Nege jaar gelede het Taz geskryf:
… Fri 21st Sept 2001. Three afrikaans bands up tonight. Some chickabee from 7de Laan ( a local soapie ) sneaking around checking out the scene … she drinks single scotch and water … Andries needn’t worry, the crowd packs in. BMRO first up … going from strenth to strenth. Most of the regulars around … Othin, Liesl, Bafana, David, Marcel, Natasha etc … Diff-Olie is next. Theyre from Wolmer a dodgy subburb in Pretoria and show the locals how to drink Tequila … a tight no frills rock outfit, nice to see Afrikaans finally successfully trancending to this medium. The grand finalle to Plank … they are not going to let outsiders kick but in their back yard … awsome … Piet Pompies is bopping around …
Uiteidelik speel Brixton Moord en Roof Orkes en Diff Olie weer op dieselfde verhoog op 26 Mei 2010 by die Steak and Ale.
Maak seker jy is daar!

The Female Headshaving Association began its reign as being one of the most ‘out-there’ movements back in the good ole Aberlarde Sanction days. For those of you who do not know about the Abelarde – where do you live? The Female Headshaving Association was hosted in one of the most underground clubs in Johannesburg for years and is set to leave there and hit the stage above ground.

The Spanish Superior Council of Scientific Investigations found the air in the two cities to be laced with at least five drugs: amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids, lysergic acid and most prominently cocaine.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Russian army scraps new uniforms
A plan to replace Soviet-era Russian military uniforms with ones by a leading fashion designer has been abandoned because of a lack of money. The plan to bring in the new uniforms, designed by Valentin Yudashkin, was supported by Russian PM Vladimir Putin. There is now only enough money to pay for uniforms for soldiers taking part in the forthcoming Victory Day parade.

Well … Maybe not. More than 200 000 people found out that their friendships were actually worth less than a tenth of a hamburger as the following message on the comp.risks mail list reports:
A person could go mad trying to pinpoint the moment he lost a friend. So
seldom does that friend make his feelings clear by sending out an e-mail
alert.
It’s not just a fact of life, but also a policy on Facebook. While many
trivial actions do prompt Facebook to post an alert to all your friends -
adding a photo, changing your relationship status, using Fandango to buy
tickets to “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” – striking someone off your list simply is
not one of them.
