Pothole Brigade Shuts Down

Ag please climb off your soap box already and get on with it. We don't have to say "we told you so" because it happens on a daily basis. Pothole brigade did a great job at doing the governments job but don't you think that GOVERNMENT should do the work themselves....?

So this pothole brigade filled 50000potholes during the period that they were active. SO tell me do you think government was competing with them for every pothole they filled...? Would those 50000 potholes have been filled in the same amount of time had they not done it...? You really do seem to be a bit on the slow side...

I'm from the Eastern Cape. The poorest province. If potholes had any affect on my life it was not major enough for me to remember it. If I spent more than 35 seconds a year worrying or getting stressed about potholes it was a lot. There are many things wrong with this country to lose heart about but potholes ? When you eventually do get a chance to go to another country 'Wily me" (because I can tell you have never left South Africa) don't cry when you realise that potholes are a part of life in every country in the world and not caused by people in the a.n.c running around with picks.

I mean this probably was some form of bureaucratic bollocks. But I'm so tired of the hapless defeatist whinging I frankly don't care.

In five years in the uk I damaged my car zero times on the road.
In the last 2 years I have bent 4 wheels and destroyed 3 tyres on potholes in za. The roads here are much much much worse.

Another idiotic ass-sumption from you. I was abroad several times and drove on the Autobahn in Germany as well as on narrow rural roads in Sweden, Canada, USA and the worst I saw or experienced was in Czech republic where I had a driver carting me around, yet even that was better than some of our rural roads, you have to experience some of our roads first hand else you do not even know what you are talking about. Many accidents and deaths are caused by the potholes locally and driving to the Northern parts of the country it's not uncommon to find abandoned trailers next to the road with damaged wheels.

BS talk comes easy for some idiots I note, specially when they try to defend certain agendas. ;)

If hearing about the A.n.C corruption means every two minutes someone has to remind me about it on this forum, I'm pretty sure I'm going to become absolutely numb and simply switch off and stop caring. Maybe I'm just a quick learner, but I think I understood your feelings on the A.n.c the first 100 times you made some comment almost exactly like this.

You hear about it because it is so rampant. You won't switch off because you keep on coming back every time the ban hammer whacks. Hardly a fast learner at all.

All I can say is that there would be 50000 more potholes if it was left up to the JRA.
 
This is bad news, especially at a time where anc wants to force us onto backroads with etolling!

You've stopped communicating if you know what I mean ? I mean you are no longer relaying new information ? You're just repeating a message for the sake of it. You know that right ?

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just you. Can't you guys just take it in turns ? like it's you for an hour trying to make every thread about the A.n.c and offering nothing else, then you take a break and dreamking has a go for an hour and then he hands over the baton to ponder and then he hands over later to mila etc ? I mean don't ware yourselves out at our expense.

i know I can just not read it. But at the same time you can just as well not write it because we already know what you are going to say. just post a blank message and we'll see garyvdh and we'll fill in the blanks that the a.n.c are corrupt. That way we both are saved some effort.

Does it really chafe you that some of us are trying to make others see how corrupt the ANC really is and that they should not vote for them?

Good.

Anyone on this forum not know the government is corrupt ? no ?

Good. You can stop saving us now and we can chat about something we don't all know to be obviously true. Over and over and over again.

Fine. Absolutely. We live in a free country (these days anyway). But does it have to come at the expense of boring the bujesus out of us by making EVERY single thread about the A.N.C ?

Yeah well that's really your prerogative. Maybe mix it up and offer solutions instead of constant doom and gloom ? Just a suggestion. Always try new things. That's what my mother used to say.

I will with pleasure scan the news media and post all corruption I can find by any political party if I please. I can only predict that 99.9% of the times it will be the ANC elitists featuring in the news. Those that prefer not to hear about that can gladly depart and not read about it at all.

Power to you bub.

My doom and gloom prediction is that your actions do not alter the universe by even a single quark.
