but I got an sms from Fishman yesterday to confirm his son was born at 14h14 (more or less). haven't heard from him since, but I'm sure i will, soon, so we can drink, lot's, oh, I'm doing proxy drinking for DMDad....
Congrats bro, from me, the Princess, and the boys! may you be blessed with another child as lovely and clever as your first. Hope the little guy, and the missus (oh, what you think about Wanda as my name for her here? Reccomended by a2z).

Got some more plants for the garden
The Princess's boss wanted to throw this out. I offered to remove it for him. This morning I picked up Witness as usual, and drove to his house, and did the removing. Split the plant up, and took it back home. The Princess decided where she wanted them, and Witness planted them. There, my gardening is done for today!
Above is the "nursery" section. The original plant had replicated so many times, and we still recovered a further 8-9 little plants. If they take, I will transplant them into other parts of the garden.
One of the bigger one's.
Another one.
Number 3....
Number 4....
5 and 6.....
Not bad for a mornings work....LOL!

More on the not so cripple bastards, oh, and sports
This ldv was parked here by a darkie. He's not cripple or anything, however, I suppose being black means he's mentally retarded anyway, which means he may well qualify to park here.... Doos!
This van is owned by the South African Blood Services (they who want you to donate blood, not give you a cent for it, and then go and sell it for a small fortune to some poor bastard who's going to bleed to death without it!) Didn't see the driver, but walked past the bleed room and didn't see any cripples there - however there were some darkies in uniform, so I suppose I must deduct thet mental retardation qualifies you to park in nthis space. Nog 'n DOOS!!!!
And finally, now that the local rugby season is about done and dusted (it is, isn't it?) herewith the final (please let this be the final) reccomendations for this year with regards the various rugby teams......

Update on this and that....
Spoke to DMDad yesterday, and his She. They recently emigrated to the fairest Cape, and seem to be well settled in and relaxed. Very relaxed in fact. They had just arrived at the beach where they were taking their dogs for a walk / run. They have done this regular since moving down, watching many bootiful sunsets there!This at 5.20 pm, whilst I was still fighting the traffic to get home! Anyway, seems like they did the right thing, I think so anyway, and have located themselves in an area which almost qualifies as a village! Lovely place, not as small as the word village might mean, but definately that kind of slow life, laxy daisy mentality. Definately the kind of place that promotes longevity!
Spoke to anothe rfriend down in the same area just after, who said that ater they emigrated down into a nearby area, they went down to the beach as often as possible in the evenings to watch the sunset, run the dogs. For at least the first 3 or 4 years. Thereafter the "holiday" feeling tends to fade a bit, and day to day chores eat into your time anyway. he did also add that the beaches which are close to where DMDad and She are staying had soem trouble a while ago with some rouges who were robbing / mugging beach visitors. It seems thjis has bee sorted out, but with the horse like doge DMDad and She have along i somhow don't think that will be a problem anyway!
Then I called Fishman. His wife (I need a name for her, any suggestions) was due to "pop" on the 30th, he said something about inducing labour. Anyway, they didn't and put it off to today! So, I'm waiting for his call. He knows it's a little boy, and has a little girl already, so it's great news!!! And, he's offered drinks to his friends back at his place as soon as the deed is done! Even though I'm not a drinker, I have offered to submit myself to the evil spirits in place of DMDad who can't be there..... Oh, the sacrifices we make for our friends!
My new manager, "The iron lady" as I have named her, is conming along really nicely thank you! She seems to have grasped my style, and is accomodating, to the point where I am not suffering the levels of stress I had before. Like I said, (here or elsewhare) if my manager does his/her job, I don't need to get stressed, and so wont have to get aggressive to get things done. However, the business is so broken, that even she is finding it difficult to get things movinf / done. But she's kicking ass, and so making waves in the right direction. I actually believe this can / will work!

Now this is a truly wise man!
In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what 60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS) thinks about women over 40:
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

I found this pic
on Google (or was it Yahoo?)
Anyway, what are the two presidential candidates saying to each other?
Barak is saying "I've got you beat old man"
MaCain is saying "There is no way this country is going to be run by a Nigger!"
Or maybe, One is telling the other he likes his buns, and can they get together in the WC later........

INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support.
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
· Romance 9.5 and
· Personal Attention 6.5,
and then installed undesirable programs such as
· Currie Cup 5.0,
· Super 14, 3.2 and
· Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
· Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate.
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind,
· Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
· Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
· If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
· Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
· Cooking 3.0, Pole Dancer 2.0 and Sex 7.7.
Good Luck Babe!

TO ALL THE GREAT MUMS
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked.
'Because it's been on the ground and you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Mummy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All mums know this stuff. It's on the Mummy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mummy.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH... I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy.' 'Exactly,' I replied back with a big smile on my face.

Beggars belief
I have been meaning to post this for some time now. Found it in a local newspaper, and actually wanted to write to them, but never got around to it.So, the basis of the article says that the Chief of the Metro Police in Durban has said that motorists who support the beggars, and vendors at traffic lights can / will be fined (for transgressing some or other bylaw)!
The problem I have with this is as follows:-
The esteemed metro police and / or their esteemed chief, are unable to enforce a bylaw which says that no one is allowed to hang around intersections, no one is allowed to beg at these intersections, and hawking in general is not allowed in these intersections!
Now, because it's no use arresting these offenders on the basis they have no fixed address (so you cant find them again) have no income (so you cant fine then) and have no regard for the laws anyway ( so you can't - you know what I mean), they have decided lets see if we can grow our revenue and target those people who thorough the goodness of their hearts, humanitarian beliefs, religious belief, are happy to share some of their wealth with those less fortunate!!! I mean really - how fucking stupid, illiterate, uneducated can you be?
let me put it in another perspective:-
If someone with enough money to burn decides to, could he lay a complaint / charge at a local police station against the Metro Police and / or their Chief, for failing in their duties to keep vagrants, beggars and hawkers away from the intersections? After all, failure to implement and uphold the law / bylaw is a punishable offense, is it not? Just asking.... In fact, I think I will send this to a couple of daily's, (sans the bad language of course).

More on the rugby saga
I recently posted some stuff on the "Puke Watson" story. (oh, Look it up man!) Well further to this, he recently said he would not be making himself available for selection for the team which goes on tour later this year.... OH!?! Really? Has nothing to do with the fact that most of the other players indicated that if he was chosen, they would resign, and go and ply their trade overseas, has it!?!
Now I see the streetlamp posters saying "Watson to play in the New National Squad" of the future! I can only assume that this is referring to a squad that will be selected post the Springbok era.... The new/revised King Protea team! Time will tell.
Now I hear his father (an ex-Springbok rugby player) Cheeky Watson, (what kind of a name is that anyway?) is running for president of Eastern Cape Rugby. Well, if nothing else, he will be able to ensure his son stays in the game, one way or the other!

My first video post
Yesterday I got home a bit earlier than usual, and standing on the deck during sun set was spectacular. The mountain range in the distance is much clearer, thanx mainly to the rain we have had over the past two week. Not much rain, but it helped to settle all the dust and smoke from the veld fires. Decided then to share this with all of my readers (all 3 of you)!
Enjoy.

From the Princess - 2
A married man left work early one Friday, but instead of going home,he spent the weekend partying with the boys. When he finally returned home on Sunday night, his wife really got on his case and stayed on it.
After a few of hours of swearing and screaming, his wife paused and pointed at him and made him an offer. "How would you like it if you didn't see me for a couple of days?".....
The husband couldn't believe his luck, so he looked up, smiled and said, "That would suit me just fine!!"
Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday went by and he still didn't see her.
Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye......

The weekend update
Friday was a mellow affair, with not too much happening in the way of life, other than the usual office, home, TV, bed... oh, and some meals in between. Wait, I lie, we had dinner with some friends at Don Vito's. We haven't seen them for some time (months actually) as the guy has been working contract up north in some of the lesser favourite African countries, (earning serious USD's).
Saturday was a seriously busy affair. It was GMan's confirmation in the morning, and my Mom, Queenie, my sister in law and her pregnant daughter (she's married, ok!) as well as some special frinds from the deep south (Vaal) were there to celebrate the event with him.
The service (which someone said could take 2.5 - 3 hours) was done and dusted in 1.3 hours (ohew) and everyone came home to have a lunch with us. The Princess had for a few days been precooking meats and had made salads and stuff, I collected some fresh bread rolls on the way home, and a very light, refreshing lunch was had by all. After lunch i installed, and had connected a full DSTV system, (ZAR495/month - donations welcome) and so we were able to watch the Currie Cup final (That's a South African Rugby tournament), which the Sharks from Kwa-Zulu_Natal won, playing against the Blue Bulls (From Pretoria / Northern Province). A good game, well deserved win (they last won the cup 12 years ago!)
Sunday was a more relaxed affair, GMan went to ealy church service, and whilst there showed his bike to a prospective buyer. After "lunch" (rolls and leftovers, the Princess and I went off to visit some friends who are back in the country after some few months on their yacht which is moored somewhere in the islands off the north coast of South America! Spent a most pleasant afternoon there with them, relaxing, talking shit and stuff. He's off to New Zealand for 4 weeks next week to go fishing!!! 4FS!!
That evening, LuckyL got back from his water polo tour down at the coast, and GMan picked him up and they joined us at the friends place.
Dinner was great, I got beat 1 - 5 in pool, and we eventually got back home at abut 10pm. Great day, great company. Must do that more often.
Got an sms on Saturday from DMDad to say he and She had arrived at their new home in the fiaretst Cape safely - good. It's a long drive, with plenty foolish drivers on the road. Arriving there safely is a major achiavement!!!!
Still looking for spares for the Yamaha XJR1200..... oh, and the people who we spent Sunday with said they are looking for a bike. Happy for me to rebuild them one as per LuckyL's Aprilia, and my Yamaha. So if I find a not so stuffed up on/off road for him, I'll buy it, and fix it. Great fun to do, and with someone else's check book!
Enough for now. Chat later.

Saturday was a seriously busy affair. It was GMan's confirmation in the morning, and my Mom, Queenie, my sister in law and her pregnant daughter (she's married, ok!) as well as some special frinds from the deep south (Vaal) were there to celebrate the event with him.
The service (which someone said could take 2.5 - 3 hours) was done and dusted in 1.3 hours (ohew) and everyone came home to have a lunch with us. The Princess had for a few days been precooking meats and had made salads and stuff, I collected some fresh bread rolls on the way home, and a very light, refreshing lunch was had by all. After lunch i installed, and had connected a full DSTV system, (ZAR495/month - donations welcome) and so we were able to watch the Currie Cup final (That's a South African Rugby tournament), which the Sharks from Kwa-Zulu_Natal won, playing against the Blue Bulls (From Pretoria / Northern Province). A good game, well deserved win (they last won the cup 12 years ago!)
Sunday was a more relaxed affair, GMan went to ealy church service, and whilst there showed his bike to a prospective buyer. After "lunch" (rolls and leftovers, the Princess and I went off to visit some friends who are back in the country after some few months on their yacht which is moored somewhere in the islands off the north coast of South America!
