South Africa

I'd quite like to visit there one day. However I am concerned about the crime situation. However, at least the inhuman and immoral system of apartheid is gone. One thing I'll say about South Africa is they produce great music, such as the offering below.

This never gets old...

America: you have done the world a great service

African Food

Had African food for the first time ever in the Matonge district of Brussels last night. Little bit heavy on the lemon, but otherwise an ok meal.

Happy St George's Day

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy St George's Day!

Possum raids a bakery

I remember reading that the police in Australia often have trouble with criminals, because koalas have almost identical fingerprints to humans. I wonder if that applies to possums too. This is because this story tells of how a possum raided a bakery and then gorged itself on cakes, pastries and tarts. As one does.

Batman helps Brazilian police

Crime is a major issue in many countries, especially poorer ones. Brazil is a fabulous country that is sadly scarred by violence, and the police in Brazil are in danger of constant violent attack. It would appear that the Brazilian police have a new helper: Batman. Or as this story explains, a retired policeman who goes around in a batman costume. Those drug gangs better watch out.

Long hair

I used to have reasonably long hair. It was motivated by two things: firstly, I was very into heavy metal, and it went with that scene. Secondly, at university I could never afford a haircut. Needless to say, my hair is a much more manageable length now.

I was reading this story that a BOY has finally been given permission by his parents to have a haircut. One thing I'll give my parents, they always insisted I look presentable. I waited until I went to uni to have the outrageous appearance phase.
