Diversions... 
(begun Sunday 28th April at 4.55am..)


Stop yapping on about the computerised control of the waterlines?  Why?  Dammit, I've only just started..
All pretence at minor mischief was tossed aside yesterday afternoon, when I'd gone to change my Facebook cover picture and instead of the Drag to Reposition not working, the new picture I'd chosen simply refused to load... True to form, I put my foot in the stirrup and leapt aboard my high-horse, as was no doubt anticipated...
*I've just been startled to find the GW making himself a coffee in the kitchen at this ungodly hour. He says he can't sleep.  A first?  *
So ja, I'd tried half a dozen times to load the new picture before I abandoned my attempts and used the SN Retic one instead, which had been permitted to load...
Who was on duty in ours yesterday after 3pm?  Someone who'd taken an immediate dislike to the view of that river running down the Crescent past No. 20, and had blocked it each time I'd attempted to load it?

Would the Project Planners make three such glaring errors in a row?  Surely not...  But there they are for all to see...
The blue-capped fire hydrant moved from across the road onto Balliram's verge HERE.. The blue-capped hydrant on the verge outside No. 18, where it's been uncapped and thunders water down the road HERE.. And then, interestingly enough - a blue-capped hydrant sitting on the pavement right outside Balliram's Boet-in-law's home up at No. 6 Garbutt Road...

THIS one came as a surprise, sitting on the pavement outside No. 22 Garbutt Road, and you can see it boasts a green cap, and has clearly taken a knock at some point..  Ja, it's green alright, and there's no mistaking it, but my question is this.. If I were to cruise around the streets of Sherwood, would the positioning of the blue-capped fire hydrants indicate the presence of an Area Controller living in the nearest property?  Or at the very least, a point where the waterlines may be controlled via computer, and either stopped or surged at will?
It's a thought folks, and one I must try to follow up.. It'll be interesting to see who has the hydrants outside the properties higher up the Crescent.. The Madressa?  Our ex-City Councillor?  What about the little by-road running parallel to Jan Smuts Highway?  Is there not a hydrant directly opposite what used to be the Druglord's Mistress' home on Jan Smuts?

As an aside - I'm told the chap who moved into the Moth Cottage adjacent to Carol's ex-property (last year?) has since been added to the Board of Trustees for the Haines Trust cottages.. A position once held by the Old Bill at No. 11, but that apparently hadn't worked out.. Whether this new chap's secondment to the Board is of any great significance, remains to be seen, but there's a great deal of water running down that little road on a regular basis...

Did you like my picture of the guy standing in front of that double door box by the Sherwood Hall?   Did you know that a similar box has gone up a few hundred yards away, down the Crescent right outside the Madressa?  Okay now I've veered right off topic..
See, I figure if Joe Soap were to discover the games being played with the waterlines, there'd be an uproar to say the least...
If the public were to wake up and realise that nearly 90% of the equivalent of six standard sized swimming pools of water were being lost deliberately to accommodate the fibre optics required to thieve their right to privacy, they might just form a lynching party, hey Neil?
Would you step nimbly aside and hope they vented their anger on your immediate Superior?  A chap who's probably there in a purely decorative capacity, and can't tell a stormwater line from a sewage line?

I think not.. I think that those ratepayers who have yet to be totally zombified might just look in your direction, Mistuh MacLeod... Some of them might even begin to ask just where you've been trialling your 'grey' water project without their knowledge?  Here in Sherwood perhaps?  Where the Muslim Community are in the majority?  How would they possibly know if their potable water was contaminated, when I suspect that the places one goes to have tests done, will long have been bought and OWNED?
If my allegations regarding the manipulation of the water lines is so much rubbish, why am I suddenly encountering problems posting pictures of runoffs, and why was that photo of No. 18's fire hydrant pouring water down the Crescent, removed from both the file and the CD?
I'm simply being fed more misinformation TB?  Nope, this time I don't think that's the case at all... Right back to the neat removal of that series of pictures I'd taken of the Fire Department uncapping our hydrant, to the latest disappearance of No. 18's hydrant, there's a definite effort being made to suppress the truth, and once again you have Special Operative Balliram to thank for highlighting the situation...

It hadn't been long after I'd posted on FB of the three vehicles sitting on No. 6's driveway yesterday afternoon, that the two little dogs had become agitated..
I'd gone outside to hear someone talking loudly nearby... So loudly in fact, that I'd eventually stuck my head over the Chickencoop's wall to discover Maid No. 26 standing leaning against their outdoor sink, talking into her cellphone at the top of her voice... In all the time she's been employed next door, I've never heard that timid little woman utter so much as a whisper, and yet there she was, rabbiting on at the top of her voice.. *winks...
Would you be startled to hear that she'd gone on like that for the better part of an HOUR, and that as each minute passed, she appeared to be morphing into a red herring?
I used my vodacom loaded cell to call my kid briefly last week, and I'd checked and had R43 just prior to making the call.
I'd spoken for about 3 minutes tops, and had found to my horror that my balance had dropped to R28.

I've neither seen nor heard Eunice with a cellphone before, and that nearly hour-long call must surely have cost a pretty packet?  Free minutes saved up over five years for the occasion? What?
Naa - Someone wanted me to believe the house was empty, despite the three cars on the driveway.. Some Idiot who thought the sight and sound of the maid roaring on her phone would convince me she was on her own.. FAIL.

You there Al? *looks for the Superintendent of Electricity for Durban... Here's one for you in your capacity as a qualified Electrical Engineer...
The extreme changes in temperature that I encounter inside our home?  Do they fall under Roux's idea of a perfectly safe technology?  Something I can't dispute as the birds, bats, and butterflies (no, not the bees) go about their business, seemingly regardless of the dense blanket of gold dust ultra short laser beams surrounding us...

Professor Roux, who didn't expound much on his collaboration with Frankie Petruccione, and how, what may well be 'safe' outdoors, was to prove a killer once it arrived over the powerlines?
So ja, Allen, about those appalling waves of heat?  I can pretty much set my clock for the one that hits me each day at 5.55pm.. Would that be due to sudden increased activity from the mini wireless base station now rigged up at St. Theresa's?  What about all the other random waves of heat I encounter day and night?  Would you consider them to be perfectly safe, and not causing me any mischief whatsoever?
Would you yourself be happy to be subjected to a similar ongoing phenomenon?  As thick as I surely am, I'm of the opinion that that particular treat is not, as your lot would have it, simply an amusing side-effect that many of your unwitting guinea pigs have to endure... I'm of the idea that those extreme walls of heat don't do us much good at all... Your expert opinion?

It's now 6.30am, and a somewhat tremulous chirrup has just sounded next door, although the nearby hadedas remained silent for a change... Eunice, still following careful instructions?  I predict she won't last long in this job before she's replaced with No. 27 or 28.. I've no doubt she considers that whoever is rewarding her for her mild theatrics is barking mad, but as long as she's paid, she ain't going to argue...
There was an aircon unit running at 4am, a few feet from me.  An un-missable sound which has long since fallen silent..

LATER at 7.23am

The kids had arrived on Friday evening to stay for the weekend.. The levels of monitoring had escalated sharply well before they'd even pulled in, and they've been running off the scale since then...
Almost as if our Monitor is seriously pissed off at not being able to enjoy the break.. Almost as if whoever is flooding our home with those eyewatering frequencies might be feeling a tad trapped right now?
It's well known that when the always polite Aviator comes to stay, I ask that he transfer my latest photos onto the PC.  As openly sceptical on my wild theories as he is, he usually gets the job done...

Balliram was of course aware of their imminent arrival well in advance... Would he trust another to 'manage' us over that period of time?  Would he trust a proxy to ensure that no incriminating evidence suddenly appeared on Facebook while he was off jolling in parts unknown?  What do you think?  I would have it that during my waking hours at least, the cowardly Pig is holed up in der Bunker, and that his resentment has him hammering away at me with all he's got... I would have it that the Accounts Manager for Merc Pinetown will insist they were week-ending elsewhere... As the little woman has lied on his behalf for all the years I've known her, I wouldn't put much store by her denials...
An unmatched one-man Damage Control machine that Balliram calls on when necessary...

Is our fraudulent iBurst connection due to go down sometime today or tomorrow, once those new pictures are on our computer, and before they can be posted on Facebook?
Does the Wabbit continue to believe there is no substance to my ongoing allegations, or is he too embroiled in his role in the Broadway extravaganza that's premiered on the mybroadband Forum this week? *chokes..
I've seen no sign nor sound of the Producer/Director, Mr. Jannie van Zyl... Come Janneman, step out into the spotlight and take the credit you so richly deserve for your carefully constructed strategies....
Peace...
