		<title>Rons Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WP. played a poor game of rugby yesterday. They won against a second-string Blue Bulls team but in no ways can that be good enough to beat the All Blacks. I have won my first three games of on-line chess against guys from all over the world. My grading has gone up so obviously I will have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A great sporting week-end for South Africa.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It started on Friday afternoon with the 1st game of the 2010 Soccer World Cup played at Soccer City, Johannesburg, South Africa. The first time ever that the competition is being hosted in Africa. Bafana-Bafana surprised many by playing the more fancied Mexico to a 1-1 draw.

		<title>Soccer World Cup. 2010. Where would you want to be ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I consulted with my eye specialist this afternoon who is treating me for an old-age eye problem. He informed me that he would be leaving this evening to Berlin to attend a  conference of eye specialists and that his family would be joining him later for a 2-week holiday. I said to him, &#8220;You have timed it perfectly, while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super-14 Rugby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well done to the Bulls and the Stormers who will meet in the final at Orlando Stadium next Saturday. In very South African slang, &#8216;Nag for the Aussies and  New Zealanders.&#8217;  I have no intention of trying to explain to Aussies and New Zealanders what the slang word &#8217;nag&#8217; means, but suffice to say that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australian Super-14 Cry-Babies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My heart bleeds for these Aussie Cry-Babies who grumble about the Bulls resting their 1&#8242;st team players and fielding a 2&#8242;nd string team to play the Stormers in the last game of the league season.

		<title>Who Runs South African Politics ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who is running the country ? Jacob Zuma and the ANC who profess to being democratic ? The SACP, &#8216;South African Communist Party&#8217; who cling to a failed ideology ? Cosatu, the Trade Unionists who are endlessly out on strike ? Or an unholy alliance between the three of them who have only joined forces to entrench their [...]]]></description>

		<title>IPL Cricket. The Dancing Girls.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit to being racist in many of my thoughts but I would like to hear other peoples thoughts regarding the Dancing Girls who perform each time a boundary is scored in IPL Cricket.
