So what town you from?

[zimajays]

What town do we all hail from? And any special reasons why you reckon your town was the best?

[licorice]

Bulawayo.... reason, it was just the bestest place to live ever, we had Matopos on the door step and lovely wide roads with bumps....:smiley36::smiley36: The bestest park with minature railway and at Christmas the best decorations and carols by candelight in the park.

Ok - my participation here may be under false pretences, having never been a Zimbo but a Zambo. However, I consider I was only away from Bullies as people would be who are at boarding school - most of my school holidays were spent there.

I have a great affection for that city, with wonderful times spent and lots of memories. And I preffered it vastly over Harare.

[Angelshark]

Bulawayo is a one horse town and the horse got the shit kicked out of him by the donkey that then took over and subsequently died. I would still live in Bulawayo before Harare because of the historical value and the people there are generally a nicer bunch. I do get nostalgic moments of when I was in Bulafufu, and they are stronger than the ones from H-Town. Plumtree is where I spent my school days and travelled to Bulies every Thursday to play sport. Hockey was my choice of sport then U/13-2nd team goalie.

[Howard Neill]

I grew up in Harare. When I joined the BSAP, I was posted to Bulawayo. I love both, but there are more family in Harare.

aaHHHA - The bull he prefers Bullies -

[pennymac]

I'm from West nic really, but I tell people I'm from Bulawayo, because no one has ever heard of it. I think Bulawayo is the nicest city in zim, because of the park, and the museum, and the people, to name but a few!!!

Well, I *live* in Harare....but from beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada! I realise that doesn't really count, but thought I would put my two cents worth in anyway. :smiley36:

[Blondie_jd]

weeeeeeelllllll by the looks of it Byo rocks and H-town sucks, but we all knew that anyways... me being a born and bred Byo Convent Girl... which may answer for some of my behaviour, and how we used to look forward to the Bording School busses coming into Town, we used to Race the Falcon boys bus out along the esigodini road... only coz I used to live out that way. And every sunday we used to stock up with booze and go have a braai and drink like super heros at matopos!

Anyone remember the old drive in... we used to sneak all our mates in ... in the boot of the car! I got food posoining form the chips there once!

[zimajays]

Eish - no one else from Chriedzi by the sea? Ahhh well, you oakes wouldn't have been able to keep up anyways....

Chabuku, peach schnapps, Chilojo Cliffs, no food, MEGA HANGOVER after 3 days.....

those were the days.....


I also remember arriving at the Citrus swimming pools (pool in the middle of a citrus plantation), but that is it, big black hole in the memory bank.

I got thrown outta Triangle pub for boxing another chick on the nose... stupid bitch had a dam hard nose...

I was also the cricket scorer for the cricket team, Saturday was ok for scoring, Sunday was a bitch man... them white things on the field did nothing for a hangover....

yup! them were the days....

[Blondie_jd]

only good thing aboue QweQwe was the Wimpy place at the garage.... mmmmm, YUMMO! And didn't they have a good Pie shop... I only went there when we were passing through or to go to my dad's quarry with him!

[Nyala]

Mutare was the greatest place to grow up - all my rebellious years were spent at Motors, Sports and occasionally Le Casa. We had the Vumba, Inyanga, Mont Claire, Juliasdale and Lake Alex / Smallbridge. Every weekend there was something going on at Chipinga, Chimanimani etc, etc. It was an awesome place for a young person at that time.

[SpaRHawK]

Some of my best shamwari's in the world hail from kwekwe (and I was born in GWELO.....) - they have strange habits and can hardly use cutlery, are almost house trained but they are always there when you need them and fully prepared to have a dop or two. Top folks indeed.
:smiley2::whistling:

[barto11]

kwekwe was only good for having an On-The-Run, with pizza inn and chicken inn...useful for getting lunch on the way to Falcon for rugby trips

[Chick]

Kwe Kwe was good for much more than that Barto.... anyhooo..... go Gweru!!

[barto11]

Kwe Kwe was good for much more than that Barto.... anyhooo..... go Gweru!!

Not for hungry Harare boys it wasnt :D

[Angelshark]

As much as a dorp Gweru was they had a great little place that we would stop at on our way to scholl called Granny's Kitchen. Great food and good prices.

Hmm - Boards you need to shhhh. You are showing your complete lack of basic geographical knowledge of the country you say you were born in! I guess that comes from going to the Stone Budgies...

[zimajays]

Ya I bet yoyu say that to all the visitors to the lowveldt


nah, generally when you first arrive in the lowveld, you are taken to a bar call Gazonya on top of a hill, there you are taught the ways of the locals... only once you have your guds / knickers ripped off you and thrown in the rafters, do you get to have your first meal. You could by this time have been there a couple of days...
