Spaar, en koop so veel so gou as julle kan 2001 Pinotage.
Daar word beweer dit is die beste Pinotage oesjaar ooit.
Moet dit proe - om te besluit of dit beter kan wees as 1997.
Dankie Danielle.
Dit is so goed om uit die stille meerderheid iets te hoor.
Gesien wat hy te sê gehad het oor 10 jaar se kommunistiese indoktronasie?
Ek dink ons het taamblik goed gedoen - ge-indoktroneer van kindsbeen af tot
ons verstand gekry het:)))

Lekker presedent is geskep deur ene "Acting Judge Clive Plaskett"
Bllykbaar, het ene Jimmy Rodgers Boginkosi Jika - " a self-emplyoed squatter
who drives a Mercedes Benz" nagelaat om afbetalings te doen op sy
huisverband.
Die bank het toe die huis teruggeneem, en dit is op 'n veiling verkoop aan
twee huisagente.
Die regter het bevind onder " The Prevention of Illegal Eviction Act" dat
die nuwe eienaars nie in die huis kan intrek nie, en dat Jika daar kan
aanbly.
Blykbaar, kan die regter die behoeftes van Jika opweeg teen die van die die
nuwe eienaars, wie in die huis kan bly.
Mens sal nou moet seker maak daar bly niemand in 'n huis wat op 'n veiling
aangebied word, anders sit jy met 'n eiendom wat jy nie self kan gebruik
nie, en 'n huurder wat jy nie wil hê nie, en definief geen huurgeld van sal
kry nie.

Op Bladsy 2 vanoggend in The Sunday Argus ( ek lees ook Sunday Times en
Rapport - net om 'n tipe van 'n gebalansseerde perspektief te kry)
Bataki is die Projek kantoor wat mense uitnooi om aansoek te doen om 'n nuwe
reeks banknote te ontwerp.
Dit is die hoofopskrif.
Maar onder Algemeen die volgende:
Verskoon die Engels.
The Bank ( SA Reserwebank) is committed to diversifying.
Consequently preference will be given to design artists from the previously
disadvantaged groups ( dit moet eintlik lees group - want wanneer previously
disadvantaged deur die staat gebruik word beteken dit dat wittes,
kleurlinge, Indiers, Portugese, Grieke, Japannese, Chinese of wie ook al
anders uitgesluit word)
Applicants may, therefore, form joint ventures or business relationships
with artists and shall submit full details of such relationship and/or their
Economic Empowerment Programme.
Ai toggie. Nou moet klein Pietie Van der Merwe al weer aansoek doen as Pallo
Khumalo, en as hy die werk sou kry, 'n voorheen benadeelde kry om voor te
gee hy is die kunstenaar teen 'n lekker groot som geld waarvoor daar nie 'n
steek gewerk word nie.

Somtyds wil dinge maar net nie verander nie.
Word wakker, vat kombers PC toe en skakel in.
Kry email van iemand wat siek is van doodlag oor my.
Kyk op ander nuusgroep. Ja-nee - my reputasie van mense op loop te jaag daar
nog ongeskonde:))
Kyk op hierdie ng of Gloudina al 'n vraag beantwoord het en ge:) het.
Twee vrae geantwoord - nog geen :) - moet maar nog verder vrae vra voordat
sy ingee, :), en dan moet ek ophou omdat ek so belowe het:(((
Doen uitnodigings vir partytjie. Luister na nuus en Alle Volke.
Doen familie goed.:)))
Vir die daar oorkant die grense se kwylkliere: Vissmeer en
Biltongtoebroodjies:)))
Kry Engelse koerant, en haak vas by Bladsy 2 - en dit is waaroor ek op die
ng wil skryf.
Hoe is daai vir alles uitlap?:)))))
Ek sal twee sake aanspreek en graag wil bespreek - apart - later vandag
nadat ( ek hoop) Kuerten gewen het ( ja - ek het geld op hom verwed:)))
1) Bakati
2) PE se regstelsel.

Happiness is a state of Mind.
Te danke aan Gloudina kon ek nou skielik aan nog iets dink waaroor ek graag
wil gesels:
Staatsamptenare - iemand hier wat my kan vertel hoekom hulle nie direk op
direkte vrae kan antwoord nie, maar altyd 'n wet aanhaal, wat jy eers moet
gaan oplees voordat jy vir hulle kan sê hulle het die verkeerde wet
aangehaal?
Nog een: Waarom kan staatsamptenare amper nooit erken hulle het 'n fout
gemaak nie? Gryp net die bewyse nors uit jou hand en oor 'n week is die fout
reggemaak.
Ek meen - hulle is mos gewone mense - nie politici wat "in denial" leef en
mense aanval ( ja - moenie bekommerd wees nie - ek weet al lankal aanval
word geag die beste vorm van verweer te wees - daarom dat die aanvallende
verweer van Gloudina vir my so uitdagend is)
Ekskuus - ek dwaal so van die punt af sodra ek tussen hakies begin
skryf.:))))
Om terug te kom na die punt - staatsamptenare - sukkel om foute te erken -
ja - loop hulle 'n kursus daarin om so snaaks op te tree?
Weet iemand?
Annette
Spesiaal op versoek van Gloudina:
Ek wil graag gesels oor kultuurorganisasies - van toe en nou.
Enige persoon hier wat aan een of meer behoort het?
Enige persoon wat nog noue kontak het met Die Voortrekkers?
