    SA 2024 Election and the Rand

    My outlook is same old same old. To be fair, I’ve distanced myself from news to a large extent, but I’m not feeling that there’s enough of a groundswell to boot the ANC out. I suspect that they’ll lose some seats, to the EFF and the DA, but I don’t see them losing the majority by enough that...

    Well, it’s nearly the weekend. I’m looking forward to getting my own shit done. I took Friday off and then when I saw that the boss was coming for a visit tomorrow*, I took that off too. * Seagull management: fly in; shit on everyone; eat your lunch; fly out.

    I think just about every hobby has some guys who lust after the expensive, top of the range equipment. Then there are the guys that achieve amazing results with the most basic equipment. Those are the one to seek out and learn from.

    Not sure if it was a whorehouse in 1982, but it definitely was as dodgy as fuck. We weren’t looking for whores, just wanted somewhere to have a few (more) beers.

    One of my claims to fame is being thrown out of the Boksburg North Hotel three times in one night. We were a group of friends and got chucked out the men’s bar because of some disagreement with one of the locals (I have no idea what the disagreement was about, but I’m sure we were right and he...

    No, I’m in the top tax bracket. But purely based on tax, you will never take home less after an increase than before it. If someone takes home less after an increase than before, it’ll be due to other deductions such as medical aid going up at the same time.

    Annual increase time. Not sure what the average was but I got 4.9%. Better than a kick in the nuts. Also got a reduced bonus which is actually 99% of my monthly salary. Somehow that’s 72% of the target. I have no clue how they calculate these things, and just roll with it. Just to clarify - I...
