Z$100bn note that will barely cover the price of a loaf.absolutely amazing.

The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.

Bloody ridiculous is a phrase which springs to mind!!

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

I actually could not spring an appropriate phrase to mind.

 

Those numbers are as hard to understand as the depth of the Grand Canyon when looking down from the rim or the size of a neutron.

 

Impossible for anyone to work for a wage since a large pay raise in the morning would be totally inadequate by lunch time.

I'd love to get hold of one of those, just to add it to our display of foreign bank notes.

Blimey - I wouldn't mind one, but not £40's worth of not minding one :D

On a more serious note, it helps you understand why Mugabe's thugs are quite so active in their brutalising of white farmers... why work for nothing when you can take what you want for a little physical intimidation?

 

I also wonder what Thabo Mbeki thinks he's achieved with his 'quiet diplomacy'. The cynic in me would like to see if Mubage diverted much cash to Mbeki's bank accounts in Switzerland - allegedly.

This is a signature, there are many signatures like it but this one is mine

It just makes my blood boil to think that someone who led the overthrow of the oppressive colonial masters has systematically destroyed the very country that he purported to save. He has completely betrayed the people of Zimbabwe and he and his cronies will do anything, repeat anything, to stay in power. I have no faith at all in the current talks - I believe that its just a white wash and a sop to African leaders. The military leaders that surround Mugabe will never let him stand down as they will then be exposed to prosecution in the Internatinal Court of Justice for the crimes against humanity that they have committed in the name of freedom. :angry::angry::angry:
