    Lock your doors, Gail.

    Locked, barred, bolted and chained. As always.

    I'm more concerned about the madness on the roads than at home. Especially since I'm onsite with a client on the other side of JHB 3 days a week now.

    In 2 days the madness begins

    Madness began at midday today.

    I saw the pictures from Sandton, and I feel with you. Wasn't much better here. At 12:00 all the MTN guys from across the road from us walked out with their Vuvuzelas and congregated on the middle island of the main road through Century City. What a racket. And then of course all of our guys had to storm the balconies to prove that we can even make more of a racket. Went on for like half an hour until everyone ran out of breath :w00t:

    Fortunately I was in Isando today, not Sandton. Still, come midday whole load of people started blowing Vuvuzelas (and carried on all afternoon) and the truck drivers joined with their truck horns.

    I saw the photos too. I pity anyone trying to get in, out or through Sandton today.

  • Truck drivers, that's unfair. They can blow their horns till they run out of Diesel or battery, whichever comes first 😛

    Can anyone take a look at this one?

    I'm sure my solution sucks and I'm pretty sure the OP is lost and clueless.

    Your solution was fine, but the OP does seem both lost and clueless. I hadn't tried to provide any concrete answers because the question was so vague.

    When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

    They said over a million were already sold. You have my sympathy.

    Speaking of mini-camps, you can have Gutless err Cutler back.

  • Whoever has Cutler can keep him.

    I just can't see women playing football. I played rugby in college, and the women's team was a whole different game. The level of violence just seems so contained.

    As a Packers fan, I'm fine with him right where he is.

    Never seemed that way when I'd watch the rugby teams at women's colleges like Mt. Holyoke play. And the league I linked to is quite good. I'd say college-level, which is pretty good considering the lack of opportunity until they get to this league. Watch some of the highlights on that site, it might change your mind.

    No thanks, we've got another great QB. And Minnesota will probably have our last great QB for at least one more year. Maybe you can get Detroit to take Cutler?
