0 Comments Budget Insurance having a laugh

Article written by the majestic Sean Lloyd on the 19 Feb 2008

This is the perfect article to quickly write up before I go to the beach, or a party this afternoon or whatever we have planned.

Budget Insurance have caught my attention with some sort of advert that I found lying around the house waiting to be thrown into the fire. So anyway I scroll through the advert and go to the back page where it says:

Did you know? A florist based in Bloemfontein could pay as little as R986 for business insurance that covers: theft, money loss, cell phones la la la la shut up!

Ha ha ha! Whaaaaaa!

Let’s look at this logically. Do you think there are actually any flowers in Bloemfontein, let alone florists? Did it ever occur to you why the insurance could be this low? Because there is no need to insure a florist in Bloemfontein! “Drought” is another word for Bloemfontein. So is “boring”.

And anyway, people in Bloemfontein are not is being giving presents like this. People in Bloemfontein give away Massey Ferguson tractors to friends for their birfdays. Their wives get John Deere combine harvesters for their anniversaries. For golden anniversaries windmills are sometimes given. To illustrate my point, please click HERE, and you don’t even have to read the article entitled “Bloemfontein invests in its young entrepeneurs” Just scroll down to the photo of the people just lamming on their trakker! It’s too beautiful for words!

It’s a green trakker so it’s probably a John Deere trakker! What also caught my attention is that our BEE boys have just quietly decided to rename Bloemfontein “Manguang” WTF? Why? Why do we have to change the names of everything? Apartheid is always going to be associated with SOUTH AFRICA. If you have such a problem with something that the youth of today had no control over, then change the name of South Africa. Call it Manguang or whatever you want to. It’s getting pathetic now guys, you are being stupid.

How about we really sort things out and kick JZ out, and Tshabalala Msimang. I’m losing the plot here, sorry. Why don’t we stop messing around with building earth wrecking coal fired power stations and invest in renewable energy? Sorry…losing it again.

It’s just really irritating sometimes.

But that’s it. Budget Insurance have managed to make my day. Ha ha a florist in Bloemfontein. Have you ever?!

What a STUNNING place.
