AndreZA Posted September 18, 2006 Share One thing that is really starting to work on my ......muscles is how un-original the race names has become. First it's the Giro this or Tour de that. We are not in Europe, get an english name for Pete's sake. And secondly is the new series of Something-2-Something names. It started of with the Grace 2 grace which was actually from the Grace hotel in Sandton to the Grace spa in Magaliesburg and the Hyper-to-Hyper from one hyper to another. But now you get the Dome-2-Dome, Monument-2-Monument, Campus-2-Campus (okay that is also a different start then the finish) and quite a few others. Can't these people be original with their selection of names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIVETRAIN Posted September 18, 2006 Share Mampara U must understand the thinking behind this countries "Powers that be"......they re-name streets/Airports/Suburbs and the list is endless...then comes the "we want to be like the first world countries" where we adopt standards/codes and processes But can they do it?? are they capable? me thinks not.....for e.g...Survivor SA, Weakest link, Who wants to be a millionnairre???? Originality ??? who are they kidding?? Need I say more ??? "DT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canaris Posted September 19, 2006 Share Any trip in Africa is known as a SAFARI or a TREK. You know, "Die Groot Trek" Die Dorseland Trek", or if you are imaginative you could try Oorlog, Genocide, or humanitarian disaster, like the Rwandan Genocide, THe Eerste, Tweede and Derde Bevrydings Oorloe, the humanitarian disaster of Darfur, Ethiopia, ext. Mass migrations, internally displaced persons (IDP's) ext are other possibilities. Personally, I would stick with SAFARI or TREK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
