Wow, been a long time since I've managed to log on. Seems Mr Mugabe our eternal idiotic President has decided to grant us a Christmas pressie and given us more than 22kbs on dial up.............. means at long last I can actually get on here!!
So I know Nick put up a message from me over New Year - hope all are well and everything and hope to start making a few more posts again.
As for Zimbabwe - well the Cholera it seems is finally being bought under control (thats from a employee at the UN, not the state newspaper which decided it was a biological warfare from the UK.............:rolleyes: ). The dollerisation has really helped. Everyone uses the US$ here now and that has meant finally utilities are getting better and food and fuel are getting cheaper. Was a bad 6 months to arrive here I think but I'm hoping things will get better gradually.
Anyway - hope to catch up with everyone sooner rather than later!!

We all hope the situation gets better in Zimbabwe.
Yes, we got your message and thanks for the update.
The question is, without ready access to the net, how are you doing for your Arsenal fix?
Good to hear from you...

I think they should receive Supersport from S.Africa - and that has like 10 different 24hr channels covering almost everything.
Good to hear from you Rick - what exactly are you doing down there? Relaxing on a farm?;)

Good to see you Rick. If you happen to see a center-half lying around in Zim could you give Arsene a call and let him know? He could really use one.

As Rewinder has said - we get Supersport and so actually have more or less every game live. The only one so far I haven't been able to watch is the FA Cup game against Plymouth. Apparently it's some strange company called Gol that has those rights.........

Hmmm, nope!! Just doing lots of bits and pieces and now that it seems (hugging wood, not just touching it...........) that internet and phone lines are at last working again because you now pay them in US$ hopefully getting things done will be a lot easier.

Not much chance of that - Zim passports are now going for US$800 and there is more or less no chance of the UK giving a VISA nowadays!!

Is it true that the day visa for Zim ($30) has been revoked for the time being?

Good to see you. You missed one hell of a party in October. How's the backpackers if there is still one?
