It may seem as if the cold weather has passed (for the time being)… The last few days have been terrible cold here in most parts of South Africa – thanks largely to the immense snow fall. It resulted in roads being blocked, people getting stuck in cars, transporters missing deadlines and live stock…. Hmmmm well not all of them came out of the cold spree as ‘live stock’! And then we hear that one, Mr. Malema has commented on the snow as he was travelling on the N3, “This is a bloody WHITE conspiracy”Welcome to another weakly round up on the blog….
Yipee – the strike is over. The petroleum sector employees are set to return to work with their 8% increase and just in time as well – next week Wednesday you and I will be paying yet again- a bit more for fuel. One has to wonder about the timing of this increase and the end of that strike…. Billions lost in the strike action and even more recovered in the fuel increases…. And we are told that the increase is due to the international price of crude oil….
Amy Winehouse may have died because she stopped drinking alcohol. At present the 'Rehab' singer's cause of death is unknown but it is possible her decision to try and quit booze completely after years of heavy drinking could have caused her body a shock or seizure which killed her at her home in Camden, north London. This further reiterates my comments about beer – “24 beers in a case… 24 hours in a day”
It was only a week and a half ago that just over 80 innocent lives were lost in Norway. It somehow seems so long ago that it no longer features on the mainstream news…. however Norwegian press reported that the first words to come out of self-confessed Norwegian massacre gunman Anders Behring Breivik's mouth upon his arrest were: "I've finished now" – I think he was finished the moment he was conceived! His actions have made him an equal to the people/ religion he claims to despise…
Singh is proving to be King in the Irish Open – and that is Jeev Milkha Singh and not that other Fijian Fella. Thierry Henry won't be troubled by split loyalties when he faces Arsenal with the New York Red Bulls this weekend. And why would he? He’s the only footballer who uses his feet and HANDS to score goals…
Defending champions New Zealand have not lost a Tri-Nations match since 2009 and look set to extend their winning streak in the competition to eight Tests against a weakened South Africa side this weekend. What an insult to the replacement players who are being regarded as WEAKENED…. How do they feel? It is supposed to be their shining moment as they play for their country…. Or perhaps the media is setting us up to take a loss against New Zealand this weekend a lot more lightly…..?
It does seem like we can go on….. But any who…. In last weeks round up I asked for suggestions to the changes I HAVE to implement on the radio show and thank you thank you thank you – for NOT mailing me…. It works pretty much like voting, you have your say in what you want and unlike the IEC- I would look at every comment and try to be as obliging as possible…. So what now???? No suggestions = Mgmt Rules – I am off to go ask “How high????” ………… heard a voice from above saying “Jump”
PS: Enjoy your wine this weekend…
Peace
