I know you probably saved me a bashing.... so thanks. Someone once asked me what potential I think my generation in Kenya had, before I went on to quote Archimedes and explain how we had to keep busy before Tv started at 4PM(for those of us lucky to have it in the first place), I asked him the following questions: 1. Did Lewis Hamilton in his childhood ever think of building a toy car(remember the manyangas) out of wires and cardboard? 2. Did Cristiano Ronaldo in his childhood ever think making his own ball out of polythene bags and sisal fibre - because the one sold at the stores was too expensive? 3. Did Cameron Johnson ever try trading mbotas(the stuff we'd peel out of bottle tops) and tap with our hands or breath to earn them? Before he switched the topic with a "right then". I realized he thought I had been bluffing all along. :-)
