was hardly time to squeeze in anything else. We did go to Blues restuarant in Camps Bay as you suggested and thought it was very lovely, not least due to the G&D waiter who very diplomatically settled our argument about where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. Our best meal, however, was in Kalk Bay at the Harbour House. Must admit that the 13 flight from Paris was exhausting but we will definitely be back.

Yep, except it's the "arse" end of the world, not "ass". You must get the horrible Orstrayan accent right.
I hereby apologise to the rest of the world for Russell Crowe. No, sod that, why apologise for a Kiwi? I'll take Crowded House and Phar Lap, but you can have that thug.
Oh, yeah, if Australia's the arse end, what does that make NZ? Sorry, this blog is not the place for sheep-shagger bashing. ;) Will stop now.

Lynette, lots of good vibes coming to you from Colorado today.
