Some love sweet love to take the edge off Day One of Post-Traumatic-Cup Disorder.
Olympics, Wimbledon, Rugby, Bulls, Vuvuzela, Pamplona
Sports administrators around the world seem to be ganging up on South Africa's favourite toy, with next year's Rugby World Cup, Wimbledon (hardly a surprise), the 2012 London Olympics and even the running of the bulls in Pamplona having declared themselves vuvuzela-free zones.
Victor Matfield is bound to be one of the Springboks most disappointed by the decision. He has a telepathic ability in the lineouts so he doesn't need to hear the calls, while he has previously gone on record as saying that he loves a mix comprising vuvuzelas and boeremusiek.

Out of Africa
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: "The technology is very complex and involves cathode tubes, a large glass screen and pretty much an entire roll of tinfoil.
"The operator sits in front of the screen and if he or she sees one set of players concede 4 goals (goal after goal after goal after goal), the video images then help them decide whether or not those players are good at football."
Vuvu annoys since 1660?
New official language in Europe
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
Blaas Dai Vuvu! Radio Kalahari meets Jack Parow...

This picture below is an anomaly. The US has the most soccer fans visiting South Africa than any other country. But they're not the greatest exporter of geography.
