@da wanqsta: Haven't had the chance to play with Firefox's RSS reader but will check it out when I get the time.

I used Headline for a while, pretty neat app you've got there, Brix. These days i make more use of Google's alerts, since i have SevenMail running smoothly, realtime mail arriving nearly instantaneously AND my spam filters doing a great job of keeping the penis enlargement and Rolex ads at bay hehehe.

So there i was a few minutes earlier, fingers hovering over my keypad about to book a ticket to see Snoop at the Greenpoint Stadium, only to discover that the concert is 1st May, not 1st April as i'd thought... I'd be happy to travel to Cape Town to attend the concert but have any of you ever seen KrypTata aka my dad when he's upset? It's my mom's surprise birthday party that weekend, and i've this sneaky suspicion he may very well turn into Samson and bliksem me senseless if i pulled a disappearing act on that particular day

I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.

I'll be going to that concert with a couple of friends. What's nice though is that I live across the road from the concert venue. Fo shizzle my nizzle.

So the Dogg's gonna be in town...always glad to hear about established artists prepared to venture down to the nether regions of the continent.

Some 'head-banging' (dandruff-emancipating?) friends of mine are literally counting the days to the imminent Metallica tour to SA later this month, playing at Centurion, Durbs and same Green Point Stadium.
About bloody time; they've toured all over the other continents over all these years, including their free concert in good old 'Mother Russia' shortly after the collapse of communism,in front of a record 500 000 previously-deprived Russian fans on an unused airfield! (28/09/91). My, didn't that get a few Kremlin bosses going back then...

@ Kryptik, glad you double-checked that date swaer; would have been a very cruel, self-inflicted April Fool's if you hadn't...

@786KBR: The FireFox RSS reader is specifically for PC. Unfortunately not for phones.

Another advatange of the K750 over the K700 is that it boasts improved java-capability which makes it possible to install GPS apps. Hope it has helped you find your way around Jozi.

@ brixsta,
I presume you're a relatively happy 'Gooner' this morning...

@da wanqsta: Indeed I am one happy Gooner. The way they were playing there was no way unReal Madrid was going to beat them...I mean Henry looked dangerous throughout the game, unfortunately he couldn't score.

The fading stars of unReal were running the whole night trying to contain someone as unfancied as Alexander Hleb, not to talk of Cesc Fabregas. Zidane looked way passed his best, Ronaldo was trying to connect to passes which were not coming through, Roberto Carlos was being run off his feet Jose Antonio Reyes and Guti couldn't control the midfield for the breakthrough. They should've brought on Robinho much sooner.

Seriously though, the Arsenal get to live another day and who knows what might happen.

My daily trip to work via Njoli Square and Daku Road is such a joy- it's called The-Dodge-The-Pedestrian-And-Taxi-Game. The local jikileza (township car taxis) drivers have the habit of stopping anywhere at anytime, and woe betide the driver who objects to their driving skills.

Ha ha ha, I thuoght that only occured here in Lagos, but the difference is that the Lagos commercial bus drivers while picking and dropping off their cargo in the middle of the road, would be apologising to you and still remain unmoved.

Arsenal now have realistic chance of winning the champions league, if they put their acts together, they have great coherence in the champ league than the premiership

@amby: I don't think any South African would be able to drive in a place like Lagos without being mentally prepared. I've seen pictures on television and it looks like accidents happen there all time not to talk of road rage.

lol @ "metally prepared"! According to a distant relative involved in building projects in Lagos, an armoured vehicle is probably a requirement for any newbie venturing out on the local roads. Politeness is the order of the day, but as has been mentioned, nobody budges

unless you're prepared to ram your way thru.

LOL @ myself...See what happens when you're trying to type fast without having properly mastered the art of touch-typing, you end up being "metally prepared".

Hey guys, it aint that bad. An armoured truck? just to drive on the streets of Lagos? No. Actually, if you're a very very very patient person, you can drive your car for years without getting a scratch on it, but you'll have to avoid going to certain notorious areas where even the motorcyclists (refered to as Okada riders) believe they own the roads.
