I have an idea for a new thread...

Welcome to my world. This is what we see when we take a walk with the dogs.

I'm jealous. The closest we get to that is Giba Gorge.

Hah, Yah, I remember that in the news here, it happened a while back. 

 

She said they tested it before but not with a .50 caliber, which they used on the day, I dont have words, a .50 caliber is a serious piece of weaponry, its sad but these kids have no adult role models, many of them are living on their own at 15, they have no skills and need to make money to live, in a way they are just a product of the times, but yeah, Kids and guns, not a good combination.

"Unfortunately, like several other airlines during the global recession, Japan Airlines was forced to file for bankruptcy and Nishimatsu resigned in 2010."

 

​Not sure why you want a CEO that can't get a company through a recession. He might be a nice guy, and his approach might have been novel, but he didnt manage to save the business and the thousands of jobs that went with it....

 

I know nothing about business but from what I can deduce they were busy restructuring and he led the talks to partner with Delta at the time, who was looking to expand, and was opposed to filing bankruptcy. However, seems like he was overruled and he had already decided to step down so as to take responsibility for the company's predicament.

Here is a recent article that gives a good overview:

Japan has turned their flag carrier from a $25 billion bankrupt company into an airline that makes over ¥100 billion a year in profits.

I've NEVER worked so late in the year before, and i not spent a festive season in JHB in maybe 15 years. It's really amazing how Rustig it is here, Driving to work this morning felt like a Sunday. I had to keep looking at my watch to make sure it's actually a work day.

Ironic that most of us spend our entire year in busy Jozi, and when it finally becomes rustig here, we head down to the busy and overcrowded coast to 'relax'.

Driving to work in Cape Town this morning was also very rustig with no sign of the usual traffic mayhem...........but at around 10am it will be chaos again with the holidaymakers and shoppers fighting each other in the trenches and on the beaches........best is to safely hide here at work! And if I venture out it will be on the mountain bike, to watch the mad hordes battling from above.

agreed. don't attempt the Waterfront entry from FW de Klerk after 10.00. Lucky for me I'll be heading to Struisbaai for 2 weeks where the biggest traffic issue is when more than 2 cars arrive at the 4 way stop outside the OK at the same time.

I always stay in Gauteng over this time.

Normally take the days between Christmas and New Year off and stay at home, but this year I've opted to work next week.

[Bateleur1]

We always stayed at home during Desember.  Going to work was just so nice.  Commuting was like a Sunday morning.  I could get double the work done as there is hardly anybody there to disturb you.  We could leave work early as all the support calls were dealt with in the morning.  Just divert our phones for emergencies and go out and chill.  As said earlier, you spend the whole year in Gauteng having to deal with all the other idiots around you.  Why would you go and pay double the price than in other times of the year to go see the same idiots and deal with their shyte at some holiday.

I foresee some furious office fapping during these quite times if you keep posting pics like this.

I drove today instead of riding in and I left 5 min later than usual for when I drive and I got here same time I normally do. It's only a 10km trip. It's like a ghost town here but as murphy has it we had work pop up out of the blue.

Love JHB this time of year! No yummy mummies in GL500s running me over on their way to yoga class. Instead they are on the beach posting bikini selfies on Instagram, so it’s a double score!
