Hi all
I've heard that Telkom will not be installing any new infrastructure (such as ADSL lines, leased lines, etc) during the World cup period...
Have been trying to find some more information on this (without calling Telkom directly), but could not actually validate if this is true.

Titans lose Harris
Paul Harris is leaving the Titans and seems to be looking for a franchise who'll guarantee him a start in all forms of the game, as he's looking to qualify for the 2011 CWC.

Urgh... What a crap time of year to get stabbed (as if there's ever a "good" time). Also, I hardly think that crimes should be "extra uber not allowed" just because of the World Cup, they should be "extra uber not allowed" all the time!
At least they're both okay, but...
Seems Bafana's worst nightmare has been realised as they are placed in the same group as uruguay, mexico, france. I think 3rd is the best we can hope for, but I still doubt they will win a single game. England at first glance looks to have an easy group.

Sounds like some of it could be a possibility, but some of it is a bit over the top. Sounds like it is designed to create panic. :rolleyes:

reading those stories i get the feeling that fifa has managed to trademark "2010" :eek:. i thought numbers and dates could not be trademarked?
example being when media24 tried to sue someone over the use of the number 24, i think i remember the case being thrown out...
