Way to reduce your carbon footprint, mostly by increasing your print on tarmac. It sure looks like fun!

This priceless picture thanks to Lady Jay Dee’s blog.

Suggestion was perhaps several trips at worst. At best, bus or other means of transport where they would not be so exposed to the elements or danger of critical injury.

I do hope they made it to their destination safe and sound.

Some Crap Tropical Please.

And step on it!

There is someone waiting for a suggestion? Help! Comments are most welcome.

Aparently towns go visiting Parliaments all willy nilly.

I would suggest that they pay more attention to their work, yes?

Thanks to @nairobinotes for the heads up.

Complete and Utter Helmet Fail

see more pwn and owned pictures

Suggestion: use the helmet sitting right in front of you on the handlebars… Really, I’ve seen a lot of guys who had to make do, but this guy has a workable helmet that’s unused.

Overload Failure

Those who have lived in Africa know this isn’t staged. It might be excessive, but not staged. My suggestion? Hell, I don’t know what to say… maybe make wider roads?

Signage Failure (a new category)

Yes, this is probably one of the funniest things to see in Africa… Snap your favorite signs, billboard and poster failings in Africa, send them this way. This definitely needs its own category!

What?

Snapped in Newtown. Newtown, which is ironically one of the oldest parts of Joburg

Tinted windows? Really? C’mon…That’s just wrong now.

Mini-Bus? No, More like Mega-FAIL!

Chair FAIL Turns Nene into Interweb Celebrity

When a chair that probably had seen better days decided to go asunder, right under the very eminent Mr. Nene, who at the time was being interviewed live in studio on SABC2’s A View from the House, it shot him to instant interweb celebrity.

The horror of it all as he looks, desperately hopeful that there would be no aftershocks after the initial thunderous crack as some seemingly important bits of the chair suspension gave in followed seconds later by the full collapse right in the middle of his reply.

What I think takes the cake here is that the presenter skipped right onto the next news item like dude had not a scant instant previously, vanished under the desk! A right trooper, I know I would have definitely joined him under the table clutching my sides as I laughed my head off.

He was apparently retrieved and handed a new chair and the interview proceeded after a short ad break.

The First Ever 3 X 3m Highrise Building, Probably.

Rear view

Front view, note the spiral steel staircase. No, it is not the fire escape.

We are moving on up, to a highrise apartment in the skyhiiiigh…The Jeffersons sure did not have this apartment in mind when they were writing that theme song, yes?

Snapped from: Sibbie’s Blog.

Would you believe me if I told you that this is a HOSTEL!!!

LOCATION: Juja [Nairobi - Thika Road]

APPROXIMATE SIZE: 100 square feet! (3m by 3m)

But I understand why he did this…Hostels in Juja sell like hot cake! There’s a huge demand for them. I hope he gets tenants though…

I personally think this is an EPIC WIN.
