@da wanqsta: I'm too tired to go anywhere this evening, besides I'm working tommorow.
We're not big on presents for birthdays but would've liked a black W900i if given the option.

We finally found a property that we really dig and within our price range,in London.
Initially we were thinking of buying in neighbouring county Essex,but 2 things have prompted us to buy in the expensive Queen's capital:
1. The Olympics in 2012 is gonna have some impact on house prices in east London.Not yet,but from about 2 years from now,London's real estate prices are more than likely going to climb that much quicker than the already-healthy rate at the moment.
The property we like is in Upton Park,home of West Ham Utd and right next to Stratford,which is to be the hub of the Olympics. We might thus sell a year or so before the Olympics,then hopefully buy a really nice place in some coastal village and invest the rest.
2. As the better half and I are doing quite well in our current work places, it would make sense from a professional development point of view to stay in our current local jobs for a few more years at least,although I'll be only too happy to move further away from this busy rat-race.
Right then,it's off to the solicitors and mortgage advisors tomorrow...the start of savings being seriously depleted,but of course I'm focussing on long-term prospects.

@Amawanqa Well done buddy :-) Last friday afternoon the term 'Africa Time' got a new meaning for me when together with my buddy (Cst. Tandiwe Yedwa) gave a presentation (about 1hour) to our local policing community forum (crime related). Because, the by now usual, late arrivals of the 'elite' local community representatives we started about 10 minutes late. Little I new - during the weekend I heard from a few members of the public, the presentation was racist ! I thought well I guess one can see it that way (most of the cases mentioned/presented/discussed where either blacks stealing from whites or assaulting each other.Only one was about a drunk white youth insulting a black, self employed car-parking 'guard' 2'o clock in the morning). I felt sad about it all. I was merely presenting what happened. Then Cst Yedwa come and said - no Inspector you've got it a bit 'wrong' there. The non white community is complaining because the presentation was hold for only a white audience. - Huh -

@da wanqsta: Congrats on the new crib. So I've got a place to call home whenever I'm in London?
@mario2002: That story is funny, just goes to show how, as South Africans, we need to do a lot work in understanding each other. People, whether they black or white, need to be pro-active when it comes to civic affairs.
@786KBR: Thanks mate. The day went by quietly...I just recently broke up with my girlfriend of just over one year so I didn't feel like celebrating- even my birthday.

Happy belated birthday boeta. Sorry to hear about you and the gf, it happens, boet... Life goes on... On a lighter note, i've been asked to help admin a wapsite, so it's been keeping me incredibly busy. In addition there are the piles of admin work related to work, seeing that we've lost two colleagues and the work-load has been redistributed, not too equally though :-)

@ da brixsta,
My door is open if/ whenever you're in town.
It ain't quite the calibre of any MTV-style cribs, (yet...LOL!),but it's a decent 'Ekhaya in England'...and walking distance to the nearest 'tube.'
@ The Kryptik One,
Nice to have you around these parts again, swaer!
Always appreciate your contributions and pearls of wisdom in this thread-realm.
Were the 2 colleagues lost to redeployment and will they be replaced,or are the new workloads and additional responsibilities of a more permanent nature?How many kids in the class?
@ mario,
Thanks.
