Win Cash For Winning At Life
23 May 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Remember that little chat we had regarding productivity last week? You may have remembered that I tend to take a stroll, and eat a tasty snack when my creative juices run dry. It’s a physical solution to a mental problem, and it works, really well. Well, sure, it’s a great solution, but the weather has [...]

The Magical Combination Of Food And Success: Let’s Chat About How Your Mind Actually Works
11 May 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Men and women. We’re wired differently. Our work habits differ. I’m not sure what you’ve found in your daily experience, but in my own personal experience, I’ve found that I tend to work in bursts of high productivity. And sometimes, when the deadlines loom, and the pressure’s on, the magic evaporates into thin air. There’s [...]

26 Apr 2012 by Bearded Wiseman / 4 Comments
Nando’s didn’t hesitate accepting the challenge that Santam had set them this week. In fact, Nando’s delivered a day early, and then bettered it, showing they definitely weren’t chicken. Some might call it a very good example of symbiotic radvertising.

25 Apr 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I know a lot of you out there are big fans of the butter flavoured Act II popcorn, but I must say, I’m a plain salted man. That’s before I get home and prepare for another screening of Mad Men or the latest US iTunes movie. And by prepare, I am of course referring to [...]

Robertsons Salt & Vinegar Seasoning Spotted At Checkers Kloof Street
13 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
They’re surprisingly hard to find – the Salt & Vinegar flavour of Robertson spices. This, even though it is the best thing to put on popcorn at home. I used to go to the cinema just to experience popcorn with salt & vinegar flavouring. Because that was the only place I could find it. But [...]

I had a lunch “meeting” a couple weeks ago and I told the guy that I would see him at the Oasis Restaurant at the Mount Nelson. “Are you aware of it?” I asked him. “Cape Town’s best kept secret,” he replied. Wow – that’s laughable. I know a lot of places and things claim [...]

Planet Restaurant At The Mount Nelson – It’s Not “Fine Dining”
03 Jan 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I didn’t know what to expect, to be honest. I spend quite a bit of time at the Planet Bar (Thursday nights a must), which is sophisticated and cool, with a relaxed vibe. It certainly is more ‘mod’ when compared to, say, the world-famous Mount Nelson tea room – just next door. So when it came to [...]
