It was a revolutionary song of the anti Apartheid movement, N'Kosi Sikelel iAfrica literally means God bless Africa. It's now the South African national anthem. It's a cosmically beautiful song.
Always loved that song too. Almost feel more patriotic about it than 'Advance Australia Fair', but I can't quite put my finger on why considering I spend very little time back in SA and was born here.

Gotta admit never really got into the South African anthem.

New Zealand have a wicked anthem.

Ours is terrible.
N'Kosi Sikeli reminds me of the old anti Apartheid days in the 80s, good times. I think La Marseillaise is a ripping national anthem especially when belted out by 50,000 Frenchmen. Agree about AAF though, terrible, terrible song.

Been withdrawn apparently, but for a while at least Hadley was officially a violent bully as opposed to just anecdotally.
He's a good mate of Tony Abbott's IIRC, you can tell much about the quality of a person by the company they keep.

Hadley will most likely get ostracized from the conservative community and the public told 'he was always one we had to keep an eye' or some such shit.

shit bloke. was booted out of channel 9. caused issues pretty much everywhere.

but credit where it's due he is a top shelf rugby league radio commentator imo.

Passenger you're a Thompson fan, I got my hands on a first ed of Hell's Angles today after a protracted negotiation on price. That gives me the holy trinity of firsts, Las Vegas, Campaign Trail and now this. It pleases me greatly.
