    Lekker Kersfees! of laai af.

  • SA, here we come!!

    Well it is the time of the year again where we leave everyting on The Island (UK) to go and galavant in the sun in South-Africa. We’re flying out today at 8pm and we’ll be in Port Elizabeth tomorrow at about 1pm. Whooohooo!! I’ll be back in London on the 22nd of January. I will…

  • Blair will squirm out of this one… again

    Tefal Tony is taking a lot of criticism for his rebate compromise to the EU, but I’m certain he’s going to squirm out of this one as well. I don’t think what the UK is doing is wrong. The problem is that this compromise was made as part of a deal with the King of…

  • King Kong? More like King Con.

    This movie is utter utter nonsense. It shows what happens when a Kiwi directs a movie about animals (they don’t have them in NZ). It also shows how many people still have no concept of nature. I realise this is just good yarn, but for crying out load it is supposed to be a gorilla after…

Google do something similar, but Protopage is miles ahead (for now). You can setup pages to be private or public for instance.…

  • My home town (on Google Earth)

    Thanks to Google Earth I can show you where I grew up and my parents still live. Click on the image and it will open the full sized version.You’ll see two rivers in the centre of the picture. Bushman’s River Mouth is the village to the left (West) of the Bushman’s River (the more Western…

  • Things that go bump in the night

    This morning at 6am while fast asleep I heard our doors rattling. I immediately assumed that someone had entered or was trying to enter our house. I jumped up and while running grabbed my old tripod (as good as a baseball bat any day) ready to kick the living shit out of whoever it was that was stealing my…

  • Schoeman pledges loyalty to SA

    Schoeman pledges loyalty to SA I did say that I wouldn’t blame if he did leave to swim for Qatar, but I’m delighted that he is still staying!
