Milo "Mr Lucky" Marcer

There is no doubt that since the government has been taken over by the ANC  it has been a backward slide into the abyss. The rampant theft and rape of the economy has driven councils into the ground, and Parastalas have become the home of ineptitude. What follows is just the FaceBook messages between myself and Telkom, not the numerous phone calls done using my cellular, and the days spent waiting for no one to arrive. I don't get it, 3 days of waiting for Telkom, after they sent me messages about the date and time they were going to install. We have been without a line and ADSL for 2 weeks, it's crippling our business, it's truly unconscionable. So much money spent on a Hussein Bolt ad, and snails pace at services, what the actual fuck???? #telkom @telkom So... Telkom arrived today and .... "there's a fault somewhere and we can't install, thanks bye" ???? So what the fuck now? Just nothing, no future date, no someone will contact you, fuck all. ...

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and before you think I'm off on a rant the truth is when you look at it from some ways off its rather funny, but it might also offer a few handy tips for anyone needing to re-register a vehicle. This week has been a really crazy one, full of having to achieve, but very little actually getting done except for a huge amount of learning. It is a fact of life that if you build bikes whether it's as a profession or as a pass time, you are going to have to deal with the government, be it the licensing or traffic department or police for that matter. This week I had the dubious pleasure to have to deal with all the above mentioned. On Monday morning bright and breezy I was on the road to pick up the bike trailer and from there to load 3 bikes. On the way I stopped and collected Nicci and Little Laika and off we went. One bike had to go to a friend who is reworking the frame, simple enough, and that went off without a hitch.  The next stop Stic...

So yesterday I spent 2 hours in a queue at the traffic department, to finally arrive at the counter to register my bike. I can't, why?  Because the guy I sold my Vespa to in April of 2014 hasn't bothered to register it in his name let alone pay the licence. Fan-fucking-tastic so I contact the guy,  and it's like dude, wtf it's been 2 years why haven't you done it yet? I been in a queue for hours just to find this shit out, now there are penalties and I can't register my bike till its sorted. The guy says he's sorry and he just hasn't got to it but it's at Vespa to be registered as we speak, now I know I'm a gullible twat but seriously after 2 years I'm supposed to believe this. Then he says I don't see why standing in the queue for 2 hours is my problem but I will sort this out. He's probably right it's not his problem, but had he bothered to stand in a queue two years ago I would have had no reason to speak to the twat, and se...

I am tired. I am tired of the very same people who bitch about crime in their neibourhood and the lack of the rule of law, but then drive through a red traffic light. Try obeying it yourself. I'm tired of people not listening, in this age of self promotion, it's all about you, but if you don't listen why the hell should anyone bother with listening to you. I'm tired of the "entitled" mentality I see, you are a useless waste and drain on all our resources go do something constructive with your hands instead of expecting other to give you shit. I'm tired of people knowing better than the professional, why is it that you think you know more than anyone else. You don't tell your dentist how to treat your teeth, yet you think you know better than your tattoo artist. I'm tired of cool thieves, if you can't come up with your own cool stuff, sink back into your own shit, stop trying to make what others have worked hard at creating your own. I...

I just finished watching "Spotlight", I grew up within Catholicism, and I am appalled. Of course I knew about the abuse, but never understood the extent, and I am left feeling quite ill, and fortunate to have never had to face such abuse. I do understand that faith is not about the men who represent it, but this is evil at its most cynical and to use one of their terms most demonic. The Catholic Church has to be the most despicable entity on the planet, to preach of faith and destroy it in every action is the terrorism of the soul, and if the doctrine is correct then the whole church is destined for a fiery place. I find it hard to understand that any person can be called to this faith and that people still attend the catholic church is unfathomable. I have my own story to tell and in the grand scope of this it is of no real consequence, but interesting all the same in this context. A few years ago one of my very best friends called me and asked me if I would tattoo his C...

Today you get a rant, no, it's been a while but it's time for to get something off my chest. I am sick an tired of posts on my feeds of older tattooed people that have lines saying "How cool is Grandad"  or "How awesome is this tattooed sixty year old woman" Well go fuck yourself, older people don't need you to tell them they are awesome, they see it in the mirror everyday and have done so a lot longer  than you, your reaffirmation says more about your lack of gumption than it does about them. While I'm at it we were cool before you were conceived, the only reason you think anything is cool, is cause we taught you what cool is. As for being tattooed, we got tattooed way before it was cool and before the discovery channel and those twats made you think it was a good idea. So give us a break you ageist condescending twat, and show a little respect for your elders. I feel love though...
