* The Egyptian soccer team - 'The Pharoahs' - giving us Africans something to shout about. Their performance so far in the Confederations Cup tournament, being held here in South Africa, has been a revelation. They first gave 5 times World Champions - Brazil - a big fright. 'The Pharoahs' came back from trailing 1-3 to score 2 goals in 15 minutes and level matters at 3-3.Unluckily, they conceded a late penalty and ended up losing 3-4. But an African country putting 3 goals past Brazil was wonderful to witness.
And 'The Pharoahs' were not done. In their next game they went on to beat the reigning World Champions-Italy - by 1-0.
'The Pharoahs' are the real deal, ladies and gentlemen.
* Vodacom - our local cellphone network provider-handing out free internet airtime to its subscribers. For all purchases of between 5 megs and 250 megs one gets an extra 25 megs for free. And from 500 megs upwards one gets an additional 10% of this purchase for free.
As a Vodacom subscriber who buys internet airtime from them, I had been unaware of this 'free internet'- as they call it .But I had been pleasantly surprised at how long my internet airtime-purchased weekly - was lasting these days. The penny dropped recently when Vodacom splashed this fact of 'free internet' all over the Sunday newspapers.
For small time purchasers of internet airtime the free extra 25 megs represent a
substantial saving. To buy 20 megs and get more than twice this amount extra for free is awesome, I think.
All I can say is: "Nice one Voda."

There was a case in the Johannesburg Hospital's ICU, where patients died in the
same bed, every Sunday morning at 11 am regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled doctors and some even thought that that particular bed was the work of the Devil. Why the deaths on Sunday morning at 11 am? A world-wide team of experts was constituted and these experts decided to go to the ward to investigate .So on the morning of the next Sunday, a few minutes before 11 am, all doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what this terrible phenomenon was all about.
Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off evil spirits. Just then the clock struck 11 and.............

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:
The Pharoahs, They Reign.
_____________________
They reign supreme.
The reigned over Africa.
Reigned 2 times in a row.
They reign, the Pharoahs.
Setting the Confed Cup alight.
Raising the African flag.
Shining a bright, bright light on our continent.
What 'dark' continent?
The Pharoahs.
They reign.
They rained on Brazil.
Giving Kaka & Co food for thought.
Put one over World Champs - Italy.
These Pharoahs, they reign.
Who is next?
The Spanish Armada?
The men from home to the Sphinx.
From home to the Pyramids.
From home to origins of Man's civilization.
They will reign.
The Pharoahs.
They shall reign forever, and ever.
