THE EMPTY CORNER...

(begun Monday 7th December at 10.00am)

I'm late, said the White Rabbit.... nonetheless...

Half hidden behind the gumtrees, he took off his green T-shirt to reveal a red one underneath. A blue knit beanie with a yellow badge in front and grubby looking blue pants completed the picture... Are those dreads tucked into his cap as he hangs a third T on a branch? He saw me watching him and promptly lay flat on the ground. Finally he pulled the third T shirt over the red one. This one was white.... You're getting the picture here? *laughing...

The power finally went off at about 8.55am, a little later than was promised. The humidity is a real killer today, and I'm prone on the bed out on the verandah watching the idiot across the way.

LATER:

I'd gone in and phoned the Hugo Road Activist and pretty much made the guy over under the gumtrees his problem. He'd suggested at first that I call Sydenham SAPS but I regretfully declined...*winks.. Anyways, despite that Dodge City use that side of the horse-yard to run some of their theatrical productions, I guess that Mayville SAPS are more likely to respond to the Principal's call... I ended the call in time to see the Wardrobe Artist gather up his bags and wander slowly off behind the trees, by which time he'd managed to change into a pair of white trousers to match his T. *he must be sweating like a bull with all that effort...

LATER at 11.00am...

The red/maroon people carrier has just cruised silently in behind the trees across the way..*yawns... Is it accessing the horse-yard from Hugo Road? *interested... It's supposed to be blocked off up that end, but I guess with care the odd 4 x 4 can make it through...

LATER at 1.45pm

I've seen no sign of any droogs up the streetlights on our circuit. Round the corner maybe? Or is this just a stealthy load-shedding exercise, and one of many more to come, as the added power needed for all the additional SE's begins to mount? Is our Controller making the most of the break, or does he sit feverishly adding camera and streetlights coded recognition numbers to his laptop files?
It'll be a cold day in hell before your average citizen can request records from a specific camera to aid them in a legal situation. The already trite 'we don't have the manpower to monitor the cameras' will be the song de jeur....

LATER at 2.20pm

To my delight, Superintendent Mngomezulu just called .. He really is a Good Cop and he straightened out an error I've persistently been blogging... All this time I've thought the Sexual Harrassment charges brought against der Kommissar had made it to the High Court, and have blogged accordingly.. Only to be told by Augustine now, that the entire matter has been kept Internal, and is being dealt with by the Provincial Office here in KZN...
What a blot, as they say... Way too much room for manipulation and cover-ups out of the Public eye.... *snorts...
The Super says a decision is supposed to be reached on the case this Thursday. (tomorrow).. I'm not even going to bother opening bets, as it's a given the Pig will walk... *shrugs... Words I'd happily eat, given the opportunity....*laughing...
Why was our local Press photographer called as witness for the defence today? The dude works for Tweedledumb's PRO machine, the Weekly Gazette..
Do you remember when I predicted that the carefully posed pictures of the Abuser and his Administration Clerk would be used in his defence? *cackles... My bet would be that young Zaine will be said to have taken the pictures, (at least for the purposes of this trial) and will testify that they are the real deal, in an effort to demonstrate that the Serial Sexual Offender is not a perverted bully, but a normal lusty, red-blooded male...*screams with helpless laughter....

Quite frankly these charges must be a stroll in the park for Att. Anand Nepaul, and I bloody well hope he's charging an arm and a leg, no matter who's footing the bill... *teeth...

Once I'd finished chatting to Augustine I called our CPF Comms. Officer to update him.. I only got as far as mentioning the photographer's name before the line was summarily dropped.. *shrieks with mirth.... He called me straight back and said his phone had switched itself off...*Haibo! I suggested he diarise January 27th as that's the date that One-Eyed Jack is due to appear in court to explain why he tried to draw his Service Pistol with the Safety off and attack Supt. Mngomezulu...

If I'm supposed to be embarrassed at muddling the three separate charges laid against the Abuser, I find I'm not in the least.... I'm just grateful to the Super for straightening me out...
So, on the 27th January 2010, Tweedledumb is supposed to appear on a charge of attempted murder laid against him by Supt. Augustine Mngomezulu....
There's always the possibility the old stalling technique will be employed, but on the other hand, Att. Nepaul won't be inclined to play games, so I suggest you diarise the date and be there or be square...*grins..

Is one of the reasons for the power shutdown today simply so as el Monstro can make more adjustments to his system? *curious.. I swear and declare that the stealthy sounds of shiftyness are afoot not far from the window where I sit and write...*blinks... I also hear a tree being steadily hacked at..... Will these changes enchance my Lord foul's means of attack? Does a bear shit in the woods?

While I certainly can't be saved, and I guess right now the last thing Jannie would consider was getting in my corner, albeit for show, there's always hope.. Hope that someone will finally make sense of it all and scream blue bloody murder at the Human Rights violations taking place countrywide...

I've not forgotten the five young Abahlali members still locked up without trial in the monitored cell at Dodge city, and I feel old and useless.... *sighs....
However easily impressed I am by some of the Whisperer's initiatives since Schabir's release, this nasty little game featuring Sbu Zidoke and Tweedledumb isn't one of them...
Did I bitch when my Chair helped set the Messiah free? I did not. I genuinely thought that the ShaikBoyz might give our President some good advice... Another dumb assumption from this Cretin of note... *spits at itself...

Do you shower for half an hour after dealing with the likes of Barnabas? Or does he fit in comfortably with the rest of your inner circle Schabir? The Agliotties and Koobairs and all the other low-lifes you've seen fit to grant so much power to? Jeez, I'm really grossed out right now...*stomps off in a huff...

Tuesday 8th December at 3.50am..

The power was restored at 3.30pm... I think twas after 4.30pm when I finally turned the telly back on to find the first of the changes made during the power cut, as the horrendously loud snowing noise kicked in at Switch-on....
That particular bit of nastiness hasn't been happening for some weeks now, but was reinstated yesterday. At 4.45pm the screen was slammed off into blackness and I said nothing but went on about my business... Tis after all the cries of dismay at this type of peurile bullying that have always fed my poor Controller's sick obsession..*shrugs.. I no longer give him the satisfaction, and instead I grin and go do something else....
The GW restarted the TV much later, and despite the snowing on startup, it ran without any further problems for the evening....

I'd accepted bwana's kind reply to my query, when he'd suggested I'd mistyped the mybb addie into the search bar.. He'd said the childish result I'd been given was the effort made by cyper-squatters..*grins... But no, I hadn't made a typo and it was just further proof of my Network Admin's desperate attempts to regain some status, however stupid it was....

I was relieved to see the Strategist had wisely returned to the bblounge and made a second post, though the damage has been done.... From Colin Balliram's return to his extreme behaviour, I could be forgiven for thinking Jannie has allowed my safety net to be removed in his irritation at current events... So be it... *shrugs...
The effort gone to by voda3g to deliberately discredit the Political Science Grad IMO, merely proves that he considers her to be a formidable foe...*cheers loudly.... No matter that she's forced to remain silent in her efforts to aid the Craigavon residents, for every word now uttered against her confirms my speculation, and I'm betting whether you like it or not, you have to agree....*beams..

It's nearly 4.30am as I write and the hadedas nearby set up their sudden raucous chorus as usual.. *waves to Bali.... I'd climbed into bed last night only to be met with a seriously cranked up version of the Wireless Song which caused me to laugh out loud and remind the pathetic Plonker that I OWN the sound, and I embrace it.... at which point His Lameness gave up and took it away....*blinks...
I wonder at Mo Shaik, I really do... I've come to believe that despite he's the best looking of the bunch, he's currently making a complete tit of himself... *grins... It's becoming more obvious by the day that his choice of *coughs* Agents, down this end, are designed to have the likes of the CIA and MI5 rolling in the aisles.... Has el Monstro considered that much as I'm the entertainment for IT intellectuals, so is he the focal point for the derisive hoots of mirth from the rest of the world's Intelligence Services? *peers at Bali... Just a thought hey?

What does Peter Williams, Surveillance Specialist Extraordinaire really think? Does he grind his teeth with frustration at having to continue working with One-eyed Jack and his Idiot Monkey? Does he tire of having to paste a companionably cheesy smile on his dial when dealing with Colin Balliram? Sure his mounting bank balance may make the effort less stressful, but my word, I'd kill to hear his private assessment of my would-be Special Agent Arsehole... *falls over laughing.. In closing, I'd remind la Petite Merde that he OWNS my home and it's contents... His repeated efforts at ensuring that I never forget this, show only his increasing insecurity and nothing else much at all... *belches....

It looks like it's going to be a fine day... Stay safe..
Peace..
