It does annoy me a bit when people class Africans as all being somehow similar. There is more genetic diversity in Africa than in the rest of the world put together. This is because we evolved there and moved out in only (as far as I can tell is generally accepted at the moment) 2 major migrations. So a Kalahari Bushman has less in common genetically with a Maasai from Kenya than a blonde haired blued eyed Swede does with a diminutive South American Indian. But Europeans will happily lump the former 2 in the same category because they both have black skin. Apart from being genetically different they are culturally and linguistically more different than we are from Asians and even have a completely different personal viewpoint of how the individual fits into the universe.

It's all context, growing up where I did I got called "whitey" on many different occasions. Sometimes as a light hearted joke between friends and people I worked with, sometimes in a very direct "fuk off you're not welcome here" sort of way and others in a "You're about 3 seconds away from getting stabbeb" sort of way.

What! they came out to bat. I watched Harmy get stranded on 49 and thought that was going to be it for the day.

I think that just says something about South African women Clive. Not that I?m knocking South African women* (I know a few who would quite literally beat me up if I did) it?s just that in general they were never particularly interested in my knowledge of literature. * I?m a happily married man you know.

You mean that isn't where we live already?

England seem to have hit a bit of a wobble here. Freddy gone for a disappointing 9 after tonking Paul Who Says a Spinner Has to Spin the Ball Harris over his head for six. Then Why am I in The Side Again Ambrose gone for 4.

I'm better at getting sun burnt than the black guy sitting next to me but he would beat me hands down in an afro growing competition. So it all comes out in the wash I suppose.

So are the Falklands and look how much trouble they caused.

This was in the Guardian today. Christian the Lion

If you're around the main shopping area on LL the weekend afternoon family trade (lunches etc) is probably quite a large and relatively under exploited market. Not sure how you would marry it with the bar in the evenings though.

And now he's out. That'll learn 'im.

told you. Arse in the custard! He's made 100.

I'm going for a curry tonight and have been obsessing about it since about 10am. Only another 3 or so hours and I will be sat with a cold King Fisher and a plate of something spicy in front of me.

Good job! I just discovered some work I have to get done by the end of the day. Bollocks!

Here you go. Fist comercialy viable jetpack

I actually just made it up. I though it sounded better than ?bum in the butter?. Just read this on the Guardian?s commentary which made me laugh, "if i turn off the lights in my office, can I go home early?"

I object to the Olympics quite strongly in fact. This is because they have taken the cricket off the telly in the caf? at work to show it. What?s with all this runny jumpy business anyway? Where?s the ball and how am I supposed to tell which side is fielding? Why are all those people dressed like an acid flash back?

Now you're moaning about your moaning.

KPs just got his 50. Is it just me or does he always land with his arse in the custard. I bet England win this and he makes 2 centuries.

It is true, gay men are better looking, more insightful and open minded, have better fashion sense etc. but straight men are straight. That?s why we get da ladies. Oh yeah. Booyah! *Flicks collar up and get a bit of a swagger on* *Rolls up sleeves and flexes ?the guns?*

double post foolery going on here i tell yah.

Is the whole series up or just the last episode?

Tell me about it. Preferably at the bar in the CPT. Back when you were still allowed to smoke inside and they had Sky for the cricket. :'( Excuse me while I have a little cry.

:-$ indeed. shame on you!
