CHAIRMANrsquoS CHAT
I have always preached the fact that you should never leave your camera at home
especially if you are going to an interesting place or event Once again this proved to be
true when I decided to visit the Gauteng motor show at the Rock Raceway in Brakpan
Firstly we have set the scene If you are going to hold a motor show then it has to be in
Brakpan This is where the serious petrol heads are It is not like having being shown in
Sandton for example Those guys are just posers In Brakpan methanol runs through the
menrsquos veins and all breathe Nitrous Oxide There is real grease under their fingernails
As we were about to leave for the show I decided to take my camera along For some
reason I also decided to take my 24-70mm f28 lens as well Sometimes I donrsquot take the
lens because it is very expensive and I go a bit paranoid looking after it Irsquom so glad that
I did We arrived in the afternoon when the light was already getting quite low One of
the exhibitions was the extreme motocross Irsquom sure that you have seen photographs
already The riders fly over huge jumps then let go of the bikes and do all sorts of
tricks I was able to stand exactly where I liked and the light was really great The sky
was a perfect blue which wasnrsquot actually the best as it looked like the shots were taken
in a studio
I loved every minute of it I just knew that they were worthy of gold awards as soon as I
looked at them on the camera Sometimes things just work out but it helps if you tip the
scales in your favour by being prepared
See you at the next meeting

HUMOUR
Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

HUMOUR
Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

HUMOUR
Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

HUMOUR
Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

Golf Logic
Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

Four old timers were playing their weekly game of golf when one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning roll out of bed and without any arguments go directly to the golf course and meet his buddies to play a round or two
His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat

His buddies all chimed in said Lets do it Well make it a priority figure out a way and well meet here early on Christmas morning
And true to their agreement on the 25th of December all of them are on the golf course The first guy says Boy this game cost me a bloody fortune I bought my wife a diamond ring that she cant take her eyes off of The second guy says I spent a ton too My wife is at home planning the overseas cruise I gave her She is up to her eyeballs in travel brochures The third guy says Well my wife is at home admiring her new car reading the manual Then they all turn to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they have lost their minds I cant believe you guys went to such expense for this game of golf When I woke up this morning I slapped my wife on her bottom and said Well babe Merry Christmas Its a great morning -- intercourse or golfcourse She said Dont forget your hat
