As I sit here in my nuclear fall out shatter, banned by my editor from mentioning soccer and yet surrounded by tofu and recently stocked up supplies of low fat yoghurt, olives and other essential supplies I wonder if I will survive the World Cup food shortages (sorry Ed)! There has been a run on sushi, soft cheese and salami but there did appear to be lots of people buying up wine, especially the expensive French fizzy variety.
Do you believe in fate, or perhaps you are a person committed to the simple idea of co-incidence? Then again you could be a lucky so and so, someone who believes in luck above all less?
“One of our dinosaurs is missing!” Remember that little fun movie? Well Polokwane, home to ANC coups and pending World Cup football, has just scripted the sequel. “80 of our ambulances are missing!” No seriously, out of 100 new ambulances they have lost 80, honestly. Has anyone been charged, fired, suspended or even given a slapped wrist? Don’t be silly, but an investigation has begun into how 80% of the regions ambulances are missing and or intensive care, well what a relief and how decisive!
“Can you hear me mother?” It’s an old English comedy line but a bit too close to how I have felt over the last few months. A sad rather pathetic Lancastrian comedian, no not me, George Formby would cry out the above line whenever life became too hectic or confusing!
