Paula Yates,ex-wife of Bob Geldof, named the child they had together Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily!
Paula named her other children with Bob Pixie, Peaches and Fifi Trixibelle!
Anyway I respect their right to exercise their choices.

I'm not sure those are as bad as the names of Frank Zappa's children - Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Muffin. I'm surprised that none of them seem to have changed their names.

I try to visit this site when I can, but some days there are too many other things to do. And we've been having a lot of planned power cuts lately because South Africa's electricity supply isn't able to meet the demand. I'm terrified that it will interfere with my plans to support my team during the World Cup, but I suppose I should be grateful that we have electricity most of the time while some people have to live without it.
Re: 4 Days to the World Cup ! - Calypso - 02-09-2015
West Indies captain Jason Holder has admitted that the absence of Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo is a "huge loss" to West Indies' chances at the World Cup.
Holder described the decision not to select the pair as "beyond my control" and, in an indication that he did not agree with their dropping, pointed out "I'm not a selector."
Hmmm!!! ...... :-[
Re: 4 Days to the World Cup ! - Calypso - 02-09-2015
Holder's authority as captain was further undermined when, during the media conference, the team's press officer took the unusual step of calling a halt to proceedings and demanding journalists ask no more questions about Chris Gayle. If the intention was to avoid any uncomfortable questions, it succeeded only in making Holder appear like a young man who needed shielding. ......Source
[I]What's going on here? :-[ .... who is the Press Officer ?

Wow, I wasn't expecting a match between two of the lesser teams to be so one-sided. I've seen the Irish a few times and on occasion they've done quite well, but I'm not sure I've ever seen Scotland play.
