HEART OF DARKNESS....

(begun Tuesday 19th May at 4.15pm....)

The droog has just told N that they'll be another ten minutes and then they'll turn the water back on... Halleluja! Have you followed what I've been trying to tell you at all? That this little stretch of water line (exactly covering the length of our electrical circuit from No. 33 down to Khaled at No. 2) has had more 'breaks' and work done to it over the last 4/5 years than your average street sees in a lifetime?

For every 'burst', presumably they fit a new collar and then days or even weeks later, another deliberate surge breaks through at a different point...*snorts... Shoddy workmanship? Nope, not at all... It's a calculated means of doing a very necessary runoff... Sure I would need hieroglyphics to grasp the niceties of the matter, but I just think there's simply not enough room in the existing waterlines for both fibre cabling and water....*shrugs...

So, the really heavy metal taste I've had in the past when drinking my two litres of tap water a day would be asbestos? *curious... I remember at one stage I took myself off to the dentist to see if I had sprung a leak in a filling, and the answer had been no, and he couldn't give a reason for it either....
There've been a couple of repeat incidents since then, but nothing that lasted as long...*shrugs..

Course the Crooked Town Clerk would throw his dirty hands in the air at my suggestion, but this is the same guy who couldn't get rid of the International Blue Flag System quickly enough, before getting McLeod Jnr. in to cook the books so to speak....*chortles... Kumar rabbited on last Sunday of the millions to be spent on replacing the water lines. Some of which were changed here in Sherwood not that many years back, when Councillor Pepler lived up in Cullingworth Road.

Our little stretch down this end wasn't deemed worthy at the time, and despite the now regular breaks, I've yet to see the new blue plastic pipes lying about. Check out Jan Hofmyer Avenue as it goes past Westville boys High and you'll see whereof I speak....*winks... Somebody with a bit of clout up that way?

My kid stopped in her tracks on our drive this morning, and asked why such a big part of the beautiful tree down in the valley is dying... I'd pointed it out to the GW a couple of weeks ago, but he'd not been interested....*sighs..
I can only remember bits of the thread at MyBB on the possible effects of cellphone tower emissions. Mostly I remember enjoying it tremendously, though I probably grasped very little at the time..

You recall I told you ages ago how Mike Oliver or a clone had been standing down in the pitch dark valley one night, next to his car with some sort of machine on his back seat? How I'd guessed he'd thought he could sneak in with an oscilloscope and get a true reading? To this day I've no idea whether it was a kind gesture or a pre-arranged checkup with my Monster, tsk, I mean Master....

But voda3g, I do remember you said that it was the panels on the tower that may prove dodgy, is that right? That trees and such too close to direct line of sight to the microwave panels may die? *cautious...
Yeah, I know we're just guinea-pigs with about the same amount of grey matter as the real deal but.....
The unfortunate tree is indeed in line of sight to so much and it is dying in the area facing der Bunker and Khaled's... Course there's the enormous new light that now bathes nearly the full length of the gumtrees across the way as well, though I'm not able to see its source.... Could be Cyril's new upper story or even Sabeera's property running that beauty... But that too could easily be the cause of the burnt out branches nearest us... Afraid? Me? You've got to be kidding! *roffels..

It's quite possible your contacts down this end will feed you their usual BS line if you were to query this latest allegation...*sighs...
Fact: we have an unqualified and unstable Dopehead in charge of the power circuit, including the huge Mothership.
Fact: A great deal of the time you have to accept his word on a good many things.
Fact: You and your Masters have more than just a streak of callousness....*grins..

Even I have at times been bored to tears by my own endless rhetoric.... the strange symptoms and the crushing pressure in my ears. The pockets of heat throughout our house and my dying hands... The nausea and changing frequencies to my hearing...
If your aerials or signal enhancers can do such damage to this strong indiginous tree, you can't deny that you are aware of exactly what it is that Colin Prakash Balliram sends our little home...

For some reason I get the feeling you are interested... No - not appalled or frankly even bothered by it...*grins... Just the vague curiosity of how long it will take these particular flies to die?

There must be plenty of others to study as the Information Theft Project trundles across the land.. Whether they will be able to give you such explicit details of their torture is doubtful... Let me put it to you clearly (as IF! haha...) Certainly we've had our TV resurrected and for the most part now it's left alone... My phone line has been worse (though only today Bali's Insurance Assessor told the GW he had tried on three separate occasions earlier to call our landline and gotten only a voice message. We've been home all morning and have never ordered Telkoms voice answering service...*winks...)
The computer? It seems to be an area you can't be bothered with, and I guess the Rotten Apples have the upper hand there?

Bali is now careful to keep the iBurst connection showing (for the most part) a steady 100% signal but despite this, if you were to sit and watch the travesty of a service as it lags and lurches while loading, I think you'd be blown away by his skillz....*winks...
No matter who it is that carefully, diplomatically and gently suggests that Knobhead desist in many of his criminal activities, there are always the occasions when his chommies pull in and the spliffs come out and anything goes....
We've paid heavily during his Happy Hours, more often than not when his Voice of Reason aka The Sweeper has scuttled off for a weekend away with the family leaving him to his own devices...*trembles...

I know that at last you believe me.. I know that you are aware of the details going back to our Mweb server days but that you chose to ignore the blatant injustice that took place and to sit instead on the sidelines and cheer....*sighs... I'm aware that I've done myself no favours along the way and that my unpleasant abrasive personality has aided my own alienation...*shrugs... I yam what I yam...

I think I've improved a great deal, though twas an enormous setback to hurt the family down at No. 4 so unwittingly. *applauds Baron Frankson, Druglord Heir in Waiting....
The fact that even you see that I'm nauseatingly Good up against the incorrigibly (sp) Wikked that is my unfortunate Controller, simply cuts no ice with you, right? *beams...

We have become no more than a scientific experiment have we not? Course, since the GW has now retired, he's taking a whole lot more of Bali's erm, attentions, though he is unlikely to ever be aware of them... Is it true that were it up to you, nothing at all would've been said to my Monitor other than 'your bonus is in the mail?' That your acts of kindness (if indeed it was you that saved our TV) were merely to further impress your fans on MyBB? You didn't aquire that glass palace by being soft....*grins..

As always I cling to the hope that I'm wrong, and that our PC too will suddenly be vermin free and our home as cold as it should be at this time of year... That the trees dying branches will move your boffins into reining in this Monster you've created....
I ask, but you know I've learned not to hold my breath Jannie... For I fear that beneath that helpful, amiable exterior beats a heart that is owned by the OldBoys Network and as such I'm viewed as little more than an amusing experiment...*waves....

It's now nearly 6.55pm and the Airwing chopper makes the first of what will probably be several passes... Dips + the Mothership active all day + the humungous water runoff = chopper to round it all off...*grins...
Zille told to report spying to SAPS? Yeah baby, RIGHT!! *chortles....

Peace...

CONTEMPT......

(begun Tuesday 19th May at 3.55am....)

The GameWrecker was sitting at the PC yesterday when he remarked that we'd acquired a new icon on the Desk Top since the tech had visited us last Friday. A Windows Authentification icon that said our Win XP Professional was invalid....*faints..
He was flummoxed, as he'd purchased WinXP Home legally through his office some years back and had certainly not changed to XP Professional... I called our ex-tech in Johannesburg who, although it was a long time back, agreed that it was highly unlikely he would have changed us to Professional due to our extreme tardism and besides, the licence was due to run out! *screams....

So I call the current tech who said he would come out sometime and check out the problem... At some point during his initial visit last week I remember clearly telling him that the GW doesn't do pirated versions of anything if he can help it, and I do find it very interesting that the tech hadn't said a word when he must surely have come across the unlicensed WIN XP Professional while working on our machine... but hey....*winks...

Are we now to be treated to these astonishing feats of magic i.e. the removal of Standard View in both our gmails accounts, which will then be hastily rectified just prior to the techs next visit? *curious..
Our PC is OWNED and it's my bet the Captain of Courage spends a great deal more time in it, than his job description calls for.... *shrugs... Was it my audible remark regarding the GW's dislike of running pirated programs that caused this sudden astonishing upgrade, only picked up three days later by the GW?

Does my Master still get the same level of perverted enjoyment as always, as he continues to manipulate such easy prey? *fascinated...

However cleverly the switch was made, tis just further proof of our Controller's inane behaviour...Bali is well aware of the GW's tendency to leave the PC switched on, despite that he generally remembers to disconnect the modem.... I would have to guess this still leaves it wide open to the Masterly One's attentions?

LATER 5.05am

I was admittedly totally unprepared for the surprising turnout at last night's CPF Meeting...*beams.. I care less which team he bats for, it was a pleasure to see the Captain's smiling face and the appearance of our long missing Ward Councillor was the cherry on the top! *waves to Aziz....
I'm guessing that several of the new faces popped in out of curiosity and won't return? *winks..

The Captain delivered his speech on the drug-related problems over at Sydenham Heights to a stoney-faced audience... Apparently SAPS have the situation in hand and though residents may continue reporting deals going down, they are to be careful not to rock the boat while SAPS wait to catch the Main Man....*collapses laughing...

I would venture to say that better results would be achieved by adopting the elderly members' suggestion to let the Community deal with the Drug pedlars....*grins... As it is, the residents have now been told they are to sit by and watch as their kids are sucked further into the world of drugs... The smiling Captain said that they may no longer use the methods preferred pre-1984 to nail criminals.... Not? I would argue that these methods are as much in use today as they ever were, but used rather more *coughs* judiciously...

Certainly never on the known Drug dealers at the three apartment blocks...*shrugs cynically....
Despite our Vice-Chair's empassioned endorsement of the Captains speech, I must suggest that her view of the situation would be vastly different were she to reside at Sydenham Heights herself..
Silence, and a depressing air of resigned scepticism followed the Captain's words.... *sighs...
It's the way of the world is it not? Barnabas will never give up his lucrative hold over the Zone, nor his cozy working relationship with Dodge City... By giving him and his colleagues such preference in the Information Theft Project, his powers are now upgraded to an astonishing degree...*standing ovation...

Not all the denials and excuses in the world would convince me that there is a genuine plan to take Earl Michael Barnabas down... Were he to choose to retire tomorrow, it would be HIS man that took over the reins...*looks at the Whisperer...

Barnabas is a hugely useful tool is he not? As is the Untouchable Herr Direktor and his Lackey? *grins.. My doubtless carefully edited words here will continue to be treated with the contempt they probably deserve as I thrash about blindly in my dying throes....*chokes... STFU and take it silently, as the Fowl King pulls the rug further and further from under my feet, until I fall headlong into the abyss and am silenced for good? *cackles..

I'm certainly not oblivious to the fact that right now I'm an inch off total insanity...*screams... Despite the constant and repetitive "you get what you deserve", "dis jou verdiende loon" and "you only have yourself to blame" that never leave me - do I regret taking on the Big Boys? I told you before, it beats the heck out of knitting jumpers for Somalian refugees...*grins...

LATER at 10.25am..

Read just now in Monday's Daily News of 18th May on page 3 - In response to Zilles accusations of a spy network in place to discredit her.... Garth Strachan of the ANC replies: "She's been reading too many spy novels. Setting up a network to do spying and information-gathering would be illegal and she should report any illegal activities to the police".... *hysterical laughter...

Admit it. You're as guilty as good old Garth trotting out the dismissive spy novels crap! *grins.. Missus Zille has already used the Information Theft Project for her own ends at some point. Is this why she's being so coy on the subject? Will her IT guy be better than the ShaikBoyz? Black Hat vs. White? *laughing again... I guess it's another win for the ruling party then....

LATER

Almost as I'd walked in after last night's Meeting, the GW told me we'd taken an almighty dip to our power system.... Not quite bad enough to take out the TV or the computer but it had startled him nonetheless... *grim...
What's it all about Bali? I've bitched for yonks that we're getting way less than the standard 220volts paid for. Just enough in fact to keep the power running and not falling down would be my guess..
The GW mentioned aloud recently that he'd noticed even the microwave was struggling.. Oddly enough this morning he said it appeared to be back to full strength today, and that maybe the huge dip last night had something to do with it? *keels over cackling... You've gotta love him hey... Even Missus C wisely gave the Insurance Assessor HIS name when the dude came calling earlier today, knowing that he generally sees only a fraction of what's going down...*grins...

He wasn't at my kids window watching Nobby wag his tail, nor with his impaired hearing did he catch the conversation up by Bali's gate or further down by the house...*chortles... If it had been me that answered the Assessors shouts earlier, I figure the most I would've done was show them how accessible those electric gates are... Fix them or raise the premiums? *shrugs...

LATER at 1.30pm

So I went up the top to see what the fuss was about. Another of No. 14's dogs out in the road...*sigh... Apart from that, there was once again a river pouring down the Crescent...*teeth... A new place, this time out of the pavement below Bernies at No. 17...HERE

I tried the numbers City Hall gave us on Sunday without success, though the Treasurer responded promptly after my two failed calls... Impressive, and yet I still treated the chap to a typical disjointed rant... Honey never worked with these bluebottles, so I poured on the vinegar instead poor dude....*shrugs..

Just a team of four have since arrived to dig up the pavement this time... It's really a shame the Officials can't be honest and say the break is entirely due to the ongoing work on the Information Theft Scheme.... As they dig, the Mothership is shining brightly down on Jan Smuts HERE and I've no doubt at all that row upon row of streetlights are active as well, throughout the city and suburbs...

Are you absolutely sure it's all going to be worth it? Really? I tried efnet again at midday only to get the usual total screenfreeze.... Bali is clearly still feeling very anxious...*grins... Did I not always say that if ever I solved the puzzle the repurcussions would be severe? *nods..

Peace julle...
