The weekend that was

It was a weekend of ups and downs ending with an up at least. Golf game on Friday afternoon was also one of ups and downs with the rain coming down and our scores going up. Although I did manage a few pars on both 9's.

Cricket game on Saturday was a big downer - 44 all out! And I got a duck! No comment.

At least the All Blacks won their 1st test against the Lions but in a fashion which I feel wont be looked favourably upon. Especially the way BoD the god was treated! The boks won against France in surprisingly convincing style. Was that really the best French team on display. SA was good!

Saturday night was fun although night clubs arent my thing. I think a change of music would suit my aging ears.

Sunday's surprise birthday party in Green Park was a roaring success and Jez was suitably surprised and embarrassed!

The weekend awaits...

It all starts in about 45 minutes. Thats when I can go home. Half day Fridays are a gift from God. He is nice that way. Playing golf this afternoon, although I suspect some much needed downpours may affect the game somewhat. Cricket scheduled for Sat afternoon although before that there is a BIG game on telly to watch. No- im not talking about the WP v Free State game tonight although it will be good to see the boys have a run around in the cold Bloem air. No - Im talking about the first test between the All Blacks and the Lions. Should be a cracker! Will be very interesting to see Wilkinson at inside centre. Hmmmmm.
Then Saturday night is our long awaited annual "Liquid" ball.
Liquid is the name of our young adult group at church. Its a masked ball which could prove very interesting if I know some of the guys going along.
Sunday is a surprise birthday bash but I wont tell you who its for in case you spill the beans...

Is it me?

Well - another amazing story reported in todays metro newspaper. A school in Dorset wants to ban girls from wearing skirts and a mother was up in arms because trousers are "unhealthy". Oh my word - no wonder so many blokes have regular sick days. Its all the trousers we are wearing!
is it me?

Desperate times call for desperate measures

A rather gruesome story about a stowaway on an SAA flight from JHB to New York
I guess it shows how desperate people are to get out of their current situation. It certainly puts my little "problems" into perspective!
My heart goes out to that persons family (if he/she had some)

What is the world coming to?

I read on the back page of Computing that a pressure group is suggesting all UK prisoners NEED universal internet access to make sure they get the most of online educational resources.
What? Excuse me? Sorry!
I thought they were prisoners. And then the government wonders why companies shift jobs to cheaper countries when we are wasting money on things like this... only my opinion of course.
