SAFARI SAYINGS
by Anne Goulding

The following are statements I heard Safari members saying more than once during the trip. Some were said every day, others were repeated several times a day.

 BOB       A beer! Why not – it’s been a  hot day
                In the tourist industry every day is a holiday
                Weather’s fine and beaut
                It’s a hard life in the tropics-I don’t know how I’ve stood it for so long

SAM      What briefing?
               The GPS is wrong
               Where’s the Golf Club?

BILL      I like the buddy system
               I’m off to bed – it’s been a hard day
               Better get to the room before Bob

KEITH    This is the most insipid wine I’ve ever tasted – I’d love a brandy.

JOHN B    We had a lovely flight – I really am dry.

GARETH    One day we’ll get there first.

GREG G    Like a beer mate?
                   What’s the local stuff?
                    Is it a flying day tomorrow.

MARJORIE    Give me more wine – I had a lovely sleep last
                          I’ve lost my bra.

KYM    I just love being the tailender.

JOHN L    I’m going anyway.
                  I’m not stopping.
                  I’m not going out.
                  I’m really enjoying the company.

DIANNE    I like it when men give me money!
                    I don’t need a drink to play up.
                    What rhymes with rain?

ALISON    Let’s put on another show girls – lets sing and dance.

JOHN L Jnr.    Let’s find the nightclub
                          Is there any snorkelling here?

GREG D    I had to break out – just once!

DAVID    That sounds like a good idea – I might try that too.
                 Like a Rosemount we’ve got plenty.

KYLIE    Uniform Uniform, do you copy?
                Have your copied?
                Copy that.

MAXINE    Must reorganise the bags.
                    Uh Oh! I forgot the malaria tablets.
                    I’d like to do more shopping.

ANNE    This is my first full glass.
               Greg, you don’t need anymore.
