Not much to say

A strange thing just happened.
This morning, I logged in and my ABOUT page was fine.
When I logged in now... Everything I spotlighted was gone.
I was just wondering if other users had the same thing happen to them...
Well, it's not a train smash... I think I'll survive
Perhaps it's just the Opera Monkeys going wild

Well, it seems to me that I've been wasting my time reading those boring, old Driving Manuals.
Someone mailed me some useful tips for driving on the streets of Johannesburg.
Now... these are the things I need to learn.
Hey, I think I'll try THESE out on my Driving Instructor



BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN GAUTENG

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real
Gauteng driver never uses them.

2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance
between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be
filled by two Golfs, a BMW and an Uno, putting you in an even more
dangerous situation.

3. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller
the chance you have of getting hit.

4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No
one expects it and it will only result in you being rear-ended.

5. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to
ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving you a nice, relaxing foot
massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS,
it's a chance to stretch your legs.

6. Never pass on the right when you can pass on the left.
It's a good way to check if the people entering the highway are
awake.

7. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a guideline.
They are especially not applicable in Gauteng during rush hour.
That's why it's called 'rush hour...'.

8. Just because you're in the right lane and have no room
to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Gauteng driver
flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

9. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even
someone changing a tire. Never stop to help - you will be mugged.

10. Learn to swerve abruptly. Gauteng is the home of the high-speed
slalom driving thanks to the Metro Police Department, which puts
holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them
on their toes.

11. It is traditional in Gauteng to honk your horn at cars that
don't move the instant the light turns green. This prevents
storks from building nests on top of the traffic light and minahs
from making deposits on your car.

12. Remember that the goal of every Gauteng driver is to get there
first by whatever means necessary.

13. In the Gauteng area, "flipping someone the bird" is considered
a polite Gauteng salute. This gesture should always be returned.

14. On average, at least three cars can still go through an
intersection after the light has turned red.
It's people not adhering to this basic principal that causes the big traffic jams!
