Did that guy get his fingers disjointed?

Lotesse · 09-26-2005, 08:20 PM

THAT GUY is John Lennon, my friend; show some respect.

Or I'll disjoint YOUR fingers...

Curubethion · 09-26-2005, 08:26 PM

Oh, sorry...I forgot you were cloaked.

Lotesse · 09-26-2005, 08:28 PM

That has nothing to do with whether or not you should show John Lennon a little respect.

Curubethion · 09-26-2005, 08:31 PM

I didn't realize it was John Lennon...isn't he the guy who has a late night comedy show?

Alnwick Castle. Outside Newcastle. And for those of you who know your Harry Potter movies, you know it was here they filmed the scene where they learn to fly in the first movie

I'm so looking forward to it!

AUTUMN break!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Where have I been the last year!? (oh, right, Lake Shasta and here

Like I needed to be told that

.)

Great pics, Snowdog and Anduril! I agree with you, Anduril, on that one. Great inspiration. What kind of camera did your friend have?

Question for Teacup Cafe regulars.....

Why is it that sometimes your coffee tastes so much better some times than others when you make it the exact same way every time? (Mine was particularly good this morning

)

Spock · 09-27-2005, 02:44 PM

When you find out, tell me.

**Nurvingiel** · 09-27-2005, 02:45 PM

Ooh, I like the new decor. Very nice.

I'm not sure Tree Dweller... maybe it's just the magic of the place. What I do know is I need a coffe "toute suite". I hope some of that Teacup magic percolates it with pride.

Lief Erikson said in another thread that Lotesse did something nice in here. Thanks Lotesse! (What was it?

well actually the EMPIRE was responsible, if you read back a ways you will see how we brought about the changes

Having a golf course for an "office park" has it's benefits.

Andúril · 09-28-2005, 03:05 PM

And the last pic for tonight. I took this yesterday evening at 19h11, about 15 minutes after sunset. Long exposure (15s) brightened the pic quite a bit, while in reality it was pretty dark as can be seen by the lights.

Spock · 09-28-2005, 03:12 PM

..are you in S.A. "A"? if so, what's with the financier that got shot...any update for us?

Andúril · 09-28-2005, 03:34 PM

Brett Kebble?

Here's the last I've read:

Quote:

Kebble killers are 'cowards'
28/09/2005 18:08 - (SA)

Cape Town - Guy Kebble, brother of slain mining magnate Brett, called on the killers to "stand up and be counted" and not act like cowards after the Tuesday night killing of his brother, whom he described as "a brilliant man".

Speaking on Radio 702/Cape Talk on Wednesday afternoon, he said he had gone to the mortuary to see his brother's body and the police had "handled that nicely".

Asked specifically for a message to the killers, Guy Kebble said: "Ag, I don't know... my message to guys who did this... (is) stand up and be counted".

Brett Kebble's publicity agent, David Barritt, said the funeral probably would take place this weekend or early next week in Cape Town.

There also would be a private memorial service for the family - but final details would be announced once the police had released the body.

Asked about the motive, former judge Willem Heath - who is a friend of the Kebbles - said the killing pointed to a hijacking at this stage.

Barritt said police were focusing on the possibility of a botched hijack.

"They tell me the area (Atholl-Oaklands in Johannesburg) in which he was shot is a hijack hotspot."

Kebble was killed in his car about 21h00 and there were five shots to his body.

Barritt said: "If that is the case, if Brett fell victim to a hijack, then this is another strong reason for the South African Police Service to take hijacking seriously indeed."

He noted that Kebble had left a wife and four devoted children "who idealised him".

Barritt said: "If it wasn't a hijacking... we can't say for sure what happened. There are people much better qualified than we are (to determine)if this had the hallmark of a professional killing.

"Police must pursue every angle. If it was an assassination, it is no good pretending it was something else."

The radio stations ran a recent interview with Brett Kebble who had been asked about his success.

He said it was not a question of the wealth "one may have or may not have.

"It is a question of what tests... what to go up against. When you do that, people either like that or hate what you do."

The controversial mining magnate said he had come into prominence in South Africa "when transformation was taking place politically".

"It gave us the opportunity to look at the economy and transformation."

Kebble, who fostered black economic empowerment initiatives and supported the African National Congress youth league, said he had got into big industries where "many people and large capital" were employed.

"We tried to change it. That has caused a lot of consternation in certain circles".

Kebble acknowledged making "our fair share of mistakes along the way. People do that."

Heath said he had spoken to Kebble this week and there was no indication that he had been worried about his future.

"He was very positive about his future... there was no indication that he had received any threat."

Asked if he was angry that his brother's life had been cut short, Guy Kebble said: "Obviously I am... so many dinners, so many Christmases, so many things... and we are not going to share it."
