To Michelle
One of a kind...
This is for you.
I Miss you... |
| ... REGULARS ... |
| |
For
those clamoring for past issues -- check out the archives and hope
to High Heaven that what you want is there!
|
| |
| Read
extracts from my journal. Most of the interesting stuff is there and
I am thinking about sharing with you the really neat stuff like when
I helped milk a cow that turned out was a Friesian bull.... |
| |
| Take a look at the agumbaru's corner
-- (see if you're there!) I rant and rave and pull no punches! For
all you know, you may be next! |
| |
| Take a look at some assorted links.
I will collect more and organize them when I feel inclined to but
until then -- enjoy! |
|
| Something I have been driven to make
by a firebrand lass whose email was in HEX! A very technical page
for watu wa IT. |
|
| At long last I have been convinced
by a baffling amount of individuals to document what ticks me off.
With pleasure! |
|
| It is everyone's prerogative to stand
up for one's rights, and I am doing just that -- taking on what MUST
be taken out as soon as possible! |

Well, what a week! Been quite pleasant especially for those who
support the Underdogs! I of course speak with reference
to the World Cup. If you don't
see what the big deal is about the World Cup then
I regret to inform you that you are urgently in need of a life IMMEDIATELY.
I do not mean as soon as possible -- I mean IMMEDIATELY.
Naturally as soon as I show up at work one IE window is devoted
to Soccer Net and another
to The Official FIFA Site
|
And being
a reasonable man who knows that somehow or the
other his staff are going to watch the games, regardless
of work hours, the boss
of the establishment I consult for has availed a television
for all the action. I tell you life does not get much better!
|
| ... SOCCER ... |
|
Personally I have had a dream
World Cup. Aside from the Turkey - Senegal match of course. Not only
have I enjoyed every single match that I have watched
(and I do believe I have watched them all) I have
also make very good money from hapless
ladies and gentlemen who have had the misguided notion
to bet against me. |
| Limiting my wagers
to the semis alone, I wagered that Brazil would
see England to the British Airways boarding
ramp against my boy Dennis and as soon
as England scored friend Dennis very confidently raised
the betting amount. I conceded with confidence.
Well, we all know who pipped who there, didn't we? DENNIS
YOU OWE ME MONEY! And then of course there was the
Korea-Spain match. I am the only dude who was banking on
Korea and I tell you I was the smallest of minorities. As a matter
of fact I suspect that besides the Korean Embassy
I was the only dude in this country backing the Koreans! Well, after
that save from the goalie I watched strained grimaces appear on
the countenances of hapless backers of Spain. Ah, what a world cup!
|
| ... HOYEE SENEGAL ... |
| 
|
Diouf, Diop, Diao, Camara,
Sylva, Coly and the rest of the crew from Senegal I do say HATS OFF
GENTLEMEN! You have done Senegal and Africa Proud! Personally I am
proud of their performance and it was only ill luck that saw them
bow out of the tournament. If that referee was doing his job that
cad Ilhan would be warming the bench like rejoicing under the shadow
of a red car. But that there's mere speculation. Hopefully Brazil
will see the Turks to the airport. You, sirs, are the true winners
of the World Cup as far as I am concerned! |
| ... AARGH! ... |
Can you relate? Sample this. You
are very well acquainted with a dear friend. However, of late, anything
you say or do or fail
to say or fail to do is wrong.
If you say hello there is fracas
because you didn't say it early enough. If you
don't say hello Jah save your
sorry soul! Basically whatever you do is wrong.
This situation is stressing my already strained
sanity! |
| ... HA HA!!! ... |
A doctor at Mathare Metal Hospital
decided to take his patients to a football game at Nyayo stadium.
Gor Mahia were playing against AFC leopards and he wanted them to
enjoy the game.
For weeks in advance, he tirelessly coached his patients to respond
to his commands, conditioning them to listen to his instructions
before they dud anything.
When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going
well. As the National Anthem started.......the doctor yelled, "Up
Nuts" And the patients complied by standing up.
After the anthem ...he yelled, "Down Nuts".
And they all sat back down in their seats.
After a a Gor Mahia player curled a ball into the net, the doctor
yelled, "Cheer Nuts".
They all broke out into applause and cheered.
When the referee failed to award a penalty after a Gor Mahia player
was felled in the penalty square , the Doctor yelled, "Booooo
Nuts!!!" and they all started booing and cat calling.
Thinking things were going very well. The doctor decided to go
get a soda to drink, leaving his assistant, a junior doctor in charge
of the patients.
When he returned, there was a riot in progress. Everyone was fighting
and yelling and throwing stones and chairs. Finding his assistant,
the doctor asked,"I say, Jimmy, what in the world happened?
"
The assistant replied soberly, "Well, everything was going
just fine till a sweet vendor passed by and yelled PEANUTS!"
