Apparently forgetting names of famous people is an early indication of the brain malfunctioning, to be honest I often forget the name of some one I met just yesterday but I did rather better with this simple test.
To be honest I got 3, 4 and 15 wrong 😦 but to be fair 4 & 15 were never big over here and way before my time!
Do you’re children / grand children know-it-all?
Why not test them on YouTube’s Geek IQ test?
(You might want to have 2 or 3 goes yourself (or 4, 5,or 6) and register a reasonable score before issuing the challenge :))

It was early last week, Mrs S asked me if I knew the song on radio Algoa with “what are you waiting for” or similar in the lyrics, I didn’t.
So I phoned my mate, who’s a DJ on the station and asked him, he said he’d try but he didn’t get back to me (not enough info I assumed.)
Then on Friday Mrs S phones me at 10:22am to tell me it was currently playing, didn’t help me I was nowhere near a radio.
I bumped into my DJ pal on Saturday night (after the heartbreaking rugby win but loss, if you know what I mean?) “10:22 on Friday” was all that I said. He messaged me (during his show) yesterday, here it is …
For reasons unbeknown to me this youtube video is now “no longer available” in South Africa!
Here’s another copy for locals who may have chanced on this post but unfortunately without the live shots seen in the first video that I posted.
Info on Youtube tells me – “The video is compiled from footage of our recent touring in South Africa and includes shots from our performances at Joburg Day, Oppikoppi Festival, One Night in Cape Town (Grandwest Arena) and our opening slots for Linkin Park at Soccer City Stadium and Cape Town Stadium. “

It would appear that my days of watching live Super Rugby are over 😦
Let me explain.
There are 6 major playing regions here in South Africa but only 5 places available in the Super Rugby competition (in it’s current format.) I’ve explained previously that for as long as there has been Super Rugby my little part of the world has been completely ignored, that was until this year.
Be it politics, compassion or just plain old common sense our rugby hierarchy decided to to give us a chance and entered Eastern Province (under The Southern Kings franchise) in this years competition, at the expense of last year’s lowest ranked S.A. team ( The Lions) with the proviso that the Kings play the Lions in a home and away relegation / promotion series of matches come the end of the season.
Well, the first of these relegation / promotion matches was played last night, right here at our magnificent new FIFA world cup stadium, and yes, you’ve guessed it, the Kings lost.
Had the Kings won, we had plans for the 2,000km round trip up to Johannesburg to watch the 2nd leg, but we agreed at the end of last night’s game not waste our time, effort and money! Continue reading “Kings v Lions”
Members will be pleased to note that important news on Friday’s crucial promotion / relegation clash between the Kings and Lions hasn’t been completely forgotten or relegated off the front page 😉
Spent the weekend in Plettenberg Bay, that’s about 230km west of here heading towards Cape Town.
If it aint the snow, rain, leaves or some other weather phenomenon causing chaos it’s the ‘heat.’
32º Geewiz!
This made me smile yesterday. From my Madam & Eve cartoon strip in my daily read 🙂
I frequently drive past this billboard, it always brings a smile.
By way of explanation, three of our domestic rivals are the Natal Sharks, Free State Cheetahs and Northern Transvaal Bulls 🙂
My Southern Kings played their final 2013 super rugby match yesterday and yes, you’ve guessed it, lost. But winning was not the purpose of our foray into super rugby this year.
