APOLOGY
A hundred, no a thousand, no a gazillion apologies are in order. I used to look at my blog everyday and feel so sad that no one ever left me a comment. Then a message by "the visitor" made me realise that it was all my fault! Blog ignoramus that I am, I hadn't even understood that certain trivial steps were necessary to view and publish comments. So now I've published all your comments and I want to thank you! Keep commenting and I will try to keep writing:) I am going to need lots of encouragement because I am an inherently lazy soul!
I am going to reply to your comments now, I hope that's ok! :)

not really 'speak' as much as know when i'm being insulted and can give back in the same language :) i used to live a few hundred km from south africa for many years so picked up the important stuff. kids call it kaakaa but the adult version is definitely kak.
@ Mosilager- Ah I see!! :) This is where I got the definition from: http://www.wordgumbo.com/ie/ger/afr/erafreng.htm
and while we are discussing that, I discovered some more meanings as well:)
Akka was a Finnish goddess, Akka is also a pejorative term for wife, or old woman in the Finnish language and Akka are a tribe of African pygmies!
Now what does Mosilager mean??
@the chosen one- Thanks!
@the visitor- am raring to go :)
wow! i used to wonder why my comments were never published. (thought you were a snob of sorts..but your comments on other blogs dispelled that image)..should've guessed. (tee hee)
:) great now, i will come here often to leave my $0.02.
btw, my sister was grossed out and upset. she's happy i don't really call her "Akka", but always refer to her as "Akka"
hehehhe.. it's still funny.
Moral of the story- comment begets comment.
ironic that after you began uploading comments, i began spamming you with them :D think blogger was not working properly each time i tried commenting so had to click a few times! i see they all made it up here! LOL!
ok it just hapnd again!!! sheesh :| is there something the matter with your comments settings? pls delete the double one i sent a li'l earlier!
@ the chosen one-I have no idea what happened!Everytime someone leaves a comment I get 2 messages! Will check it out.
Mosi lager is a beer in Zambia... at some point it had won the best beer in the world award, or maybe that's just an urban legend from Lusaka. The Zambian football team always wins any tournament that has crates of Mosi as the first prize, that's how good the stuff is. Here's a picture.
ur blog is linked :)
and will update soon.been busy,tired and sleeping with a weird skin infection :D
@the_girl_from-ipanema- and I've been trying so hard not to let anyone know that I am a snob :)
@Hiren- ok, ok :)
@Mosilager- It became much clearer once you delinked the Mosi from the Lager :) Interesting info, thanks!
@the insane genius- thanks da and get well soon!!
i'm glad you have accessed our comments.i hope they cheer you up.
For getting yourself in the comments game I think you should also set up a blogroll - a list of bloggers you visit - this will encourage people who see their name on your site to leave comments and have you on their blogrolls!
You shall soon be on mine!
@ 30in2005- Thank you, thank you!Now I have to figure out how to set up the blogroll :) Everytime I see your name, it strikes a chord! Are you planning to change it to 31in2006?:)Becoming 30 is a rather momentous event in one's life!
@hip patti- I've certainly cheered up! :)
aha!
|finally get to see the comments...used to wonder why my comment doesnt get displayed!
:-)
Now we know :-)
See this link.
:( my apologies - it was written before you opened up the comments.
oops...so that the reason...I had almost giving up commenting on ur blog :) good that its ok now! and nice to see my blog linked too :) cheers akka!
akka - since you think I write about Food, food and more food - I felt hurt and retired.
Read my archives and lemme know if you have changed your mind :-)
Aiyo Tilo!!!I never meant any harm :( Infact I love the food reviews!!!! How do I view your archives?I am not able to access them. I would be SO happy if you came out of retirement!!!!!!
