So last night the 1st Project show was launched on MNET, and from the comments so far, I think we have a helluva hit, all thanks to me, I mean, those drummer guys!
Ladies, gents, get your asses off your seats and head off to buy the DVD, ‘cos it’s kickass.
I went to the Spar in Olivedale earlier to get stuff to make for dinner (a beef strip pasta, in case you were wondering). Anyway, as I was walking to the till I spotted an ice-cream fridge with different looking okies in it.
Turns out it was Island Way sorbets. I bought two, fuck me, they rock. Low fat coconut in a shell (for me) and mango orange in a half-peel (for Andrea).
It looks like they’re an American product, made locally, but they’re the business, you should try ‘em…!
First this, now a group of Limpopo pupils have burned down their school ‘cos they failed.
Very clever.
Shit, this still ain’t resolved. Leechi posted a complaint on Hello Peter, minutes later she gets a call from Vodacom, she again explained the problem and was told to go back to Incredible. Of course, she’s already tried this.
I love vodacom’s reply on Hello Peter:
| Hello Leechi
As per our telephonic discussion your query has been resolved. Kind regards Cindy Price |
Still not surprised…!
UPDATE: Please do not post your Christmas Wishes on this blog, click here for the 94.7 Christmas Wishlist website. Thanks.
Once again, the other morning saw us wiping our eyes after hearing another heartwarming story on 94.7‘s Christmas Wishlist. This time it was for Adri Briel, whose 7-year old son sold his bicycle for R40 because she didn’t have money for bread.
He sold the bike, bought some bread and gave her all the change. What an amazing kid.
A few weeks back Lee-Anne from the office decided to move from MTN to Vodacom (her first mistake).
For a process that’s supposed to be painless, this has been one headache after the next.
Following her initial fight with MTN just to get permission (?) to switch – they didn’t want to let her, she headed out on 1st December to Incredible Connection (mistake number two) to get her new contract.
A week later, confused by the lack of calls she was receiving on her cell (Leechi, you need to use your phone more chick), she decided to check her number. Turns out Incredible just gave her a new number despite assurances that all was in order with the “porting”.
She immediately called Vodacom’s help line where she was transfered to five different people to get answers, eventually she was told it was not Vodacom’s problem, but Incredible’s.
She went this weekend to the shop to try and sort things out, no-one including the store manager could help saying they’d contact her today. Next thing she gets back to the office to this email (btw. I’ve not edited out the pleasantries, this is it verbatim)…
| I tryed to call you several times you dont answer you phone at home and your cell phone I need pin no to port your number please supply me mtn pin , thanx maisha sekhula inc northgate |
Rude, and illiterate. Fuck me, who hires these people? He followed this mail up with a phone call blaming Lee for the problems because she didn’t give him her MTN sim’s pin? WTF?
Sadly, nothing here surprises me…!
If you drive up Peter Place in Sandton you’ll see a sign for the MedFem clinic.
This is arguably SA’s premier fertility clinic. What I found a tad ironic was the business two buildings down.
So, one is for people desperate to be pregnant, the other is (primarily) for people desperate not to be.
I’m thinking someone should open an adoption centre between the two…!
Every single pupil from grade 8 to 11 at a school in Ganyesa near Vryburg failed this year. Every. Single. One of them.
Other schools didn’t do too well either.
So who’s to blame? The fact is, it doesn’t really matter, ‘cos all these kids are still gonna waste another year of their lives anyway. Ah, SA’s youth, gotta love them.
Ok, so Transport Minister Jeff Radebe, at the launch of the National Safety Project, told everyone that 75% of road accidents were caused by speeding, then left and sped on the highway with blue lights a-flashing.
Article 176 of the Traffic Control Act says that police officials “may disregard traffic signs in the execution of their duties”. Fine. But in an emergency.
* Speeding to save a wee baby from a burning building. Emergency.
* Speeding to sort out a 54 car pile-up. Emergency.
* Speeding because Minister Radebe needs to make pipi. Umm…
His drivers are considered as part of the police because they are qualified members of the VIP unit, so in an emergency I guess they have a right to speed. But what emergencies do they really have? They drive in convoy and exceed the speed limit if there is a security risk. What risk? How many Transport Ministers have been killed lately? Why would they be?
“Hey! Bellaires Drive has potholes! Eat lead mother fucker!”
Umm… I don’t think so. Ok, so I don’t agree.
Handsome Rob caught this on the road today.
Lank funny. Thanks Rob.
I know, it’s a measly 0,4g, but still, it’s false advertising.
Why couldn’t they say Almost, or Practically Fat-Free milk. Hell, they could feature it as ONLY 0,4g FAT PER 100ml, SO REALLY JUST 10ml OF FAT IN YOUR AVERAGE GLASS.
But hey, that’s just me.
