Hey ftrplt...... doe chicks dig jet planes????? good on ya mate! :roll:

Hey I wanna know what Piet Binsbergen stands for... of course it could be something like:

Who is Piet Binsbergen?" you might ask. Well, let me tell you. Piet Binsbergen is the third generation Dutchman who refurbishes and repairs Van Hunks' Pietenenpauw pipes. (Van Hunks was the fellow who beat the devil in a smoking contest whilst sitting on the slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town many years ago.) Legend has it that every time the “smoke” hangs over Table Mountain, the devil and van Hunks are at it again. Piet Binsbergen is in service of Captain van Hunks, refurbishing, restoring and servicing his pipes before every contest. No, this is not quite true. Jan Pietenpauw did not carve Van Hunks' pipe nor did Piet Binsbergen restore any of them, but he did work on that famous calabash of one Sherlock Holmes after Pietenpauw painstakingly created it!

Now for those of us who know, Sherlock Holmes never smoked a calabash. In fact, he never even existed!... and neither did Jan Pietenpauw or Piet Binsbrgen back then.

But in all South African legends, there has to be a hero and a Dutch Aquintance.
