Injudicious use of Exclamation Marks
I just counted the total number of Exclamation Marks I used in my previous post + the comments on said post. 25
I am obviously a totally useless writer. I apologise.
But I`m really excited!
sorry, will try to do better.... ! yikes.....
I ain`t the Lone Ranger no more
I am so happy!!! My Sweetie is coming home today! She will be working her last 3 weeks at her old company here in Somerset West! I am ecstatic! No more dinner for one with only 2 hungry bulldogs for company.
I`ll be picking her up at the airport this afternoon at 17:30.
So I ain`t the Lone Ranger no more.... YEEHAW!!!

Airline Pilot Cadet Programme
I saw this ad in one of our Sunday Newspapers.
AIRLINE CADET PILOT PROGRAMME
If you have a genuine interest and the motivation to become an airline pilot for one of South Africa’s
premier airlines and you meet all the following requirements.
Requirements: •Should be a SA citizen •Not less than 1.6m tall •Academic achiever with Grade 12
mandatory English, Mathematics and preferably Physical Science (minimum of C symbols - Standard
Grade) OR a 5 score in each of the above-mentioned subjects in the new NCS - Senior Certificate
•No criminal record •Able to swim •Must be in possession of a PPL and minimum of 75 flying hours
•Prepared to comply with long-term contractual obligations.
A thorough evaluation process by the selection board will be undertaken and short-listed applicants will
be subjected to psychometric and medical assessments. The results of these assessments will influence
the outcome of the applications.
Kindly forward your CV to: Kedumetsi@xxxxxx.co.za or via fax: (011) 252 9139.
Closing date: 5 February 2009 at 12:00.
In accordance with the EE Act, preference will be given to suitably qualified candidates from the
designated groups.
Should you not hear from us by 27 February 2009 you may accept that your application has been
unsuccessful. No correspondence will be entered into.
Why on earth must a pilot be able to swim? Unless of course this low cost airline (who shall remain anonymous) do not have too much faith in their fleet of USED aircrafts. I`d prefer a pilot who couldn`t swim because I know he`ll try his utmost to keep the big bird in the air or away from big lakes, oceans, rivers, estuaries or olympic swimming pools.

Ok or Okay?
We`re into week three of our "living in different cities until I can get the move sorted" or LIDCUICGTMS for short. The good news is that we have gotten a lot done and it looks like the move will take place in the second half of February, which cannot come soon enough.
I hate being apart from Hayley and speaking on the phone just doesn`t do it. I think both of us are getting a tad irritable cos the situation is starting to get to us now. But, it`s something that has to be done, so the sooner we can get through it the better.
Which brings me to the point of this post. As I`ve mentioned in previous posts, Hayley has a few quirks. I love her for it! She is definitely the most interesting* person I know.
We have obviously been on Blackberry Messenger quite a lot cos it saves money on those silly little phone calls like:
"What you doing?"
"Watching tv, you?"
"Me too"
.......
.......
"How`s about them Redsox"
So, as you can imagine, we chat quite a bit by text message. Now this is the point (finally I can hear you say), Hayley never, ever uses the short ok when she sends a text message. She always types the full one, okay. No matter how much in a hurry she is, she will NEVER use the short ok. Now I have no idea why, haven`t even discussed it with her but I find it so sweet that she always uses the full one.
I know, it sounds silly but it`s those little things that make me love her!
*Interesting = funny = weird.

Appearances can be deceiving
This is one of my favourite stories ever. It involves a mobile phone salesman by the name of Paul Potts and a reality tv show called Britain`s Got Talent. Just sit back and enjoy, it is so worth it.

I`ve been tagged
So I`ve been tagged by Jacki. What a thrill, I love being tagged, makes me feel all loved and popular!
The tag works like this:
1. navigate to where you keep your pictures, select the 6th folder, and the 6th picture in that folder.
2. Then post it on your blog with an explanation of the story behind the picture
3. tag 6 other people to do the same, and make sure you let them know about it.
Ok, so here`s the photo!

This was taken last year. Hayley and I flew to Johannesburg for Adam`s Christening. Adam is our little nephew. One of our favourite things in Johannesburg is breakfast at a little place called Harpers, in Eastgate. So this picture was taken on the Saturday morning and it is of my AWESOME In-Laws, Clive and Cheryl. They absolutely rock!
So the lucky ones I am tagging are:
So there you go guys, I`m looking forward to seeing the results!
