Spaar 'n gedagte...

Sanral het wraggies nou sy beste skrikmaakmasker opgesit maar, blykbaar is daar meer mense wat geskrik het vir Elsabe Zietsman toe sy haar klere begin uittrek het as vir hierdie patetiese spul.

Sien, die nuutste is dat as jy onder een van Sentraal Transvaal se nuwe diskoligte deurry, en die enigste skyfies in jou motor is slap skyfies, Simba-skyfies of jou lisensieskyfie, dan begin die tyd aftel.

Die bewering is dat jy dan onder druk behoort te verkeer omdat jy net sewe dae het om die rekening te betaal! Maar spaar ‘n gedagte vir arme Siphiwe wat met die rekeninge werk. Die probleem is dat jy nie weet wat jou rekening is nie, so die druk is op Siphiwe om die rekening by jou te kry binne sewe dae, maar die probleme is legio.

Eerstens leef ons in ‘n land waar die onderwysers (wat grade verwerf het by universiteite…wel sommige van hulle) nou toetse moet skryf om hul bevoegdheid in hul eie vakke te bewys.

Hoe goed kan Siphiwe se opleiding dan wees, wat aangestel is op grond van sy Bar-one skakering ten spyte daarvan dat hy die kwaliteitbeheer toets gedruip het by die Cadbury fabriek!

Tweedens bevat elke sewe dae ‘n Saterdag, Sondag en ‘n loslit-ek-dra-my-springbok-trui-en-doen-niks-nie Vrydag.

Derdens neem dit die land se posdiens drie dae om elke brief te kry, te sorteer, oop te stoom om te kyk of hulle iets kan steel, weer toe te Pritt en dan by die verkeerde plek af te lewer.

Vierdens gaan die persoon aan wie dit gerig is, kom ons noem hom maar Hoofsweep Tollie Weiers, die ding in die asblik gooi as dit nie per geregistreerde pos is nie.

Dit laat Siphiwe met een dag, minus sy eerste teebreuk, sy rookbreuk, tweede teebreuk, sy middagnando’s breuk, sy middagtee breuk en sy middagrookbreuk, waarin hy die rekenaar moet ontsyfer, die die taxi’s moet uitsif wat vrygestel is van e-tjol, die Milkiebar’s moet identifiseer en dan hul rekening van R2-30 (vir die ou wat net van Lynwood tot Atterburylaan op die snelweg was) per geregistreerde pos teen ‘n koste van R14-50 vir hul aanstuur.

As hulle dit regkry en jy nie betaal nie, kan hulle jou hof toe sleep, want die howe is vanweë die lae misdaadsyfer gelukkig totaal onderbenut en glad nie vol nie!

As jy dink jy word onder druk geplaas, dink aan arme Siphiwe!

Life's Luxuries, Good Food, Great Wine and Better conversation.

It’s amazing how much you see, but don’t see. You know what I mean. You notice something different. Be it in your house, at the office, with a friend, the kids or around town. You file it away for later reference and investigation, because invariably, at the time you notice it you are too busy rushing between the events in your life. Today is one of those days that follows after one of those days where you noticed something, which got filed for later investigation - for me, it’s the appearance of a wine cooler in the house. I noticed the little rectangular box with the blue light display some weeks ago. Filed it in the ‘to find out what it is, whose it is and why it’s here’ file and summarily forgot about it. Till a few minutes ago when I wanted to open some red wine. I buy wine from a merchant and have developed a taste for certain makers wines. An appreciation of the fine art that is wine making and the incredible bliss of paring good wine, with good food and great conversation. I wa

Calitzdorp - Smoking Pipe

Today I had some time on my hands, and decided to check in on this website. I've bought a Afrika wood pipe from EbenHarts in 2008 and still smoke it. It's a heavy pipe. Solid in the hand. Not one you want to clamp down on though. Unless you like spending time in the dentist chair. It's with great joy and a little grump (hate the exchange rate) that I looked over the pipes on the site again. There are some seriously beautiful pipes here. Some, in fact, I don't think you'd want to smoke. I hope to soon see sold on all these pipes and a new batch of remarkable creations to sit and drool over. Sterkte met die pyp maak en ek hoop:  'hulle verkoop so lekker, want hulle rook so lekker.' cheap : 'via Blog this'

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals

10 Ways To Hack Into Your Happy Brain Chemicals Life gets busy. 2016 for us in South Africa is going to be tough. Emotional black mail and black mail in general is a socially acceptable way to deny some their constitutional rights. So take a read above and stick it to all those office clones that make your day hell. All those wannabes on the roads that can't drive to safe their lives (it's been one of those days). So, to quote Bobby McFarren: "Don't worry. Be Happy."
