The reason why these pages were not graced with my literary finesse on Friday was that I was actually working. I was attending a one day conference on Fuses and Unplugged Connection Kilowatt power alternatives. The conference was sponsored by Eskom. My black event sponsored shoulder bag with FUCK ESKOM in bright yellow lettering looks rather swanky. The aim of the conference was to explore alternatives to coal fired electricity generation. My suggestion that we burn Bloemfontein instead of coal was ignored and when I noted that East London was not much use to South Africa and could be converted into a stunning pumped storage scheme if we flooded the Buffalo river basin and pumped the water up to the Hogsback highlands, I was threatened with ejection from the proceedings. Shortly after lunch I was physically removed from the event after I outlined my plans to turn the Knynsa lagoon into the worlds largest pebble bed reactor powered exclusively via oyster farts. Undeterred I have submitted via electronic mail to the CEO of ESKOM, a plan to power the whole of Johannesburg with the hot air generated by the Thought Leader bloggers.
Yeah, its been a slow day…
