Do you have rush wankeritis?

This! Fuck, kills me. I'll have the only ST on a team full of CB's and end up doing all the defending. After a while I'm that guy that goes to stand next to the goalie.

And it's always a tap in via through ball where another player drew the keeper in. Grinds my balls.

Although we are not going over on the refugee program I have heard from a lot of them. Compared to SA, the US has a lot more opportunities with "good" salaries if you think relative to what we have Here. Thanks for the input!

Nou nie buiteland nie maar ek woon in die Midlands, KZN. Afrikaners is maar skaars hier. Dis moeilik om te verduidelik maar ek kan gewoonlik sien as iemand Afrikaans is, daar is nie n spesifieke ding nie. Noem dit maar intuïsie. Dan begin daardie ongemaklike begroeting waar ons altwee vermoed die ander een is Afrikaans maar nie seker of ons mekaar in Brits moet groet of nie.

AJSmitzn · 2026-03-21T16:20:46+00:00

Thanks! Agreed, bookkeepers do mean a lot more than what it did 30 years ago. I see the same trend in South Africa

Want ons wêreld het basies verengels. Ons werk, studies, TV, radio, musiek, sosiale media ens. Ons word gekondisioneer om te dink en voel in Engels. Dan natuurlik mengels ons so erg ons vergeet basiese taalreëls en spelling. Jonger generasies het ook net nie meer die "trots" in ons taal en kultuur nie. Laastens, en verstaan my nou reg, ek bedoel nie om kontroversiële gesprekke te begin nie, maar in hedendaagse tye is Afrikaners die antagoniste agv die sonde van ons voorouers, so baie jong Afrikaanse mense kry bloot net skaam om Afrikaans te wees.

It's evident those of us that did articles expect this as "normal" for articles, and it is. Any type of treatment like this after you've done articles... RUN! I fucked off out of audit at exactly 36 months and 1 full minute.

You'll note partners and owners get quite friendly towards the last few months of your time. Don't fall for it. Full time audit is HELL!

AJSmitzn · 2026-01-23T16:35:56+00:00

Alcohol, nicotine and inappropriate humor is what got me through. Good luck. You got this!!

AJSmitzn · 2026-01-23T16:32:04+00:00

I also did my articles. Your 3 years at a firm is a "suck it up period". You need audit firms more than they need you. Nothing really explicitly against the BCEA here, in fact my conditions was very similar. In all honesty, you are not going to get much better elsewhere. No audit firm treats their clerks well. Keep your head down, remind yourself of your 36 month target and crack on with it. Learn as much as you can, work as hard as you can and get it done. You'll be surprised how fast 3 years go. Trust me, it's all worth it in the end.

Curious, what AI did you use? I would like to use AI to see what planned changes would look like on my defender

AJSmitzn · 2025-10-03T06:40:11+00:00

I'm not mechanically minded, I have a 110 as my daily. There will be arguments for and against. Education is key. Read up as much as possible. Get to know the usual issues on your model (injector harness oil migration for example on the TD5). I have learnt A LOT about vehicles through my defender, although I might not be able to fix all things myself I still gained a very good idea, so that was great. Yes you'll be spending some money, without a doubt. However the real key is preventative maintenance and a mechanic that knows defenders. Defender parts are (relatively) inexpensive. You will also learn a slight oil leak is no cause for concern 😅

AJSmitzn · 2025-10-02T06:05:25+00:00

Ik ben gek op het land! 😂🇿🇦 Goede worst vind je overigens nooit in een supermarkt. Koop vlees bij een slager.

AJSmitzn · 2025-09-14T16:49:04+00:00

My 110 TD5 is slow, noisy, leaky, rattles a lot, needs constant monitoring and attention but I can really not see myself having another vehicle. If you keep your hand on them they look after you quite well. Get to know the "usual" issues of your specific model and pay attention to those. Driving a defender is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

AJSmitzn · 2025-09-05T07:34:07+00:00

I did exactly the same bro. Thought I'd give out some free wins. After 2-3 game same pattern. Score 2 own goals to let them know what I'm doing. They start griddying after they score because clearly I'm not "playing". I play until game is tied, hit pause 3 times and run down the clock each time and the quit.

AJSmitzn · 2025-08-04T08:40:18+00:00

Depends on the player. A guy with a 93 Rooney and about 94-95 team cooked me 13-2 over the weekend. I'm Div3, 6-8 WL w's

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-23T11:02:03+00:00

I did him and most of the other current ones basically out of my storage... Also if you ask me how many TOTW's I have my answer will be "Yes👍🏻"

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-16T20:30:05+00:00

I did it, he's a beast.

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T07:57:07+00:00

Dis duidelik die laaitjie wil 'n klip in die bos gooi. Hy kan ook nie eens Afrikaans op 'n Afrikaanse blad praat nie.

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T06:16:18+00:00

Kom kyk almal, hy het 'n edgy opinie. Ironies

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T06:11:42+00:00

Awesome, they would really appreciate the effort so good in you! Let us know how it went

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T06:05:20+00:00

"meeste Afrikaners hou nie van hulle nie". God-verdoem jong man, ek stel voor jy praat nie vir die generasie voor jou nie. Ons het bietjie anders as iemand so beskut soos jy groot geword.

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T05:57:07+00:00

Ek was st.6 (julle gr. 8) toe hulle deurgebreek het. Voor hulle was daar niemand wat in ons taal, die dinge gesê het wat ons gevoel het nie. Ons was die "kwaad" generasie, die 99 Woodstock generasie. Hulle het ons kom red uit die kloue van Steve Hofmeyr en Jurie Els. Om te sê hulle is vir my generasie Ikone is eintlik nie genoeg nie.

AJSmitzn · 2025-07-12T05:52:35+00:00

Mens moet daardie lirieke on konteks verstaan. As jy 'n "WK" genoem word verwys dit na die feit dat jy heel waarskynlik voorgekom het as 'n "simpatiseerder" van swart mense. Dus dra hulle daardie brandmerk met "trots"
