was in d grocery when i heard about some kinda "coo" & town on fire , i wondering wtf is a coo - only to learn after it was spelt coup but pronounce coo

never really knew about bakr until this moment

honestly i was damn happy when it had curfew - place used to be so nice , peaceful & quiet ... police only c u outside & they on ur case 1 time

i like how ppl had to do whatever in d limted amt of time & find dey ass home by 6pm

d way d crime is now i find we need a curfew like 9 or 10pm ...

Was listening to the Shell cup final on the radio. If I remember correctly, they announced in the stadium that a coup was goin' on and for a while neither the crowd nor the players could be bothered...match continued as normal.

Can't remember if they finished it eventually tho'... :lol:

anyone remember that they played Kenn G on the radio for nearly a week straight?
everyone had to endure it playing over and over and over again waiting to hear news updates.
Imagine we went through that coup and curfew and everything, most of us without cell phones! Kinda hard to imagine now!

ok lemme break it down for you
most ppl who use the term nara have no clue what it is.......all they know is they lift something heavy and have this pain in the pit of their stomach......usually treated by someone massaging their stomach, sometimes tying a piece of cloth tightly around their abdomen until the pain subsides.......so he prolly say he had nara cus he did not realise it was a minor hernia
