Power on ... power off... power on ...power off
Yip since Saturday night we have rolling blackouts. Eskom claims its because of the fires, apparently the soot deposited somewhere and then the sudden rains caused this to f up the power
Wouldn't have been a problem if our old turbines in Koeburg where spinning properly these are under repair cause a bolt came loose...
Best they hurry up and get the pebble bed reactor finished - yip[ we are going to be getting one according to Trevor Manuel's budget speech.
The biggest problem is my work has back-up generators so while some lucky friends have got a mini holiday - we are business as usual.... gggrrrrrr....
Well at least the population in 9 months is going to take a sudden hike. down here in the Western Cape :)

But on a happy note I WON again in the Rugby Super 14 pool - hahahahahhahaha - this has really P's the hardcore rugby manne here in the office.
So now I am 10 pints ahead overall.... kitty come to me come to me .... could do with $$'s

So watched Special Assignment - local TV programme - was all about the 32 Battalion and how they are getting screwed again by our Gov. Yip in the old Apartheid days they were the toughest and scariest fighting force that we had. Recruited from Angola to fight against FAPLA (The then Soviet backed Angolan army) They fast became the toughest battalion the old SANDF had. Then after SA withdrew from Namibia they were all given SA citizenship and land to live on ironically the land was an old Asbestos mine. Now the new SA govt. wants to weaken them by splitting them up .... oh how that sounds just like the old Govt.... Hell if I was them I would pick up arms again. Anyway you can read more about this famous Battalion here.

So some of the IT guys and girls started a Rugby super 14's pool - basically put five bucks in and guess the teams to win R2 going to a kitty. Well they offered to me jokingly to join in so I thought well bugger you guys and entered. After arriving at work a little late on Friday morning - went pass and quickly guessed the teams to win. Come Monday of course they all had new found respect for me cause I WON...haaa that will teach them that you don't have to be butch to see that a Bull will beat a Shark....Anyway hope I win this week as well as I am now in the lead with 5points.
