Changing The World With Brandy And Coke

This is the record of a discussion held on the terrace of the Lodge at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve on 15 September 2008.



“The 50/50 Foundation,” Henry said, “is not some movement located at the lunatic fringe of society. No, it’s at the very centre of lunacy, because it rejects many of the core values and customs of the present global community.”

“Religion and nationalism? I defecate on the altar of religious conviction, and wipe my arse on the flag of national pride.”
Ian Martin, Pop-Splat

“You never know what’s lurking in the bloodstream, or skulking under the foreskin, or squatting in the liver, or flitting hither and thither from branch to branch in the bronchial forest.”
Ian Martin, Henry Fuckit's Nursing Notes

“My mission is to offend and insult the bourgeois defenders of the status quo, and entertain those who enjoy sex, violence and sick humour in their face and without apology.”
Ian Martin

“Moral writing is boring.”

Ian Martin, Pop-Splat

“Ever met a sympathetic doctor? No ways. They’re always impatient, glancing at the watch, calculating the price of your sickness against the price of another pair of shoes for the bitch wife with the reluctant cunt.”

Angela Hi Ian,
Finally got round to reading to 'Kikaffir' and loved it, but then I have a rather sick sense of humour!

Glad it arrived sooner than I expected. Yes,the sight of foreign stamps is becoming something of a nostalgia trip. The romance of childhood fantasies,exotic adventures.


Angela Copy of 'Kikaffir' arrived in the mail today. It's rather sad that I got excited at the sight of South African stamps on the envelope! Thank you very much, I look forward to reading it soon.
