Let them eat cake


A brand-new contribution in your favourite online community in this brandnew year. Welcome it. There are brickbats and kudos (where such are deserved). And, hopefully, you will chuckle about some of the stuff penned down.

Let’s start with this with the skunk of the Western World: His Excellency, The Terminator of Zimbabwe, Bumbling Bob the First (and hopefully the last).

When my ISP found me they must have held a party, because they had discovered their cash cow.

Yes, I spend a lot of time on the Internet; both professionally and privately. The queen of my heart says I am married to that box in my study.
