Sup man

Soooo this is a blog and not a porn site, so for all the perverts out there, it's time to make like a donkey dick aaaaaaaand hit the road, as someone from Botswana would say. My name is Pat but I go by many a name such as P dizzle (gangster name), Pat me groin (Scottish /I'm not too sure name), Patches O'hoolahan (dodgeball name), Patrice(when I'm dressed in ladies clothes name, wait , maybe that's not the best thing to put out there on the Internet) and Veej(family name). The list goes on but I won't bore you with more names and my weird dressing habits. I fly planes in the land of donkeys and cows, Botswana. Which is why I have started a blog as I'm sure there will be some memorable moments. So here's a quick story about a mate of mine. Let's call him George.

Maun Magic 40

Soooo again this is not a porn site and no I do not want to make a naked video of me doing inappropriate things in a plane (yes, there was a request from someone - some freaky people out there!) So after purchasing my first ever motorbike, Matilda, and having a few lessons in my driveway, I have finally been set free onto the main road which has made me realize a few things about driving and riding in Maun: 1. Anywhere and everywhere, the Maun Magic 40 is applied (40km/h). This is either due to the cars not actually been able to go faster or people not knowing they have a third gear. 2. Before indicating, you must come to a complete stop, turn in the opposite direction to which you want to turn and then indicate. (Not so much fun for a learner bike rider as I tend to stall when I slow down). 3. Warthogs,donkeys and cows are secretly employed by the traffic department to jump into the middle of the road to test your driving ability and if you hit them during the day, it's your faul...
