Les, Trin... come on down! You're both winners!
Here she is, Legion of Fans (LOF), the diminutive Mrs Blog, drawing the lucky winner of a fabulous SILENT PREDATOR Audio Book (published by my very good friends at Bolinda) from her pith helmet (note careful product placement in the background).In fact, we were both so overcome with excitement during the draw that I instructed Mrs B to draw not one, but two lucky winners.
The winners are.... Les, from South Africa, and Trin, from Australia. How sportsmanlike is that? One winner from each of our great nations (and it wasn't even rigged).
If you've just joined us, to be in the running for this (very generous) competition, Les and Trin and many other loyal readers posted their favourite African movies here.
I thank you all for your comments and rest assured this is just the first of many giveaways I have in store for the future (well, as long as I keep getting published and publishers keep sending me free stuff).
Congratulations, Les and Trin, please email me your names and addresses to mail(at)tonypark(dot)net.
And now, to round off our African movie phase I leave you with this long and lovely trailer of the John Wayne epic, Hatari. The trailer includes special bonus scenes, namely Elsa Martinelli nude in the bathtub, and the Duke, big John Wayne, reluctantly succumbing to Elsa's very forward and very continental advances ("I ain't gonna kiss ya, I ain't gonna kiss ya.... the HELL I ain't).
(Warning, several game capture vehicles and stunt doubles were harmed in the making of this movie)

Cool video clip, I loved it. Now next photo can we please see Mrs Blogs face? Gargoyle lost his photos on the works camera, can you imagine!!
A woose is also [in Canada] a cross between a moose and a walruss and often seen late at night by persons leaving places of intoxication.
Here endeth the lesson
If you don't all behave then there will be no more fabulous giveaways.
Ali G, stop sulking, take a teaspoon of cement, and leave a comment. (You know very well where to get cheap audio books).
Having said all that, Anonymous if you don't create a profile soon and don't stop adjudicating spelling then I will not ever buy you a schooner of VB again.
I hope I have made myself clear on all these points.
Les and Trin, your prizes are in the mail.
Didn't win anything but at least THEY let me buy a ticket...sigh
<^..^>
Congrats to Trin & Les.
I won a Mercedes Benz once but that's not like winning a TP talking book.
Maybe I'll be allowed in the draw for the upcoming TP safari if I stop my sulking?
I've cowboyed up now thank you Parks
My local pub has a weekly "joker" draw which has jackpotted to $3000, alas, I can't even win a ticket to go into the draw but I'm gonna keep trying....
Thanks for the support Trev
Who/what was Adam? Could he talk? Did he have a tool? He didnt need to be plugged into a socket.
Are you there yet boys or do I need to spell it out? And as most of you are already trained to take the garbage out, no probs.
In the meantime,,, root, shoot, or marry?

Anyway did get the joke but make it a policy to try & ignore ones made by very naughty girls like you.
That said, I am totally behind Anon comment-correcter number one here.
In Australian terms it is most certainly "wuss" as the preferred spelling, but the "woose" variation has great potential and just saying it out loud is bringing back fond memories of a backpacking Canadian quarterback that I once knew (and oh how I knew him...)
Ahem. So, Tony, it wasn't me and you can stop sending me rude messages suggesting it was or else I won't vote for you in your latest ego-drive.

ps - the word verification is "apeholed1", which sounds like something the pirate monkeys might to do - or in - your tent.
