I love how all the "doctors" are wearing the same exact outfit: Collard shirt, tie and a bright shiny white coat that has probably never seen the inside of a hospital. all very official looking :rolleyes: Really milking the Hollywood perception of a doctor stereotype. Here by us, i'll show you a brilliant Gynae that looks like he just plowed and planted 10 fields and wrestled with a cow for a couple of hours, a exceptional oncologist that looks like he belongs in the Hell's Angels and a General Practitioner that looks like she gave an arts and crafts class 15 minutes ago.

Maybe I'm wrong, but in DC they have something called a "dress code".

Let's take a look at the "voice of reason":
1. Sexually frustrated man-child with a "god complex" aka "doctor Mike"
2. Male stripper on steroids
3. Superhero wannabe
And the last, but not the least our "trusted" sources:

I got another one for your list!

 
One of the restaurants here has closed its doors. Forever. They just couldn't make it anymore.

Firstly, about a year ago, the miserable &^%%$* owner of the small centre banned smoking and vaping, even though the restaurant had tables outside. They lost a lot of business through that. Regulars who used to go there went elsewhere, where they could smoke.

And now ... the alcohol ban.

It's terribly sad that after their being here for 7 years, it came to this. And it really affects everyone, since this is a small town.

I fear that more will follow. Another restaurant owner told me that he made the princely sum of R250. The whole day.

Meanwhile, life goes on in the townships ...

Just finished up now, for friends of ours. In their daughter's room. Very happy with the end result.

Curious about the wood you used. Pine with edging? I was looking at a piece of oak or ash for my desk but wasn’t prepared to pay 5k without seeing the wood and I couldn’t transport it based on the size. Ended up going with a counter top and edging for a fraction of the cost and no effort for sanding and varnishing compared to a proper piece of wood.

The carcass of the drawer unit and the drawers are all Chipboard. The Bed Frame, Desk and drawer fronts are all pine. The white edge you see on the pine was hand painted.

They are used for overhead calling, also called cable ladders but really useful to keep all your cables in a beat way and you can access them and remove them easily. I call it the elegant chaos as I got tired of spiral blind and then Velcro if you want to remove or add a cable.

Zimbabwe signs massive compensation deal with white farmers
Bloomberg29 July 2020


Zimbabwe’s government signed a $3.5 billion deal to compensate White commercial farmers who were evicted from their land two decades ago.

The agreement is a turning point in a dispute that tipped the southern African nation’s economy into freefall by slashing food production and export income and prompted sanctions from the U.S. and the European Union.
