Oh, it was so terrible, we weren't woken in the middle of the night, no pictures fell off the wall, no new cracks appeared and our chimney is still right where we left it. The aftermath of last night's earthquake is so terrible, I just don't know how we're going to cope ;-) . We didn't feel a thing.
By March this year, schoolchildren all across South Africa could be reciting a new national schools' pledge during morning assemblies in an attempt to instill a renewed sense of morality in young South Africans.
Great idea, but you just know it's going to be a monotone drawl until you get to the last two lines... We the youth of South Africa, Recognising…
Today is Groundhog Day, and Punxsutawney Phil popped out, saw his shadow and declared we'd have 6 more weeks of winter. Well, at least those in the US will. I think those of us in the south of England may see summer come a bit sooner as the daffs are already starting to flower and we've had two lovely sunny …
This isn't your average yob trying to be creative. No, this is the work of the well known vandal street artist, Banksy. Banksy has built himself quite a reputation of being a creative street artist (and making a lot of money off it), and not just someone making his mark, and this is no exception.

You've just got to love the "bright sparks" living in this country. Camelot (our lottery people) have just pulled a scratch card from sale because too many people in Britain don't have the foggiest clue about how numbers work.
In order to win on the "Cool Cash" scratch card, gamblers players had to scratch away a window to reveal a temperature…
This didn't make the news in this neck of the world, but it made a brief appearance in SA - "Drunk fan tries to steal Cup". An overly jubilant fan decided that he wanted to get his picture taken with the rugby World Cup trophy too. Not content with watching from the side lines, and being too poor to own …
You've got to love the Royal Mail union members. Postal workers have just started the first of two 48 hour strikes following a break down in negotiations about a dispute between the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Royal Mail.
Essentially, the CWU are not happy with Royal Mail's pay rise offer of 2.5% and neither are they happy with Royal Mail's…
The New Zealand police have setup a wiki allowing the the average Joe to help craft a new version of their Police Act. I think this is soooo cool. This is probably the most democratic move a government could ever do - give their citizens a voice that they can actually voice themselves, and know that it'll be read and …
