2. Charmaine took us to the airport…. « The Mexican's Lifestyle: "Charmaine took us to the airport; at that time in the morning Lanseria is dead quiet. We looked around and saw a couple of other chaps standing around looking confused. You can’t really waltz up to someone and ask where is the flight for the ‘gonnabe’ mercenaries, can you?"

An Inquisitive, Open Mind « One Man's Opinion Blog

An Inquisitive, Open Mind « One Man's Opinion Blog: "A couple of weeks ago an old school friend of mine, a dedicated atheist, asked me if I had read The Satanic Bible. I replied quickly, “Hell no!” First thing he asked was, “Why not?”

I did not have an intelligent answer for him. I have read the Bible, a few times, I read the Mormon’s Bible too; a lot of the Koran and pieces of the Torah. I had a copy of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto at the age of 17, when I could have been thrown in jail for just having it. I have spend days at a Buddhist Monastery in.............................

An Armed Robbery 2001 « The Mexican's Lifestyle

An Armed Robbery 2001 « The Mexican's Lifestyle: "9.30 on a Tuesday morning. I am on the phone to my mate Angus. As the toilet is upstairs and customers use it I take no notice of a man coming up them. I am not looking at him but hear the un-mistakable sound of a semi- auto pistol been cocked. He shoves it against my head, shouting I must put the phone down. I do not say goodbye to Angus, just do as he says. Another man rushes into Marc’s office. Ashleen is still as a rabbit caught in the headlights. My guy is shaking so badly that the gun is tap tapping against my head. I am still on my pacifist pluk and un-armed. Time seems to slow down, I notice the weapon he has is a brand new model, Tarus Millennium 9mm. I hope he does not pull the trigger by accident or from shaking so badly."

Bilbo Baggins said something along the lines that one ought to be very careful when one steps out of ones door, as one never knows where one may end up. I stepped out of the proverbial door with the intention of getting horribly drunk at the local pub, which was conveniently with in walking distance. This I was doing when someone I had a nodding acquaintance with 10 years back in the army, walked into the pub. We were both not working, me by choice because I had just sold my house and inherited a nice sum of money. Trevor because he could not find work at that time. Anyway, Trevor had heard that somewhere in Pretoria, a company was looking for men with operational experience, to train troops in some African country and they were paying very well, in Dollars! He had a contact name, Sgt. Pelsur, a company name, Executive Something, and a bloody telephone number that he was too scared to act on. Well, I’m not known to be a person that sits on my hands, so after a good few drinks off we went to my girlfriend’s house to make the call. All went well and an appointment was set up for the following day. This, by the way, was Monday."

Opinion vs Fact « One Man's Opinion Blog

Opinion vs Fact « One Man's Opinion Blog: "An uproar on a cartoon I put on my facebook profile recently caused me to think about this, again. I thought for a while before I named this blog, “One Man’s Opinion”. It is not called , One Man’s Fact”, as it is just my opinion based on what I have learned in my many strange and diverse classrooms. Although it does indeed contain a lot of stone cold facts too."
