several years.

An electric lawnmower wouldn't make a lot of noise?

I have a snow blower and I am not afraid to use it. Even at 6:30 a.m.
A friend just said There is a reward in heaven for you!  Perhaps he was
being sarcastic.
I am also presuming heaven. My neighbors might presume otherwise.

The spirit of De la Rey? Brandishing a firearm in public can easily lead to 
being arrested. Pulling off a shot - attempted murder.

South Africans must have changed since I was there in 1998. We all came back 
to where we were staying in Cape Town after a stag night, arriving home at 
the same time as the women from their hen party, so we all continued on the 
roof until about 3am when there was a shout from the street. We looked down 
to see a heavily-bearded Boer type in his pyjamas, carrying a hunting rifle, 
who shouted up at us in a strong Afrikaans accent if you lot don't bloody 
shut up right now I'm going to come up there and shoot you all!.


We shut up.

I bet you have one of those fuckin' leaf blowers for the summer too.


Used one of those for the first time this year.
But mine is chaste.

People in SA have become very passive towards that sort of thing. The 
culture of the masses takes precedence. The police won't act and private 
litigation is costly, time consuming  very unpleasant. If a person of 
another race is involved, you are branded a racist. We just have to grin  
bear it.

How is he still alive?  At least electric mowers are a bit quieter.
