Sporadic blogging

2007-01-12T09:03:00.000+02:00

So ive found out both the fbi and the itc guys are chasing me around....

So blogging for the next while will be sporatic to say the least, but remember, im still thinking about my two regular readers, and honestly. Ive thought about ending it all. The blog i mean, dont worry, i didnt mean killing bush.

So yes, keep coming, but dont expect alot of new blogs. Im sorry

What not to wear

2007-01-09T11:11:00.000+02:00

My first days on the track

2007-01-08T08:45:00.000+02:00

So saturday i managed to get hold a rc car, one that is expensive and therefore just the dogs bollocks.

Spent most of saturday building it, I wanna meet the 12year olds that can do that, Cause its bladdy hard, i remember crying alot and spending most of the time looking for screws under the bladdy desk.

A small tip for those that wanna build one, USE ALL THE GREASE.

Sunday we went through to K90 shopping centre, its somewhere near East Rand Mall, Bladdy far, but i wanted to drive, the car went well, considering im a total idiot when it comes to things like this, Hell i didnt even know you got brushless motors and stuff like that.

We left there and went on to Hillfox, cause they have a track there too. I gave the remote to my little boet, and when he rounded the track i heard a horrible grinding noise, It broke my heart, but i stopped the car.

We got home and i started stripping it, again. Only to find the main bearings had gone, aswell as the big gear thingy, that turns the pole like object making the wheels turn. Its a sad sad thing.Trust me.

So now im looking for those parts, Going to cost around R120 on ebay for everything. I dont have that money..UGH!

First day at my new job

2007-01-02T13:44:00.001+02:00

A village in the shadow of the Italian Alps has installed a giant mirror on a mountainside to reflect sunshine into its main square.

Viganella, in the narrow Antrona valley, north of Turin, saw no sun for three months of the year before the project, reports CBC News.

The 48 sq metre steel sheet is controlled by computers to follow the path of the sun and reflect its rays down into the village square for at least six hours a day.

Viganella, with a population of only 197, formerly suffered from a complete lack of direct sun from November 11 to February 2.

Mayor Pierfranco Midali presented the project for approval in January of this year to help lift his community out of darkness.

The £70,000 cost was met by local government and a private bank.

Interesting, very very interesting.

wonder what they plan to do about the sunburn everyone will be getting

A forensic psychologist said the signs were that police investigating the prostitute murders were now being "taunted" by a serial killer.

Dr Keith Ashcroft, an expert in sex crimes, also said the person responsible probably had a "grudge" against Suffolk Police.

He said the fact that bodies were being left in relatively open surroundings in an area swarming with officers indicated the killer's attitude.

Mr Ashcroft said: "I think this guy is really, really taunting the police and he probably has some massive grudge against a police force, probably even Suffolk.

"He wants to make the police look inadequate because they are arriving after the bodies are being discovered."

He added that the killer also had his "eye on the media" and the 24-hour news coverage of the case was helping to feed his motives.

Mr Ashcroft, who himself has advised police on other cases, said: "I really think that the media coverage is feeding this guy's ego and he is more likely than not to see the news and kill another person."

He said that although there was "little to go on" at the moment, the case bore some resemblance to murders committed by an American serial killer in the 1980s.

Gary Ridgway murdered at least 48 women, many of whom were prostitutes, in the Seattle area of the United States in the 1980s. He was known as the Green River Killer because he dumped bodies in a waterway, just as in the case of some of the Suffolk bodies.

Mr Ashcroft said the Suffolk killer, like Ridgway, was likely to have a history of failed relationships that spurred him to take revenge on vulnerable women. But he added that it was possible that another person was involved in assisting the main killer in Suffolk.

From here

So is there a jack the ripper copy cat?

Today is a good day

2006-12-07T12:06:00.000+02:00

So this morning i got a few phone calls...

Whats special about that i hear you ask? Well they were about the interview i went to on monday.

I GOT A NEW JOB! i start on the 2nd of jan, and will be working in heaven compared to what i am in now. Its with a large mining corp. So you know there will be growth.

Anywhoo, just wanted to inform you all about it.

YES!!!!! 15more days of this shit

Bloody JHB roads

2006-12-06T15:46:00.000+02:00

So how many of you have actually been around jhb lately.

On monday i had to go for an interview in the cbd, It couldnt be that hard to find, i mean i have VEza on my pc. DONT TRUST VEZA!ever

Its a shit program that has roads that dont exist. There are turn offs where veza doesnt expect them, Its just a big nightmare.But back onto my story. So there i was cruising down jan smut. Looking for the huge fork in the road, But once again Veza lied. So i missed my turn off.

No roads in JHB are marked, Its asif the goverment/road agency, just decided that the people who know where to go can teach the rest, or they actually want us all to ride in a taxi. Seriously people. Is it that hard to put up a bloody sign that says, queen elizabeth, or jan smuts, or Youre lost,go home.

Those types of things would seriously go down well with the public, Not everyone knows that to get to the civic theater you travel on JS then take a left at the spar, right after the 3rd broken down taxi. I seriously get lost every time i drive her.

anyways,this was a shit attempt at a blog,cause you okes looked lonely

SAW II and Christmas presents ...

2006-12-04T11:23:00.000+02:00

Ya, ya, before you blast me for abandoning the blog, let me start off by saying: Yes, I know that I haven't been around and blogging or even posting much. I wish that I could say that I was sorry, but I can't. I find that at times, I need to step away from posting and blogging, for my own sanity and for the sanity of others.

So, what shall we discuss today? Let's have a mini catch-up session ...

The weekend after I watched SAW I, I hired and watched SAW II. I loved it! Genius, brilliant, lovely twists and I'm dying for the third installment to be released over here! I must admit that I wasn't really feeling Donnie Wahlberg as Eric Matthews, the dirty cop. But it was only a minor gripe of mine as Jigsaw and his booby trapped shelter were the major stars of the movie. How hectic was the Amanda twist? I never suspected a thing about that ... I was so shocked that I had to watch the movie a second time in order to 'pick up' on the suble clues that I missed!

Other than this, I've been trying to budget for the next two months, December and January. The harshest two months in the annual calendar. Damn it, it's tough. For some reason everything gets maxed out over the 'holiday' season ... credit cards, account cards, debit cards are emptied! Parties that max your reserve and energy. It's insane!

I've also tried to start my Christmas present shopping ... it's not going well. Everytime I go to the mall, I find something that I like, and then I buy it! Shit! This is the second time that this has happened! I totally suck at buying presents for people. Mainly because I'm drawn too the things that I like and secondly, because I don't know what that person wants. It would be so much easier if either one of these things could happen over Christmas:

1. Gift vouchers are welcomed and accepted as a proper gift and not just a 'fuck knows what you want, so go buy it yourself gift'

or

2. We all just buy each other a bottle of wine or SoCo or whatever poison is your choice.

or

3. No one buys any Christmas presents for anyone else, at all!

or

4. People actually listen to you and write down a Santa List of 10 reasonably-priced things that they would like to receive. (and you only have to purchase 1 of those 10 things!!)

Ya, anyway, so I'm going to be frequenting the malls a hell of a lot more than what I usually do, until I complete my list of people that require gifts from me. Hmmm ... somehow, this doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all!!

2006-11-30T06:48:00.000+02:00

So today on slackers i found a link to a video.Yes i know you all hate videos, But look at me care

This one is about modern Wh0res.
Dont worry its totally safe for work

Think about it

Nirvana are commercial

2006-11-29T15:56:00.000+02:00

Nirvana's iconic 1991 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" beat out hits from Madonna, Britney Spears and U2 to be named the best pop song in 20 years by Britain's Q Magazine.

In its November issue, which celebrates Q's 20th anniversary, the publication set out to identify the top 20 singles of the past two decades. Their picks range from pop sensations like Britney Spears' " ... Baby, One More Time," and Outkast's "Hey Ya" to The Prodigy's punk/techno mix "The Firestarter" and Guns N' Roses' hard-edged rock ballad, "Sweet Child O' Mine."

"The thing about 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' it was a watershed moment in rock music. It changed everything," said Q magazine deputy editor Gareth Grundy of the iconic Nirvana hit. "It put heavy music back on the map in the early 90's, really, that combination of punk-rock anger and the heavy Black Sabbath 70's metal. It was something new. Sulky kids everywhere loved Nirvana and continue to do so."

Who would have thunked it. Nirvana are actually comercial

2006-11-28T11:15:00.000+02:00

So i dont know if the three people that read my blog know about this, but Kramer(Micheal richards) is apparently a racist,

So heres the story, poor old Kramer was doing a show at the club, when a bunch of idiots went and tried to heckle a comedian, Him. You see, you dont do that. Thats like tackling a nfl player, expect to get youre ass kicked. So Kramer went and replied with some racist slurs, Not in the begining of the abuse, the audience is laughing, but as soon as the black okes started giving him shit back. The audience jumped sides. It also amazes me that the whole show wasnt put up on youtube and google video. You probably have a few more racist jokes in there. BUT that will prove he makes jokes about racism.

Chris Rock, Bill Engvel, Eddie izzard all make the odd racist comment, fair enough he pushed it a bit far. But the heckling from the audience continued. So what was he supposed to do? Shutup and take the abuse?

Check how the media can turn things around to fit their view

But atleast we laugh about it...

2006-11-27T08:54:00.000+02:00

So thanks to Joblog and slackers for pointing this public service announcement out to me

There are Minki photos!

2006-11-23T15:51:00.000+02:00

Ok so the debate still rages about the validity of the pics, But I for one believe they are real.

They are slowly but surely being posted all over the net, and chump-styles is the first blog ive seen with them on.The okes at slackers.co.za have 3 pics of her,in about 5 threads. They are the main reason that people actually looked for them, Well thats what i believe.

This woman is hot, no matter what anyone says. She deserves to be a model, she has the body for it, she has the looks and the lack of, well upstairs facilities.

So the pics leaked out after a friend photographed her in the tub(lucky friend) but there are more to come, here is just one of them

oh and its all safe for work , at the mo

On a lighter note

2006-11-22T12:31:00.000+02:00

So this is just a reminder that Friday night Chromium and some other bands, Inershia included are playing at Kahoonies, Its on ontdekkers road, (near the dance palace, dont ask how i know) So you all better be there,

OR I KILL YOU DED!<--- thats for ferdi

For Adrian. 2003 - 2006.

2006-11-22T06:48:00.000+02:00

So it has been a really long week for me.

Lask week Wednesday my little nephew passed away.
He was playing outside and his "granny" and "grand pa" were in the house, he fell, hit his head, fell in the pool and drowned. My entire family has been taking it really badly for the obvious as well as that he was the first born. So there was a lot of love that was to be given to him that can only be done through dreams and thoughts.

I thought that I would post this so that I may dedicate a little piece of the net to him.
He was such an amazing little guy! He had such an "exciting" personality. I laughed everytime I got to see him!!

Im really gonna miss him! He was only three years old. So there were very few things that he could do and say.
A thought has to be spared for my sister (Ricky - Lee) , her husband (Andre) and the grand parents whom Adrian was at. They took it really badly as well! The "grand pa" took it so bad that he tried to commit suicide himself after this because he felt so guilty!!

Adrian will be missed! By family and friends! He was amazing!!

quick one

2006-11-21T08:10:00.000+02:00

So no ones posted here in ages, so i thought id do it.

Seeing as im the reliable one that doesnt take leave,Tink, or the one that is still learning to type fast, murderdoll

So this weekend my mommy is back, thats cool,cause i havent seen her in over a month, She is coming down for interviews and so forth, hopefully she gets something and moves down, Cause heaven help us if my boet has to live with bernadine and i alone. He is going to be a naughty shit. Trust me.

So its almost payday, Cromium is playing on friday night, and i know where the place is.MWAHAHAHA im that good. really i am.

Wonder if cazz and them will make it,

oh one more flavour from me, please go to www.demofilter.co.za and vote for chromium, you cant let the other gay bands beat them, please!

2006-11-16T14:49:00.000+02:00

The interview was a disaster, i got drilled sideways, they killed me with questions, Its a nightmare

My thursday

2006-11-16T11:59:00.000+02:00

So this morning i just knew the day wasnt going to go good. I just woke up with that feeling, you know.while driving to work you wonder, did i turn the stove off, did i lock the cat outside, are the rats fed. But thats when i realised i didnt use the stove, we dont own a cat, and the rats eat anything.

My pc has packed up, yes, Ive lost around 30gigs worth of partially downloaded programs, Games, movies, music and so forth. This has happend before, but still it hurts alot. Ive pretty much given up on torrents. TORRENTS SUCK ASS. they are slow, unreliable and i end up seeding 20gigs for a 100mb file. Bastards..

But ja. i think today might just turn around a little later, cause im going for a job interview, again... Hoping for the best.

But ja. thats it from me for a while.

A brief view.

2006-11-14T06:51:00.000+02:00

So its officially Tuesday now.

The weekend was both really kak and good at the exact same time.

First off was the Springboks game against Ireland.
The outfit they chose to wear was rather interesting and really ugly at the exact same time!
This was to celebrate the 100 years we been playing rugby.
This is all they could celebrate as they played really kak and got their arses handed to them by the Irish! I heard that "Chim" was really impressed about their win (Apparently she is Irish).

The great part came from Arsenal winning against Liverpool at their new Emirates home stadium.
This was a big plus for me cause I got to come into the office yesterday and "choon" all the "Charose" kak about their team getting a hiding!

I know that "Fat EYE" will either forget to mention it totally or give a kak comment about them. So WA!! Ha Ha! I got to give a good one before you got to give a bad one!

"Good game" Arsenal!!

The search for Ferdi

2006-11-13T09:38:00.000+02:00

London - England

Well known sports writer The Ferdi is the cause of much commotion. On the 2nd of the September he was seen stealing an old lady. The lady only known as mommy to her children and fellow old age home inmates, was reportedly stolen while awaiting an enema.

"Mommy" as pictured below was a well loved woman in the community of oxygen thieves, She was an avid channel changer aswell as a Mash potato hogger. Many dont expect her safe return.

Ferdi seemed to start exibiting strange behaviour around the time his parents announced their departure to Southern mexico. Psychologists believe its a classic case of over exhaustion and lack of nutritional foods, Chipss and steak should be fed to this young man if he is spotted.

Ferdi, made famous by his Fat eye for a rugby guy thread on Jnforums.com was made to wake up at ungodly hours by his now deceased sister, cazz. She wont be missed. She died while cleaning the outside of her 70th floor window. Police dont suspect it was homicide and honestly cant be botherd.

Ferdi can be recognised by his sexyness and large unflabby waist line, He is around this tall. Weighing in at around 250pounds, pure beef for you ladies. Police ask that you phone them, as they want an autograph from the well known writer.

The weekend is upon something

2006-11-10T14:24:00.000+02:00

So this weeks probably been the bestest week ever, well apart from the odd black out we had, but ja.

Monday, got a call for an interview, thinking schweet, i went, hopefully i hear from the woman today, wednesday, got a call again,from another person, thursdays interview went well aswell as did todays,

Monday i will go for a second interview in rivonia(slap me if i know where though)

So now how to end of the bestest week ever?Well try surprising ferdi and weasel tonight, NO ONE TELL THEM IM COMING, ok...

we are going to trash the house one more time before their parents come back, The old folk have been gone for almost 2months, i miss them.

Anywhoo just wanted to fill you okes in, as if you care

What a day!

2006-11-08T16:00:00.000+02:00

WOW!! What day I have been having.

It all started off this morning when I got into the office. The one guy i work with (For security reasons I will call him Kalli), got a deal in on a programme we working on. The thing is that he had to give the guy a blady 50% discount to get it.

Turns out that he "poached" the deal from my one buddy Wayne!
Wayne was expecting the deal to come through with THREE people at FULL price. Now the useless idoit Kalli went and screwed that all up for Wayne and had to hand the deal over to Wayne as he was Poaching! HA HA HA!! Stupit D*ck!!

At around 8:30 I get a three delegate booking from The Netherlands and Logically Im all happy and made Kalli feel like an idiot! (Seeing as how he has only brought in one delegate on the entire programme and Im rocking like hell!)

The rest of the day went pretty breezy up intil 13:00.
We all went out to smoke and have lunch and when I returned I had another TWO delegates registration forms waiting for me on my desk. So once again, I was Jumping up and down acting like a 5 year old on Christmas day!

Again Kalli was really really pissed at me. Not that I really cared cause hey! More money for me at the end of the month!

Now Im just waiting for Lotto to call me and say Im officially a millionaire.
Now that would ROCK!!!

The complexity surrounding mid asia and the lower east

2006-11-08T15:58:00.000+02:00

Hahahaha ja right, id actually post something like that, Instead,heres a cartoon or two

Now thats humor!

Why you shouldnt count youre chickens before they hatch

2006-11-07T14:16:00.000+02:00

So I am back from the interview, What a scary place, Firstly they get you all comfortable with semi decent looking woman walking around. Then they scare the poop out of you with this ugly woman.

I went into the interview room, looked past the cuffs and whips. Cause i mean, who am i to judge, Incomes this attractive woman, she asks me to fill out a form, So im like cool.They are testing me to check if i can write, So i fill it in, about 3/4 the way through i realise im rewriting my bladdy cv. What a cheek! This is why i put patents on it,Well i pretended to.

So the questioning starts.

woman whos name i forgot: Why do you wanna leave youre current employer
Me: cause i hate americans and our boss is american (actually i said, i dont see a future at my company)
Wwnif: so you married
Me: in a serious relationship, (explained about ferdi and weasel,also about how much of a slut weasel is), god damn my looks

Wwnif: so you like wanna work here?
me: hell yeah(lighting up a smoke)
wwnif: um,ok , do you know what a pc is
me: stupid woman, how do you think i typed my cv, of course i do
wwnif: sorry im supposed to be in the kitchen
me: i knew it!
wwnif:youre sexy
me: thanks, but i told you,im spoken for

wwnif: well, we will phone you later in the week, and stop smoking in my office
me: Make me..and thanks!

so ja, i think it went well....HOLD F*&^ing thumbs

But ja, Wish me luck

AutoAfrica

2006-11-06T15:31:00.000+02:00

So ja. As you might have read , we went to autoafrica on saturday, What a bladdy dissapointment, There were just cars there, no cool merry go rounds, no big wheels. That show sucked!

I got to see the oros man, only problem was he fell into the vanish stands vat, so he came out white, i personally felt it was very racist to have him walking around there.. Silly white people.

And yes, I GOOD GAMED HIM! i swear i even heard a voice from above go, "nice one" , although it might have been Jono, gregs smaller,big boet.

I got to see a bunch of cars, the best of which was the R8, Man that thing is sexy beyond words, Id give up cailin, greg, chocolate, and maybe even veloria(snake) for just one drive in that car. It oooozes something that cant be explained, in a good way of course.

I did get a bunch of pictures,but because they were taken on my cellphone, it came out kak.so over the next week,or two days, i will be posting some of them, the better ones anyways,

Here is my new dream

Our day at Auto Africa

2006-11-06T15:26:00.000+02:00

So hopefully MarBro will delve into our recent little trip to Auto Africa.
I personally cant say too much as I dont have any of the photo's to post from the day.

What I can say is that I managed to con MarBro into "Good Gaming" a certain well known icon!!

Lets see if the oaf manages to post it today!

SAW I - My thoughts

2006-11-06T14:30:00.000+02:00

*Spoiler Alert* If you do not want to know the plot or any details of this movie, then I stongly urge you to stop reading now!

I generally only watch horror movies or read horror novels when I'm in a horror-frame-of-mind, sometimes that could be for weeks, and other times I won't go near horror for months.

Last week, I read a report on IOL about the third installment of SAW and realised that somehow, this movie has slipped through the cracks for me, as I had not even seen the first movie!! Horror of horrors ... so I rushed out this weekend, in the hopes of getting my hands on a copy. At my local DVD rental shop, I was hugely disappointed, as all the copies seemed to be out. I hunted through the section twice, and still no luck! I then decided to get The Grudge (yes, I know, I'm very much behind and am desperately trying to catch up with the latest horror-fest, on offer!!) but when I got to the counter and asked about SAW, I was in luck, as someone had just brought a copy back. So I ditched The Grudge (for now!) and went home eagerly with SAW.

Now obviously, I wasn't entirely oblivious to what SAW was about ... from what I had heard initially, is that it was about a serial-killer, who doesn't kill his victims, but rather gives them a choice to either kill themselves or overcome a somewhat grusome task, in order to live. The word 'grusome' was used to describe this movie to me, in capital letters, by many people!!

So I was a bit apprehensive when I first inserted into the DVD player and pressed play, but my apprehension didn't last too long. I was soon sucked into the diabolical and dangerous world of Jigsaw.

The opening scene, was confusing and disturbing, which is exactly what the filmmaker wanted the audience to see and feel. The interaction between Adam and Dr. Gordon throughout the movie was extremely well acted out and for lack of a better word, sincere.
I like the fact that the flashbacks in the movie held cleverly thought out red herrings, as well as clues to the ending.

I thought that the traps and the flashback traps were incredible. But, maybe this is where my macabre sense of humour comes in, but I truly didn't find this movie as grusome as what everyone warned me about! I mean, yes, the traps were horrific, there's no doubt about that! The man that tunnelled his way through the barbwire maze and bled to death, the guy that was covered in a flammable substance and has to walk over broken glass with a candle to retrieve the safe's combination in order to get the antidote to the poison and of course, how can we ever forget ... Amanda, and her reverse bear-trap helmet! Bloody hell, can you imagine using a sharp blade to hack open someone's stomach and retrieve a key, which is somewhere in the person's stomach entrails? Yuck!!

But let me tell you something, and it's your choice whether to believe me or not ... but one of my very first queries, as I was watching this movie was the fact that the dead guy, lying between Adam and Dr. Gordon seemed very much out of place. It didn't make sense to me and for a moment, I pondered if perhaps it was perhaps Jigsaw, but then soon dismissed it, as I couldn't believe that he would be able to lie there, without moving for such a long period of time! Imagine how pissed off I was with myself when he rose up, at the end, I literally could have kicked myself!!

I definitely knew that the creepy hospital orderly, Zep, was some sort of a red herring, but I didn't know in what context or how he would be connected to it.

What really irritated me, was the fact that Dr. Gordon took so long to make up his mind. Surely, if after a few terrifying hours, you realise that it's not a prank and that your family really is in danger, you start to do something, asap? But no, not Dr. Gordon, he waited till the deadline was over and received the call from his wife ... only to hear her struggle with Zep, hearing his wife and daughter scream ... then he decided to take drastic actions by cutting off his own foot and shooting Adam! Holy shit ... I can't even imagine (nor do I want to!) the excrutiating pain of having to hack off my own foot with a blunt hacksaw! But this is where I really appreciate the director for his intelligence. You see, as with Amanda when she was searching for the key in the stomach entrails and the Doctor who hacked off his foot, the director is brilliant enough to know that the audience's imagination can conjur up more grusome visions that what he would be able to portray. So he gave us just enough to fuel the imagination and then he backed off, very smart.

What's even more brilliant, is that although the majority of the movie was filmed in the industrial washroom with the two main characters, you never felt bored, perhaps only a bit claustrophobic ... which is intended, I suppose!

Overall, this movie gets a well deserved 10 out of 10 from me. It's not often that one can accomplish such a smooth and well thought out and intelligent screenplay. This movie stands out above the rest of the movies in the horror / gore genre, in that it doesn't lean on the supernatural, there are no ghosts, curses or haunted houses. It's a refreshingly smart movie and I can see why it's been making waves and smashing box office figures worldwide.

Needless to say, I have already booked SAW II for the upkcoming weekend! Check back for my next review, next week!!

Become Indispensable!

2006-11-03T14:42:00.000+02:00

If you've met some of the people that repair computers for a living, you might be shocked at their diversity of knowledge, experience, and behavior. Some are hands-down great technicians, but many seem like unprepared and ignorant kids who you wouldn't trust your toaster to, let alone something as critical to your life or business as your PC.

An outstanding technician is one who with professionalism and courtesy solves all the problems a user has without introducing new stresses or worries. These tips are written to aid technicians in following a path that is bound to put them above the pack and become indispensable to their clients and business. Every one of these tips can be taken as a matter of habit and will certainly boost your confidence as a technician and the money you bring into your business.

1) Never panic.

Don't respond emotionally if you do not understand a problem. Never scratch your head and act worried. If you don't know what something is, it's okay -- you can figure it out. Part of being a technician is being excited about discovering and solving new problems. If you fear or stress over repairs, you're simply in the wrong line of work.

2) Be professional.

First and foremost, show up on time. If you're going to be 5 minutes late to your appointment, call the client and let them know. I once received a $20 tip because I called to let a client know I was running 3 to 5 minutes late. Before I arrived I debated whether or not to call, but the client stated specifically this was why he tipped me. Being professional means dressing nicely, taking a shower, spitting out your gum, and not using foul language. Think of it like you're going to a job interview because every service call is essentially just that. If you want the client's business now and in the future, you should be as professional as possible at all times.

3) Remember their name and give them yours.

Introduce yourself with a strong handshake and say, "Hi, I'm Dan, nice to meet you." (with your name of course and preferred greeting). Most clients will respond with, "I'm [insert name here], nice to meet you, too." Being social does not come naturally to most computer geeks, myself included, but it's something you should constantly work to improve. Consider it a privilege that you're meeting so many new people monthly and that this is just one of the cool aspects of your job. Remembering the names of every person you meet may seem difficult, so make it a habit and work on it daily. Write them down if you have to – they are that important!

When a client gives you, some stranger, the name of their kids, friends, or anyone else, they think you're important enough to meet these people and know their names. Also these people are important enough to your client to introduce them to you – and many may become clients later simply because you've been introduced. Remembering every name is a surefire way to top-of-the-line service that nobody in town can rival.

4) Don't be afraid to call in for backup.

If you can't diagnose a problem, search the Internet. If that doesn't work, phone a friend. Ultimately, people really only want to see their problem fixed by whatever means necessary. While they may be impressed by your recall ability of every computer problem ever encountered, they will be infinitely more impressed when you fix the issue correctly.

5) Have your tools ready before you arrive.

A good technician can squeeze by with only a few tools. I carried a notebook bag with a decent notebook, a flash drive in my pocket with some basic tools, a couple diagnostic CDs for running hard drive and memory tests, some paper, pens, blank CDs, and so-on. If you've been a technician for even a few days, you should know basically what you need and don't need. Bring memory everywhere you go. You'll be shocked how many people don't have enough RAM which makes for a quick add-on sale and high customer satisfaction. Bring all the tools you require into the house. You should really only need to go back to your car for specific hardware replacements or upgrades.

6) Ask plenty of questions.

Don't be the diagnostic wizard and try to figure out everything yourself. A few quick replies from your client can solve a lot of headaches. Here are a few generic questions to ask: When did the problem start? Was anything changed since the problem began? What are the symptoms or error messages you're seeing? How do you get around the problem? Have you had any other problems in the past you would like to fix? Would you like to know how anything else on your computer can be upgraded or improved? Do you want your computer to do anything it currently cannot do?

7) Write down all problems and check them off as you fix them.

When paired with your geek mind, paper and a pen are about the most useful tools in your arsenal. Write down all the answers to the questions you've asked (see #6) and begin connecting the dots. Write possible explanations for each problem. As you begin the repair, write detailed steps you plan to take to complete the repair (backup pictures, install hard drive, install operating system, reinstall drivers, install Quickbooks, etc.). Cross out the steps as you complete them. Verify that everything works with the client before you leave and show him what you did (See #10). This is much easier with written notes.

8) Formatting is never an option.

Well, almost never. Formatting to fix even a moderate software problem is a very irresponsible move. People might say they have no critical data (or only photos, for example), but they probably installed plenty of codecs, web plugins, and other things that they use daily and take for granted. They may have customized the fonts, the desktop settings, the shortcuts, theme, and more. Formatting when facing crisis is the sign of a rookie technician. Try your best to fix the problem correctly, researching if necessary, and only format if you're certain there's no other way or the repair would take several more hours without formatting (which is usually not the case). If you must format, make a huge list of everything the client uses daily to be sure that no issues are presented later when it's too late to recover.

9) Answer any questions they have and let them watch you work if they want to.

Sometimes clients would ask me tons of questions while I work. I'm an excellent multi-tasker as most computer enthusiasts are, so I don't mind. It's fun for a non-techy person to watch a real technician dig into their PC and troubleshoot it. If you're doing a good job you should be proud to show them. Avoiding a client's questions is a sure way to lose repeat business and satisfaction.

10) Leave detailed job notes and a receipt.

Using your notes, reconstruct what you did for every step of the repair. Outline specifically what was replaced and why, to avoid issues later. Write a section in your notes for recommended actions a user could take to avoid the problem later. If you recommended additional hardware or services, mention why, the benefits, where to buy it, approximate cost, and so-on.

Add your e-mail address or phone number so the client can contact you personally. This way the client feels he is not stranded if the problem comes back. A 1-800-support or warranty number is not nearly as useful as a genuine personal contact. Save or print two copies: one for you and one for your client. Keep a copy so you can reference this visit later and remember exactly what you did and did not do. You will inevitably have to come back out to some clients' houses – these notes will act as blueprints for the first repair so you can know what you're in for ahead of time.

11) Know the major issues and don't skip them.

While you can do most research on the web for specific issues, never rule out the most common issues for computer problems without doing a full diagnostic of all hardware and software. Spyware, bad memory, bad hard drives, corrupted drivers, and power surges will probably account for the majority of your service calls. Always test memory and hard drives. It does not take very long with a DFT (Drive Fitness Test) quick test and a MemTest scan using Ultimate Boot CD. Also, with home networking, you'll replace a lot of routers, so always keep plenty in your vehicle.

Bloody Car Problems!!! - Part 3

2006-11-03T11:07:00.000+02:00

Sorry, I know that this should have been posted at the beginning of the week, but I went into a state of mild depression and only managed to resurface now.

I got my car back from the service centre on Monday afternoon, along with the account for their services rendered. But we'll get back to this a little later.

The good news is that my sister was right. It was the battery, one of the cell's had died. The bad news is that my brother is trying to convince us that he knew this all along and is now refusing to accept that my sister (and I?) were right! Men, blah!

Ok, so back to the account that I received. The service centre fetched my car from my house, replaced my dead battery, tested the starter and the alternator. Should I make you guess the cost? Or should I just spill it? Hmmm ...

Well everything came to just over R700.00, yeah, that's right, I'll say it again seven-fucking-hundred-Rand!! Thank god for credit cards! My previous visit to the service centre at the beginning of October also put another dent into my poor, abused credit card.

But on the bright side, at least everything is now sorted out and hopefully there won't be any further problems with the car *touch wood*.

Things woman should learn

2006-10-31T06:40:00.000+02:00

Ok so we all know by now that tink kinda got stuck yesterday.

So i decided to help all woman out, Come on Tink, why didnt you try to jump start the battery?Thats what i'd have done.I honestly thought you were going to do that when you mentioned youre sister went to her boot. But ja.So im going to list important things that you ladies should remember to check at least once a month

Oil, this is the most important.Without oil in youre motor vehicle, youre going to end up paying alot more to the friendly mechanic.Oil is check by pulling out the dipstick, Thin little thing, normally located near the front of the cars engine,It should have a loop on the end so that you can pull it out easily. DONT just read it once, pull it out,wipe it clean, stick it back and then take a reading. I dont know why,but my daddy said it was right. There is a small section that has blocks on it,near the bottom, the oil should just cover that,it can be over,but youre car will smoke.Petrol attendents can help here.

Tire pressure, If youre car pulls to one side, is sluggish on pullaway and makes an awful noise when driving. Youre tire pressure is probably stuffed. Tires have a pressure recommendation on them, somewhere, But it would be safe to just pump it to 2.0bar, im not going to get technical on how to estimate the pressures when hot, Just pump them when the tires are cold.OK. once again ,petrol attendents are youre friends.

Battery water, On top of youre battery,between the two poles (roughly) are covers that protect the water from dirt, evaporation and so forth. The water inside the battery isnt tap water, its distilled water. This waters avalible for free at the garage where you fill up and clean youre nails. The water should just cover the core parts of the battery.

radiator water. When youre temp gauge is flickering at you, or youre car has steam coming out the bonnet, its to late. So before that happens, go and check that you have enough water in youre car. There is only so many containers in the engine bay that take water, its normally a small bottle type thing ,with tubes coming out of it going into the radiator. Make sure thats filled with normal water (to the recommended line of course..)

so there we go ladies. Its not that hard to solve car problems.remember most mechanics are afrikaans.That alone should speak volumes for the simplicity of a car engine

Bloody Car Problems!! - Part 2

2006-10-30T14:51:00.000+02:00

Right, so where were we ...

Oh yes, me dreaming of making millions of Rands due to the motor industries sucky customer service! Well, it's a thought ...!

Ok, so realization hit me after phoning the forth, or is it the fifth company and not getting a response, that no one was open to help me (I kept on hoping that I was wrong!).

My sister then phoned her boss and asked if any garages sell batteries (see Murderdoll, we did think of this one!), which then lead me to phone half a dozen garages whilst choosing shampoo in the girly isle (remember, I'm still in Pick n Pay). Apparently, I can't multi-task while choosing a new shampoo! I wanted to get that new Elvive "mirror-shine" shampoo in the pink bottle, but whilst trying to say the words 'car battery' in afrikaans, I inadvertedly picked up the Sunsilk 'protein' shampoo ... also in a pink bottle. But anyway, I digress ...

Right, so we finish shopping for groceries and I find myself in a really stroppy mood because, firstly, I hate being without my car - independance issues arise here, and secondly, my gut-feeling tells me that this is gonna cost me a lot of money. I mean, only two weeks prior, my car was in at my regular service centre to have the front CV boot repaired, the alternator serviced and the starter cleaned.

So my sister drops me off at my house, as there's obviously nothing that I can do about it, on a bloody Sunday!! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!

After a sucky hour and a half of doing washing and hanging it on the line, I called my sister again and we decided to go and drown our sorrows in a Spur burger. We go to the Spur, our mommy comes with, and joy of all joy ... we get a waiter, but no, not any waiter ... a waiter who thinks he's funny, who makes silly jokes and reminds me far too much of one of my lesser-hated ex-boyfriends, so naturally, this makes me sad!
I order a blue-cheese and avo burger, and try not to beat him to death with my wooden menu when he tries to recommend something else. Anyway, the burger was devine and made me happy for about 10 minutes.

So onwards to my house after the Spur adventure, to find my brother had just pulled up into the driveway. Now, I have a very good brother, who actually knows a thing or two about motor cars (as all boys should!), so we go inside, put the kettle on for tea and he follows me into my garage as I rehash everything that has happened.

Unfortunately, I don't get too far into my story. I think I got as far as "... so we removed the car battery... " and then heard the audiable groan and saw him shake his head. My sister choose this moment to walk into the garage and I pointed at her and told him that it's all her fault, as it seems that removing the battery was the wrong thing to do (who knew?!).

Ok, so my brother starts putting the battery back, grumbling and bitching at us for being so stupid, coz apparently we could have shocked ourselves. "But we didn't" I kept on muttering back, but to no response. He completes this and then tries to start the car ... and NOTHING. He opens the bonnet again, gets a torch, looks around, checks the battery water, checks the positive and negative spark on the battery. Then he says that he's gonna try and push-start the car and that I must sit inside and keep the clutch in and wait for him to tell me and then release it. Now, for some reason, I hate doing this, I always get such a bloody fright when or if the car starts up, that I always manage to stall the car.

But he's not listening to me, and it's my turn to grumble and bitch ... he's still not listening to me! So I climb in and he pushes the car back, he tells me to release the clutch, and what happens? I frikken stall the car! Big surprise! Grrrrr!!

Being the determined brother that he is, he says that we're going to try again, so we do - although, not in reverse, and what happens? I finally manage to NOT stall the car!! Whoo hoo! Talk about a silver lining!

So my brother hops in, takes it to the garage, fills one of the battery cells with battery water, as it was apparently low and brings the car back. We leave it for about an hour as we have our tea and mommy's awesome chocolate cake, and then he goes back and tries to start the car with the key-in-the-ignition, which works! Eureka!

We all surmise that it must have been that one battery cell that was low and laugh off the stupid day that I've had.

This morning, I wake up at 06:00 and the first thing I do, is dash through to the garage and check to see if the car starts, it doesn't.
But you know what? It's MONDAY, which means that I can finally get some service from the motor repair industry!! Yay!
I call my service centre, the same ones that worked on my car two weeks ago and tell them my problem ... "hmmm, he says, it sounds like there's a drain to/from my battery" Great! I don't want to know what it sounds like, I want them to fix the problem and not charge me my Christmas bonus to fix it! We haggle for a bit, as he wants to recommend someone to tow the car to him and I keep seeing Rands flying away from me.
In the end, he arranged to collect it at my house and my work sent someone to fetch me (although, I wouldn't have minded spending a day at home!)
But I am getting a bit worried though, they collected the car from my house at about 12:00 and I haven't heard anything from them yet ... those "Rands flying away from me" vision is returning again!

Grrrrrrrr!!!

Bloody Car Problems! - Part 1

2006-10-30T10:01:00.000+02:00

Grrrr....!!!
I've discovered an effective way to release stress, that excluded using profanity. Yes, it sounds impossible, but it really is quite satisfying to growl, go on, try it for yourself ... grrrrrrrr! Don't you feel better now?!

Anyway, on Sunday morning (early!) I was meeting my sister to do grocery shopping. I know, it's not very glamourous, but it was a necessity, as the freshest thing that my fridge contained was the freshly grown mould on the ancient cheese - I kid!! I would never waste cheese! Heh heh!

So off I go to reverse my car out of the garage. I open the garage door, climb into my car, de-activate the immobilizer, turn the key into the ignition and NOTHING! Not a squeak, not a sound, certainly not the engine turning over!
Ok, so I did have a cocktail the previous evening, so maybe I did something wrong? Try again, checking that the immobilizer is still deactivated, I insert the key into the ignition and turn it ... nothing, yet again! Frustration begins to build. I phone my sister to come and fetch me.

She arrived and to prove to her that I'm not drunk or stupid, I attempt to start the car again. 'Hmmmm' she says, 'it has to be the battery'. Off she goes, to fetch something out of her car and before I can stop her, she starts removing my car's battery!! I figure, she knows what she's doing and start helping her (stupid decision number 1!).

Dammit, the frikken car battery is heavy!! Have you ever picked up a car battery? Sheeesh, if you haven't let me prepare you now, so that you don't strain your fourth vertabra, it's frikken heavy, maybe 10 or 15 kg, perhaps more! So we remove it and zoot off, in her car, to find a battery-selling-place to swap it for a new one.

However, I forgot (stupid decision number two!) that on a Sunday, the motor repair / spare part industry desert it's clients by daring to have a one day weekend!! Can you believe the cheek? I smell a business opportunity here!

Anyway, we go to Pick n Pay to do the grocery shopping, well, try to do the grocery shopping. Because at this time, naive me, still thought there was a Midas or a Battery Express or something that would be open, at least for the morning. So I was walking up and down the isles, cell phone to my ear, requesting numbers from directory enquiries and phoning random places. Only to hear the line on the other side ring and ring and ring and ring.
It was somewhere between the cereal isle and the bakery that I discovered the growling-thing, although I think that I scared a few customers, even though I did it under my breath! None of the places that I called had an answering machine which would give you an emergency number to call after hours! Seriously, the motor repair / spare part industry better be careful, coz I could make millons of Rands due to their ineffective customer service!!

Tune in later today for the conclusion to this rivetting Sunday drama ....

It's only yoghurt!

2006-10-26T14:57:00.000+02:00

So right now, I'm seriously pissed off!

Every day before I leave home, I grab some food for lunch. Usually, it's a piece of fruit, a sandwich and a yoghurt.

So after I finish my sandwich, I go off to our Admin kitchen to grab a glass of water and my yoghurt. Except my yoghurt is not in the fridge. I go back to my office and check if I perhaps forgot to put it in the fridge, no, it's not in my office.

I wrack my brain, and remember placing it in the fridge this morning. So off I go to ask what little admin staff there is, who scoffed my yoghurt. Now most of my colleagues are cool, and this has never happened before, until the new factory manager started. So I asked him if he ate or took my yoghurt and he responded by saying "I'm not guilty".

I don't have proof that he took it, but I know that one of my other colleagues has caught him in the kitchen eating their food a while ago.

So yes, I know ... it's only yoghurt! But I hate the fact the some people think that they are entitled to take what doesn't belong to them.

What would you do if you were me? Would you drop it or would you take it further or would you exact some sort of revenge???

Quick and simple.

2006-10-25T16:13:00.000+02:00

I gotta admit. Today has pretty much blown by like Hurrican Katrina on New Orleans.

I walked into the office today with a bit of a "Im looking to cause KAK today" attitude.

I think thats what contributed to my day blowing by like it did! The day is pretty much a blur.
Maybe that could be from the fact that I got knocked the fuck out with a fist against the head and have been sleeping moat of the day!!

I should seriously try and do this more often. Life is really fun like this.

Bye the way.... WHO AM I????

Friday!

2006-10-25T15:47:00.000+02:00

So what if its not friday.Today just feels like one to me.

today is infact Cailins birthday.Yes ladies and gents.She has one of those,Im pretty sure im going to forget it many many times.This morning i had my alarm set for 12 o clock,just so that i could sms her,Childish i know.The thought was there..

Jhb seems to be having a serious heatwave or something,This morning i was cruising along in my super cool golf and i noticed the temp was at 32 deg c..COME ON! It was 10am.Jissus, Where will it end?Are we going to be burned alive one day?Just wake up and be roasted?

Its getting so hot here im struggling to sleep.At night i really doubt that it drops below 20.I have kak sleeping habits,Such as talking in my sleep(gregs first post) and i also have to have a blanket over me,Not a sheet,A Blanket.Its horrible i tell you horrible.

So ja..Im just going to sweat it out here in the office for another hour.then go home and maybe suck on some ice or something...

2006-10-24T06:57:00.000+02:00

The Wait is Over

Yeah. I know that the majority of YOU people that read and comment on the site are women, but I just had to publish this post with the VIDEO and let you all know that something major is coming! Ok. Not to South Africa yet, but hey... Still...

This is the ad for the PS3 that was officially released in the States as well as Japan on November 17. Now this is a huge deal due to the fact that Sony has everything riding on their new technology. This being the Blue Ray Disc!

Sony has pretty much invested everything that they have to try and make this work. If it does, they will seriously own the market, if it bombs out, well... Im guessing that Sony will have to file for Bankrupcy!
The Official launch for Europe and S.A should be around March 2007. Such a long time to wait!!

So without further adue, Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ad for the PS3!!!!

Job hunting part2

2006-10-23T15:13:00.000+02:00

So im still looking for a job.Apparently those little papers you recieve when you pay a college alot of money is really valuable. Who would have thunked it.

So this morning i went out and sent my cv to 4 more companies.Then started my day.Its been a shit day.Ive had little time to do anything and no its not cause im lazy.Its cause there are gremlins in the bladdy pabx. For some reason the pabx system just conks out on me. Then the time and date will change, really creepy.

But ja.back on the topic I picked,Job hunting

Thanks to the internet its apparently become alot easier to find work. I geuss im just doing it wrong. I have been on almost every job hunting site in sa, and nada.Nothing,Kaputnik.... There are a few ones here and there. But the bastards(geuss i shouldnt be calling my possible employers bastards yet) dont reply to my applications. What the hell am i doing wrong? Why dont they like me?Is it cause im black?

so ja.I will be keeping you all up to date.

What a weekend.

2006-10-23T12:45:00.000+02:00

Well...
What a weekend.
This had to have been one of the most boring weekends of my entire life.

On Friday i did my work thing as per usual. (which consisted of me sitting at my desk and "illegally" playing on my PSP). Left work, went home and watched tv. Then Slept.

Saturday I did pretty much the exact same again. Nothing at all interesting about that!!

Sunday was pretty much the highlight of my weekend. This is due to the fact that MarBro geniusly thought of an idea. He said that we should get out the house for a while and go somewhere. Where better to go than to Hillfox!?

I mean they had a undercover Flea Market (the best thing about that was the food court), a kak load of kak stores and the Kampbels were to play at the exact same time as us being there. Now dont get me wrong. I dont exactly enjoy ANY form of "Dutchman" music but hey... This could have given us a serious opportunity to chuck some vrot tomatoes at these brandy drinking windsurfing dutchmen!!

We decided against that and returned home to nap and prepare for WWE. Ja I know, My life is depressing!!

I need money!!!

Keeping in touch

2006-10-20T11:15:00.000+02:00

So last night my sister informed me that one of my friends siblings passed away two days ago...So I tried to track down her number.This proved to be an impossible mission.

First i tried clayton.I asked him if he knew anyone that actually had it...He sms'd me claires number.Claire then went and dropped one on me,Shes engaged..Jeepers.All my friends are getting serious in their relationships.what the hell!!

Am i slow?

Last time i spoke to most of them was at Laurens moms funeral....Why is it we only get together cause of deaths?hardly anyone gets together for a braai,wedding etc,Its always at those kak times.So you always have that awkward moment where youre not sure to ask anyone else "so hows life treating you?"

Cazz had a old buddy post on her blog a few days ago..Dont know how the hell she found her blog.but ja she did...its still amazes me as to how people actually just lose track of certain people..

But then again.some you just dont want to mingle with

When illness sneaks up ...

2006-10-19T16:34:00.000+02:00

I'm not sure if I've spoken to you guys about my boss yet. But now seems like the right time to do it, so I'm going too.

My boss and I almost share a birthday, I say almost, because we were born one day apart. He's 3 years older than me and, dare I say, just as stubborn and pig-headed as what I can be ... oh the joys of being a Taurus!!

Anyway, sometimes we don't get on at all due to our similar personality traits but most of the time we get on really well. He steals my ciggies and then replaces it with a packet or a carton, which far outweighs what he has taken from me, so I don't mind!

He really is a great guy and a terrific boss and I'm really thankful to have him (now, if only he'd double my salary, then I would be in work-heaven!)

This year, he's been complaining about his eyes and his eye-sight and he's gone for a fair amount of eye examinations and to specialists but they all have said that there's nothing wrong with his eye-sight. Recently, he's been very sick, so it was back off to his GP, then to a specialist to have blood tests taken and various scans done. Yesterday, he had to go for a cat-scan on his brain and they've discovered a growth (I think it's a tumor, but NO ONE is saying the T-word, so lets stick with growth) on his brain.

Needless to say that we're all very shocked about it and extremely upset. Today, he recieved the results back from the secondary tests that they have taken and the neurologist has admitted him immidiately into the hospital. When he called me earlier, he said that the growth is about 4cm big, which sounds fokking big and damn scary to me. They are performing the operation on Saturday morning ... please, guys, please keep Tony and his family in your thoughts and prayers for me, we're all very nervous and scared for him, but we're trying to be as positive for him as possible.

Saw3,nuff said

2006-10-18T16:24:00.000+02:00

Im also back!

well honestly.no one ever really left.We just got sidetracked with a heated game of hide and go seek....They are sneaky little bloggers.

So what have i been up to this week?Well if someone actually asked me that my response would probably have been..Oh nothing much,job hunting, downloading, peeing in the bath.Normal stuff really.

With justin gone,(i know i sound like a beat up old record) i have had to really start working.Hence the lack of comments from me.Not to mention the lack of blogs..Or communication(which is really woman language for rambling).So i decided today im going to take it chilled.The phone is ringing while im typing this but im not going to answer it...Bastards

Ok, job hunting.Its bladdy hard.Why cant they just make a job season.Like with goats,deer and russian woman.Its so much easier to catch one if you know when to start looking.Yes there are jobs all over.But the thing with IT is you have to have papers(okes at chumpstyles know what i mean).I have the experience,I can be an IT techie, i really can>But they dont want that.They just want someone that knows what a pc looks like,from pictures.

So ja...im busy doing that today.Also started my mcse 2003 studying on monday..Not good.....

Communication

2006-10-17T14:19:00.000+02:00

So this morning Marbro and I had a huge fight. He chirped me and I bitched back at him and before I knew what was going on, he told me to take the blog and I told him to keep it and resigned as a writer on this blog.

How stupid!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not calling Marbro stupid, I'm just saying that if we had only COMMUNICATED properly to each other, then we wouldn't have to resort to arguing over nonsense!

Thankfully, we pm'ed each other and managed to sort out the root of the problem, which brings me to the topic of this blog, COMMUNICATION.

Experience has tought me that we might be talking to our friends/family/loved ones, but exactly how well are we communicating to them? or listening to them?

I mean if you say to your sister "so you took the DVD's to the store 3 days overdue?" she's gonna reply with, "yes" and not know that she's irritated the living shit out of you and you're very close to doing a Shanna vs. Paris on her. But if you had said to her, "Please don't return the DVD's 3 days later as it really pisses me off", she's going to know that you are not happy with her doing this and that you will definitely roundhouse punch her the next time she does this.

The biggest problem with ineffective communication is that we see our side of the 'story' and we assume that the next person does too, but little do we realise that the other person may see something in a totally different way to us and they too think that other people see things their way.

Perhaps our ego gets in the way of being able to say the things that really matter to other people, like saying 'sorry' or 'forgive me' or 'I acted like a real dumbass' ... but at the end of the day, a person's ego doesn't keep you warm at night.

I have made many mistakes with regards to communication meltdowns or problems, but I always try to learn by my mistakes and to grow through them.

How's your communication?

A Draw is better than a loss.

2006-10-17T06:51:00.000+02:00

So as you know by now the Currie Cup is officially over.
The Blue Bulls and The Cheetahs ended up on sharing the cup. This is not the worst result as the Cheetahs should be very pleased that Gary Botha decided to share the cup with them instead of taking all the glory for themselves.

Now. The Bulls did have a brilliant season and I have to take my hat off to the Cheetahs for doing so well. They really did perform as a team and support each other. But my blood is still blue and I would have personally liked to see the Cup coming back to Pretoria for the full year. Non the less this entire result has been giving a lot of mixed emotions.

A lot of the people that I have been speaking to in my office say that either the Bulls should have taken it or the Cheetahs.

Straight after the game on Saturday I et messages from The Ferdi, Caz and Basti. All three of them gave pretty much the exact same responses. "The Bulls suck".

At least the season is over now and they can get off my back and we can sit and wat how Arsenal fucks Man U up his season!!

HELL YEAH!!!

Drunken Phone Calls ...

2006-10-16T15:21:00.000+02:00

On Friday night, I was pleasently surprised to receive a call from my friend, Cazzy. Surprise soon turned into uncontrollable giggles as I realised that Cazzy and everyone else there was pissed!

It was very difficult to have a decent conversation (because I rarely do!), as there was screaming and shouting in the background, plus Cazzy played Inersha for me (thank you, babe!).

I then spoke to Marbro, who when asked how he was, replied with "sexy, as usual", by this time I was ROFLMFAO! Then the phone was passed between Ferdi, who confessed that he had baked a cake and I was not to tell a soul (heh heh!) and Berny, who I really couldn't understand! Like I said on JNF, at first I thought she was talking German, but soon I realised that she was talking Brandy!

It sounded like a great party and I was pleased that in their drunken state, my Jozi friends gave me a call! ... even if they can't remember what they spoke about!!

Although I didn't speak to everyone that was at the 'intervension', I heard Inki, Gol and I think Nerf in the background.

Damn, I can't wait to save up enough moola get up to Jozi, so that I can meet everyone!! It's going to be totally cool! ... And I promised Cazz that I would bring the TEQUILA!!

Two Thorns and a Rose

2006-10-16T13:06:00.000+02:00

In case you are wondering, I'm talking about the new set up here on The Real Tink, Marbro & Murderdoll.

Jeeezzzz, I get busy for a few weeks and Marbro practically replaces me, with a defective blogger! No notice or conversation about it at all. Just 'bam' new blogger! Oh the shame!!

But I'm back, and I'm bad and I'm gonna rock this blog harder than ever, because, after all, I can't exactly count on the other two bloggers!

So new blog coming up shortly!!

shhhhh

2006-10-16T11:13:00.000+02:00

You guys hear that?Yip nothing.......

why? cause this weekend was a stuff up of note....Nothing.No curriecup (very offensive name) winner, well there are at least two second place finishers though.

hehehehe

scary

The horrors of drinking

2006-10-13T15:02:00.000+02:00

So weasel,evil cazzys brother seems to have developed a drinking problem

The worst part about it is he is going behind their backs and not sharing.So tonight we have decided that we are going to have an intervention,followed by some beer and a braai.It should work out well

What im hoping for is weasel to realise that he has a problem.A problem that might lose him the only three friends he has.You see if he doesnt share his drinks, there is really no reason for people to hang out with him

But it could also go pear shaped,cause cazz would be on her third or fourth drink by then.Unlike randy from my name is earl.Thats about the time she gets witty.She starts chirping and just might say something to push him over the edge and into the bottle.Weasel is a strong chap,surprisingly strong for an auditor,probably cause he has been know to audit rough and tough companies like Virgin and SAB.Not an easy task

So lets all think about weasel tonight,Hold thumbs and may the booze flow

Its Friday!

2006-10-13T06:39:00.000+02:00

Yay! Its Friday! Only one more day till the Blue Bulls can have some justice and take back what's rightfully theirs!

Another cool thing is that we managed to get ourselves a half day today. If we somehow manage to bring in two more delegates between now and 13:00 we will have R4000.00 to spend on lunch as well. Now that seriously kicks ass!! The really cool thing is that I have gotten into the routine of playing action soccer every Friday. Its seriously a lot of fun and its good exercise.

So today at 13:00 I will be running the hell out of the dump we call work and stright onto the action soccer court to have a friendly match against some competition! Hell Yeah!!

Anyhow. Hope you all have a great weekend!

GO BULLS!!!!

A Team Worth Supporting

2006-10-12T06:50:00.000+02:00

So here it is. Thanks to CaZ for giving me this fantastic idea! I cant beleive i dint think of it sooner!

Wondering what im talking about? Im talking about the BLUE BULLS BABY!!! Hell yeah!
Now thats a team worth supporting!

Its actually amazing the jealousy that there is about my support for them as well as for them in general.

I mean people are are very quick to throw "5 cent" comments at me when the team does badly or loses a game. Yet no one makes any mention when they whip a team or do fucking brilliantly!
Isn't that just a little unfair.
Lets look at this:

The Blue Bulls are on there way to the Finals,
The Lions?? Nowhere to be seen. I think that they are sitting at home having a cup of tea and keeping each other warm.
Fair enough the Blue Bulls lost to the cheetahs last year at Loftus, but people must also remember that this is a new season and the team is stronger than ever and they are playing like real champions! I mean look at Pierre Spies if you want. That oke if playing like there's no tomorrow!! That makes me proud!

The Bulls are probably the best side that South Africa has for the Super 14. Where are the Lions?? THEY NOT EVEN PLAYING NEXT SEASON! They got relegated and some other crappy team from S.A is going to be playing in their place. Now what does that say!?

Regardless of all these very very true points that I just laid out, the Bulls DO have a very tough game ahead of them this weekend! I mean they will be playing the Cheetahs in the Freestate for the cup. Its gonna be one seriously tough game, but I do have faith in my team and I will be supporting them all the way! Either way, win or lose, My blood will still be blue.
GO BULLS!!!!!!!

Down Time!

2006-10-11T11:54:00.000+02:00

So it seems that I am currently experiencing a little down time.
Our phone lines seem to be going through a little pms or soemthing of the sort.

Currently my entire office is only able to make calls to Johannesburg, anything else and the phone just "freaks" out and the person on the otherside cant hear shit!!

Its actually amazing how major companies are willing to cut corners to try and save a little extra cash to get a bigger cut at the end of the year!!

Like now for example. The phone lines are shit, we using a crap network and the Headsets or "Britney Spears Microphone" is litterally falling apart. I used to use one of these as I thought that it would make the work a little easier ( and I wouldn't have to hold a phone to my ears the entire time!).
Eventually my headset was so fuct that I was tryng to hold it together with prestick and sellotape! Yeah I know, its sad. It just shows you how far a person is willing to go to try and be lazy! Eventually I dumped the headset and reverted back to my good ol' receiver.

Now the lines are fuct. Man this sux!!

Just for Ferdi,cazz and michelle

2006-10-11T09:42:00.000+02:00

The Expectation

2006-10-11T06:50:00.000+02:00

Well.. Here it is. My first official post.
It seems to me that there is actually quite a lot that is riding on this post. Like will MarBro still allow me to call him my friend, will he still let me touch him and mummbling that its still safe and that someone must go?

Yes. Its true. Last week Thursday night I was lying in my bed and struggling to fall asleep. All was quiet in the house, the time was around 23:45, the next thing i new i heard MarBro at the top of his voice saying "Go, Go its safe GO!!!!"
I couldn't help myself to have a look and see if he was rolling aound on the floor holding his pillow on his arms like a rifle and trying to attack Valoria or what...

So I go and stand at his bedroom door in just my "love shorts" and my sleep shirt and stare into his room. Im sure you can see what this might have looked like. Turns out the fucker was talking in his sleep and wasted my time on nothing. Hey, I gotta say that I did have a good laugh about it though.

It seems that this talking in my/his sleep thing is actually contagious!!

The Suspense

2006-10-11T06:35:00.000+02:00

So as we all await Gregs first post...We start to wonder.Will he change his avatar?Will he post legible writing?Will the world as we know it just continue without actually changing in anyway that is noticible to the common man on the street?

So what do you think he'll post about?Small ponies running off in to the sunset?Mudvaynes newest song,that still needs to be written?Playstation 17 and its its green ray technology?Well i think i can answer that.Its going to be about.....Wait sorry i have to go work...

Greg,

2006-10-10T07:27:00.000+02:00

So you all might have noticed,Tink doesnt really have as much free time as we thought....So ive added another writer,No its not going to spoil it.This one can type.And it wont be about that bladdy paris cow.

So welcome greg

My boobie

2006-10-09T16:34:00.000+02:00

So thanks okes.You made the weekend for me!

Kakkest monday in ages

2006-10-09T16:24:00.000+02:00

This morning i woke up after a whole four hours of sleep.Yes, i watched the grand prix last night.Im seriously going to miss old schumi,Even though he sort of killed F1,

But back on topic. So this morning i walked in,to find my boss here already.Didnt think much because in the last 2years,he's been at work before me, nothing major.

Turns out he was packing up the small things that he might just forget at the office,He had a bad feeling about the changes happening in ME(company name).At around 8ish ,our GM and FD phoned him and wanted to see him, Justin walked back shook my hand and said,nice working with you.

9years and all he gets is an hour and maybe a months salary.What bullcrap.Is that what a human is worth to a company.All the effort this man has put into this company.Painting the offices,Building servers till the wee hours of the morning.And he doesnt even get a proper thank you.

Justin taught me pretty much all i know.(not much but to get it right takes a real man).He taught me how to rewire a pabx,configure phones, set up windows 2003, the list just keeps going.He seriously is a legend.I just cant believe that they just chucked him away.What is this world coming to?

So ja for pretty much the whole day,ive been running around like a sweaty piggie cause ive been fixing everything.Apparently im not as good as i thought.

Cape Town again

2006-10-05T17:07:00.000+02:00

So tomorrow morning im getting up at 4:15 to catch a flight down to capetown..BUT im going to be working my ass off.So sorry doubt ill be able to blog.But hey come visit anyways.Maybe tink will actually post.WHO KNOWS!?!

Woodstock recap

2006-10-05T07:07:00.000+02:00

Okie dokie so I have more time on my hands.Just enough infact to tell you about woodstock.IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Friday afternoon we rocked up there and started to set up.6 people,three tents and way to much booze(sad story about that later).We had the tents and so forth up and beer in the coolerbox within 2hours,quite impressive seeing as only ferdi helped cazz with her tent.Bernadine,you just stood around.

So ja,the booze started flowing,we were right infront of the stages,literally 20m away from them,In hindsight it was actually a kak place to camp.So back to the booze.I drank as much as I could.I think I polished of around 5 beers,2litres of brandy and coke,and 1litre jack and coke,I just didn't even get tipsy.Im really an embarrasment to my family.

Cazz however got tipsy...we all could see that.And honestly we expected nothing less from her,

So the bands.Who do I reckon was brilliant.Well obviously Inershia, those okes seriously kick butt,Pity about the whole 16stitch thing happening while inershia was playing, but we got to see who really listens to good music.(for those of you who don't know,16stitch is one of the best known bands in sa). Oh inershia signed my boobie,At first they didn't want to,but they gave in , cazz has a single pic of it......

Other good bands.Well pestroy dissapointed me, arno shouldn't sign, OOO OOOO my epic rocked, that was a good moshpit,Nice on basti for being bumped to the ground by a skinny person.Wuss. Dantes muse(what ever the hell they are called) are also quite good, havent heard them before but ja....bloodline kicked ass again.The moshpit got a bit much so I left.Apparently misled caused so much kak the metal tent was nearly destroyed...They make us so proud...

So ja...Next year hopefully will be a bit better...But till then.keep reading my kakakas

My holiday

2006-10-03T16:46:00.000+02:00

So I geuss I should tell gary what I got up to lately,with me being on leave and all he must have been worried.Shame I actually missed him.

So it all started about 17days ago...when I went to the airport.i thought I was late,so I started taunting cazz,I thought karma couldn't hurt me more than Cailin was going to.Turns out I was early.So I dodged a major bullet there.

I was sick when she came here.so it didn't help things at all.I hadnt been keeping food down and so on and so forth.In the end my mommy made me come to botswana,Which I enjoyed.Also it was the first time cailin had been outside SA,yes its not far,but so fudge what!

In bots we just lazed around.l kinda liked that..alot

We also went to the game park.saw lots of little piggie things and some biltong.

Last week as you know the highlight was when my car got broken into.Thanks to Quintin Green from hollard it was sorted out in super quick time.Can you bladdy believe it.One day and I had a new radio and speakers.Im thinking of actually staying with them.

But ja.Time to leave now.So enjoy and cheers!

Internet hassles

2006-10-03T13:31:00.000+02:00

So I got to work this morning and decided I was going to post a blog.I honestly don't think I could have been more wrong.

You see my internet is giving us kak.I think its full or something.I click on the blogger thingy mabob,(tech terms) and it just hangs there.I cant get onto student village either.Its so bladdy frustrating.I hate it.

But ja.Ill keep trying,or just mail thru another blog later.At least im back

Could you kill?

2006-09-29T14:57:00.000+02:00

I've noticed that on occasion, I will use the expression "I could kill ..blah, blah" and one or two other people that I know have also said this, in jest or in anger.

But seriously, could you? would you? and what would be the circumstances or the breaking-point, for you?

I'm not a violent person, by nature. I hate conflict. I hate arguements. I hate physical or mental violence. But I recon that if someone fucks with a loved one of mine, and I mean, seriously fucks with them. I could hurt someone. I don't think that I have it in me to be able to take a human life, my belief-system will not allow me to do this.

I guess the thing that frightens me is, when I think about it, is that what we think and what we do, in the heat of the moment, is two very different things.
Anything can happen (and usually does!). Who we are today, is not necessarily who we will be tomorrow.

I can't even say that I will never pre-meditate someone's death, as we all fantasise on occasion, of someone we hate or dislike being dead, don't we?
I think that if self-defence was needed then I would definitely do my utmost to protect myself and who ever else is with me, should the need arises. But still, I still don't see me being able to take a human life.
So I'm going to have to say that I doubt that I would be able to kill, but that I can't confirm this 100%
What about you?

Weasel is the man

2006-09-28T09:57:00.000+02:00

This morning i woke up..ready to take cailin to gold reef city.Cape town only has ratanga so i thought id show her the real deal

I went and showered did the whole shebang and then had brekkie.When what do i hear?Weasel knocking on the door...hmmmm .I thought, does he love me?No....

He came to tell me my car was broken into.The fudgers took my radio,speakers,cd's and my bladdy psp..Greg if youre reading this.Ill get you a new playgear protector thingy.Im really sorry.also i think i might have killed youre snake....

so ja.Short blog to tell you if you see someone with a Korn Bracelet running around town.BLIKSEM THE KAK OUT OF THEM.

Paris - hate her or love her?

2006-09-27T13:04:00.000+02:00

When it comes to Mz Hilton, we all have an opinion - we either hate her or we love her, but suddenly, out of no where ... I have found a grey area between hating and loving her.

Now, don't get me wrong, I still can not stand the shit-for-brains-bimbo, but I do have a smiggen of respect for the girl.

Let's go back a few years, shall we? Paris first hit the headlines when her now infamous 'One night in Paris' porn home video was leaked onto the internet.

I still remember many people asking 'who the fuck is she and why should we care?' (truth be told, we still ask those questions! ha ha!). We were informed that she was the heir to the Hilton Hotels and that she is worth ga-fucking-zillions ... and the next bloody thing is, is that the bitch was EVERYWHERE! Parties, premiere's, launches, clubbing with a slew of her famous friends.

She classifies herself as a 'brand' and quite frankly, she's right.

Put her face or her name on any product and it literally flies off the shelves. Let her show up at your nightclub and you've been approved by the in-crowd. She's been a ramp model at Fashion Week, a magazine model, an actress, a spokesperson, hosted her own TV series and been a promoter of various other products. There seems no end to the publicity vehicle that is Paris.

Now, you are probably wondering why I have a smidgen of respect for her? Well, it is very simple. I admire people who have dreams - and manage to achieve them.

Her dream was to be famous and with the help of her wealth (and extensive plastic surgery), she's a household name.
She might be a blond slut who sound stupid and childish when she talks..
She's been listed in the Guinness book of Records as the most over-rated celebrity ever..
She might just suck at every 'career' that she has attempted..
But you know what?
If she wanted to, she could spend the rest of her life travelling the world and holidaying wherever she wants to, without even denting her inheritance.
Which brings me to the real reason why everyone hates her as much as what they do, jealousy. Oh it's true, don't even try to deny it.

From what I can see, Paris doesn't need Hollywood, but it seems that Hollywood and fame certainly needs her.

Love her or hate her? And why?

Live vs. Nickelback

2006-09-21T10:21:00.000+02:00

So anybody who knows anything about music knows that two of the hottest rock groups will be touring in South Africa soon.

Live and Nickelback

I love them both, equally ... er, almost equally.
The split is something like 49 % / 51 % .
It's very close.
If you put a loaded gun to my head, I still would not be able to decide which one I love more, I would probably have to take the bullet.

Now, here is my huge dilemma ... I can only afford to go to ONE CONCERT!!
Someone pass me that gun, please! :(

I am kind of leaning more towards Nickelback but this changes dayly, yesterday I was kind of leaning more towards Live.

Whatever happens though, I will still be close by or outside the stadium of the concert that I did not get to attend. I have also got my 'peeps' in and around Cape Town who have their ears and eyes open for where the bands will be staying etc. Last time, I missed Bon Jovi leaving their hotels by about 45 minutes ... I will not make this mistake again!

So, I'm going to need all my loyal readers, yes that is the three of you, to help me decide which concert to go to or to offer me useless advice ... or pay for the other ticket!!!!

Sowwy!

2006-09-18T11:01:00.000+02:00

Sorry, seriously, I didn't mean to neglect my faithful readers, all three of them, oh and Gary too, seen that he had a huge crush on Marbro.

The reason that I've been so scarce is because I have been busy, at work. I kid you not!

I have no idea how it happened or when it actually started, but one day I found myself at my desk with a damn in-tray that stretched all the way to China and for every item that I complete, someone dumps another ten on the in-tray!

But that is not the only reason, you see, a few of my online mates and I have opened a thread on Tashitagg.com where we are writing a 'novel' using other members and ourselves in the storyline.
Damn, it's exciting and thrilling and funny. I don't know if what we are writing is any good at all, but it is extremely enjoyable. Even for one of the contributing 'authors' you never quite know where the storyline is heading, because just as you have completed a certain plot in your head, one of the other 'authors' will come along and completely change the entire direction of the story!
I would love to start something like this on JNF, but somehow I doubt if it will fly.
But ya, that is what I've been up too, and I sincerly promise to not neglect you all again!
So *mwah* and I hope that you have forgiven me!!

Medical aids

2006-09-14T13:42:00.000+02:00

What a bladdy rip off.Seriously!im not on one.but still the amount that pharmacy's charge you if youre on one.Its daylight robbery.Simple medication that actually lets you get out of bed costs more than most people spend on food a month.Its a disgrace

Ive been told by my boss that i have to join a medical aid.Im looking at joining discovery.mainly cause the kak company i work for pays half.So....thats what im going to have to do soon.Very soon.

Ive started my leave early cause well...im dog sick.Ive been bed ridden for the last 2days.and last week.well i hardly ate.Its a very scary thing for a fat kid like myself.

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in todays world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didnt give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called Who Represents where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name wait for it is www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, theres the Italian Power Generator company www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If youre looking for computer software, theres always www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, theres these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at www.gotahoe.com

September is fully booked!

2006-09-07T15:16:00.000+02:00

You know how weekends are sometimes, you get the hectically busy ones where you feel like death warmed, over when you get to work on a Monday, or you get the boring weekends where nothing is planned and nothing happens and you are bored out of your mind.

I am pleased to report that my weekends for this month is fully booked!! Whooo hoo!!
And the grooviest thing is, is that it's been booked up by an assortment of my favourite people!
Don't you love it when a plan comes together.

So for the next few weekends, I shall be meeting friends at a cocktails bar, indulging in a craving with the girls, meeting a gang of people who I have not seen in a few months (even though we chat, pm, and email weekly, if not daily), going to the movies with my sister, hitting the Waterfront with other friends and going to stay with another mate out in Noordhoek, plus there's a couple of Rugby games that I need to watch and I will rope in a couple of rugby-loving friends for this too.

Damn, I think I'm tired (and broke) already, just thinking about it!

I usually don't plan weekends very far in advance or commit to them, very far in advance either. But do you know what is coming? Year End (again! I know, ridiculous!!), which generally means that we try to squash as much in as possible, carreer-wise and personally, before the beginning of the new year. Why do we do this? I have no idea, but the rush of year-end corporate parties, gatherings with friends and loved ones, is both exillerating and tiring.

And the thing is, that my whirl-wind of year-end stuff, seems to be beginning in September. That is four months before the actual year end!! And in case you are wondering, I said the previous sentance with a hint of pride and not an ounce of complaining!!

Why i hate staying at home

2006-09-06T14:23:00.000+02:00

Well staying at home means i do nothing all day.As fun as that may seem.Its not.Its one big horrible reminder of how boring and monotonus primary school was.sitting on youre rear end all day doing nothing is the worst punishment i can recieve.

Yes on weekends i dont mind doing it.Because there is proper shit on tv.Not Alias from 18years ago.Or that dallas kak.Dont get me started on rikkie lake.What a stupid bladdy lesbian.Someone please shoot her in the foot,laugh at her then shoot her knee cap off.Why does she have to be so.....Talkative.Bitch youre not even hot!

So ja.back onto why i hate staying home.Sitting at home means the maid has time to actually talk to me.I dont talk to the help.Im not racist,im not above her.She is just a broken record.I need a new mop.I need the new washing powder.I need the dog to stop biting me.Shuttup a bit.Really.Look around the answers are there somewhere.....

but ja.then there is keeping youre self entertained...You cant go sleep,cause then there is no way youre going to sleep enough tonight.Thats why we dont get nap time at the office anymore.That and i apparently talk in my sleep...

I ended up playing psp most of the day.Still feel shit and lost out on alot of work....Staying at home sucks ass!

PC romance

2006-09-05T14:02:00.000+02:00

I thought this was funny ...

So this weekend was kak

2006-09-04T15:34:00.000+02:00

well most of it i spent rolling around in my bed.Its impossible to sleep when youre sick.Last night for instance,i got in a whole 2-3hours sleep.The rest of the time i was changing between shivering and sweating.I know you all wanted to know that..

So friday night meant early sleepy time,as greg wanted to go to Richards bay to pick up a package, He kinda woke me up by going to the bathroom.I thought it was a burglar,but when he let rip and made a stinker i thought,No ways....Its greg.

Saturday saw me waking up at 5ish.Sore throat,painful chest,and i think i lost my teddy bear.....Wound up at the beerfestival.Went and fetched foo and his woman.Then drank for a while.All the photos are over exposed(stupid bladdy cellphone cameras).But if you wanna see them,go onto jnforums....its there somewhere...

Sunday.well ja.That was just me lying on the couch....

I must be emo

2006-09-04T07:32:00.000+02:00

Thanks ferdi and basti for letting me know about this......

Friday and the weekend to follow

2006-09-01T15:33:00.000+02:00

So ive made it through what must be the longest friday ever.

It all started at around 2:30 this morning.Last night when i was going home,The flu hit me badly.Went to bed early,but from 2ish,i kept waking up.This morning i was in the office at about 6:05.Bit earlier than normal.

Since then the whole day has just dragged on.Isnt it amazing how when you want the day to fly by it just refuses to.Its so bladdy irratating.The more i look at the clock the slower the day seems to go by.

So this weekend is going to be a blast.Jeremy from Urban Trash and the owner of JNForums is going to be up.He might even be at the beer festival that i mentioned yesterday.He's never seen The ferdinova.So i reckon there just might be alot of hugging going on.Esp if ferdi has a few beers in him.

Gregs also going to be gone for the weekend.Ive got the whole house to myself no greg moaning at me for not wearing a shirt.or forgetting to flush.Heaven!

So ja make it a good one.Cheers ladies and gents

Spring Day!

2006-09-01T12:39:00.000+02:00

Whooo Hoooo!! It is Spring Day today! The sun is shining brightly, there is no hint of a rain cloud in the vicinity and everyone that I have come into contact with today, seems to be in a good mood.
Except me, I am a bit irritated today.
You see, I have a huge problem when days like these are turned into massive commercial and retail ka-ching events.
Many companies around South Africa seem to be celebrating Spring Day in some way. A braai, picnics, drinks after work, petty cash being handed over to purchase oodles of flowers for the office and female staff.
Awesome, I wish that my company would also acknowledge the arrival of Spring in some sort of festive celebration, but there is a strike on, in our industry, and lucky for us, we are reaping the benefits, so no party for us (right now!).
But back to me bitching about the money-spinner that Spring has become.
This morning, my boss had the audacity to ask me what I had bought him for Spring. Huh? Wtf? I smiled sweetly at him and told him that his Harley Davidson was parked outside. After all, it is the thought that counts, is it not?
I mean, is it not enough that we have to buy birthday presents, anniversary presents, wedding gifts, mother & fathers day presents, farewell presents, housewarming gifts, Valentines Day gifts, Christmas gifts, Bosses Day, Secretaries Day etc. etc. throughout the year?
Now we have to exchange gifts to celebrate Spring day? And we all know what vultures those damn flower shops are, do we not? Look at how those sharks respond to Valentines Day, R50.00 and up for one blooming Rose on the day, and only if you’ve pre-ordered the bloody roses weeks in advance. In the event that you call them on the said Valentines Day and request a dozen Red Roses - price no object, they will laugh, hysterically at you, and tell you to sod off, as they are completely sold out. Can you imagine what they will be like when the whole Spring Day-flowers-required fad takes flight? Good lawd!
So, I am wondering what the next money-making gimmick Day is going to be? Summer Day, Winter Day, Retrenchment Day? Herpes Day?
But anyway, enough bitching from me.
To all our readers, HAPPY SPRING DAY!! And do not get suckered into the brainwashing of others and buy presents, unless of course it means that you are going to get lucky or benefit in some or other way, then by all means, max your cards out!

Today,is thursday

2006-08-31T14:08:00.000+02:00

so thursday has hit us.Eventually.This weeks taken way to long, and ive been way to busy.Quite alot has gone on since i flew back from CT.I cant really tell you what though.cause i was sworn to secrecy when ferdi was caught cooking.

Anywhoo.I see that Tink has been recieving more replies to her blogs than me.Whats up with that kak people.Come on.Even if its a simple.Voetsek we dont want to read youre kak.A reply is a reply.Really.Its only 17minutes out of youre day.

So this weekends the beerfest.Yes thats right.Last year i met my bestest of buddies.Basti. He is so cool.The really cool part is we all drink on the church grounds.Ive never seen stuff like that happen before.Its really scary.

The beer fest is at a german church somewhere near A big shopping centre in a place near a macdonalds.Email carol if you need more specific directions.But all men should be able to find it.Quite easily.

So ja.Expect photos on monday.But till then,we have that kak little day called Friday....

Spring Fever

In honour of Spring, which is tomorrow ...

The Battle of the Sexes (Part I)

2006-08-30T15:33:00.000+02:00

On Monday night, whilst channel surfing, I found Fear Factor (USA) on E-TV, some special edition with all the previous winners of the season competing against each other. The guys were competing against each other in the first round and naturally, the girls were competing against the girls.

One of the guys was adamant that - Whoever wins man, let it be a guy, we can not let a woman win, man. This is Fear Factor, man.
I looked at the TV in horrific disgust. His use of the word man was just so scary, but then I giggled away merrily, as the pig lost his challenge and slunked off, telling the other guys to - Beat the women. Tosser.

I thought to myself, why not have an Ultimate Female Fear Factor Champion? I mean, yes, it would be a humongous kick in the teeth to the male contestants, and their egos would need years of therapy to heal, but so what?

Women are not as physically dominant as what men are and our body muscle and make up is not on the same level either. Which means that if a female did win, she not only has to compete as well as a man, but also better what the men have done.
Mentally, woman are easily grossed out when it comes to disgusting food challenges, but then again, so are the men! The last time I watched, some guy was a heave away from chucking up the pig anus that he was busy munching through!

Watching this programme has made me think about why it is that men and woman seem to feel the need to compete against each other. On JNF, we have the females who are the Powerpuffs and the males, who are the Navy. We generally indulge in light banter and making fun of each other (in a humorous manner). Why do we do this?
Sooner or later, someone is gonna get pissed off.
Sooner or later, the jokes are gonna get stale and unfunny.
Sooner or later, something or someone is gonna break and just has.

Men vs. Women.

Girl vs. Boy

Dude vs. Chick

It is never gonna end, is it?

Devhook .046

2006-08-30T10:52:00.000+02:00

So this morning i got to work,expecting to have a nice quiet day.How wrong could i be

This morning i got in and saw that one of the new games im downloading was done.So I thought,what the hell.Let me try it.But the problem is,Its to big for my psp's memory stick.Its only about 60mb to big though...

This led me to go searching for Devhook 0.46,its one above the program im currently using,But it has a feature where i can play games off my pc's hard drive.Effectively making a 80 odd gig hard drive,for my psp.Not a mobile one though.

So now im sitting at around 85% of the third download that im trying...Its starting to piss me off.ITS BLADDY SLOW.

seriously.Who has this much time.

Anyway.Tink should blog later.But ja.Till then.

HOW!?!?!

2006-08-29T13:48:00.000+02:00

how the hell did this guy figure that out?Its seriously cool.Ive watched it three or four times,but still cant figure it out.

Rob,i know youre clever,help a brother out

I Have Arrived!!

2006-08-29T11:39:00.000+02:00

Right, finally, I'm here.

It's taken me from 8am until now to finally sort myself out on this blog thing.

The truth of the matter is that in the end, I yelled like a school girl who broke a nail, Marbro came running and he ended up sorted out the huge mess up that I made in my attempt to sign up to the blog. This is an indication of my technological skills ... be warned.

So yeah, wish me luck ... I'm a blogging virgin, this is my first time ... I feel soo shy, be gentle on me, ok?

The mission that is getting a second writer

2006-08-29T10:07:00.000+02:00

So this morning at around 8 ish I invited Tink (The real tink) to start writing on my blog,Well i sent the invite...

She still isnt on..hmmmm.Is it cause she is a woman?Is it cause karma has something against her?Or is it me?

Well from my side everything seems fine.Thats why i prefer doing things.I know whats wrong,Why its not working and so on.Plus i can shift the blame on someone else then.

Anywhoo.She should be posting soon.Hopefully...

New writer on the Real marbro

2006-08-28T17:06:00.000+02:00

Why im glad im not a movie

2006-08-21T07:45:00.000+02:00

I reckon im a movie expert. Cause i must have watched at least a billion of them.
There are many similartiy's in all those movies.And today,Im going to talk about some of those.

In almost all teen movies,The woman are even worse than in real life.Sometimes the little old lass would actually go and decide to give up her virginity,But..She doesnt tell the guy.She rather goes on to tell all her friends and half the school.So when the special night actually arrives,the guy isnt interested,Well he is,but he is just sick of being turned down night after night.

In almost all action movies, The good guy nearly dies.At least once,In 24,(i know its a series) Jack Bauer goes and dies twice.HOW DO YOU DO THAT?Take rambo,he gets shot at,many many times,He takes on the bladdy pakistani army and wins.Thats just not something i can do.

In most romantic movies, there is the whole im pissed off with him,and hes pissed off with her thing.Why!oh for the love of the audience,Bonk and get it over with.Its really the only reason people go watch that kak.

In most horror movies, the poor innocent virgin(thats a lie btw) always runs upstairs.She never runs out the front door.Even though its right there.Sometimes they even run into the house to get out.WHAT THE HELL!come on directors and script writers.Make up some new stuff.

In most sci fi movies, there is an alien on board, well some sort of creature anyways.I dont believe in aliens...

so ja.short but im off to work now..Hope you read it all..im quizzing you soon!

So friday hit me

2006-08-18T16:40:00.000+02:00
