Robert Mugabe's birthday – having his cake and eating it.

March 30th, 2009 | Banter | Christopher J Combrink | No Comments

The festivities in the town of Chinhoyi, 100km north of Harare, may have been on a diet by the Zimbabwean President’s standards – after all his people are starving – but the despot’s blind-to-the-reality rhetoric was not. Zimbabwe’s healthcare system has fallen apart, more than 83,000 people are affected by a cholera epidemic that has [...]



R2 Billion Airliner, smashed.

You’d think that with all the financial crap going on in the world that projects like this would not exist? It sickens me. More so is the thought of people paying, presumably huge amounts, for flights on this thing. One thing’s for sure – the passangers didn’t get their money’s worth

I have decided that there is a lot around the home that I could do. I resigned my lease yesterday for another year and with that signiture the idea for a facelift was seeded. Years ago, I started making things myself, however, I seem to have lost touch with that skill as the ‘real-world’ has [...]

There are only 365 days in the year. I’m sure that there are more than 365 topics of concern in the world, worthy of a Day all to themselves. I reckon we should change Boxing Day to Get-the-USA-the-hell-out-of-the-East Day. My 10c. Google is doing their bit today (how generous) by donating a few pixels of [...]

Today sported my first ever Rifle Range Experience. What an experience it was! Along with a handful of chaps from work, I found myself at the Simon’s Town Naval Shooting & Demolition Range, late this morning. The Swiss Army had been nice enough to sponsor the Swiss Army Rifle Club, stationed here in South Africa, [...]

Life has been very tough lately. Very. Some things are going well, very well, others not. This man has inspired me to look forward, forward to the prospect of success and prosperity. Give the video a watch and reevaluate everything, as I have.
