Darwin's Mistake

Three monkeys sat on a coconut tree,

Discussing things as they're said to be;

Said one to the others "Now listen, you two

There's a certain rumour that can't be true

That man descended from our noble race:

The very idea is a big disgrace.

No monkey ever deserted his wife

Staved her babies and ruined her life;

And you've never known a mother-monk

To leave her babies with others to bunk,

Or pass them on from one to another

Till they scarcely know who was their mother;

And another thing you'll never see

A monk building a fence around a coconut tree

And let the coconuts go to waste

Forbidding all other monks to taste;

Why, if I'd put a fence round the tree

Starvation would force you to steal from me;

Here's another think a monk won't do

Go out at night and get on the stew

Or use a gun or club or knife

To take some other monkey's life.

Yes, man DESCENDED - with all his fuss,

But, brothers, he didn't descend from US!"

Flora Centre Stupidity

Saw something really daft at Flora Shopping Centre. 

They have revamped the shopping centre which was badly needed BUT when they installed the new escalators the architects decided to put two steps up to the base of the escalator. 


Now I wonder what the point of those two steps are if the escalator is there to make your life easier, especially for older people. 


It would make more sense to have a short ramp approaching the base of the escalator OR maybe they should just have done their measurements properly and installed the escalator correctly.

I mean if you are going to spend millions on an upgrade surely spending an extra R100 000 on proper escalators would be worth it.

‘Twas the night before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all through Nkandla
The lights were ablaze
To the sound of “Amandla!”
While the rest of the nation
Was shedding its load
The power was strong
In this humble abode
Whose brilliant gleam
Could be viewed from in space
By a man in a sleigh
With a grin on his face
As he drove through the stars
In his dazzling red suit
He said “I’m coming to get you
To pay back the loot”
But the head of the house told him
Don’t be a fool
I spent it on building
This flaming big pool
So come sit beside me
And let’s get all boozy
In the Peace and Goodwill
Of my fire jacuzzi
I’ll raise up my glass
And say, “Ja, Noël Fine”
But I won’t pay the money
And I’ll never resign
But look to the lights
That shine over yonder
And let’s bring a halt to the
Blitzen and Donder
For now is the time to
Cease all your fighting
And shuttup complaining
That you haven’t got lighting
Joy to the world
Let the Angels sing Hark!
Enjoy your cold turkey
That you eat in the dark
Forget all the chaos
Ignore all the scandals
Let’s gather as one
By the light of our candles
And dwell on the things
That deserve celebration
As we dream of a brighter
More powerful nation

Quadriplegic with a death wish

I wish this woman in her wheelchair would ride on the pavement where there are ramps. But no she insists on riding down the middle of the road.  She may wish to be killed but I really wish she would do it somewhere else and not on the roads of Linden.

The superintendents house at the Hillbrow hospital

I used to live over the road from this house.  Over the years I have watched the neglect and disintegration of it.  This picture was taken on 16/12/2014.

So much for our wonderful ANC government.
