Didier Drogba proved yet again to be the scourge of Arsene Wenger’s striplings. Incredibly, his deft backheel was his 13th goal in just 11 starts against the Gunners and it’s as plain as the nose on one’s face that he relishes playing against them. Arsenal were dragooned off the pitch once again by a Chelsea side that ran out 2-0 winners.

I’ve been accused of choosing form over substance in my time. Vacillating between the timeless elegance of a 1960s Porsche Speedster over a 2009 Audi being the most recent example. While it didn’t, the timeless very nearly usurped the practical. (Implicit in this is that I couldn’t get both, which is a topic for another day.)
Boring FYI to anyone concerned with the daily drama that is Julius Malema, man-child extraordinaire:
One of the highlights of the Bobs For Good Spring Ball was the video of Dave Levinsohn breaking in to Bob Skinstad’s house and stealing his shoes. The organisers finally put the video up on the web so that you can see it too! Absolute hilarity – check it out! Those same shoes appeared on […]
Jinxed, much? Please, enjoy this photograph of the front page of the New Zealand Herald, dated Wednesday 29 September 2010. That’s unusually arrogant for an agriculturally-based society, isn’t it?

ITWeb has reported that the FCC of America will be freeing up the vacant airways, or “white spaces” between between television channels, making them available for long distance, low frequency, ultra fast “Super WiFi”.

There are two major reasons to discuss the new Gulfstream G6. Firstly, there is a Top 5 song in the US iTunes charts called “Like a G6” by a group called Far East Movement.

The Other Guys, from the same actor/director duo that brought us Step Brothers, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
