It's not everyday that you get to go on national TV to audition for Idols South Africa, so the experience itself would probably be quite unforgettable for most people, however for one certain young lady, this experience is no doubt going to be completely unforgettable not only for herself, but for the rest of South Africa aswell… just because of a sneaky little fart…

I do feel quite sorry for this doll to say the least…. you get people going onto this show and purposely make absolute idiots out of themselves either by thinking they can actually sing or because they actually want the rest of the country to know that they are ridiculously lame, but here this poor girl goes on there to give it her best but unwillingly ambushes herself thanks to her nerves, by letting rip… and it wasn't just a nice little silent one that may have gone un-noticed, this was a one times banger fart, quite possibly the loudest fart I have ever had the displeasure of hearing from a woman… yes I'm one of those guys who still believes girls don't fart and they certainly don't shit either

Check out the video below…

Priceless

I guess we've all had our embarrassing moments… some worse than others… but I guess this takes the cake

Shame I'm sure it will all "blow" over for her soon enough

Not long ago you may remember when Walker's brought out some really odd flavoured chips…  You'll remember that "Builder's Breakfast" was voted as the best flavour which they said they'd keep… It seems Simba is following suite as if good old Salt and Vinegar, Tomato Sauce or Smoked Beef are just too boring these days…

To be quite honest, when Walker's did bring out those odd flavours I tried one and never went any further with the whole thing.
The reason being is that The Phreak introduced me to one flavour, namely this…

Now for those that did have the pleasure of tasting these will probably remember the event quite well, and for those that didn't, well here's a bit of a description of what they tasted like…

Take a good sized fish, leave it outside on the wall in the sun for a few days and let the birds peck at it a bit, then leave it to rot at the bottom of your dustbin for a couple weeks letting all the rotten smelly liquid bits of festering waste seep and soak into the carcass… after about 2 weeks take it out from the bottom of your bin and give it one nice big wet lick… yup! thats what it pretty much tasted like… I wasn't even going to go near Cajun Squirrel after that…..

Now I know in the past Simba has brought out some interesting flavours which you probably wouldn't even twice before scoffing your way through them… I'm talking about Steer's Spare Rib flavour and Biltong flavour…

But excuse me when I say this but….

What the Fuck is this… ??? haha

I remember from wayyyy back in the school days when we used to buy Vetkoek from the tuck shop, it came with either mince or syrup (never combined)… but polony??? You sure you don't wanna throw the pigs eye in there aswell for decoration

Wait for it….

No… wait for it…

ONLY IN SA! haha

Check out their other flavours here… quite amusing… Something tells me that Snoek and Atchar may very well fit the same recipe and description above regarding Walker's Fish and Chips flavour… but I'll you be the judge… Do me a favour, go out and buy a packet and then YouTube your reaction when you first taste them  :)

I don't think there's ever been a Blue Bulls game where their fans haven't gone all out and beyond extreme, as if there was a grand prize of a kiff new 4×4 Toyota Hilux bakkie for the most over the top dress or accessorization possible that would show that they in fact support the bulls, and if that wasn't bad enough, they even claim that their blood is blue… FOKKEN PRAWNS!

The Ballie sent me this today, and along with the pic he jokingly said, "gives me an idea". Now for those of you that know him, my Ballie is a serious serious die hard Sharks fan, my mom was also cc'ed on the email and lets just say, I don't think she saw the funny side, I could feel the death stare she gave him in his direction from over 100 miles away sitting at my desk.

Now we know they are a little obsessed about their team… but good lord! 

And we thought the poms were extreme… can't say I've ever seen a Man U house…

wait for it……………… wait for it………………. only in SA

Lets just say, if ever any blue bulls players get kidnapped by some deluded obsessed fan, we know where we'll find them….

shame

I've said it a million times but I'll say it again… I thought I'd seen it all… until now… Check this kiff new brand of low profile tyres spotted in a parking lot at OR Tambo Airport in Joburg. 

The brand is the new extremely affordable Green Mamba which only comes in a super low profile, so low that it gives the illusion that your rims are touching the ground. Made from 100% used green hosepipe makes them affordable to everyone and guaranteed to give you a wild ride…. ja, thats what happened to your hosepipe that someone stole off your front lawn… I guess the sprinkler is used as part of the fuel injection system on this bad boy Ford Escort!

Wait for it…..

ONLY IN SA!!! haha

Now I don't really like posting email joke forwards up on PharSide since most people have already seen them and its not fresh, but I got this one today that honestly made me chuckle at my desk for quite a long time… its the best I've seen in a while

So here goes….

You know you're flying S.A.A. when you ask the air hostess for the black pepper and she brings you…

Check out the new paint job on South Africa's low-cost airline Kulula.com

You've gotta love this South African touch, which as you know is a break from formality with two tablespoons of humorous touch.

Apparently it was quite a bright spark idea to do this and it looks like whoever came up with this bright spark idea at Kulula is in for a big bonus this year. Pictures of the plane are circulating wildly over the net and even in The Sun newspaper here in the UK, which as you can imagine is doing wonders for Kulula's advertising campaign since the World Cup is just around the corner and thousands of soccer fans are gonna be looking for cheap flights to get around the country… which airline is going to be at the forefront of their little hooligan minds?

I'd say thats a WIN for Kulula

Check it out!

Check out this new SA Model Ford Courier Drifter 5 Tonner Bakkie spotted apparently cruising along towards Limpopo… absolute truth that they really are "Built Ford Tough"…

Well sweet mother of I don't know… how this oke actually made it from whereever he came from to this petrol station is beyond me to say the least. Just proof that only in SA can a man move an entire contruction site (note yellow building waste pipes perched at the top) complete with house to be assembled elsewhere, on the back of one single bakkie… this guy must be a true genius, in order to move such a top heavy load at any speed besides standing still takes absolute precision and skill… the guy must be a Jenga King!

But ja, there you go… you see, right there… Only in SA my china

I would love to know the little freak out you'd get, by cruising up behind this oke to overtake at a mild 160kph expecting it to be an 18 wheeler… one word along with a facial expression springs to mind…"huh"

You've got to laugh at the stupidity of this Evil Knievel wannabe, this dude was spotted clinging to the back of a truck going down the N1 in Cape Town on Monday morning. Not much more I can say that the pictures wont, so here they are… enjoy

Look up ahead, its a bird, its a plane… nought bru, its a dude on the back of a truck

Lets get a closer look…

Don't look now, but you've got some badass kerels on your ass… try blend in by not looking back, maybe they won't see you…

Oh dear…. I reckon his banging his head on the back of that truck for this..bang! bang! bang!.. off to chookie!

I mean come on… did he think he wouldn't get noticed… maybe he only thought from the front..

Only in SA
