Africa

Anyone here watch it last night?

David Attenborough's Africa was phenomenal last night.

The colours, cameras, scenarios, descriptions were as good as anything I've seen (Human Planet).

I'm sure it'll be on catch-up, plus there's another 5 in the series.

Giraffes fighting = immense.

I'll be there in Feb. are there any Giraffes or even D. Att. In Morocco? I'll let you know.

I recorded it. I do like a good David Attenborough series in hd on my LG television.

I watched it on me Toshiba 38".

Was genuinely class.

I find Africa (the place rather than the TV prog) inspiring for my soul. Although I live in a tucked away tiny corner, when I'm there the drive into the local town under clear cobalt blue skies reveals a vista of rolling wheat fields stretching to mounatin ranges which just seem to go on and on. I always say to my dear lady "it's a big country" and it's a vast continent. There's something about vastness that's quite liberating coming from our crowded little island.

David Attenborough has always been a class act who could forget him with the gorillas.

Lg gets my vote -- class

I felt similar driving around Australia last year, particularly WA.

Whereabouts is your gaffe down there? One of my friends runs a charidee in Jo'burg. Like, a prapper one not a 'staff fund' one. Kids orphanage. Been my intention for a while to visit at some stage, but am waiting for it to coincide with an England cricket tour when I've actually got money.

went to morocco a few years back, a guest at big dicky b's luxury pad in the mountains, no less.
what struck me about morocco and the bits of africa we flew over , was its verdent hue. i was expecting an earthy colour.
youll need some sterling or dollars for the unofficial road blocks...

I'm about 100 miles north of CT, Mock, the end of the nippley bit that sticks out. 2 hour drive into Cape Town. Watched a one dayer a couple of years ago where we got royally rogered by the Saffas but I was too pissed to notice by then. I also like watching the Stormers egg chasing at Newlands. Proper passionate crowds and my oppos from other provinces complain 'cos they boo and jeer at the opposition, how unsporting

Ah right, several thousand k away then!

Super 15 is excellent, I saw a bit of it in Brisbo (QLD Reds) and some of it was a step up from even the 6N...well, so much quicker anyway.

Is that table mountain with a tablecloth on?

Good. I'll watch it tomorrow.

Must turn off the proxy before posting on here though!

Fascinating again. Watching lizards risk their lives so they can catch flies buzzing around lions.

That shoebill thing was the closest thing I've ever seen to a real life pokémon.

It's got to best the best flavour Lynx deodorant.

Who the feck is big dicky b? I have researched it fairly well going to take fags for the road blocks and customs so we can get more than a litre of spirits in from Spain. We are travelling for six weeks in a camper van so we will see most of it that we want to, did you travel or just stay in the mountains, Rif or Atlas?
Africa was awesome again.

stayed in the atlas mountains near Asni. Big dicky B is Sir Richard Branson.
