Is it Kak or Tos?

accreditation

Seems South Africans still love whingeing.

Following on the hit

Is is just me or is everything kak, is the rather unimaginatively named Is it just me or is everything still kak?

Which is just as fun as its predecessor. From the horror of Christmas jingles to the deplorable obfuscation of Essop Pahad, it'll have you giggling every time you crack its spine.

Chopper Charlie and Griffin from www.watkykjy.co.za fame have also clambered on this bandwagon with an Afrikaans version, Is dit net ek of is als tos? Readers, I laughed myself stukkend.

There's something about whingeing in Afrikaans with a wry grimace and a light pen that warms my little South African heart. And these boys are GOOD – you can almost hear the swigs of Windhoek between sentences.

I don't read much Afrikaans, so I was a little intimidated when it landed on my desk, but it's terribly readable. In fact, order it immediately and send it to all your whiney ex-SA/ newly Brit friends to leave in their bathrooms, so every time they have a pee and a flick-through they’ll miss home something horrible.

Get your copy of Is it me or is everything still kak? and Is dit net ek of is als tos? now.
