Interesting day yesterday - attacks in Al Kobar (one Safrican killed), Irac is still not sure what not sure what it wants, Israel can't make up their minds to go or stay, SA will now give refuge to the ex-Haiti el Presidente, Percy is back as Springbok halfback ... .

Q's. Now I am left wondering what actually lead up to this deep question ... .
