OK maybe monthly then. The charges thing fell away, I am happy about that, well nothing has happened since so I think they fell away, I guess time will tell. Got my increase letter at the end of Jan, which had me getting a big increase which was wonderful news, they also slipped me a letter marked bad news which was my providence fund had to increase due to a new company policy, this now means after that lovely increase I only get an extra 200 a month and not the 1200 I thought I was getting out...which was for a lack of a better word bollocks, apparently there is nothing I can do so I guess life goes on. It seems both my father and his girlfriend and my sister and her hubby are having a rough time with there relationships, again cementing my feelings that commitment is a bad thing. I enjoy fighting, but if it were on a 24/7 basis my heart would probably stop.

I also have to book my car in for a service soon, at the moment it sounds if my break pads on my tazz have worn down to the metal, because every time I brake I hear metal on metal grinding....again bollocks...it all means I will be spending more of my X-Box360 fund on non x box shit, at this rate I'll never get one of those things. Other then that life goes on, United are still doing well in the EPL and hopefully the Title will be ours this season, of course a 6 point lead isn't much, but they have been consistently good this year and if that carries on it will our's.....that's all for this update

Wow, it's been a while since I posted an update here, this will have to become a weekly thing, maybe Fridays when everyone has gone home, we'll have to see.

Been a hectic month so far, since people only came back last week Monday to ease my workload, I had a very ugly start to the month, and immediately started missing my vacation. I got into a bit of trouble for fighting with some guy who picked on a younger friend of mine, I kicked his ass and he laid charges, wont go into to much detail on that though as things are still unfolding even at this late stage. I am busy making travel arrangements to go down to durbs again in March, if all goes well me and my mates will be down there soaking it up again.

On the football front ManU are still 6 points clear of Chelsea, we had the chance of making 9 points clear, but failed to beat Arsenal, to their credit the played well and looked like scoring goals, whilst United seemed to be more defensive minded looking to secure the draw. Chelsea lost to the scousers on Saturday 2 nothing, it was bliss!

Till next week Friday, Cheers

Well I am back, and boy does it suck being back, I have had a lot of fun the last 2 weeks. I wont go into too much detail on the shit that I got up to, I did meet some lovely ladies and also made a couple of new friends whom I shall look up when I am in that part of the world again. I didn't have time to make arrangements to hook up with any of the pond gang unfortunately, but I can always do that the next time Im down at the coast. I have also spent far to much bloody money and now have to scrounge about for money to pay the accounts I have.....BOLLOCKS!

United failed to beat an injury stricken Newcastle last night, which wasn't surprising because the bloody brutes were kicking lumps out of our boys, Rob Styles is a right wanker for not booking more of the Newcastle players. Anyway the result sees our lead at 7 points, but that will probably change if Chelsea beat Astonvilla tonight. My only hope is that Martin O'neil's boys give Chelsea a tough game, that's all I really have time for today, I will post another update during the week with a more detailed report on my holiday and the kak I got up to. Cheers

I have had a bit of a sad start to the week, on Sunday afternoon my Gran passed away, all very tragic and emotionally draining. My aunt and mother are taking the hit hard, luckily she got to see all 3 of her children on Sunday morning where she joked with them and had a bit of a laugh. On Sunday afternoon I got the call I have been dreading for the last couple of months, my aunt was on the line frantically telling me that my gran had collapsed and couldn’t get up, I got my mother and raced down there. When I got to her flat as soon as I got through the door my gran was lying on the floor, head on a pillow with my aunt trying to wake her up, I immediately new she was gone, her lips were blue and she wasn’t responding. I tried to feel for a pulse and also checked to see if she was breathing she wasn’t.....I had known as soon as I hit the door and had just confirmed it, she was gone. Watching my aunt break down wasn’t an easy thing for me, my family are pretty strong and it was something we don’t normally see, my sister arrived a couple of minutes later and she took over from there, my brother, cousin and I began consoling both our aunt and mother, we took them downstairs so they didn’t have to watch all the heartbreaking stuff. The paramedics only arrived and hour later (fuckers) and I had to hold back on beating the shit out of them. They confirmed what I had already known and left. My sister arranged for the Doves guys to come and collect my gran and I took my aunt and cousin back to my place with my mother. The funeral is tomorrow at 11, it is going to be a very long and hard day for me and my family, I have had a sore heart since that tragic afternoon, that coupled with headaches and all the other emotional stress hasn’t been great. I wasn’t going to post this here, but I need a place to vent, my Boss has been great about the whole thing and for that I am thankful. The timing of this isn’t good either being so close to Christmas, it all makes for a pretty sad December.

Anyway I guess life goes on, the coming weeks will be difficult for my mother and aunt as they start realizing all the small things that my gran used to do, taking their coppers, eating the Christmas pies, waking up 4am in the morning to start house work before her maid got in.....rest in peace gran, we will all miss you terribly!

Wow, Finally I have a chance to post something here. Last week I was off and got up to quite a bit, we started our trek down to durb's, only to to turn around and come back after finding out that the newly arranged accommodation was not available either. So we spent about 5 hours on the road to end up where we started. We decided we would just chill in joburg and do a number of things in and around the city. That plan took a back seat to us being drunk at my place every day of last week, which was also fun...well te bits we can remember at any rate. I also got a chance to play Rockstar's Bully (Cannes edit general or something like that) must say I haven't played PS2 in a long time, I cant get used to the anolog sticks on the bloody controllers, but for this game I made an effort. I don't play the missions much, I just like attacking other kids and the prefects, also sneaking into the girls room and hiding in the cupboards brought back some fond memories. The game is definitely one of my new favourites, and the only PS2 game I bother playing. Our Christmas party is tomorrow night, the company is taking us to the Barnyard Theatre to go watch something called Diamonds and Dust or something to that effect, I am going to got hammered with my boss and the other IT guys, my only concern is having to drive home afterwards, they now take your car away if found to be heavily under the influence, which would not be cool. I could probably crash at one of my colleagues house's for the night and then go home in the morning when I am sober or halfway sober.

Lot of hogwash in the news today, people complaining about a few Bok supporters waiving the old SA flag, which is stupid (The people complaining not the flag) also news that ManU may make a bid for Jermaine Defoe, not sure if he would fit in at OT, I'd like to see Sean Wright-Phillips make the move to United, he could be the ideal replacement for Giggsy! Other then that I don't have much more to add to this!

Ok my first post on Blogger Beta!

Quick Update, looks like I am going to have to find alternate accomodation next week , as the Ramsgate beach home has been booked by my sister's in-laws...god dammit. Looking at the possibility of a camp site in Matalumi South Coast, if that doesn't come right then either we sleep in our cars are we leave it for December. It looks as if my December leave has also been restructured, with me only getting the days between Christmas and New Years now, which is right really sucks. I recently rekindled my interest in Oak Island's Money Pitt, I have been doing research (half heartedly) on and off for about a year, unfortunately I don't have the resources available at present to get down to them, I recently started liaising with the mod on the site, trying to get as much info from him as possible, and on the weekend I will pop into a library..(Shudder: the word just doesn't roll of the tongue does it) and see if I can find more info on OI.

On the soccer front ManU still doing will in the EPL, this weekend they take on the Blades (Sheffield United) which should be very competitive, smaller teams always seem to play like super stars when playing against United, its quite annoying to say the least, and then on the 26/11/2006 United take on Chelsea....this game will show how reliable United's form in the league has been, hopefully we will take in the 3 point gap we currently have (only if United win on the weekend) because it is always nice to have some sort of cushion for these types of matches.

Anyway I have work to do so that's all for know
