Periodically, I like to be a grumpy old man, and phone in a bad driver. Do you ever do that? Today, I was heading home from an errand and was almost rear ended by a woman in a black Jeep, possibly a Cherokee, if those still...

I've been in in 1920's London for a few days now. At times I've rushed through, barely paying attention the scenery and goings on around me. Other days I've gone at a more leisurely pace, soaking in the sights and people watching....

The wind is howling like a mad thing outside! And when it is like that I panic a little because once many years ago, 1948 says my Mom, Roodepoort got hit by a tornado! And I live in Roodepoort Wilropark!

Perhaps there is and perhaps there isn’t such a thing as a car wash mafia. This is what I want your opinion about. For many years now we have had a Statoil gas station with the usual 24 hour store on a corner of our main street...

Where would be your favourite place to live if you had the choice?

This is more than just the "poll-type" question as stated above. I have recently begun tenatively house-hunting, or at least getting a feel for what is on the market in the areas I'd like to live in. I don't have as much money...
