The Walls speak...

of discrimination against Israel and America... How come it is ok for China and Saudi Arabia to construct border fences/walls but when Israel does they are called an Apartheid state. When the US wants to do so it is infringing on the rights of the illegal immigrants.
What part of illegal and terrorist does the world not understand...

Wassaproblem then?

Patrick posted about this but I want to know what the problem really is, I mean...
As I understand the koran muslims should not even be taking part! So what is the problem?
As Patrick stated it is because the world revolves around muslims, didn't you know that!

FDA Award for this week goes to...

The SABC for strying to stifle free speech, as this all started on Friday they get the award.
"Johannesburg High Court Judge Zukiswa Tshiqi on Sunday morning dismissed with costs the SABC's application to have the Mail & Guardian (M&G) remove from its website a report on the blacklisting of certain analysts and commentators by the broadcaster.
"I don't believe that it is okay to suppress information or to hide information written in the report," she told the court."

Journalists should not be intimidated this way by a semi state owned institution.

Waltzing into view...

This is one of the roses outside the flat that I took a picture of recently...
and looking closer once again the resolution of my camera astounds me... an aphid was scurrying across the petal when I took the picture. I had not even noticed it when I took the photo...

It's a Jungle out there...

and Amber is the Tiger... The Man was outside using his Flashything when he saw her emerge from the plants... I was sleeping as usual...

Pretty as a pansy...

Pottering around using my Tripod and Macro setting I snapped these pretty pansies amongst the grey leaves...

Tuesday Twit - Illinois District Court Judge Charles Kocoras

In his default judgement for David Linhardt aka e360insight against The Spamhaus Project Ltd proved that the law is a twit, Spamhaus is on the side of the law against spammers worldwide and is in any case not under his jurisdiction... he should have thrown the case out with all the contempt it deserves... No links to the perp either, I do not wish him to recieve any hits at all on his pathetic attempt at a website... If he was legit there would have been other content but all there is is his rantings about how Spamhaus has cost him money... The sooner the US tightens up their inadequate laws against this dispicable form of "marketing" the better, the same laws that work against organised crime should be applicable...

On song for a win...

Stefan van der Walt from Welkom MX Club on his way to finish his 125 Open first heat... he went on to win the class for the day. Just a pity we had such a small turnout entry wise, this is the first time we have had a MX Regional without any 50cc riders...
Our spectator turnout suprised us as we thought what with the Semi Final for the Currie Cup we would be lucky to have any.
I just wish I had more time to take some pics of the Quads though,
Xander Norval put up a blistering pace and finished first, however we need 6 entries per class for a class to score for the regional championship... sadly we will only be seeing 3 classes worthy of regional status this year... Where have all the guys with brass ones gone?

At least I heard the Cheetahs vs Sharks game on the radio while we were packing up after the prize giving... Final score Cheetahs 30 - Sharks 14... shushi this week, biltong and fillet steak next week!

How can we make you cry...


is the line from the advertisments of FNB. Well you could have helped by linking my new Credit Card to my existing PIN on my Credit Card account and thereby sparing me a month of hassles with PIN's being rejected and cards becoming invalid. Come on how difficult is the small thing I ask? I just get so irritated when one has to be inconvenienced by illogical systems. I am sure I am not the first customer to have this comedy of errors to be inflicted on them.
This all started last month on the day I went to fetch my new card that would start working this month...
Error 1, the clerk activated something when reporting that I had collected my card.
Error 2 The next time I went to draw money with my then still valid card... "Incorrrect PIN" x2.
So the next monday I tootled to the bank and tried again... then the ATM purloined my card!
Popped in to see the manager and retrieved the card... he informed me that as the new yet still not valid card had been reported as collected the older card would not work at ATM's any more. So I arrainge for my new card's pin to be diverted to my post box...
Error 3 Today, in the time that my new card is supposed to work I try and draw money... no dice "card invalid"... So my new card and new PIN are worthless... thank you First National Bank! I am now reduced to a quivering tearfull frustrated wreck...
Hopefully next week we will see the new card replacement and two days later the PIN in the post... Then we do it all over again...

UPDATE:
My new card works... this still took 2 months to fix... FNB still sucks...

Tuesday Twit

I think this is a new catagory... henceforth I will expose a twit on a weekly basis. Before I do let me just make it clear that I am probably a twit in some other twits eye as well so before posting your twittering protest... think... take a deep breath... count to 20... yeah so maybe it is not such a good idea after all? Another by the bye...
THIS IS MY BLOG! :-) FIFO! as Adrian would say. :-)
Got a few ad hominems in my comments, wich I moderate for this and other personal reasons, from this charming character called "
imdougandirule" at his blog abode called "The World According To Me". Then I Googled his blog and noticed the sad fact that he has less comments than little old moderateding me...
Personally I do not care a rats gonads what he thinks of my views... they are mine and if you do not like what I say... find another sandbox... there are plenty out there on the internet. If you seriously think I am going to publish the type of filth you posted in my comments Mr imdougandirule you need a good therapist... may I reccomend mine?
