I'm having a bad feather day!

The Review below was submitted by a reader of a local car magazine...   Reader's test: Daihatsu Charade 2013-03-06 09:15 Pin It PERFECT CITY RUNABOUT: Wheels24 extends a hat-tip to RICHARD FITZPATRICK for his hilarious review of his wife’s Daihatsu Charade. Author: RICHARD FITZPATRICK OK, I'm the first to admit that this car has all the sex appeal of Matron from 7de Laan but ,as they say, don't judge a Khoi-San by the size of his loin cloth, it's what's underneath that matters. Underneath the Daihatsu Charade 1.0 CXL we have strong Toyota DNA which of course means that nothing has gone wrong in seven years. It also means that you have more hard and cheap plastics than Toys R Us. That's fine, this is budget motoring so you get what you pay for. So what do you get for your money? Aircon, radio, auto transmission, power windows and steering, not bad for a car that would cost you R50 000 or so second-hand. NO RESPECT ON THE ROAD ...

The poor oppressed can buy their X5, in the wrong color, then have it re-painted - for security reasons. All on my hard earned tax money.

It’s that dreaded day of the week. The day we all loath, but struggle through anyway. Why? there’s just 52 of them in a year, yet they are the least enjoyable of them all. Why did we create this day? Yes. We created this day. Can it be that some cosmic intelligence is laughing at the deplorable state of intelligence on this planet, that the self declared pinnacle of existence created ‘Monday’! No other animal needs to mark time. It merely needs to know when the food is plentiful, to stuff itself full and when it’s not how to forage for what is available. Dogs don’t go barking mad on Fridays ‘cause it’s the weekend baby. They just go barking mad if you are out of site for more than a few minutes. They act as if they haven’t seen you in years when you arrive home from work,… or maybe it’s because the food bowl is empty? Whatever their reason, you don’t see them fretting about Monday. My sisters toy dog - yes there are such a thing - merely stretches himself out leisurely and watches from...

We'll it's done. BaNCS Treasury has been installed in our system. Changes has been implemented in the Core banking system and the branch applications. The core and branch systems has been running for a full business day. One complete end-of-day process cycle has completed and I haven't heard of any trouble. Tomorrow the Treasury system will be put through it's paces in it's first production day. Rumors has been floating around that another South African bank implemented the same software two months earlier and had to hack it for more than fifteen days to get it to work. I'm really hoping we can beat that, in spite of us being a smaller bank with less resources to throw at the problem.
