Nothing so drear … as a pub with no beer
'Slim Dusty" Kirkpatrick got it right! An Australian Country Music performer; he encapsulates the misery of a dry and dusty Quaffer who can't quench his thirst. There is nothing wrong with having a drink with your meal in a restaurant, a pub or at home. The problem is...
THE HORSE HAS BOLTED!
The horse has bolted. One out every three South Africans is infected. Shutting down the economy using another level Four Shutdown will cause more misery and death but will not stop the Covid carnage. Take Covid out of the equation. People will still drink. They have...
Oops – Now you’ve gone and done It – Trump!
You lost the Presidency months ago - and you couldn't even see it. You've been lectured to by the top Honchos in the senate #Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnel for betraying the democratic institutions of the USA and bringing embarrassment to all Americans, including...

ANC – Stop Hiding and Face The Music!
Here are some questions that I as a citizen of South Africa must ask: Why, all of a sudden is there a so-called integrity commission in our country, held behind closed doors without media presence; no cameras no public video exposure? How does this hiding away under...
#Clamp down on the hotspots! or become a “#Banana Republic”
Again, the message is clear! Our government has a huge blind spot when it comes to the township areas in our country. We need to start fixing the problems in our townships immediately because if we don't, we will truly become a "banana Republic"; instead of being a...
THE #EFF GETS IT RIGHT FOR ONCE!
Amazingly! in the EFF's latest protest, for the first time, in my opinion, they are expressing outrage about relevant and important issues; being #GBV and the government's abject failure to tackle issues such as poverty, water supply to the townships, hunger and in...
