Hi Kris,

Thanks.

Was it a kawaida debit/ATM card or was it a credit card?

I ask this because most of us have easier access to debit cards.

Happy 2011.

There is really nothing to be happy about in Kenya, if you ask me. We are at
crossroads. With Kibaki not sure whether to delete Kenya's participation
from ICC or not, you can imagine what this portends for the economy -
uncertainty!

And that screws us all!

I would like to withdraw support for my alleged BODMAS theory.I now
fully understand and agree that the answer is 53 and not 13.

Hmmm.....enyewe mathafu ni ngumu
