[QUOTE="ppsinoia, post: 346820, member: 2078"] Hey Andybob: You may not be the only Zimbabwean. I lived in Zimbabwe for 2.5 years (81--83), and when I made a trip "Down South" (i.e. South Africa), I was sometimes referred to by the Slopies as a "Rhodesian,"-- which I took as a compliment. I also learned that the South African students at one of the Universities (I think Durbs) referred to Zimbabwe or Rhodesia as "Texas." I asked why, and was told that the Rhody students at their U. were always talking about how much "bigger and better" everything was in Rhodesia. I was surprized by that, because I thought Texans' reputation for talking up their state was limited to the US--apparently we have an international reputation for that as well. I really appreciated the Rhodys optimistic "can do" attitude, and I had a great time there, even tho the police did "detain" me briefly,under the Emergency Regs for being "a danger to state security." What a country. Mushy steric, as y'all say. [/QUOTE]
