World Cup

Stupidity rules again: Ghana played Uruguay and lost 4-2 on penalties. But Ghana put a ball into the net - well they would have except a player in, maybe an instinctive reaction, hit it out with his hand. He gets a red card and a penalty awarded but Ghana couldn't convert it into points. In Rugby it would have been a penalty try. Crazy rules.

Abortion: Raising its head again for the first time in about 30 years. Steve Chadwick - a woman MP - wants the law to be changed, basically making it to be on demand. A view I support; believing it has nothing to do with others - let the woman decide. If it goes any further all hell will break loose as the so called Pro- Life (really anti choice) people will threaten to bring the wrath of their God down upon us again.

Talking about their God - interesting article in the Sunday Times where a woman is to marry a Muslim. She has to change from her religion to his (why doesn't he change) and has to stop drinking alcohol, eating bacon, must cover her head etc.

I would like to re-visit her in 10 years and see how things have panned out. I give it little hope.

Boks: They have arrived and it is all on for Saturday night.
