So much for that theory..

How come I’m not surprised that our new president checked his spine at the door. Dude, I had really high hopes for you. Guess the words ‘honest’ and ‘politician’ don’t belong in the same sentence together.

You have to admire Mugarbage, at least he has a pair.

Things that suck

One of my pet hates, is advertising. If you are unfortunate enough to have Dstv, you’ll know why. They stuff so many adverts into every show, they ought to change the name too Dsadvertising.

And now they even make sure that every channels ad breaks are at the same time. So if you’re like me and channel surf, you can now enjoy ads on every channel.

And as far as radio is concerned, it’s a good thing adverts don’t explode after being played 5000 times in a month. I just love the ‘no guaranteed’ repeats story, pity this doesn’t apply to presenters as well.

UJFM rules ! It’s the only radio station that plays decent music, and takes your mind off the mess the Yanks have made of the world.

A big f’ing thank you !

Made the mistake of going to watch a movie at the east rand mall on Sunday. The movies started 15 minutes late, and we got to watch while this gorilla sized idiot, gave his girlfriend a saliva transplant and then ate his lunch. Then the dumb blonde about 4 rows in front of us, decided to send an sms. It never dawned on here that her cell phones back light was quite clearly visible to the whole cinema (and probably from the top of the Carlton Centre). Then to our left, someone decided to eat the ice left over from her cooldrink. Bears attacking tourists make less noise than she did.

I love movies. I watch the trailers, then about 8 months to a year later, I go and watch the actual movie. Then some idiot ruins it for me. This is on top of sitting in a dirty cinema, and having to cough R45 for a ticket.

Cinemas are not coffee shops, if you want to bore someone to death with the details of your boring life, go to a wimpy, or even better, stay at home, no one actually cares about you.

Here’s the deal, I won’t pee in your swimming pool, and you don’t talk in my cinema.

Hail the fallen heroes !

Hmmmm… looks like I was wrong.

Confused.

Can someone please explain the difference between a criminal and a trader ? One steals your Tv, the other, your life. One goes to jail, the other on retirement.

Bye Bye Ozzies !

I was there yesterday, at Ellis Park, when the Springboks, in the face of adversity, stood tall, and thrashed the Ozzies. Thanks Peter, for yesterday, and for Dunedin ! A new era has dawned for South African rugby. I just wish could say the same about our Cricket team.

CellC – taking bad service, too new heights.

Effing Sars eFiling

12:32 pm May 6th, 2008
An error occured during the request: No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ); – nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ))   This was the very helpful error message I got off the Sars website earlier. I was so not suprised, I think I just blinked, laughed, and closed the page. My next port of call will be the Eskom webpage.
