Yes we did. I suppose it would be difficult to get used to.

Also, this is such a good time for you to come. Our finance minister just got sacked (for dodgy, corruption-related reasons) and the Rand is fucked.

make sure you do this in johannesburg: http://www.mainstreetwalks.co.za/tours/inner-ci…

Jhb also has some really good museums: my favourite is probably the constitution hill one (you get a tour of the constitutional court and the old jail). Other good museums are the Apartheid museum (obviously), the Hector Peterson…

I guess an advantage of living in a country with some of the highest numbers of people living with HIV is that ARVs are (finally) free.

I get this, but also, yeeeeesh

This is so weird. I hate it.

I think this might be perfect

I’m a medical student from Southern Africa (region with the highest rates of HIV)

Because as my grandfather (a surgeon) used to say: “Any idiot can become a doctor.”
As a medical student I can attest to the fact that all you need to graduate medschool is a good memory and the ability to pick up some practical skills. This is not the same as being intelligent.
And for surgery all you need is good…

that’s all right. I got it :)

It does make me really happy when hashtags can mean something that does not gel with what that person was trying to say, or what they stand for.

#CapitaliseYourHashtagsPeople!!

I read this in one night too. Unbelievably riveting.

As a South African I did not enjoy the bit on how Trump is like an African president. Otherwise it’s been all right.
The interviews have been uniformly cringeworthy though.

The year after Deathly Hallows came out, I started my architecture degree. On one of the boards in the first year studio someone (presumably from the year before) had written “Harry Potter lives!!”
I’m sure that person ruined someone’s 2007.

WOW, I did not expect the level of hate appearing in the comments.

That’s reeeeeeeeeeally unattractive. I suppose it’s all squashed from the vaginal canal: not a good look on any species

I find it so AWKS to watch movies/series about people who are still alive. I cringed all the way through The Queen, despite Helen Mirren’s always- incredible presence. I couldn’t stop thinking about how off it must have seemed to the people who were portrayed.

When I started reading the title I thought this was going to be about how to calculate how many eggs you have left in your ovaries :/

I irrationally LOVE Devil Wears Prada but am intensely annoyed by her presence in it.
Can deal with her in most other things though (except hosting the Oscars with James Franco)
