My office building is nearby a large shopping mall, so naturally, my friend and I go over there several times a week for lunch. The bustle of the mall varies depending on time of day and the time of the year.  There is usually

I posted the following on our local DSTV (Digital Satellite provider) forum: I find that the reason for replacing ‘Bruce Almighty’ on Sunday night was ridiculous. ‘Possible tsunami references’? Eh? Come on, give me a break. If multichoice is going to use stupid reasons

There’s an open piece of ground 2 blocks up from us. On occasion a fairly well known local circus stops there for a few days. Other times there’s the “Massive Shoe Sale” tent. — Don’t ask me. This time around, for the

There’s a bunch calling themselves “The European Domain Bureau” phoning companies telling them that “someone” is trying to register domains in the .com and .net top level domains (or wherever) similar to their company names, and that they would be prepared to register
