SMILING AS THE SHIT GOES DOWN.....
(begun Thursday 9th October at 9.35pm....)
Little Willie is aghast at my suggestion that his behaviour has improved, and is using what little means left him to disprove my words... Today he has homed in on our PC petulantly....*grins..
Nothing appears to be loading properly when I use it. Despite this, I forged ahead and published Tosser as I just couldn't resist.... *cackles..
Course I paid for it in spades when I went over to mybb straight afterwards, and gradually the speed slowed to a snail's pace....
I tried the disconnect and reconnect, only to be given an Error 619 The Port for this connection has been closed....*shudders with delight at her Master's immense erm, power.... Finally a rumble of thunder had me packing it in to go watch a movie instead....*shrugs..
What can I tell you? No Country for Old Men is a movie worth seeing ja... Brilliant if gory...
While we were out shopping, Basil casually mentioned that he'd been walking through the valley one day last week heading to Sydenham, when he came across the Irrigation dude. He said the guy was running a beeeg hose from the road, out into the mysterious little copse below Khaled's at No. 2...*falls over laughing...
It's in the middle of nowhere ffs, and yet the guy told Basil they were beautifying the spot and planting special trees.... WTF? *shrieks....
Wayne von Bart? Parks & Gardens? Landscaping and Irrigation? You've gotta love these liars really....
The original monster of a runoff was engineered to go from below the Senior Boys Hostel to the floor of the valley... It turned out to be way too visible to nosey old women see here and my repeated blogs had them change the direction to this spot...*winks..
See now, I don't understand - if the Project is all legal and above board, why can't the Water Dept. just uncap the relevant hydrants in the desired areas and run the water out, as they did here in the Crescent that fateful day (those photos were neatly removed from my PC if you recall)...*grins..
Why on earth does it have to be done in such an underhand manner? Sure, there will be those that bitch and moan about the rising cost of water and the wastage... But once it is explained to the dissenters that the object is to be able to isolate individual rate payers systems and control them, while utilising the water and sewer lines for fibre cabling, the average home-owner would surely be thrilled rather than appalled? *chokes..
That when the fibre reaches the streetlight poles they must expect to endure random powercuts to ensure that the Muni droogs and minions of the Beast don't get fried....*nods...
In fairness, they do attempt to achieve to link up large areas at a go.... *shrugs..
The Crooked Town Clerk's diversive street name changes did the trick wonderfully and distracted the rising shouts of foul at the amount of lights that are left burning 24/7 for the wireless side of the Project...*applauds...
I continue to stumble about here in the dark, struggling to make sense of it all.. I don't think I'm doing too badly either... For a complete idiot that is? *cackles..
Basically, I have given you the outline for this Project overseen by Selebi's finest....*waves to der Kommissar in his dark corner...
The Head of Operations and Monitoring, at least here in the Zone, is the Sydenham Police Station... Why would it be different in your area? Doesn't that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling of security? Sure it does! *falls over cackling...
However much the silver-tongued vodacom3g (jannie se gat!) persuades you that I am a delusional trouble-maker, you know that I am not yet totally over the edge.... If it is said that the rest of the country will be run in a much more responsible manner than the Zone, I again say tis utter bollox..
Koobair co-ordinates druglords throughout the country ffs! Certainly not just the Zone. Gauteng will have it's Agliotties and Shaiks dealing with the Rotten Apples at the relevant stations and doubtless Rassool down in the Cape will be heavily invested as well...*shrugs...
How's the weird dude given space in today's Rising Sun? He seems to be some sort of shaman and is predicting earthquakes and destruction within the next week or so....*shakes it's head.... That makes it roughly about the same time the aliens are due to land on the 14th? *laughing...
The only disaster I can see happening soon, is the roads caving in and buildings collapsing, undermined by storm water runoffs with nowhere to go....
You think the potholes appearing everywhere are due to lack of road maintenance alone? *lawls... Man, those water pipes are now so crammed with cabling there are freak accidents just waiting to happen everywhere.....
Basil's Bradley bummed a ride up to Sydenham Heights with us this morning...
His hand and arm were dressed and bandaged to the elbow. Turns out he got 'cut' on Friday night..*gags...
Cheerful as a lark he was, and said he was going over to King George to get his meds...pfffttt. Just five minutes walk from where I dropped him at Sydenham Heights and as far as I know, a specialist TB Hospital...*sighs..
I figure it's more likely he was visiting a dispensary at the flats instead....
Basil has clearly adopted a philosophical attitude over the years, and on my query he said that they ask no questions and hear no lies....
The guy is an adult and his parents give him a roof over his head but they can't change him...*shrugs... He's OWNED by Earl Barnabas and the drug pushers here in the Zone and thats it.... G'nite...
Friday 10th Octoberat 5.00pm...
I drove back down Jan Smuts this morning and took the little servitude by the sub-station. Our friends Mr. Driveway had settled in to do a job up there ... Such a pleasant feel-good name for a company, but driveways have little to do with their current work. I cruised slowly down next to the bossman who was walking to his car... When he finally put his head to my window I politely said "Mr. Driveway se Voet!" before driving off....*cackles.. The air of guilt that hangs over all parties concerned is hilarious and it gave me a brief laugh to see him jump.
Such a beautiful day that I hauled out the mower and cut the grass, and then cleaned out the hadeda pool. The remaining tadpoles spawned by the yellow toad here seem fine, and have so far survived some fairly extreme weather...*beams... If only a quarter of them reach adulthood it will go a way to replacing the missing army in the valley below...
Saturday 11th October at 3.35am..
Sometime after 4.00pm yesterday a real bit of nastiness hit the well-behaved TV *glum... It went into snow mode only after it took a great whack of electrical interference... The GameWrecker then mentioned that it had happened earlier as well. Old habits mon Capitano?
Then at almost 8.00pm on the dot, came several dips to the lighting system as well.... Are we reverting to the goonda style behaviour? Watch this space..
Sophie finally got past the GameWrecker and out into the road yesterday as I arrived home... She managed to waddle fairly swiftly right up to Haffejees before I threw myself on top of her and ended her freedom...*grins...
A classic bit of footage for the cctv monitoring no doubt...*chokes..
On Monday we are due to hold our next CPF Meeting... Once again in a small, but telling bit of Game playing, it so happens the monthly CPF Motherbody Meeting on the Hill has been scheduled for the same evening.
Our leader, having now been elected as Chair of this CPF Motherbody, is obliged to attend...
Our Vice-Chair voiced her surprise at this bit of bad planning, in a mail... It remains to be seen how much uphill we are given when we try to reschedule future Motherbody Meetings...*winks... You didn't consider that worthy of a mention here? *sighs..
The methods sunk to, in an effort to render our CPF useless, are often subtle but effective...*waits...
Later
I was sitting up on the top step, when a single gunshot rang out at 4.30am over in Sydenham (no, not a firecracker) and a second later the muezzin's call floated across from the Spark's Road mosque... Bizarre!
Peace...
