South Africa wins the Rugby World Cup - 2007

Posted by Adrian on October 21, 2007, 293:35 am

South Africa outboots England 15-6. It’s wonderful to read it from BBC sport, where England is often referred to as “Champions”, expressing a fond remembrance for their prior victory. Go bokke!

Cuba sets a good example

40 years on, and Cuba is willing to forgive and forget the murder of one of their greatest revolutionary leaders, Che Guevara. This, in contrast to the US gov’t harboring releasing Luis Posada Carriles, a known Cuban terrorist *but he didn’t kill amuricans!*

Does the USA see any irony here?

By the way, I’m back from my vacation in South Africa, which was good, and is a country strangely linked to Cuba, through Angola.

Away on Vacation

Posted by Adrian on September 4, 2007, 246:30 pm

For the next three weeks, I’ll be on the other side of the world - South Africa, specifically. Spring will be approaching, lions will be roaring, and I will likely have limited access to the ninernet. I mean internet.

So hold onto your suspenders and wait for updates. Many photos will be posted upon my return.
