Hall of Lame
My Hall of Lame is off to an excellent start, but I should be at the top of the list.

I did a find in Outlook for all comments from this blog, looking for the idiotic ones trying to book flights etc. Then I created a new mail folder called Lame. I proceeded to drag each stupid airline comment to that folder, and delete it from the search results list.

I was surprised to find the Lame folder empty! Oh, well, that's what the Deleted Items folder is for.


The format is still very raw, and I need to spend some time on some Idiot Styles for that page. Watch for improvements coming soon to a host near you.

Idiots II
In my first Idiots post I mentioned stupid people, but it just doesn't stop. I also mentioned exposing them, and now I am even more determined to get my Hall of Lame set up after an inquiry into my new CPT DBN route.

These people seem to be lacking in any ability whatsoever. I don’t even know they manage to send me the email, or even go to the toilet for themselves. Shouldn't they be on ventilators; the alternating between breathing in and out too difficult to keep count of? Salt has more intellectual capacity than these people. My farts make intelligent conversation.

The Hall of Lame will expose every one of these wood-headed, imbecilic cretins to discourage inbreeding and baby battering. Hopefully their shame will move them to ask one of the able-minded to remove them from the gene cesspit before it seeps through to the pool.

We Are Doomed
On Sunday while watching TV I saw Isabel Jones, fierce champion of truth and fairness, advertising God. Even worse, while doing so she gave Billy Graham a shameless plug. Now who will help us expose God's extortion racket?

Dial Direct Pulls a Telkom
On the evening of Tuesday 5 July, I was involved in a motor accident and my car was towed to an autobody shop.

On Thursday 7 July, as soon as I was discharged from hospital, I phoned Dial Direct insurance and lodged a claim. On Friday 8 July I was told that the autobody shop was not approved and that my car would be towed to the Dial Direct yard for assessment, and then taken to an approved repair shop.

Today when I phoned to enquire as to progress, I was told that just the assessment can take up to a week, and my car is only booked to be assessed on Friday 15 July. That means that I have been without transoport for more than a week before an assessor even looks at my car.

What kind of service is this from a company that claims on their web site to "...offer South Africans an international standard of insurance, along with the confidence that we are here to stay."

What confidence does this inspire in me?

Spar, Good for Who?
When I moved, in my immense hurry I neglected to wash dishes etc. before moving them (don’t worry, I didn’t pack them in any closed container), and when I arrived at my new place, I thought the more cholera avoiding thing to do would be to discard my old, nasty, plastic handled cutlery and purchase a nice new set. I was worried about the hygiene of these even before the move, as I don’t like cutlery with crevices (I always ended up soaking them in Jic).

Now, before I have had chance to find nice cutlery, I just popped down to the Spar for a quick make-do plastic set, and all they had was knives. “Only knives? They must have sold out of forks and spoons”, you say.

They never had freaking forks and spoons! No less than three spindles packed full of packets full of plastic knives, and a fourth next to them packed full of metal knives. No empty spindles where forks and spoons used to be, or should be. I can just hear the useless imbecile that made this decision, “Hmm, no more forks and spoons? I know, we’ll just replace them with fucking knives! Brilliant, no-one will ever even notice, and we don’t have to order more forks or spoons for another year, because we’ve got more than a fucking year’s worth of knives here. Wow, fucking wow!”
