Is hier enige persone wat op die nuusgroep betrokke is wat op die staduim in
NZ woon.
Ek oorweeg dit baie sterk om volgende jaar soontoe te trek. Indien julle vir
my meer inligting kan gee tov waarvoor moet 'n persoon uitkyk ensovoorts sal
ek dit baie waardeer.
> The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
> September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
> After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
> 119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11
> Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11

Uiteindelik weer terug by die huis. Ek het nog nooit so lank in 'n ry
gestaan en wag om seker te maak dat ek nie 'n mes of 'n ding saamdra nie.
Gelukkig het die oorgrote meerderheid passasiers dit gelate aanvaar. Ek
wonder of hulle so tegemoedkomend sou wees as die WTC nog gestaan het. Ek
is nie so seker of ek sou nie.
Waaroor het almal laas week baklei. Ek gaan nie deur 500 boodskappe lees om
uit te vind nie!!!
Brian Joffe is een Suid Afrika se suksesvolste sakemanne. Hy was 'n
miljoener op ouderdom 30 en het daarna na die VSA geïmigreer, maar weer
teruggekom. Moneyweb het hom sy opinie oor die SA ekonomie gevra. Hier is sy
reaksie:
"I think we're getting a lot right but our biggest problem is that we don't
talk about it - we only ever talk about the wrong! I do think we need to
market the good much more aggressively.
"An example: two Sundays ago in the papers there was a little article which
basically said that the Revenue Services had done such a fantastic job that
it could result in a tax cut. It was about 10 lines long. In the States,
they fought a presidential election about a tax cut! If I'd had the
opportunity as President I would have stepped up to the podium and said,
'well done' and rewarded the country with a tax cut, but it got practically
zero attention.
"Another issue that concerns me is the management of empowerment. If you did
a survey about what it means to people, you wouldn't get two answers the
same. There must be some mechanism put in place by which we can objectively
and empirically measure companies on empowerment and then reward them
against those standards. Otherwise we risk never having the definition of
empowerment criteria finalised and the 'who should have got what' bickering
will go on forever."
Ek weet sommige mense is vreeslik oorspronklik met name vir hul honde - maar
ek wonder watter tipe mens sal haar/sy hond Voertsek noem?:)))
Annette ( wie se vriend Steven al sy honde - nog lewende - Max noem:)) )
Dankie TJ - Ons was juis die begin van die jaar by die sirkus - by Canal
Walk - en die tentjie was baie klein in vergelyking met die groot tente van
my kinderjare. Hulle het selfs 'n bietjie kabaret ingebring in die
vertoning - maar die tekens was daar - die orkes was een persoon wat die
tromme geslaan het vir die spannende oomblikke - verder was alle musiek
geblik.
Vandag se kinders en opvolgende geslagte sal nie eers weet waarvan ons praat
as ons praat van die wonderlike sirkusdae nie.
Inderdaad 'n tradisie wat verdwyn.

Het julle net so terloops geweet hier is van die Arabiese weermag se manne
in SA besig om ammunusie opleiding te kry. Glo hoe om landmyne onskadelik te
maak en al daai tipe van dinge, en dit nogal by een van die grootste
ammunusie opslag plekke in Suid-Afrika. Ons land het wragtag nie meer 'n
weermag nie, vroeër sou so iets nie toegelaat word nie.
Ek weet nie is dit 'n goeie ding nie. Maar nou ja.

If you want to hide a secret from an enemy tell it not to a friend.
In Inside Edge ( Sunday Times):
Toentertyd, toe Clive Rice nog krietketkaptein was van Transvaal, kon hulle
vir een wedsryd net 10 fikse spelers bymekaarskraap.
" Ek sal speel" sê 'n stem, en Clive kom toe agter dis 'n perd wat met hom
praat.
Clive sê toe aan die perd - Gaaf, ons is desperaat. Jy kan op no 11 inkom.
Die wedstryd word toe gespeel met die ongewone 11de speler ( is dit wettig
om te speel sonder 'n 12de man?) en Clive beland toe in die situasie - soos
menigmaal tevore - dat hy en die 11de speler ( die perd in die geval) moet
lopies aanteken vir die 10de paaltjie.
Clive vra toe dat die perd net die balle moet blok totdat die boulbeurt oor
is, sodat hy, Clive, kan aangaan om lopies aan te teken.
Die perd knip oog vir Clive, en gaan slaan toe 4-6-6-4-6 van die boulbeurt.
Grote Griet!! wens Clive die perd geluk - en stel voor dat hy wat Clive is,
met die volgende bal net 'n enkele lopie sal hardloop, sodat die perd kan
aangaan om die bouler se (krieket)balle wild en wakker te moker.
So gedaan, maar Clive word uitgehardloop omdat Perd nie eers 'n pging
aanwend om te hardloop nie.
Met die terugstap kleedkamer toe vra Clive vir die perd hoekom hy nie die
lopie gehardloop het nie.
Perd sê toe - As ek kon hardloop, sou ek nie krieket gespeel het nie.

Verbeel jou hoe jy gaan voel as jy wegstap van 'n kompetisie soos Big
Brother en hoor wat die afgelope tyd gebeur het! Veral as jy die hele tyd
gedink het almal se aandag is net op jou daar binne gevestig.
'n Week of twee in mens se lewe kan nogal insiggewend wees.
