yes, you saw the title right.
i saw a blog post by the awesome BangersandNash this morning and i just had to share it with you guys. not only is AB an awesome cricketer but apparently he can sing too!
him and Ampie du Preez made a song called “Maak Jou Drome Waar” and i must say, it is a very good!

from WIKI
“AB and Ampie are signed to the Sony BMG label and their debut album, “Maak Jou Drome Waar” will be released on August 10, 2010. It features 14 songs – 9 in Afrikaans and 5 in English. Their first music video from the album was the title track, which was released in April 2010 online on YouTube”

check it out!

i think i jizzed in my pant while watching this. simply. no. words. can. explain. the. awesomeness. ness. ness. of. this. trailer.

so in exactly a month time the English Premier league kicks off. unlike previous years where the opening day featured all the teams this year seems like 2 fixtures were moved to the sunday and monday.

here are the fixtures for the opening matches:

14 August 2010

12:45 Tottenham vs Man City
15:00 Blackpool vs Wigan
15:00 Bolton vs Fulham
15:00 Wolverhampton vs Stoke
15:00 Aston Villa vs West Ham
15:00 Blackburn vs Everton
15:00 Sunderland vs Birmingham
17:30 Chelsea vs West Brom

15 August

16:00 Liverpool vs Arsenal

16 August 2010

20:00 Man Utd vs Newcastle

as you can see some tasty encounters for the opening games.
Tottenham vs Man City for the opening game, Chelsea against the newly promoted West Brom for the late game on Saturday and then Sunday an awesome Liverpool vs Arsenal which promises to be a good one and the one i’m looking forward to is Monday night’s game with Manchester United hosting Newcastle. my team vs my dad’s team. epic

so i decided to take a quick panoramic of the view from the balcony on top floor of our building at work and this is what it came out as. it was very quick and was impressed by the software i used to stitch it together. the originals are like 15734×1943 and are about 8MB each.
both of these are from the same image except the one i cropped the cars out.
let me know what you think or if you want to see the originals i can always display it somewhere?
