Perpignan to win 2009 Heineken Cup...

Fairly brash statement considering the French side has never done better than runners-up in 2003 but they do have a new weapon! Secret it is not, but magic it is. They just signed Daniel Carter.


USA Perpignan (or Union Sportive des Arlequins Perpignanais ) managed to seal the deal ahead of Toulon because they play Heinekin Cup rugby and thats what Dezzy was looking for in his sabatical. His idea of rest is to play against the best in the Northern Hemisphere.


A few South African's play for USAP including Percy Montgomery, so guess who will be relieved of his kicking duties. Not Dezzy I'd bet...

Stupidity is contagious…

No sooner than I have turned my back on SA outrageous political shenanigans and bang I am left yards off the pace of unbelievable on-goings. I think I have caught up somewhat. Lets see:

Phase 1

Johannesburg - Cosatu General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi has been given 14 days by the SA Human Rights Commission to retract his "kill for Zuma" statement made at the weekend.

"We gave Vavi 14 days to unequivocally retract his statement made at a funeral on Saturday," said the SAHRC in a statement on Tuesday.

Vavi? What happened to Malema? Oh wait, I see, another fool has gone and walked in the same steps that superdouche Malema took a week ago. Stupidity must be contagious.

Phase 2

"They will have to learn the facts. I am not going to waste my time with the human rights champions of yesterday.

"They must first appreciate what I said in totality," said Vavi.

Vavi defends himself, based on what? Let’s give him the opportunity to show us the ‘totality’ of the context in which he spoke at this funeral.

Phase 3

"I went further to say yes, for one another and for our leaders we are prepared to lay down our lives. Yes, for our revolution we are prepared to shoot and kill. I singled out [African National Congress leader] Jacob Zuma to make an example.”

“I said because Jacob Zuma is one of us and is one of our leaders, for him and for our revolution we are prepared to lay down our lives and for him we are prepared to shoot and kill."

Thanks for bringing that to our attention Mr Vavi but you seemed to have missed the point, and a few others, but let’s not even get sidetracked by your mythical revolution, that was 15 years ago.

In truth Mr Vavi I am struggling to reconcile how you manage to reduce ‘laying down your life’ to mean the same things as taking the lives of others by ‘shooting and killing’. It would seem to be that your defense of your public statement was that you meant you would give YOUR life for the cause, and whilst this is an admirable and loyal stance which I am sure your leader will appreciate I struggle to see how repeating the ‘shooting & killing’ admission instead of replacing it serves the purpose of your defense?

I know. Why do you again refuse to apolgise, and then have to go to so in front of the HRC. Then I presume you won’t attend that, in which case they will hopefully apply to the Equality Court for an order convicting you of contempt of court (see you in Pollsmoor, albeit briefly) and preventing you from ever saying something so stupid again. Vavi, “it is better to sit there silently and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and let all doubt be removed”.

Keep on Walking...

When I saw this I lost control of my skinless chicken-breast laden trolley and collapsed on the floor clutching my digital camera. Overreaction, certainly but if you saw the Promo girl that went along with these little beauties you´d understand. Couldn´t snap the promo girl though so you´ll have to mind image her...

Aren´t these bizarre? I love going abroad cause you get to see what everyone else has that we don´t have back home. Well South East Asian has JWB chick drinks. Amazing!



Not sure if they´d cope in SA since our booze in a bottle with mixer market is dominated by Klippies&Cola but the novelty astounds me. Buying pre-diluted premium brands. But then again, I suppose whether the bartender under pours it or the manufacturer does is neither here nor there.

Protecting the innocent...


I have been waiting on the Auckland police for some time now to lay we a factual foundation from which I can ridicule the English rugby side. Handing them a 2-0 series thumping was never going to be enough for me, so once the media latched onto the rape ´allegation´ against four of the players over an 18 year old kiwi girl I thought I would bide my time until the truth came out. The truth hasn´t come out...

However, what has come out over the recent week (besides Matthew Tait from the closet - always a good alibi against a rape charge, even though he was never charged) is that the alleged victim was young Sophie Lewis aka Angel Barbie who happens to be a ´model´. Funnily enough, models don´t usually adopt a screen name like Angel Barbie. Such names are reserved for the porn industry.

Your mom´s maiden name and your first pets name...

Premised on her being the victim I searched the interweb and uncovered a morass of conflicting stories. Lewis aka Doggy style barbie was not the alleged rape victim but rather another girl that another player David Strettle used as his alibi. ´it couldn´t huv been me, guv, I was with this fine young lass...´

I found a picture of young Lewis and must rush to the defence of the 4 alleged rape accused. They might be criminals but they didn´t screw her I promise. That criminal is Strettle. He should have stayed in the closet with Tait.

Auckland police have not released the name of the young girl (¨victim¨) and have not made in charges after their investigation.

Addendum:



The feisty four have been named:

Danny Care, David Strettle, Topsy Ojo and Mike Brown!

Now this conflicts with me defending the awesome foursome from being guilty of slapping around an ugly girl, but now that Strettle is involved, me thinks Sophie was the girl. Doesn't look 18 though. Maybe 18 out of a 100 and the Auckland police didn't feel like shaming the guys for choosing an ugly chick...

I am guessing Ojo was last...

Strange how they are all outside backs, except Care who is a 7s convert scrumhalf. I wonder if there is a direct correlation between pace and the inclination to tag team with your mates. if so that puts myself, Docstar and Tyson Gay in line for a triple whammy...

Oh what beautiful blue eyes you have, I didn't notice them under the red lights of the 'revenue bar' in which we met..!

Oh and love this. This is the shot of said ugly girl in the Sun tabloid online. It seems the Sun online editors are fairly skilled at photo shop. Strettle should hire them for his team photo...

Sing with me...


Show me the front side of you..?

31 + 18...


She is cute isn't she? Well she is only 18, so depending on what time zone you are in that is basically illegal. However, take some solace in the knowledge that she is just fine with that considering her boyfriend is 31. Happy parents..?

Wi Fli...


I think I was 14 when I swam my first mile. Not sure really what prompted it besides mainly the opportunity to strip down into my speedo or alternatively the prospect of getting out of the boarding house to try get a St Annes girl to strip me down to my speedo. Neither reason behind the escapade did materialise, although I did get out he boarding house.

Come fly with me, come fly, come fly away...

Despite my prodigal swimming achievements I didn't turn into Ryk Neethling. Sure I have better abs than him but that what you get when you forge elite fitness but as piscine talent I was limited. What this bring us to is that I had no really other option than to fly to South East Asia for my holiday as getting there in my speedo was more unlikely than putting my name on the Mile High Club registry partnered by a St Annes girl, except in the latter case it would be cause she wouldn't fit, not because I couldn't swim...

Apparently they (not sure who that entails) are considering permitting the use of cellphones on planes. Interesting idea, especially since the reason for the prohibition is to prevent the threat of the radio ignition of checkered head-scarf wrapped C4 hidden in the cargo hold. Oh, and the other reason is because it is fuckin' irritating. Come to think of it the first reason I might have made up but I am pretty confident of the second reason.
I sat for 13hours wedged between Angelina Jolie's adopted Asian brat and a 300pound retired sumo wrestler with sleep apnoea and a case of sleep tablets that must have been dropped on the island of Hanoi by a foreign aid Chinook. The combination is dreadful, but were the least of my worries.

Celebrity accused of international drug smuggling ring. Search yields no evidence.

The worst thing of my 13 hours drag across the Indian Ocean was 4f5 from Boksburg, covered in fake nails and hair and drank Gin&Tonic with more vigour than a Camps Bay pom/local during an entire summer in the Cape. The problem was her high pitched voiced she seemed to click up a decibel after every swig of tipple. At one stage she was screeching so loud in her bastardized dialect of broken egoli English and Kroonstad kougal roman, that the captain disembarked from his cockpit and did a lap down to coach class to put in ear to the window to make sure engine 2 wasn't out...

If you talk non-stop for 13 hours you can say a fair bit. Well in fairness she actually only spoke half the time because the other half the Afrikaans couple that had immigrated to Perth that were sitting behind her stammered their life story in the forward direction. If you think Ryk Neethlings Texan drawl making love with his Benoni drizzle sounds misplaced you should hear what the Russian accent from Rooiboksfontein sounds like when you breed it with trailer park southern Perth. Good wow. If the plane crashed straight down into a volcanic island as they reached their crescendo I swear to Hermes I would have been happier than right then and there.

Left aisle seats 37E and 38F

Well I pondered self suffocation using the chunder amenity bag it also dawned on me that you can't access the interweb on the plane. Why the fuck not? Can a technophile out there please explain to me why they can't wifi a plane? I have no clue how it works, and even looked it up on wikipedia to no avail. Actually I didn't even get to wikipedia thanks to all these asianwhore pop-ups you get when you use the wifi at an Asian starbucks, but I still write it off as not being able to find it...

Julius's seizure...

Dont you find it funny how when people get stuck in the mud they manage to do zero in the efforts to escape their quagmire but no just thrash about and get further sucked into their predicament. If public outcry was kicking for polls Julius Malema would be be the illegitimate son of Dan Carter's mom, Johny Wilkinson's dad that was bought up under the watchful eye of Ronaldinho grandmother in some Rio valley side slum town...

Skilled..!

The whole predicament Malema's tongue got him into, wasn't given its full justice when I posted about it the other day. Here are some facts:

  • He decided that as his days of youth are nearing an end he decided to fully commit his life, along with the life of his comrades, and of course the blood of his enemies to the freedom cause that is Jacobs Zuma's pending criminal trial.
  • His hero JZ denounced him as a bit of a scallywag although actually used the word hoodlum. Whether he meant hooligan or hoodlum remains to be seen. I hope he meant the former, which makes him a scoundrel inner city English soccer chav. (Google Wayne Rooney's kids in two years time for the image) as opposed to the latter, which is the endearing term for human rights activists who downed their black gloves in exchange for the crystal meth trade and cristal lifestyle of inner city gangsters across America.
  • Patrick De Lille from the Independent Democrats officially complained to the Human Rights Commission citing Malema's words as inflammatory hate speech. I think the pray for his sanction to be a knife fight with Mcebisi Skwatsha a little limited and hope the alternate pray of the enforcement of Mandoza as Malema's personal driver from now on more suited. Since the majority of the HR Commission lives above 33rd street in LA the decision may take longer than the honourable Judge Hlophe's JSC review, although thankfully not longer than JZ's criminal trial.
  • Malema's threat to spill blood made reference to the action he seeks to take if the State pressed on with the impending fraud and corruption trial of JZ. He thinks the country could not afford to have a president in court on a criminal charge. In a recent rockstar poll 95% of the world agree that this would be unsavoury and so JZ shouldn't be president. (the other 5% were in space, and as with Zimbabwe you can't vote unless you vote ZanuPF, and by that I mean you're on this planet) Please be weary of these statistics (we are very weary from them) as they although they include all of the 6 billion plus people on earth they exclude the ANC electorate as they were on long-leave and vacation with all their elected Parliamentary members.
  • Malema has refused to retract his statement despite the HR complaint and JZ calling him a doos.
  • Malema is a doos.
  • In fact Malema reiterated his statement saying "the ANCYL was prepared to kill these tendencies, that manifest themselves in the form of trying to undermine the leadership of the black majority". We wish him luck, especially in the face of the fact that killing corruption is very tricky. Corruption is a resourceful predator in the creature kingdom and even managed to kill all the Scorpions.
  • I particularly enjoyed this snipped from Malema: "there are counter-revolutionary forces hellbent on the undermining of the ANC leadership!" Very intriguing. So if the ANC is the majority as he stated earlier, and they face the opposition of 'counter-revolutionary' forces, then that implies the ANC is currently waging a revolution. Who might I ask are the majority revolting against. Sure the majority may well be revolting in the way they say deliver basic human services but why are they revolting in the French sense. The only plausible explanation to turn his hogcrap into anything sensible would be that the revolution he refers to is the corruption drive of the minority of the majority power which just also happens to be the head of the party.
  • Maybe it is unfair to lump the ANCYL with the ANC then. Shame, damage done though.
  • The coup de grace (since we're embroiled in revolutionary nomenclature) of Malema was this "the remarks were in the interests of freedom and democracy".
  • Conclusion: Someone needs to explain to Julius the meaning of these words, freedom and democracy. I am away so have a very far pressing interests but would suggest maybe the Preamble of the Constitution. Crumbs, whilst he is there he might as well peruse the whole document.

I look forward to Malema's keynote speech next week when he headlines the Previously Disadvantaged Indaba that is being held in Beijing, I mean Queenstown, I mean Chinatown...

Giving it everything...
F me: Traffic Department 1 Rockstars 0...

When I saw Ironman I was pretty set on getting that suit. I placed the order immediately. Looking forward to it. I phrase everything in the alternative in case the court doesn´t take my side so I also ordered an Audi R8 for a laugh and a giggle...Except after the Guv sent this in this morning I don´t think I want the car...

Check these out. Also got a spreadsheet showing where they are in the country but will post it later...

ANC youth league president Julius Malema has vowed the youth of South Africa would die in supporting ANC president Jacob Zuma!

Well you know what they say about a fool and their life being easily parted. Although the article published in The Star (I am in jozi boet) this morning isn´t very accurate.

The inaccuracy of the article lies in two possible areas, firstly by the youth of the country young Juilius I assume only means the youth in the context not extending beyond the scope of the ANCYL, and secondly that in the event that the eponymic Julieye is referring to the youth of SA in its entirety the article is wrong as it means to read ´would die because of ANC...´!

The direct quote: ¨We are prepared to die for Zuma! We are prepared to take up arms and kill for Zuma. Apparently the crowded laughed and clapped...¨

He also went on to say that those (referring to current people in positions of authority within the party) who had said they would not be available for positions in the new government should leave now...

Forever young, I want to be forever young...

Obviously you are not very familiar with how service delivery works there hey big guy. You certainly strike me as a talented young mind there Malema, I look forward to your transition to seniority... Fool! Who do you think will take over the jobs of Alex Erwin and the other two cabinet ministers who have chosen to step down when they do? Maybe a youth league fool? That would convenient hey dude...?


On this concept of youth, can I just get some clarity in this regard because looking at your picture in the Burger today (other side of jozi boet) you look older than Ricky Januarie does. Strange...

Zuma was present at the time and later delivered a speech, saying “we are not going to make the ANC a haven for hooligans and criminals,” without referring specifically to Malema.

Well good point there Jacobs, except lets me honest, you can´t make something the same thing twice...

Childish and over 18...

I randomly found this on the interweb. Okay that is a lie, this guy I knew emailed me about it asking if I could get him one when I went overseas next week. I said to him, ¨Judge Hlophe, I am not getting you another fuckin beerbong, even if it does make your usual funnel seem rather prehistoric...¨

What I love about gadgets like these is that they are blatantly contradictory. To be old enough to use it for it´s intended purpose you have to be over 18 (21 in the USA) but to actually want one to string up in your shed you have to be at least 11 years old.


The Octobong: Childish...
Quandary..?

So the trickiest thing on your life agenda right now might not extended further than whether to pvr ´The wrap from downunder´ and watch whatever Euro 2008 game is on or watch the Wrap live and catch the football highlites.

However, some of you might have the unassailable quandary of whether to join every undergraduate student in the western cape at the handgrenade queue at the tiger top bar tonight or to attend the mixology-brandhouse event at Bloomsbury. Very tricky.

Doing it with his eye closed...

Well relax, everything will fall into place, however there is light at the end of your tunnel as your weekend is mapped out for you.

Saturday 14th June:
09h35 All Blacks v England
12h05 Australia v Ireland
15h00 Springboks v Wales
21h10 Argentina v Scotland...

Well pasted it?

Oh wait there is more. The IRB Pacific Nations Cup is on the go, the IRB u20 World Championships is happening, it is the semi-finals of the Top14 French league and the play-off finals of the Pro D2 French league that is only interesting because it is one of the most lucrative club leagues in the world and certainly the one with the most medium attention.

Then obviously there is the Euro 2008 football, which is getting interesting as play-off spots are fought for, plus you have the added bonus of the knowledge that England can´t win. Test match cricket is starting. Monday is a public holiday...oh...and Tiger Woods is back for a Major.

Lovely...

Happy Thursday ...

On my way to the new Vida e Caffe in Seapoint (coffee just tastes better when you're drinking with God's chosen tribe) this morning I happened to saunter past Exclusive Books. I quickly nipped in to check if there was anything I hadn't read. And yes, I both nip and saunter.


After being emphatically hit on by the cute blonde girl behind the counter, I happened to notice something rather odd. It seems the new James Bond
movie "The Quantum of Solace" has been turned into a book. Bizarre. I know. From what we hear though it has cut-out photo's of Olga (Kurylenko in case you weren't sure) in it. For when she's away on shoots of course.


You´re wrong..! And sick...

Much is being said about this new series Californication where Hank Moody played by the ex-X-files David Whatshisname guy. It is pretty funny but that is not what I want to point out. What I do want to point out is Madeline Zima.

In the show she is the 16 year old daughter of the Moody´s ex-wife´s new husband. If you think that is a mouthful just be thankful I didn´t point out that Moody wasn´t actually ever married to his ´ex-wife´ so that makes her only the mother of his child. Back to the daughter.


I keep reading how everyone thinks Zima (the actress) is so damn hot. Basically she isn´t and can´t even be considered hot, and if you try justify her hottest from her flirty school girl on screen demeanour I remind you she is only 16 on screen. Hence if you think she is hot, then you´re sick, unless you´re younger than 18 which just renders you without taste in women, and any 18 year old who doesn´t know a hot chick when he sees one is also sick. Therefore hot equals sick either way.

The ugly wench is also Grace Sheffield from the Nanny and if you remember that (you won´t if you´re younger than 18) her annoying voice should make her unattractive regardless.

Survivor: Antarctica
So you're stuck on one of the most desolated places on the face of the planet and you get to choose one thing to take with you. Food? Firelighters maybe? Rope and a toothbrush ... oh no, wait I've got it - I'll take 16 500 condoms please. And a um, a pack of gum - no, not that one, the strawberry ... just give it here, keep the change - and then rush out of Pick and Pay with 4 trolleys full of extra-large magnums. Just like that. That's how a real man would do it.


... It might get a little lonely out here

If you're Bill Henriksen, the manager of the the McMurdo base in the Antarctic over the 2 month 'dark' season you'd just get them delivered for your 125 staff members. Because, according to Bill "everyone kinda knows everyone else and it gets a little uncomfortable". I'll bet it does Bill. Especially because, and I'm no math genius here, but that works out at around 130 condoms each, for TWO months. That's twice a day, three if you're lucky. What sort of science experiment is this?


Oh no, wait - I've seen this one. Now, I have some experiments of my own to go perform.

Sms conversation...

Two reasons behind this. After my open vaunt on the SA rugby media and Pieter D earlier this week I meant to post PD´s starting Springbok 22 for his career kick off v Wales tomorrow. I didn´t. Reason 2 - I had a study break this morning so sent out a few smses.

Autography signing session: Dros, Plein Centre, Bloemfontein. 15h00-17h00 Saturday 7 June.

Reason 1:

Springboks: 15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 Tonderai Chavhanga, 13 Adrian Jacobs, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Butch James, 9 Bolla Conradie, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Juan Smith, 6 Luke Watson, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Brian Mujati, 2 John Smit (captain), 1 Gürthro Steenkamp.
Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Victor Matfield, 19 Danie Rossouw, 20 Ruan Pienaar, 21 Peter Grant, 22 Percy Montgomery.

Reason 2:

GH#12: Hey PD. Just wanted to say good luck for saturday, big moment eh? Saw your chosen 22. Ambitious. Out of interest what was the response to your selections at 15, 13, 9, 6 and 5? GH12

PD: Hey Gav. Good luck with your exams. Did cop a bit of flack for those selections, but hey you know me, form is what it is all about! Those guys were picked on recent form? P.

That was a pretty brave response, but unfortunately I ran out of study break time otherwise would have replied! This is what I would have said:

Are you stark raving out of your fuckin mind! FORM? If form is your reason then where the fuck are Kankowski and Steyn??? Did you watch the super 14 at all?

Grootvlei Prison, Bloemfontein: Inmate recreation time 7 June; 15h00-17h00.

Ruck-by...


I am so abhorrently affected by every sports page in SA media that my stomach involuntary convulses every time I just see a headline about the world champion´s pending test against the Welsh.

Furthermore, a conversation with an erudite rockstar reader friend of mine yesterday yielded an interesting point regarding sport reporting in the Western Cape. He pointed out that since the Cape Times has a history of liberal thought and provocative journalism they publish every article from the perspective of controversy, created or otherwise. My old favourite Ashfrak is the watermark of awful rugby opinion. He somehow twists any news snippet into a 3rd force conspiracy mainly implying a glass ceiling holding down black players, coaches and writers.

Lovely, Ash, now please try substantiate how from your discovery that all the Sharks players in the Springbok camp drink only from the orange energade bottles you proposition that Earl Rose is being held back from his professional stardom based purely on the colour of his skin rather than the fact that he weighs 62kg and openly mixture brandewyn with his powerade before the Lions v Hurricans game?

Everyone around me has a big break, where is mine?

Sorry I digress, the major sports gripe that has squeezed me by the balls over the last two weeks is how every rugby writer insists on giving the team he thinks Pieter D will announce today. It has been the source of much annoyance for me that these little fuckers get paid to sit in and watch the Boks practice and then based on who is holding contact shields formulate their prospective starting 15. No wonder they end up writing conspiracy articles.

Well, fuck em, I am joining in. Here is the most probable side PD will announce today. I base this purely on form throughout recent times:

15 Tiger Mangweni - Back of the Vodacom Cup virtually plus loads of experience.
14 JP Pietersen - form irrelevant he has a RWC medal
13 Adi Jacobs - shows he has the mettle to step up for big games, like the Super 14 semi final.
12 Earl Rose - Thinking like the Kiwis here. Every good flyhalf should be able to play first-5 plus an additional pivot takes pressure off 10.
11 An Ndungane - Picks himself
10 Isma-eel Dollie - VC
9 Bolla Conradie - we are in a crisis here, but he was far better than Kockott in the S14, made far fewer errors, and starts...
8 Ashley Johnson - Great Brain.
7 Hylton Lobberts - Less Yellow cards than Schalk.
6 Schalk Brits - need a fetcher.
5 Ross Skeate - The tall timber.
4 Johan Ackerman - The old timber.
3 Ollie Le Roux - I don´t pick foreign home based players so no Beast.
2 Luke Watson - best black hooker we have.
1 Oregan Hoskins - loosest head in the world...

And in other news...

How main would it be to be so good at what you do that your employer bends the rules for you. The New Zealand Rugby Union and Graham Henry have a strict policy that doesn´t allow foreign based players to play for the All Blacks. Unless you are the world´s best. Danny Carter is allowed to go on a sabbatical next year.


He can play overseas instead of winning another Super 14 for the Crusaders and can then return to play in the Tri-nations. The powers that be that grant such an allowance will do so on the determination of the following factors: the number of tests he has played and the commitment he has shown to the country! Strangely they omit how fuckin good he is as a criteria!

I do find this hilarious but am actually not criticising it. It is a far more progressive approach and I think it is a great idea. This compared to say, making a black and white ban after all your RWC winners sign overseas contracts, and then revoking the ban momentarily before reinstating it subject to the provisio that the coach can only choose 4 players. That is not progressive in the least...

This weekends games:


All Blacks v Ireland 09h35 SA time.
Springboks v Wales 15h00 SA time.

Lightning Bolt...

I have discarded any speculation that the people that pay for me to study for me degree also paid the people that host this site to render themselves inoperative whilst I write my exams. However, I chose to take it as a sign and not post..right up until this happened and I could wait no longer.

What is 6f 5in, 21 years of age, is Jamaican and can cover 100metres quicker than any man on earth? Meet the Usain ´Lightning´ Bolt. (I don´t think it is his official nickname but now that we have ordained him it should surely stick)


In New York over the weekend, Bolt broke the 100m record by clocking 9,72s, two hundredths of a second faster than Asafa Powell´s old record. Not only is this a friggan startling performance, but Tyson Gay also ran in that race, and Gay is highly regarded as sprintings next best thing.

What´s astounding in the fact that Bolt is such a stringy fucker. At 6f 5 he towers over the long Docstar, and is even slightly quicker. When Bolt was 17 ran the 200m in a remarkable 19,93s and won the silver medal in the event at the most recent World Champs.

Another funny little story about Bolt is that; ´Bolt's coach, Glen Mills, wanted him to run 400 metres rather than 100-metre races this year in preparation for the Olympic 200-metre event in Beijing, but Bolt hates the longer distance, and when Mills said he could run 100 metres if he beat the Jamaican 200-metre record, his athlete duly obliged.´

Great vision Glen. Are you and Pieter De Villiers facebook friends? Apparently, over the weekend is less than ideal wet conditions, upon realising he would cross the line in first place Bolt raised his arms instead of running through the line, raising speculation over whether the youngster can in fact run faster.

Fairly serious prospect..! Tibet can wait, bring on Beijing..!

Today´s Monday Girl...



For some unfathomable reason our posting host as been as efficient as service delivery from African governments. I think it has been studying for interweb exams. Fair enough excuse...
Last Monday´s Girl...

Finally we are back...
We´re back...


Just wanted to share our joy of being back online! Hi 5, low 5...whatever...
