@da wanqsta: The mud cake sounds pretty interesting.

@ da brixsta,
It's a particularly decadent type of chocolate cake.
As the name gives away, it originally got its name due to its colour being so similar to the mud found along the banks of the Mississippi River.
BTW, another good showing by the Gunners yesterday...up the Premiership ladder they climb. ManUre only managed to eek out a draw in their match.
@ francois,
Yup, the Docklands area is just north/the other side of the River Thames ( the Poms always put the name of the river second like this) from Greenwich, which is immediately south of the river.
Much of the Docklands area is continuosly under development, and is becoming an increasingly trendy area to stay as the old Docklands warehouses etc. have been completely converted into larny exec apartments. There seems to be steel n' glass construction work going on all around the area. The 'Limehouse' area of Docklands is an example. The computer-controlled Docklands Light Railway trains now also reach London City Airport in the area, and is very close to Beckton, where we stayed before we bought the house.
Whereabouts in Docklands does he stay?
BTW, dunno if he's into phones like the rest of us around here, but the Smartphone Show is gonna be right on his doorstep at the Excel Arena in Docklands next month.
Some useless info I suppose, but the nearset premiership football club to Greenwich is Charlton Athletic, where Shaun Bartlett, Mark Fish and a few other SA players have played for in years gone by.

@ wanqa,Canary walk is where he stays. Right across the river from Excel arena. I told him about the show. I have been slowly brainwashing him into being a phone nerd, having converted him to se and convinced him to go k800i as he loves my phone, but hey, there is better. Why not get it then. Anyway, family function. Time so get shots from the top of our hill( which is asapently a mountain none the less)

@da wanqsta: I couldn't watch the football but I don't expect anything less from the Gunners...got excited about Western Province but they still managed to lose against the Cats who were a better team- on the day.
Anyone seen Nacho Libre? I think I might watch it today, wanted to check it out last week but had a friend over for the weekend who's not into Jack Black.
It's a beautiful day in Slaapstad...I should get out of the house.

That's a really decent view of eKapa that you've got there, brixsta.
Are you still planning on moving out there soon?
I showed the pic to my wife, as she's a Cape Town lass, and now she's missing home again.
@ francois,
I'm guessing Jim said Canary Wharf, which is on the Isle of Dogs in the Docklands area and the hub of where all the new corporate skyscrapers and trendy, avant-garde apartments have blossomed.
It's close but not quite across from the Excel Arena though; which is a little more east down the river. The London Arena is very close to where he stays.

Hmm..Isle of Dogs...home to the notorious Millwall Football Club.
Jim must be enjoying all the SA braais and local cuisine; hope he makes the most of today and tomorrow before he flies back on Tuesday.

@ brix, jim saw nacho libre on the plane on his way here. He loved it. But his criteria for the brilliance of a movie is based on one thing: is it funny:) let me put it this way, if you enjoy jack black and enjoyed napoleon dynamyte, you should enjoy it, or so says jim.
Listening to a cd our church brought out today. Lots of the music we have at our church is original, so the results is a original piece of work. I like:)
My word, there is a mercedes bus driving in front of us. Let me just say this, i remember when i had my first beer...it still didnt make me think i can dance:)

@da wanqsta: I've decided against moving out because it would've been too traumatic...I was thinking of moving to either Tamboerskloof or Gardens but finding decent place there at the right rental is easier said than done.
@francois: Thanks for the heads up, I've seen some mixed reviews for the movie but wanted to see it because I loved Jack Black in School of Rock and last year's King Kong...Napoleon Dynamite was ok but it totally went over my head...would prefer Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle- a really cool slacker movie.
EDIT: Ok, I just booked my ticket online for the 2.30pm show.
BTW, hope all the Muslims on the thread have a blessed month of Ramadaan and a belated Happy New Year to all the Jewish members on the thread.

Ah, the red revolution continues...
The UK's Carphone Warehouse have just announced that they will now be getting red Samsung D900's from November.

Notorious as in shades of Tommy Hatcher a la "Green Street"? I really enjoyed the movie, gave me a bit of insight into football hooliganism.
