Another hike… price hike!

        It must be the refrain from around the world. The credit crunch has everyone, without a trust fund on the ropes. Tonight I will need to fill up again. Fuel. Car. Work. All needed. The first two not so much because of luxury but because I need them to get to the latter - work. I’ve cut driving for pleasure or even to a holiday destination completely and still the fuel bill keeps climbing. 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.

Jacob Zuma and the Finance Minister

Working in a bank has it's ups and downs.  You get used to that. Then you work in a bank in South Africa and you realize that the downs can bee a 18% free fall on the value of your bank. We have been working diligently to grow our bank and by some amazing grace from God we have managed to get some pretty amazing things done.  Then the populist president, inserted by the revolutionist party goes and does the unthinkable. He replaces the minister of finance, at a whim. Yes, he explained it. But only after he got his ass held over the fire and them some lame excuse of deploying Mr Nene in another position. Which Mr President, doesn't explain the nobody, without a track record you shoved into his position. The ANC must recall Mr Zuma, like they demonstrated they  can and will do with Mr Mbeki and replace him. Why wait. To see if he can destroy the country further? Yes, JZ. Your King is not impressed with your actions.  Business Day Live - Stuart Theobald...

Manta ray breached

This is the first time I've seen a manta ray breaching. Nature channels are full of whales, dolphins and sharks, to name just a few, but never the devil fish!
