CSI new york is on as I type this...

Nutty_ZA is M-Net still around over there? And E-TV (I think that's what it was called)?

As sad as this may sound, I still miss Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives and Egoli

I actually meant that M-Net was subscription... ETV is still free (that's 'cos it shows Films made anywhere between 1920 and 1980 nothing later than that)

My wife is from Zim originally too...

aaahhh okay, well thatÂ’s okay then cause the E-TV wasnÂ’t that good to start with

i seem to be meeting loads of Zim ppl all over the place. have a few that i work with and more that i have bumped in to thru other ppl here.

going back to the subject of TV, i just saw a repeat episode of 'Charmed' ... was actually a good one

Nope it isn't ... but at least it's better than SABC... actually, don't watch TV too much if I can find something better to do (which I usually can)

I would imagine there are many many Zimbabweans living abroad... I cannot imagine anyone wanting to stay there anymore... sad really tho, since it's also a beatiful country...

Ahhh Charmed, my 8 year old daughters favourite progam... altho I must admit I quite had the Hots for Rose McGowan ....

I know you asked me in another thread where in SA I live... I've just recently moved from Midrand to a Small Holding in Benoni... work In Sandton...

i think by the time we moved (+/- early 80's) it was getting very bad. i remember my dad once telling me that we, my family and i, were going on holiday to Durban and there were queues of other ppl trying to get out of the country but we had to be escorted out by the army.

i agree it is beatiful and a shame that nothing can be done to get it on the right path again

If you want to keep up with SA News www.news24.com is a good South African news site... has a lot of intl news as well as local South African...

P.S. I hope I'm allowed to post links to other sites in here :?:

What did you used to do at CNA? I've been working here for the last 8 years, so may have even bumped into you and not known it
