Starbuck(s) is a good one.
A spokesperson from Starbucks report that because they already support flight crews around the world on a day to day basis, they will consider diversification into the aviation industry.
Unfortunately insiders tell me the board will never agree to pay franchise fees or royalties. That will reduce "profits" and cut into their bonusses........Maybe they can get around the legal issues if they drop the S at the end? Only if that's OK with you Lexxie?
The spectacular drop in oil price must make them smile though, no rebate/incentive for the public or worker bees, profits are "up", books looking "good", BONUS time!
Yes I know it's only superficial gain in the short term, but have a heart, it's nearly Christmas........

By then COPE will be in charge, crime will be sorted and we will have REAL CHANGE in Africa's down under!
Real change for sure! Things will most likely get a lot worse a lot faster.
Weren't COPE the turkeys who got us into this mess in the first place who sloped off in a huff to form their own party when the mainstream ANC edged them out in favour of an even dodgier member of the pilferati as leader?
COPE = ANC Lite.
COPE = ANC Lite.

Get your head out your @ss and once your oxygen levels are back to normal re-think that bit of wisdom.
TIA, savvy!!!!!
O, and have a lovely day......
With it now firmly fitted, I see your point of view and I must admit to appreciating it too.

Saa Callsign Change?
After the name change of Jan Smuts it is expected that Pretoria and Jo'burg will soon be baptised with new names.
Changing SAA's callsign doesn't make any sense though; the name is self reflective: A happy wild prey. But it shudders your knees contemplating that a day might come when you are cruising happily at FL410 and suddenly monitoring somebody on 126.9Mhz reporting:
"....FL390...estimating Lakla 49...position Epsek 24...Soweto 183 FL390 Southwestbound..."
7371000.

Well to direct someone thesedays is already a problem if you don't know all the new names.
"To drive from Tswane to OR Thambo you have to take the Albertina Sisulu highway towards Ekurhuleni."
