It is the site that is slow. Just restart your PC "now and then", don't leave it on for days on end.

ive had no problem with this site in particular. there have been greater problems recently with many sites though, in that case i always set my browser to connect manually through a proxy connection.

Richard Sedan ( andisa head ) phoned me, He wanted to know how I make so much money. He also wanted to tell me that the problem is with telkom. He is trying to get it sorted.

John, you crack me up. One of the most active on the forum (and by extension, we assume most profitable??) and you don't know the head of SARS. Bwoohahahahaha Only in SA.

Actually they tried to call me first, but Trevor Manuel had me on the line since 8 this morning asking me a whole bunch of things he needs for his next policy speach.

First do not assume that because I can type ( badly and with questionable spelling and no idea of puntuation) that I can trade. I would also suggest that my main purpose for my using this forum is to have a laugh so If I can find some way of doing that even at my own expence it is a job well done , And lastly it is only the rich and smart who dont pay taxes so I again ask, who is this P- something dude you keep refering to.

Pravin Gordhan i believe was a relativly unknown mp. only claim to fame is he was chairman of the World Customs Organization from 2000-2006....quite irrelevant really. dunno what he has to do with anything relating to the stock market though.

If one of you well-connected souls tells Bush that Pravin has links to Al Qaeda maybe they'll put him on a list of suspects and close down his Organization!!

John, Pravin Gordhan is the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Services and one of those people who has done this country proud, imho. We may not like it ( I certainly don't), but he's brought incredible efficiencies to SA's fiscal affairs and he is also an absolute gentleman and one of the kindest and more compassionate people I know. Many years of activism there, before making it to SARS. Certainly one of SA democracy icons.

Ditzy thank you, you kind hearted soul. I do know. I was just having a laugh, it may not have been very funny but I am a little rusty.
