THE Terminators.....

OK. I am really sorry that California is having such awful fires.
Its really bad, but I could not help but giggle the other day when I heard that George W Bush (aka The [democracy] Terminator) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (aka The real Terminator) where doing a news conference together to chat about the awful fires. Lets be honest these 2 have caused a few fires of their own in their time...

Does anyone else think that there is something surreal about this..? [Only in America I tell you].

The company blog [don't fight it]...

It seems there is a trend that the business world is moving towards.... uploading blog sites rather than 'traditional'*yawn* corporate *double yawn* websites... I am sure its not harmful to have both!
My company, Funk that, now has a blog site... check it out ...

Rugby and me..

Ok. Its a known fact that I am NOT a rugby fan [broadening that a tad…. I am not a sports fan]. So imagine my total horror last night when [in a bit if an out of body experience] I found myself screeching like a banshee [complete met green and gold stripes painted on my face] and even worse…. refereeing from my armchair about forward passes [it sounded good when I said it] and ‘up and unders’ [which I have to say I find enormously irritating]. So the lesson in this whole affair is as follows.. I am South African and I am proud of that fact… no matter what we are doing as a country.. at that level, I will become interested and to be frank.. hope we ‘crunch’ the opposition. I am nervous for 2010 as I think I will have to buy a new wardrobe [green and gold version]…. Here’s hoping our soccer dudes can kick some seeerrrreeouss butt otherwise I may have to increase my intake of heartburn tabs!!

Lucky... no more...

I am totally devastated that Lucky Dube was murdered this week...shocking... I’m so sad for his family, especially his small children who will now have to grow up without their dad…

How incredibly senseless. The question WHY comes to mind at times like this…..
His music has left a legacy though and as sad as this is, no amount of violence can ever take that away…VIVA LUCKY!

The Lyin' King.. Zapiro style

Zapiro does it again....

USA...All shot up....

What is with the American kids shooting up their teachers and friends at their schools/universities? This is clearly becoming a trend.
The lastest....a 14 yr old boy who seems to have been suspended, arrived back with 2 hand guns and started shooting at people at his school. 5 injured [at the moment] and counting...
Why do these kids turn to violence? Is this now the new way of becoming a celebrity [even if you end up dying]...? How desperate does this kid have to be? What a sad society we live in....

It may be time to ban guns? Huh?!

Ignorance is bliss in the USA....!

I cannot believe that this is real... are these people serious?

'arry Potter the last outpost?

I think we need another Harry Potter series! Its the first time since my teens [and Nancy Drew or Famous Five] that I have even heard kids [and some adults] taking about reading.....[not to mention queuing for books!]
The problem with reading in the world we now live in is time and the other choices people now have. Who has time... there are so many other ways to spend your time, if you are a teen or tween... TV, mobiles [MXIT], Facebook and XBOX/Playstation to name a few... Why read!? Its sad really.
Reading in my view really does work a different place in your brain. I hope that some other brilliant author comes along and gets kids reading again, it would be really regrettable if Harry Potter becomes the last outpost for reading worldwide....
