@da wanqsta: Sometimes I think our country is sick...My ambition is to sit on the board of one of these big companies...through some fong kong BEE deal a la Brett Kebble( and ANC Youth League sell-outs), pimp the system dry and live off the fat for a while. When I eventually get caught for all my shady deals I want to drive to prison in a luxury SUV and (and through my political connections) be isolated from common criminals and rapists by settling into a single cell with a tv and radio. That ain't too difficult..huh?
I use to think Capitalism was evil until I saw a bunch of Socialists sell their souls for Hugo Boss suits and Porsche Cayennes' while still claiming that capitalism an evil system...makes you think.

@ psychonymphe, I agree it is the best show. I can still watch Simpsons, but I don't crave it like I would crave some show like Dilbert. All the shows that are on that level fly over the heads of the masses, so then the people that need a higher level of entertainment(beyond the cuteness and good animation that makes the kids go "Ahhh!") gets pushed aside. TV caters for the masses, not for certain minority groups. So yeah. Speak of the devil, my daily dilbert just arrived.
Another comic strip I really enjoy is Calvin and Hobbes. Sometimes also satire, sometimes really deep and profound, sometimes just cute, but they never neglected the intellectual side. Maybe it was just my sentemental side that got attached to these 2 characters.

@francois: I got everything sorted out this morning but the bugger seemingly can't pick up any of the UHF channels...so it means, no MNET, eTV or SABC3...the coaxial cable connection in my apartment building is optimised for UHF reception so right now I'm getting grainy video through VHF. Some tinkering tonight should sort out the problem though. Wish me luck.
Jeez, I can't believe this... no-one said anything about JZ walking out of court a free man yesterday.
Where's all the guys with some political opinions...mario200(whatever it is) and Rhino8.
PFFT no comment... I might get locked up and branded as racist if i do comment!

@Rhino: Can you make an informed comment that is not laced with racism? C'mon bro, you can do...how hard can it be...just start off with..."I think Zuma deserves..."
I'll be at work until late this evening.

Right, so JZ's case has been withdrawn, since Msimang felt that the state wouldn't be able to secure a conviction. To my mind there are a limited number of ways to have a case settled. A case can be withdrawn, or the accused can be found guilty or not guilty. Once a guilty verdict has been handed down, the convict runs the risk of further investigation leading to further charges against him. Should a not guilty verdict be handed down, the former accused cannot subsequently be tried on the same charges. However, when a case has been withdrawn, as in JZ's case, it doesn't imply guilt or innocence. It means that the investigating officers now have ample time to conduct exhaustive investigations, before opting to either bring fresh charges against an accused, or to let the matter slide. What is puzzling is why Ngcuka would've said, way back when all the fuss started, that he felt the state had a prima facie case, now Msimang says otherwise... Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark...
JZ's supporters are apparently in such a state of bliss that it seems to have escaped their attention that he hasn't been exonorated, not in the slightest. He has been granted a reprieve, however long it may be, until such time that the Attorney-General makes a definite ruling based on submissions by the state. Who knows, this whole mess may yet take on new and heretofore unseen twists...

I am not racist, even tho i sometimes tend to make racist remarks.
Anyway, my (informed?) comment...
I believe JZ should be in jail, for the following.
1) Even tho found not guilty of rape, i believe he did have sexual intercourse with the lady, against her will!
2) He created the misconseption that after having sex, you only need to take a shower and you will not get aids,
point number 2 is the main reason, as i see that as mass murder. People look up to JZ, and believe everything he says, people whom alot of dont know any better. JZ said that a shower prevents aids, so now (this is far fetched) rapists will be more willing to rape as the chances of getting aids is null and void as they will only take a shower afterwards.
About the other charges, i can not say much, as that would be uninformed.
I know, this is all only in theory, but think about it....

So we have a little problem. The car we are using to go to Margate has found a new owner, the way cars seem to do that around here. So we are screwed. The car was Jim's sisters car. What makes it rather $h!t is that she is getting married tonight. How is that for a wedding day?
So what to do? I is not knowing, but that is okay. What to do this weekend?...

Francois, if you were a little closer to iBhayi you could've borrowed the spare car, an ancient Toyota Conqrust
We arrived in Haarlem this morning for a bit of a holiday. The house is exactly as we left it, more than a year ago! It's slightly the worse for wear after the devastating rains, but nothing that we couldn't fix within half an hour of arriving here. What's brilliant, as always, is the fact that it's so peaceful here. No cars zooming by, no doef-doef of taxi sound systems, just the sound of the stream flowing by. Heavenly!

It's Friday guys, who's first to have a beer?
@da krypsta: Are you enjoying a chop over the coals later or are still taking in the beauty of the place?
