A list of what Africa has given the world that manages to suggest that the truth is

'Not much, really'. wd Guardian.

machete. And Afrikaaners.

[Berni]

That's a bit like blaming the dungheap for flies.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

3 generations later they were Afrikaaners. Made by Africa. :shrug:

My chemist, who hails from Uganda, gave me a gift of vitamin B tablets which he insists I take 3 times a day, as they will make me 'emit a yeasty smell and keep insects away'.

I'm not convinced that I really wish to spend three weeks emitting a yeasty smell.

Your mum emits a yeasty smell, FYI.

I was reading about people in Rwanda dressing as gorillas the other day. Odd lot.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Yes, they seem keen on dressing up as gorillas, and genocide.

That will be the Belgian influence, you see.

[Berni]

human depravity.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

These places always have memorials consisting of piles of skulls.

then subsequently inventing one of your own?

pretty much like a racist cocknoker B tbh..not sure of why you felt need to post that with you nasty little put down ? as obviously years of colonisation and rule over Africa etc makes your whole nasty point bit irrelevant..plus Egypt is Africa and they did pyramids and all kinds of ****..so best best leave it imo

[Luis Anaconda]

rather than Africa being ****. It is a poor article, s. Ironically enough though, if this is the case, b is merely agreeing with the collection of rather humourless guardianistas who bothered to comment below the line

[Snin]

with everone laughing at dying babies etc...cant be arsed with it

[Berni]

And you don't get to claim indigenous flora (coffee) and fauna (human beings), since they aren't really an achievement. Also, Africa spent many millennia not being colonised. We didn't turn up there, rip down their advanced civilisations and start from scratch - the place was pretty backward when we got there.

And actually, I was criticising the cackhanded and counterproductive article, not the premise that Africa has given some things to the world, so up yours you sanctimonious knob :vsign:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Maybe not, how would I know? Or, indeed, how would you?

[Luis Anaconda]

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Apart from Monty, but he doesn't count.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They just make **** up. 'Tony, come and see this! See how this stone has a black mark on it? That's evidence of burning, which proves conclusively that this was a site used for smelting iron which proves conclusively that we have discovered a Roman/Bronze Age/Victorian mega-city!' Huurah!

f**k all overgrown f**king schoolboy university****s in the arse.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Those middle-easterns are a bit savage, mate.

[Berni]

who did all the Time Team.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'd also like to drag them out of their schools and make them do a real day of work.

Lazy educated c**ts.
