I was flicking through the TV channels last night and what did I see? (coming fourth to carry me home....) SABC broadcasting something on three (coming fourth to carry me home... Swing low.... Sweet chariot... Coming fourth to carry me.... Home...)
Sorry about that, I got a little caught up in the moment and am just preparing myself for the upcoming cricket season. I'm sure there'll be more about that in future posts.
As I was saying, though, I was flicking through the channels and there it was... Matric revision up next after whatever rubbish was on at the time. This, on its own, is a random piece of information but coupled with the fact that the program was only finishing at midnight it may seem a little more interesting.
My question: Why the hell schedule Matric revision when all the Matrics are sleeping?
Not the best idea they've had thus far.

How the 'Mighty' must fall.
The Chuck Norris phase seems to have finally come to an end. Don't get me wrong, some of the jokes were quite amusing but it is good to see we're all moving on. What we're all moving on to troubles me a bit, though.
Vernon Koekemoer...
I'm sorry but I struggle to see the funny side of this phenomenon. I think it's quite ridiculous actually. The marketers have seriously crossed the dead-ball line on this one. In fact, they didn't cross the line because they were on the wrong side of it to start with.
When watching TV last night, a commercial break showed some new Vernon Koekemoer protection scam on your cell phone, I nearly cracked. The fact that people actually subscribe to these 'free' services by texting to the 5-digit number is bad enough. Do they not see the little block in the corner of the screen that says only 'R65 a week'? Come on kids, Eco's 101: There's no such thing as a free lunch...
More interestingly, blogger is playing mind games with me at the moment. My paragraphs keep jumping into the middle of other paragraphs. Google, this isn't funny. Cut it out. And by 'cut it out' I don't mean literally because that's what's actually happening. I mean stop cutting it out!
