Packing away this soapbox...

and relocating some of the the postings back to Ramblings from a Blue Dot. The good, bad and ugly will be left here as a reminder to never give up on freedom.

Well done!

I have recently registered on the SA Revenue Service's website to electronically file my tax return and was pleasantly surprised how fast it went... I had to change a few things on my profile today and as it was D-date for paper returns I thought the site may be slow or pretty inaccessible... what a breeze! FNB? are you listening? SARS your site is an example how a commercial/government website should work! You get my Weekly Star award...

The slime we call politicians

I am sick of politicians, especially the South African variety, we have a corrupt system that allows politicians to "walk over" to another party.
This makes for disgust and contempt by voters, we vote for Mr X and he wins his election just to cross over at a later stage when the other party winks at him.
This system brings out the slime in politicians who at best are the lowest of the low as far as I am concerned.
Anyone can be a politician and the pay and perks are astronomical, as far as I know we are the only country that gives medical benefits to politicians and pays them a pension when they get voted out!
It sucks...

This blog is not dead yet...

just in a state of hiatus as I enjoy life in general.
Politics and the bad stuff happening is being covered quite well enough by the media at present so I am taking a sabatical on harping on the negatives of life, I am much happier at present being my bright cheerful self on my other blogs. So pop over and be surrounded by The Luurve...

Cry me a river

Dear Mr Rasool, let me explain something to you;
1. You arrive at Heathrow from Malaysia, a muslim country known to harbour islamic nutcases, not from SA. That set off a warning bell.
2. You claim the following;
"Rasool attended the conference in London on his way back from the World Islamic Economic Forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He said his experience illustrated the sentiment, felt by many Islamic nations, that their money was welcome in many countries, but they were not."
Does the fact that not one islamic nation/organisation has organised a protest AGAINST fanatics of your faith to cut out their shit not been the reason why we distrust you?

So drop the victimisation thing and get off your butt and organise your fellow muslims to denounce terrorism and 17'th century practices and move into the 21'st century. Then, and only then you may be welcome...

D Day

We shall remember them.

1944 - World War II: Battle of Normandy begins. D-Day, code named Operation Overlord, commences with the landing of 155,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy in France. The allied soldiers quickly break through the Atlantic Wall and push inland in the largest amphibious military operation in history.
On this day the Internet was also born...
1969 - The first Internet connection was created when network control protocol packets were sent from the data port of one IMP to another.
Both events were milestones in Freedom.
