read the newspaper and smoke, all at the same time while
driving a car at 160 kph in a 60 kph zone.
8. Great accent. (!!!)
9. If you live in Johannesburg, you get to brag about living in

Gister sit ek enkele foto's op my tuisweb met my ftp - en toe kry ek 'n
wormvirus binne. Dis die W32.Blaster.Worm en dit val die Windows-sisteme :
NT 4.0, 2000, XP en Server 2003 aan.
As jy jou rekenaar opstart dan kry jy die melding dat die 'Remote Procedure
Call' nie kan verbind word nie en die opstart word gestop. Jou rekenaar
her-start dus sonder ophou.
Ek het die hele oggend tot vanmiddag aan die ding gewerk ! Gelukkig het my
man ook 'n internetverbinding en so het ek die oplossing gekry.
Ek het nou al die nuuste Windows patches geïnstalleer en ook my Norton
geupdate. Ek gaan dit nou meer reëlmatig doen, want 'n virus kan jou sommer
uit die lug val sonder dat jy dit besef !
Hier in Noord-Europa bak ons in 'n hittegolf - en dis nogal erg want hier is
die huise teen koue gebou en nie teen hitte nie :-) Moet seker nie kla nie,
eersdaags het ons seker weer sneeu.... Oor weer gepraat, spaar die storms
jou tuin darem die afgelope tyd Katryn?
Lorinda, onthou jy nog hierdie gesprek van ons? Wel, na gisteraand se
uitlating van ou Arnie op Jay Leno ('n Late Night talk show) is die
spreekoordelike vet nou letterlik in die vuur. :-))
Ons koerante en TV stasies praat heeldag hieroor. Uit die AJC
(koerant)
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Thursday at NBC
Studios, was introduced to the audience by Leno, his friend and fellow
Republican, as "the next governor from the great state of California.
During "The Tonight Show" taping, Leno suggested campaign slogans for
the Austrian-accented actor as "Who better to represent a state where
no one speaks English?" and "Not a good enough actor to fool you on
taxes."
Schwarzenegger told Leno he is traveling to Iraq over the Fourth of
July to screen his movie for U.S. troops.
"There is no money over there. There's no leadership -- pretty much
like California," he said."
:-)))
Hierdie hele ding was sorgvuldig voorberei en gekook deur die Repugs
al vir maande. Nou sal ons maar sien...:-)

Het ek julle al gesê dat my favourite (jammer oor die woord maar
geliefkoosde klink nie reg nie:-) sokker span hier "Brighton and Hove
