KEEP THE CHOCOLATE BISCUITS WIRED TO A CAR ALARM......
(begun Sunday at 5.05am)
The Wireless song was having a Sunday morning lie-in today *grins.... Instead, I was treated to a very vocal cricket duet from the direction of Bali's valley-facing deck...*keels over laughing...
I finished walking and sat quietly on the dark verandah appreciating the many sounds of nature..*winks at Bali...
The fruit bat wheeled and turned repeatedly in the moonlight...
My Master eventually grew impatient at my silence and thumped irritably into the TV socket...*grins... The crickets finally fell silent, leaving only the chorus of canaries down by Kasim's to fill the quiet valley....
For a brief moment it was as if I was in a classy restaurant and the musicians (crickets) had singled me out for attention.... the only sobering thought being that I was the main course...*cackles..
The Controller deteminedly tries to inject his brand of peurile humour into a situation now sunk to sewage line levels....*applauds....
As much as I try and repeatedly fail, to drag him into the Camp of the Good, does he stubbornly cling to the only thing he is familiar with - bullying corruption.... *shrugs..
The Courageous Pair have been again nominated for their brilliant performances in the blockbuster 'Injured Innocence' and stand head and shoulders above any other possible contenders for the Oscar...*beams...
That the entire process is clearly rigged does not in any way deter their avid supporters (my own kin included), and their blind and dogged loyalty is admirable....*chuckles...
Alas - my own humble entry in the Art movie category - 'Do You Want To Know A Secret?' received no support at all, apart from a sound drubbing from several savage critics...*laughing... Roll on next year?
Later:
Herr Doktor Sutcliffe sounds more like some rabid Dictator of a country on the skids, each day...
I caught the tail end of his official denials on SAFM this morning.... The loss of the Blue Flag status wasn't his fault and the Press made things up?
They should've done more research before signing up with the Blue Flag organisation? That they should've done more research period, is the only truth he spoke...*cackles...
There must be literally hundreds of press releases where he and his colleagues have crowed over having Blue Flag status, and yet now he is a blur as he back-pedals...*keels over laughing....
My guess is that he feels the water lapping at his well-fed ankles and has given up on any pretence of honesty and integrity.... It's every rat for himself and may the best liar win.....
I nipped out to get the Sunday papers and took the time to snap just some of the explosion of new manholes infesting our pavements and verges so recently....*beams..
My clear favourite would have to be the one opposite Missus Kazee's house on the Park verge here....
While supposedly giving easy access to the latest Telkom aka Neotel cables, it obviously also gives access to the water and sewage lines....*laughs...
Judging from the large piles of sand and gravel a few yards further down, more shifty work can be expected imminently....*grins..
And here you can see clearly why this huge tree had to go at the Harris/Garbutt road junction..
Riddled with white ants? Studying the cut logs here it would appear that it had a fair amount of termite infestation, but certainly not enough to label it a risk and hack it down...*shrugs...
The real reason for it's death would have to be the new manhole built on the pavement alongside the corpse of the tree....*grins...
I see in today's Tribune that Mr. Dan Naidoo, CEO of Commerical Waste Services, is still keen to go head-to-head with Sutcliffe (as previously blogged).
May I suggest that Mr. Naidoo get investigators to scout the perimeters of the Durban Harbour, and to take pictures of any Telkom/Muni activities involving cable laying...(always assuming that he doesn't have this information already)...
The ambiguous 'pluggage by resinous material' and the lack of mention of the guilty company's name, adds a delightfully threatening air of mystery to the proceedings...
One hopes that if Mr. Naidoo is genuinely aware of the cables causing havoc as they are crammed into sewer and water lines city-wide, he holds out for a sum that will make the pompous Sutcliffe's eyes water....
My favourite quote from the page 5 article has to be Herr Doktors own......
"We are going to clean up the city of businesses that think they can abuse the environment at great cost to the city"...
IMO, it will take him some time to top that remark for it's sheer hypocrisy and blatant lies....*pukes...
Later:
I woke from a heavy nap at 11.00am to be told by the GameWrecker that I had just missed a chopper circling the valley twice and then leaving...
Though it was pointless asking him which chopper, my bet would have to be AirWing....*beams..
The Big Brother Project's team of Spin Doctors would have drawn up a lengthy list of distractions to steer the Public's attention neatly away from what is taking place under their very noses...
Ranging from the utterly ludicrous streetname changes, to the not-so-funny powercuts, and now to the Nuclear Power Stations... Will they run out of these carefully dramatised scenarios long before the deadline is met, and the country fully wired to the Corrupt in Government?
Never a dull moment here in sunny South Africa...*cackles...
What happens in Zimbabwe will understandably affect our country hugely, but I can't help thinking how delighted the Crooked must be at the timing of the Zim elections...
a Major distraction to the Press, who might otherwise focus on such mundane matters as all the fishermen now being banned from working in the Durban Harbour...*falls over laughing...
If the fishy smell emanating from this latest questionable edict fails to put bloodhounds on the trail of Telkom and Selebi's collaborative masterpiece, it will be a sad day for sleuthing...*chokes..
How many new manhole covers now decorate the wharves and piers surrounding the harbour? How difficult can it be to find them? Though the trend is now for the ubiquitous unmarked white 4 x 4 and a good many vehicles involved, to have missing Registration plates....there will nonethless be Telkom bakkies and Muni vehicles in the area in numbers...
They are the cause of the sewage in the Harbour and in the sea, and the reason that Sutcliffe wishes to ban the fishermen...*shrugs...
Imagine if old Harry Pather called his mate at the Times to say he'd seen a crew of divers off Bayhead working on a huge enterprise involving cabling? A leak that could spell disaster for the secrecy surrounding the Big Brother Project so.....no more fishing in the Bay dudes!
Peace from the beautiful valley here in the Zone...
