Observations on the world and its inhabitants
I slept an unusual 9 hours last night (2011-11-22). I awoke this morning feeling really good for that. Then I went on the net and saw this: Water shortage to end soon and then Maraval clean-up. I can’t find a single set of words to describe my resulting state of mind. I’ve been told that ...
The ‘dummy market’ is about exploiting people who don’t know, don’t think and don’t explore options – for whatever reasons. They find life is too complicated, too short, and everything is too much effort. They want it now and they don’t want to think too much about it. They’re unable to or don’t want to ...
There is a video floating around on Facebook and Youtube that has caused me serious annoyance. Silly! The first thing that 99.9% of you will go is “Awww.. how cute.. that kid surely loves her dad.. how nice”. I responded to it quite sternly on Facebook – and you wouldn’t be surprised to know that ...

Instead it contained the emails of 122 other individuals. [I deviate to explain to the technologically challenged that I did not count each email address. I simply ...
I’ve been fighting a battle with people I know, some who would feel slighted if I did not consider them friends – for the past 7 years. This is what it is about: I inform all who know me not to send my email (or other contact details) out to ‘third parties’ without my express ...
There are times of course when I cannot punish idiots. On occasion an idiot may punish himself – and not even know it. It is not as good as actually dishing out the punishment, but sometimes you settle for second best. Case in question? Sure. Person calls a mobile phone from overseas weekly for about ...
