I've been buying + recommending @anysberggeorge biltong and droëwors for a year or two. The Kudu droëwors deteriorated recently - just fatty. Tried Springbok today - just rancid fat! I'm throwing away a R70 loop. That's how bad it's become! Won't be visiting the Tokai store again
Congratulations @lunarossa. But wow, on the third day, it really looks like they were told to NOT embarrass the primary team! Great sailing in Cagliari all around though #AmericasCup
Dear @Microsoft. I've been a loyal customer since the start of MS-DOS on a floppy disk. You're not forcing me to buy a new PC. So bye for now. I was using UNIX since before you existed and I'll be converting to Ubuntu as soon as your extended Windows security updates end. Cheers!

***Don't camp at Cape Columbine Nature Reserve***
“Last night we stayed at one of the most beautiful camp sites in Paternoster. But while we were sleeping in the rooftop tent some arseholes broke into the bakkie and cleaned us out.
Literally robbed us blind while we slept above them. 2 macbooks, dji drone, gymbal and mics, flexible solar panel, brand new Gentech inverter, British passport, my whole bag of clothes, Lisa's bag of toiletries, makeup and her suitcase.
We searched the area and recovered our @cadacsa gas geyser.
We spend our money supporting these campspots and supporting local businesses in the area, and yet even though Vredenburg Police Station told us this is a regular occurrence, Cape Columbine Nature Reserve don't warn people of the dangers and don't have adequate security on site.
This is a warning to our fellow travelers. Be aware and know the facts before camping here. Now we're off to buy toothbrushes and a jacket.”
@Currentreport1 When two class bullies are beating the hell out of each other and the one who's been insulting you, striking you and punishing you with tariffs for the past two years now requests your help!

@TraditionSarah My mother told me, repeatedly and pompously, that, "A boy becomes a man when he walks around a puddle and not through it". To this day I walk through most every puddle I encounter. I'm in my 70's and predominantly bare foot!
#NOOZ#SONA Summary
#CyrilRamaphosa
The party started off with a fashion show that only a mother could be proud of.
Then, Daddy Cupcake went:
• Hello to you in the audience, plus the mayor of Cape Town, plus everyone. Actually, hello to you all, except that one shower prez.
• Women. So strong those ones.
• Apartheid...
• Clap for women.
• Bantu Education and Afrikaans oppression.
• I salute the youth. Not Gen Z. The Gen X youth.
• Everyone deserves food, shelter, water (ha!), and such. We must make these things happen now. It's time.
• Our country is beautiful and rich. Plus we have the kumbaya spirit. Wakanda Forever, y'all.
• We're a nation of sports champions. It's new, guys.
• Our economy is growing again, and gathering pace (like a baby?)
• The Rand is stronger than the Dollar. The JSE is a prince amongst paupers in Africa.
• Loadshedding is over.
• Everything is working: ports, railways, roads, solar farms.
• We created 2.5 million... opportunities. You thought I was gonna say “jobs” neh?
• Unemployment? What?
• Moving on. We are no longer on the financial grey list. Yay.
• Remember that I'm the State Capture dragon slayer.
• The GNU. Smile everyone. Look at us working together.
• G20 Summit. You didn't think I'd leave that out, hey.
• Eish, but you know what? Life is tough. People are poor. They need money and services. We must become equal.
• The children...
• Crime...
• Task teams for everything.
• We've worked hard... since last year.
• GBV, Zama-Zamas, hijacked buildings
• We will create new ways to fight crime.
• The SANDF is coming for the gangs. Where? Somewhere in Western Cape and Gauteng.
• We will combat crime by fixing street lights and other things like being strict.
• We will have a new programme for policing illicit goods. I'll task-team the hell out of it.
• The Madlanga Commission... the Ad Hoc Commission... there will be, uhm, consequences.
• Whistleblowers will be protected with a new law that will make it illegal to do illegal things like killing whistleblowers. We will take measures.
• Water is almost as important as the crime issue. The ministers of water and COGTA will fix this matter by talking to residents about it. They were uninvited to the SONA so they could do this talking thing that will get the water running again.
• The reason we have water problems is because infrastructure. Infrastructure is not infrastructuring, so there's no infrastructure.
• New agency alert: the water something something agency.
• Task team.
• There will be a R54bn incentive from the government for municipalities to do their job of getting water to people. A salary upon and within a salary. Salary-ception.
• Government will now interfere and intervene in municipal issues, being strict and everything.
• Johannesburg is collapsing. Infrastructure.
• Climate change... infrastructure.
• Opportunities for youth. Infrastructure.
• Infrastructure drive
• A new state property company will change land into moneymaking machines.
• Loadshedding is behind us. Infrastructure.
• State Capture. Don't forget that nothing is my fault. It was that other guy.
• By 2030 our energy will be cheap and clean. Not cheap for you, just cheap to make.
• Eskom for who? I will open this marriage up into a polygamy. No more exclusivity.
• Task team.
• We will probably, maybe, get rid of load reduction (AKA Apartheid loadshedding.)
• Infrastructure. Rail. Ports. More Gautrains.
• Imagine, dream, wonder, even, about a high-speed train from Joburg to Musina, or to Durban.
• The chrome, steel and motor industries will be revived.
• We are competitive. The best, even. Have you seen our oranges all over the world? Everywhere.
• We need more farmers. We will copy the Ethiopia model of employing agricultural officers.
