A cabinet minister?

Imagine calling your daughter a cabinet minister. Well, it seems as if Tom Cruise and his Dawson's Creek star of a wife, Katie Holmes, have mistakenly named their daughter a cabinet minister. Well that is the modern day meaning for the Hebrew word Suri, which is what they named their new born girl. I guess they were hoping that no one would cotton on to the fact that Suri, which used to refer to a feminine Lord, actually refers to a cabinet minister. At least 'Suri' will be able to change this when she grows up. And by the way Tom Cruise did not eat the baby's placenta.

Those maggots will get you!

Hi, this is not a joke unfortunately. If you’ve seen e-news lately, they have found rat-tailed maggots in people’s toilets and sinks in Cape Town, Durbs and Brakpan so far (there are new ones every day). They start out small and grow bigger depending on how much of your waste (that’s poo) they can eat. Next time you pour yourself a glass of water, take some time to have a close look before you down it. I guess we all know that living in South Africa has the odd drawback.

It's a shambles

Well for the soccer enthusiast the spectacle that we should have seen between Barcelona and Chelsea in the first leg of their European Champions clash was destroyed yet again by the referee. Some may say my point of view is biased as I have been supporting the 'Blues' from the day I kicked a soccer ball but come on refs, get a grip and stop falling for the antics of the showboaters, or in this instance it would be simulators. For Del Horno to be sent off for his challenge on Lionel 'Samuel L Jackson' Messi it was simply put, a joke. Taking a step back though one must concede that without the help of the ref, the so called best team in Europe, Barcelona can't beat Chelsea. This year and the last show spectators that it took a red card in each game for Barcelona to come back and beat the Londoners. I just hope the boys in blue can do what they did last year and produce another display in the second leg that will show people the Catalans are not as good as everyone wishes them to be.
