Water Vs Wine
To all my friends who enjoy a glass of wine…
And those who are always seen with a bottle of purified water in their hand.
As I always say:
In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
but in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilogram of Escherichia Coli – that is the bacteria that we find in shit. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilogram of shit per year.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine, beer, tequila, rum, whiskey or any other alcoholic beverage, because alcohol has to go through a purification process including, but not limited to, boiling, filtering, evaporation, distillation and fermenting.
Remember then:
Water is Shit.
Wine is Health.
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk a little shit,
than to drink water and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information; I'm doing it as a public service in the interest of a cleaner and healthier lifestyle.

What is your type?
He/She is not my "type" .. ..
These are often words used by people who reject someone from being a part of their lives based on pre-conceived ideas of what their partner should be like.
By doing that, "we" are excluding a whole spectrum of people from our sphere (of which we are the centre) whether it be as a result of prejudice, vanity or maybe even imitation (eg. mom and dad have a wonderful marriage, therefore I want someone like mom/dad).
Surely when we reject advances based on these criteria which we have set, it creates a black hole through which people are removed from your sphere, never to impact on it. Is it possible that by doing this, "we" are cheating ourselves of the opportunity to learn, to grow and to enrich our lives, through interactions with diverse peoples!
. Is it possible that the diversity of our interactions could make the "true connect" 
so much more real and viable in light of our experience with others.
On the other hand we have been trained, especially in recent years, to decide what you want, be specific about it, develop a plan, and then go out and achieve it
. Being decisive about what characteristics you are looking for in your perfect partner, means that you don't waste your time on people who are "unsuitable"
So what happens if there is a true connect
, but the person does NOT comply with the criteria which you have laid down 
To what extend are we then willing to set aside our pre-conceived notions or do we turn our backs and say
He/She was not my type ! ! !

Omicron variant appears to be ‘super mild‘ mutation with Covid death rate not jumping
In response to: The WHO and Coronavirus experts are increasingly convinced the new Omicron variant is ‘super mild’ and has, so far, not led to a jump in Covid death rates anywhere in Southern Africa.
The WHO is calling this morning for countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria, and instead be cautiously optimistic as more and more reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.
In fact, there have been no reports of hospitalisations or deaths as a result of anyone being diagnosed with Omicron.
Most patients merely experience a severe headache, nausea, dizziness and a high pulse rate, according to hospitals and medics across Southern Africa.
However, the news of the new variant, first reported in South Africa, led to mass hysteria around the world: markets thumbed and dozens of countries imposed travel restrictions and additional checks, including the UK, US, EU, Israel, Australia and Japan after the new mutation popped up in the UK, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic and Israel among other countries.
Dr Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, said this reaction was “medically seen, not justified.”
A GP for over three decades, and chair of the South African Medical Association, she was the first African doctor to suggest to local authorities Covid had mutated into a new strain.
Coetzee called the response from many European countries, including the UK, “just a hype.”
South Africa’s health minister Joe Phaahla also said the majority of cases of Omicron seen by doctors in his country have been “mild”.
Asked what he knows about how unwell people are who have it, Dr Phaahla said: “It is still too early at this stage.
He added he has heard from GPs that the “majority of the people they’ve been seeing are mild.”
“Our clinicians have not witnessed severe illness. Part of it may be because the majority of those who are positive are young people,” Dr Paahla added.
Hundreds of infected people across Southern Africa reportedly complain of nausea, headaches, fatigue and a high pulse rate, but none seem to suffer from a loss of taste or smell, which has been the case with most other Covid mutations.
Moreover, more and more medics across Southern Africa are confirming that most Omicron-infected patients merely have a severe headache, nausea or dizziness.

This is the latest info on the Omicron variant.
I believe the UK and other countries made a knee jerk reaction and need to calm down and follow the science, not speculation.
To date there has not been a single death from this version of covid.
Do black people make bad parents?
I don’t normally use London buses. I don’t have to because I have more than one car to use, but one of the businesses I own is located in a part of London where parking is almost impossible. So I tend to park a couple of miles away and jump on a bus.
This part of London has historically been pretty ‘black’, all due to a lot of immigration in the 1950s and 60s. There were a lot of problems back in the 1980s, but recently a whole load of money has been poured into the area, young (white) professional couples have moved in, the bars and coffee shops have sprung up, property prices have soared and the whole area has become more ‘gentrified’.
Obviously most of the people from the past still remain, so now there is a complete mix of ethnic backgrounds and cultures and in the main everyone rubs along pretty well. However as a keen observer of human behaviour, my bus trips have led me to wonder about the parenting qualities of many of the black mothers I see. To me they appear completely ‘un motherly’, almost rough with their children and not at all attentive. In contrast the white mothers are often talking to their children, pointing out things from the window and generally giving an impression of being far more attentive.
As far as dads are concerned, I think it’s pretty well known that many black guys seem to father children by various women and then depart the scene. Which fairly well speaks for itself.
It’s a (sad) statistical fact that in the UK today, a young black guy has a higher chance of going to prison than going to university.
So all in all it makes we wonder if black people generally make not so good parents, or if the views of the left leaning, hand wringing liberal folk are correct and it’s all to do with relative poverty and lack of good role models.
By the way, I am not bothered about any accusations of racism. This is purely based on my observation and is in no way intended to be racist.

Talking To Yourself?
Do you talk to yourself? I grew up believing that it is the first sign of insanity but apparently it is not so bad. Only when you have full conversations with yourself, you need to get worried. It may be a sign of schizophrenia.
Normal conversation is defined as verbal exchanges between two or more persons; therefore talking to oneself can hardly be described as conversation though politicians, preachers, parents, teachers, and the likes of them often talk to themselves, believing that those who are being addressed by them are actually listening.
My friends too often talk to themselves when we sit in a noisy place. Being somewhat hard of hearing, I cannot hear a thing when there is noise or music in the background. I learned to watch their facial expressions and I have developed a set of gestures, headshakes, and more facial expressions that I use to return conversation while they are blissfully unaware that they are talking to nobody but themselves.
Then of course, there are those who talk to the TV set. Discounting voice recognition technology to change channels, we all know that neither the TV, nor the person(s) displayed on the screen can hear or respond to you. Yet, you will often find people warning those on the screen of impending dangers, while coaches will sit on their couches in their lounges coaching their teams to victory or defeat.
This does not conform to the definition of normal conversation and must also be seen as talking to oneself. It is just as well those players cannot hear their coaches sitting on their couches; they damn well won’t know who to listen to.
But the clever people say that talking to oneself is not limited to verbal speech. Writing is also talking to yourself if it is not addressed to somebody in particular. Mind you, that sounds familiar. I have seen some blogs and comments doing exactly that; sometimes asking questions only to answer them as well in the next comment.
Well, enjoy the weekend or what is left of it.

India's Daughter
Finally after being banned...it is now accessible for people to watch...the story of a female medical student brutally raped and killed by men...sadly women are still treated as sub-human in this country...no celebrations are done when a female child is born...and rape according to one of the guilty party...he said a woman is more responsible for a rape than a man...unbelievable to fathom a comment coming from another human being...but incredulously the government decided to ban this documentary...
