Watching Queen Elizabeth’s coronation parade, friends wondered aloud who the little man sharing a carriage with the 400 pound Queen of Tonga might be. According to David Niven, Coward replied:
“Her lunch.”
Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

Same again, Lorraine
No matter how many times my big astronomy pal, Brain May, tells me that there is no chance of Pluto and Uranus colliding, I still feel alarmed. Bandwidth is another of my worries. It was only recently that Bearsy issued a warning concerning over-sized photographs and the Galactusian space they were filling. Since then I’ve not posted a photo as I’m unsure of my sizing/formatting/cutting skills. In my opinion I think Bearsy was over-reacting because if this place does get bloated, unleash the beast that will be Boadicea’s Chariot Two Redux. Continue reading “Same again, Lorraine”

The first murder
Our lunch time news is full of it.
Those of you following the ‘Cape Town Honeymoon Murder’ case may recall that Barrister Ben Watson representing our lot told the court that Tongo (the taxi driver) had been told that this wasn’t the first time that the millionaire from Bristol had arranged a hijacking and killing.
In 2007 Dr. Pox Raghavjee was hijacked, murdered in his car and left outside a sports stadium near King Williams Town.
What baffled police at the time was that his wallet and other personal possessions (including his mobile phone) were left at the scene.
What’s the connection? The wife is a personal friend of the Dewani family and it was Dr. Pox Raghavjee’s widow (Heather Raghavjee) who drove to Cape Town the morning after the brutal killing of Anni to comfort the husband.
Heather Raghavjee is unfortunately out of the country at the moment so police are unable to move forward!

Nothing
“Nothing will come of nothing”
I was reminded of the above quote this morning and subsequently a poster my brother had on his bedroom wall, it read-
“Oh, to do nothing all day
then come home and RELAX”
I remember the poster making my father very very angry 🙂
What reminded me you ask?
Time you had a bit of African Culture: Angelique Kidjo sings Mallaika
The monkey got bail
“Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
clap hands”…etc
Anybody heard from Max lately?
The monkey is not considered a flight risk, we’ll wait for the British justice system to run it’s course.
