I Met Hitler In Zambia Recently Oh Yes I Did

[Dee Sa]

I went for my son Harry's 60th birthday and met my d-I-law's boss at the party, he was actually christened Hitler ! what were his parents thinking of ?? I was also curtseyed to like the queen. apparently all women give a bob type curtsey when the meet an older woman as respect.
I went to an orphan baby elephant farm and the highlight of my visit was along weekend at Livingstone an 8 hour car ride but well worth it to see the Victoria Falls, amazing.

[ummmm]

How old is he?

[murraymints]

Sounds good ma'am !! Lol...I'll walk away backwards ! :-)

[DTCwordfan]

well done you - did Adolf still have his moustache then? Glad you had a great time.....first time to Zamb?

[Svejk]

there's some quite high up politician in SA or Zimbabwe called Hitler something, I believe.

[inksplotter]

Apparently it's quite common in some countries to name yourself after something you read in the papers-whether it is good or bad!

On a business trip to Zambia it was first time I has seen avocado trees. I was just thinking of the high price of one avocado here and how many could just be taken, but nobody did.

[murraymints]

I know a few Jesus' !

[ummmm]

Jesus is quite a popular name.

Hitler was about 50 head of a security firm I could not believe it when my d-I-law told me. Yes first visit, those bumpy unmade roads take some getting used to talk about "all shook up" ! Harry has a farm in the hills of Chilanga its lovely and peaceful and the sunsets watched from their veranda are awesome.

[inksplotter]

Jesus is just the Aramaic (and Spanish/Portuguese I believe) version of Joshua.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah but in Thpanith, ( lo siento, in Ethpanyol....)
Jesus is pronounced Hay-zoos.

how did we get onto this ?

In the liberated south, ( Z) there was Hitler Changerai - but that I thought was a nickname by the soon-to-be-dispossessed whites - oops sorry Liberated Africans....

If you drove to L., you must have been in Lusaka - how much does the Kwacha buy nowadays ?

[Dee Sa]

yes flew into Lusaka with Emirates via Dubai, some suburbs nice but Lusaka town the pits with large filthy dirty second hand clothes market spilling into the road.
10 Kwatcha is approx £1, US dollars for instant visa at airport $50.

Yes Hitler was the Nom de Guerrero of Chenjerai Hunzvi. He died in 2001 of aids.

[Brinjal]

Nom de Guerre stupid auto correct.

[Brinjal]

There is also a Stalin Mau Mau.

[tonyav]

The president of Nigeria has got a cool name, Goodluck Johnson.

[Brinjal]

Our first president was. Canaan Banana. A sure indication of the way things were to go.

[inksplotter]

If you choosing a Nom de Guerre why name yourself after the key figures in the one of the biggest "guerres" ever?

[Brinjal]

I think they just choose names that are hateful to the people they are fighting against.

[jno]

I doubt Hitler was a very significant figure to black Africans (Rhodesians fought in the war but I think were mostly white?) So it would be just a famous name not a good or bad one.
