If you have had polices made paid up (especially retirement annuity policies) in the past 15 years, these policies are earning negative penalty interest in the vehicles that they are in, with very little room for growth.   A section 14 transfer allows you to transfer these monies, at no cost (commission, fees etc) into a vehicle that would o ...

Hi guys... ...

  "In 100 - 150 words tell us more about yourself,"reads a job application form and I am tempted to put down: quiet, prefer to work alone, love sleeping in and hate rigid environments. My thoughts are stopped by the reality that the the world is not too welcoming of 'unique' individuals and quickly edit my initial response to friendly, can wor ...

Waking up this morning, I felt my heart beating harder then a thunderstorm of rain falling strongly against a tin roof. My mind quickly raced back to a memory from my dream state where I saw myself seated at the backseat of a small red car speeding down an unfamiliar road with no one seated behind the steering wheel. Despite this observation I wa ...

Snow in SA! Can you believe it! ...

The art of keeping a relationship healthy is something not many of us acquire. The debate of what to say, when  to say it, how will it make the other person feel. This is something which has perplexed mankind and womankind since the dawn of time.... ...

On CNN today there was a news segment about "Jumbo Squid swarming off California coast"... ...

Now I know its a really bad thing for one women to complain about another, but after this mornings spectacle I just had to!... ...

  'n Gewapende roof het omstreeks 11:05  Maandag 2 Julie in Wierdepark by 'n klein seepwinkeltjie plaas gevind.   Ek was besig om by Gecko Computors in Wierdapark in te loer toe ons 'n verskriklikke geskree hoor.  My eerste gedagte was dat iemand dalk dood is.  Die eienaar, Mnr Jaco Neveling, het saam met my  ...

Time's up, and my pet spammer hasn't had a thing to say for himself. Now I just need to decide whether I want to prod him again, or get down and dirty with the legal side of it. ...

My crusade is limited to local spam because, well, I can actually do something about it. But if you want to change the rest of the world too there is one easy way to go. ...

I got a nice (but very little) note from Ferdie, the new spammer in my life. ...

Ferdie turns out to be even dimmer than I thought. Not only is he an ISP who doesn't know the law, he's a spammer who doesn't understand the difference between a newsgroup and commercial e-mail. ...

Just when things got dire, another champion of local spam emerges. Maybe this one won't take the ECT Act and vengeance will be mine. ...

Ok so I've been told I'm ready for this - go gently with her ...

hi anyone knows where I can find a good second hand PS3 ...

The latest debacle in SA is the issue of the 'Rastafarian' boy who was suspended because he did not cut his hair. The argument rages as to where we draw the line between authoriatarian schooling vs freedom of expression. In Durban a schoolboy was suspended because he dyed his hair from blonde to black. Recently a schoolgirl and family took the educ ...

I recently bought a packet of Smarties and found that they were sold a year over expiration date .I contacted Unilever and they gladly agreed to replace the spoilt good with a voucher. This morning I went to Checkers to redeem the voucher and the idiot at the counter who has peas for brains asked me to go and claim the good at the post office. and ...

Why is it that English South Africans seem so characterless. Blacks, Coloureds, Afrikaners, Indians all have their accents, their slang, their 'national' character, eg van der Merwe. But us English? (Ja, I'm one of them), we've got nothing! Advertisements are the first place a culture's national character is exposed. Don't recall anything which par ...

Ever considered that evolution theorists work to a seven day week? Makes you think doesn't it.... ...

Dominating the news in the last two weeks has been the public servants strike. Do we support it, don't we support it? All depends on your point of view. And the two parties seem so far apart. Meanwhile schooling is being disrupted, hospitals aren't accepting patients, even sending them home. So what prompted this? I guess in the upper echelons of b ...

Dear Internet,   I hate you.   Because of you I spend endless hours in the depth of night scheming who to put in my Super 14 Dream Team. Because of you I can’t sleep, particularly in the days leading up to the weekend’s fixtures. Because of you I know everything there is to know about every player, from the obscurest reserve wing to ...

The Devolution of Man “When Men Were Men & Pansies Were Still Flowers” Technology, Manliness and the Midmar Mile   It was 1997 when I learnt that Man was a shadow of his past glory. He was an empty shell, a counterfeit copy of all that was once great, and a synthetic alternative to traditional ruggedness. Well, that’s what I was told. ...

Right, let me get started then!  I have blogged many times but most blogging sites seem a little less complicated than this one.  So this one is suddenly very interesting and unmundane  (If this is a blogging site!?!?!?).  There seems to be a lot of articles and posts about a million and one different things.  I am not ...
