I met a woman from the Philippines yesterday and she opened my eyes about a relatively new craze particularly sweeping the big cities in that country. Women are flocking to the internet there in droves because they have found there’s gold in them there hills!
The scheme is simple. They find a friendly foreigner - Americans [...]

No Comments »Just this week I was on my way to have an important chat with an organisation about a project. I arrived in a rush at London’s Victoria station and walked briskly to an address near there.
As I waited at a pedestrian crossing a woman of eastern European appearance, resembling what some would call a “gypsy”, [...]

No Comments »There can be no doubt now that the vast majority of America hates what George W. Bush has done in Iraq. Now, they want their fellow American soldiers out of the region and Bush out of the White House.
This is the overall verdict after Bush’s Republican Party suffered massive defeats in the US mid-term elections [...]

No Comments »One of the remarkable things about a hurricane is that if you ever get stuck, caught or stricken by one, it’s not necessarily the devastation you remember the most, it’s the survival!
Sure you may remember: how your roof became airborne or that walls crumbled or shook, water flooded the house, absence of electricity, phone, fuel [...]

No Comments »It’s predictable that one or two people would be in a huff after my comments yesterday. These misguided few still think that Saddam Hussein is the reason why there’s trouble in the Middle East or the mastermind behind the Twin Tower bombings.
While they are happy to berate me for being so forthright in my views [...]

No Comments »I really wish ex-world heavyweight boxer Frank Bruno would stop using cocaine and apologising in the press about it. When it first happened and he made headlines when he entered a psychiatric institution to deal with his problems, many had big sympathy for him. He even won an award for his recovery efforts.
We all thought [...]

No Comments »Whilst online the other day, a very attractive lady from Nigeria (that’s what her photograph show anyway!) added me to her instant messaging account. I accepted and soon we were talking.
Within 30 minutes, this mysterious beauty, whom I’d only just met, was asking me to arrange a flight, ticket and accommodation for her to London [...]

No Comments »I’ve never bought into any kind of government hype or hoopla. I simply don’t trust the people who are elected to govern because their motives are usually not as wholesome as most people realise. There are, of course, many reasons why this is so. These include greed, power, pride and self-importance.
You could use this logic, [...]

No Comments »Technology, always heralded as a good thing, is emerging with sinister potential to intrude into our lives. To illustrate this, last night I was out walking in my area. I looked up and into the night sky and counted around six CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras on my journey from my front door to the [...]

No Comments »That old racist PW Botha died yesterday and try as hard as I can, I still cannot find enough space in my heart to hate him or be glad that he is dead. There’s certainly no love for a hateful, barbarous human butcher like that, but I find rejoicing over his death unrewarding, unfulfilling and [...]
