What is with that? Watching The Batchelor now. How about that: test drive a possible spouse. And it is all glamourized. What kind of mindset does this brainwash into kids? So much for 'original intend' to marriage. This is so screwed up. But then again, to each its own. Who am i to point my finger at something that might possibly screw up a few kids that are too stupid to use their grey matter( or lack of)

Ain't that the most ridiculous reality show of all the crazy one's we've seen? Hold up, there's an even crazier one coming soon...eTV will have a show where a group of fat people will have to lose weight to win the ultimate prize.

I didnt say give kids responsibility. I suggested giving them tools to access their conscience.
I think a strong willed individual won't be affected by how adults treat them. I had very conservative parents and yet the movie Thirteen you mentioned described me on and off from age 12 to 16. Some people have to learn the hard way, but the lessons gained are invaluable. Once again, things are shades me grey.
@brix+francois, channel36 seems to have u both kinda hooked..

Yeah, we're fascinated with channel 36 but fortunately I'm not watching that crap...I've got other things to do.

Haibo, on a completely different tack- the light fitting and globe in one of the toilets just fell to the floor... The ceiling is over 3metres from the tiled floor, the fitting is still the original porcelain i.e. over 50 years old, yet neither globe nor fitting shattered or even cracked! They said this house is haunted, seems the ghost must have caught them as they fell lol.
@Brix, yebo mfowethu, 80s thru and thru... inbetween dodging the Special Branch, when they used to raid the school, we managed to get some work done, and picked up some nifty values along the way
just saw on the IOL site that Manto's position seems a tad wobbly... About time too.

As I haven't used my Mobile World sim (Carphone Warehouse's own cheap-rate network)in my T610 after all the seemingly infinite phone calls during the whole house purchase process in April and May, I've now got the 'Inactive SIM' message.
I'll have to give them a call tomorrow and ask them to re-activate it and put some credit on. As long as there's some credit on the SIM, most UK networks won't de-activate a sim, even after 3 months.
A quick mention of sport, really great to see the Boks beat Oz yesterday, even if it wasn't as emphatic as Oz's win earlier in the tournament.
And Schumacher announces his retirement, then Ferrari announce that Raikonnen will be taking his place next year.
Only 2 points separate Alonso and Schumacher now...

@Wanqa, i'm glad it went off well, boet. If that pic of the garden was anything to go by, i'm certain the place looks brilliant!
Thanks, swaer.
But you know how it goes, there's always something to do on one's own place or things you want to add or modify, but to all intents and purposes I'm a relatively content and happy bunny with what we have, to say the least.
Now it's to save up for that loft conversion...
PS: glad no-one had a 'chicken-licken' moment there ie. that light fitting not smiting anyone on their pates...coulda been nasty.

I remember reading in one of Bob Judd's books about how the average F1 driver would cover something like 100m in the dark every time he blinked his eyes, and how even the minutest slip on the track would cost him hundreths of a second, which in turn makes all the difference between winning and losing... Schumi sure as hell has had a brilliant innings, even though he doesn't blink much lol

@ da brixsta,
Oh hell, hopefully not this one, which was in the news today:
"Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy has been robbed at gunpoint in an hour-long ordeal at a wine bar near her home in Cape Town, according to reports.
The Sunday Mail said Chelsy was among a small crowd of drinkers at the Cubana Latino Cafe when five men produced handguns and knives. They ordered people to get on the floor and hand over their valuables.
Chelsy, 20, had to lie face-down on the kitchen floor along with six other customers and bar staff and waiters.
Two men stood guard while their accomplices brandished knives and went from person to person collecting mobile phones, car keys, cash and credit cards."
@ Kryptik,
there was also a delightful article about Dr. Manto Tshabalala-Msimang a.k.a. "Dr. Beetroot"(LOL) and the AIDS treatment situation on Excite's website yesterday:
