Wow all this talk of prison takes me back 10 years.The closes ive fortunitely come is a holding cell in a courthouse in Wynberg.What goes on just in the holding cells is truly spine chilling.I luckily only got a R50 fine that day for possession of drugs.Thank you God Buddha Krishna lol That experience made me think twice about everything i did afterwards.Scary world that.

I'm sure an experience like that would indeed make most of us think twice.

The court-room part was comical.Got in the podium and said to the judge,'Before we start Your Honour I would just like to say that what I saw down there,you'll never see this face again' ( I must have looked totally freaked out) and he says,'I bloody well hope not.So what do you think I should do with you? So the first thing that entered my head was,'Give me a R50 fine.' So he says,'OK,you've just slapped yourself with a R50 fine.Dismissed.' And everyone in the court-room burst out laughing and theres me standing in shock cause of what Ive just been through.My boss paid my fine and I got the hell out of there.

Hehehe Amandla Comrade Mario
For the first time under the post-94 government i'll be embarking upon industrial action as well... During previous years i was active in my participation, but as Mario correctly states, the Govt is sleeping on the job, and i truly think most of us have had enough. When one considers the fact that some very conservative unions like the Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwys Unie, Solidarity and CTPA are throwing in their weight it makes one realize just how gatvol people have grown with the State in general, and in my case, with Geraldine's foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric. The woman must think us all all illiterate and incapable of seeing the big picture.
Speaking of the St.Albans prison, i sometimes do counselling amongst the younger offenders who are housed there. We (a group of teachers, clergy, psychologists etc) were recently called in after gang fighting had erupted in the juvenile cells. It's awesome how much destructive these kids can be in their quest for weapons. The plumbing in the shower was completely dismantled, steel dinner plates bent in half, torn lengthways then sharpened to a razor edge, the rear end of toothbrushes sharpened, the sliver of metal which makes up the business end of a disposable razor embedded in a wooden peg and used to deadly effect, etc etc.
Anyway, on a lighter note, have you guys given any thought to participating in
Boba's project?
P.S. Wanqa, that looks a lot like a blank shot, boet...

Genoeg poefie-praat and back to the phone stuff.
The Symbian clam/flip-phone Nokia N76 has now reached independent UK dealers, although no sign of it with any of the networks yet.

@ Kryptik,
Maybe a few pointers for pedagogues emzansi...
This is the message that apparently a Secondary School staff in the Midlands voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine.
This is the actual answering machine message for the school.It came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and Parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.
The school and teachers are now being threatened with legal action by some parents who want their children's failing marks changed to passing marks -even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the term and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their various key stages.
The outgoing message:"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right member of staff, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
To make excuses for why your child did not do his/her work- Press 2
To complain about what we do - Press 3
To swear at staff members - Press 4
To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your Newsletter and several letters posted to you - Press 5
If you want us to bring up your child - Press 6
If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7
To request another teacher, for the third time this year -Press 8
To complain about bus transport - Press 9
To complain about school lunches - Press 0
LASTLY:* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behaviour, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort:Hang up and have a really wonderful day!
*If you want this in other languages, you must be in the wrong country. This is England.'
