So what's this all about?

Having had strong views on matters for as long as I can remember, yet derived with an open mind on issues spanning sex, politics, religion, food, wine and other apparently equally 'controversial' subjects, I have been encouraged to put fingers to blog, and put some structure to it all.

My hope is simply to evoke discussion, nurture strong debate, and entertain all at the same time. I therefore invite you to join me on this journey..

Blue lights and gravy

I find it rather amusing how in this mellow and peaceful hamlet we call Cape Town, things can suddenly be turned to pandemonium at peak hour by visiting MP louts of the mink and manure party come Parliamentary Address time. A place where 'blue light's hold no favour, for they're merely transporting our public servants and representatives in public office. Yet with their rather obese bodies dressed in oversized suits and fine tents, it appears that some of them feel under threat in this passive Province of ours. Road closures all around the City Bowl and howling sirens, blue lights and wide eyed bodyguards muscling their way through.

These are afterall representatives of 'greed and gravy' Party descent primarily. So they believe that peak hour is an ideal time to bully their less than unimportant souls in conspicuous black BM's and Mercs through less than impressed Cape Town traffic. Amusing to watch angry Capetonians give less than a hoot about the fuss and keep to their lane come hell or high water. They're use to it, Capetonians, they usually drive slowly in the fast lane. But this time, I'm on their side..
