17 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Just when you though they couldn’t push it any further – Nando’s take ambiguity to the next level, offering “free coke” to the South Americans. Given South America’s propensity for making and selling cocaine to the rest of the world, one might think Nando’s are giving away the odd gram with their chicken burgers. Apparently [...]

PARLOTONES ABANDON SOUTH AFRICA AND SUPPORT GERMANY
15 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 108 Comments
Product endorsements and commercialisation aside; aligning yourself with another nation and singing for their victory in a tournament which is being held on your home soil (a tournament in which your own country is competing), may well be the final straw for Parlotones fans. “Aligning” might be a bit tame. By the looks of their [...]

15 Jun 2010 by silverstreak / 1 Comment

MY KIND OF CYCLIST
14 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
People think I’m against ALL cyclists. Not true. It’s just the dicks I don’t enjoy. The guys who wear their helmets whilst dining at the table next to me.
