On 5 April, 1856, one Alexander Anderson was sent to prison for a term of 12 months, for an unknown crime. Because Pretoria had no prison at that stage, Anderson was ordered to build a prison himself. After a few months he had completed the work, and was released on account of good conduct.

Pitfalls of working with others…
To expect your team to win is fine but you would never place unrealistic expectations on them. Picture this… before the big game you decide that after half time your heroes are going to swap roles with the streakers and spontaneously remove their kit, some will even help each other strip as the game resumes. This fantasy leads to disappointment, naturally.                  (2011)

Peculiar people peculiar to a peculiar time. Who are we today? Which peculiarities are we letting slip by unhindered? While we sleep the people we elect to govern us not only plot to work our families to the bone but also consider what type of fertiliser our remains will make. The world has not changed much. Our masters, g_ds and own stupidities still have us by the balls. I don’t go for hoping or praying but I do wish that the future holds a looser grip. We all deserve at least the opportunity to create a less predictable existence. Or do we?                                                                        (2009)
