@Odette – Aah! Even the unions are getting soft…

@amandzing – I hope that means you are happy!

The new thing with striking workers/student/prisoners/whoever is that they now break for lunch during their strikes! I swear it’s the truth. My ex used to manage a restaurant and there was a strike going on nearby and the workers would come to his restaurant for lunch. They actually had set lunch times!

@Justin D-Z – Yep. Proudly South African. You can’t find it anywhere else in the world.

@Amber – Thanks! But also a bit sad as we it is also true!
