<Marmite> Eish, these lazy civil servants

<XhosaNostra> Ha ha ha ha Marms.... Next week I am in the office till 20h00 from Mon till Thursday. That is why boss lady says I can leave now

<Marmite> keep that story for the Mail & Guardian when they come asking

<XhosaNostra> like they ever do.... all they do is publish reports on our hard working bosses based on hearsay and stereotypes

<bk_Powers> greetings again all...

<Marmite> Howzit bk

<Belcar> bk - Our man in Africa. Hi there.

<Marmite> Still working Bel?

<Belcar> Afternoon Marmite, you having the weekend off for a change?

<Belcar> As you can see. hand bruised and battered but apathy still strong. I think I will get the letter from the gynae and leave at 3.

<Marmite>

<Marmite> I hope so...haven't been invited to the last couple of meetings, which I take as a good sign

<bk_Powers> hey bel, marmite

<Belcar> Good to see that you are not paranoid. Some of the people I worked with would be total wrecks by now if that happened to them.

<Belcar> Hey bk, would you recommend Africa so far?

<bk_Powers> loving africa again spending the week in ghana which is like a holiday

<bk_Powers> africans in nigeria and ghana actually like whities

<Belcar> Yes. Heard the same for tanzania. Think it is time we move there and actually feel welcome... in Africa nogal too.

<bk_Powers> its a nice experience to actually feel welcome in africa Bel, i highly recommend it

<bk_Powers> i have a job interview for a position in tanzania on tuesday

<Belcar> Lovely man. Please let us know your impressions.

<Belcar> Hooohhaaa! I'm being hijacked. Collegue has just walked in and indicates that he ispaying for beers today. Which means that I am out of here within seconds. Good weekend to you all.

<bk_Powers> have a great weekend... think i am off for lunch now

<Marmite> Bye bk and Bel

<Crow> Anyone about?

<Lynn> Hiya Crow

<Crow> Hiya Lynn

<Lynn> In SA, flying back to UK tomoorrow...

<Lynn> Dial up terribly slow and painful here

<Crow> I use dial-up here, not too bad.

<Lynn> This is SA Crow!!!

<Crow> Yeah I know and how the Telcoms screw the consumer! By the minute charges for what many of us pay flat rate.

<Lynn> Everything here is a total screw. I've spent more money here than I did in the Seuchelles in Dollars...figure.

<Lynn> *Seychelles*

<Crow> Squeezing the goose in hope of getting the eggs quicker seems to be the way.

<Lynn> It's really sad to see what is going on here. I have not been in Jhb for 3 years. Always headed for Cpt. Had to come here via Seychelles for business reasons and regret it terribly.

<Crow> We've been helping a disabled couple in PE.

<Lynn> I did the Soup Kitchen rounds yesterday and ended up in tears

<Crow> Life is not dolled out equal.

<Lynn> True. But feel the Government does need to step in and help these people urgently

<Crow> Government and the people, everyone should be pulling together.

<Lynn> Agreed, but it's not happening. It's a very greedy country right now

<Crow> Well it's morning here and I hear stirring so cya later.

<Lynn> ciao
