Hey guys, if you haven't sent me round one yet, it's due Thursday. I'll post results then. Trust me, the results are the part that's most fun!

Also, I would love it if you could make the effort to invite one or two others to play. The more the merrier!

Thanks!

I was waiting for some others to submit their answers, but I haven't gotten enough to go forward with this. There's not enough people to play. Sorry guys! Thanks for playing anyway.

Darn. If I had only not lost internet connection, I could have answered #3 and been a little less behind.

So stadig loop ons deur die pers Jakarandas wat val,die bome word kaal Pa staar na die beeld van Botha wat reis op sy perd,Hy wonder was bloed soveel werd.Soveel jare dra hy aan die naam van 'n plek,Soveel jare moet ons nou laat gaan,Is die naam dan so erg,so bitter en sleg?Hoekom gooi jul dit weg?

I sent me answers... :cry:
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*
