Hi i'm new and just want to introduce myself

Post by Ocean knight »

Hi, i'm a little shy and don't do this much. So here goes.
I'm from the capital and love it. I joined sofurry not so long ago although i have known about the fandom for a long while. I didnt even know this sight existed untill recently(because of sofurry) but im glad i found you guys. I was worried i wouldn't be able to chat to many SA furs as sofurry is global. I code , play video games, read and read some more.Just wanted to say hey but i took longer than i thought , sorry.

I was also wondering that.

He must be referring to Capitol from The Hunger Games.

Thanks for the welcome. Pretoria but the hunger games capital would be an awesome place to live.I got watch dogs recently and have been playing that a lot. Favourite books is a very hard choice i just finished GOT but have always loved LOTR (which i think is better) then there is all the Sherlock Holmes books. Hunger games is great. One of the best to me is The Giver series just because it made me think.

Seems that I have always had a misunderstanding:
Cap·i·tol.
[ˈkapitl]
DEFINITION
1.the seat of the US Congress in Washington, DC.

I had always assumed:
Capitol is a place; capital is a resource.

This should go in Leeward's thread.

Surely people know South Africa has three capitals? Pretoria is only the administrative captial. Cape Town is the legislative captial and Bloemfontein is the judicial capital.

Hello and welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay and find many friends here. It's quite exciting to see such a large influx of members all of a sudden! What games do you play?

Also, interesting name for a "fed [sic]" fox-wolf: what inspired it?
Hahaha! :lol:

Unless you plan on moving your computer around all the time, a PC will be better value-for-money than a laptop. ;)

Gaming laptops are not practical to begin with.

Get a proper desktop and a cheap laptop.

This was covered in my law, subject at Tech, many people do not know it though.

People generally mean Pretoria though, hence the assumption.

Eh, to each their own. I'm using a laptop for everything currently. Working out great so far but then again I'm only playing certain multiplayer games that don't require a great graphics card.

South Africa is a weird place. We've got the most capitals of any country and the most official languages of any country.
