The party       was shown on national tele-vision, although viewers in Harare suffered a       power cut.'              http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article1434858.ece                     ROBBIE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
