I remember when I got my first copy of the latest Dirty Skirts album, Daddy Don’t Disco – I nearly wet myself the whole way through. And then came the track that is currently all over the airwaves – “Rolling Like Thunder.” As much of the fan that I am, I couldn’t actually believe what […]
This article is by no means an endorsement of any party, nor is it an indication of who I will be voting for. It is just a brief word about how impressed I am with Trevor Manuel, and that the opposition parties and leaders might want to take a leaf out of his book. You […]
So some friends from L.A. rolled into town for a week and managed to pack in quite a bit. They stayed at the new One & Only hotel (review pending – the jury is still out) at the V&A Waterfront and headed out each day, ticking off the various adventures to be had. It was […]
Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
I very nearly bought a couple of golden circle tickets for this year’s Coke Zero Fest in Cape Town after my G-Man reminded me it was taking place on Monday. You see, as I was about to book tickets for The Muse and me, I found out that it wasn’t in it’s usual place (Kenilworth […]

While the Vaal Dam is pretty impressive, Table Mountain is the only local landmark that has made the second round of the “New 7 Wonders of the World.” And by “second round” I mean 261 magnificent natural sites from 222 countries. Oh, I’ve just noticed that they’re all natural… That’s probably why the Vaal Dam […]

Whilst I am certainly 100% behind this cause, I must say, I’m also very excited to actually WITNESS us pulling it off. And by “us,” I mean “the world.” That’s what they’re aiming for; you realise that, right? The whole WORLD is turning off the lights for one hour on March 28. Because of varying […]

As predicted, this last weekend’s Cape Town Tens was a runaway success, with 10/10 scores from anyone that matters. The tournament has been accepted on the world stage and is pipped to become bigger than the Hong Kong Sevens within the next two years. www.capetowntens.com The facilitation of recreational boozing was apparent, as everyone went […]

I don’t know about you, but my insides are spazzing out in anticipation for the inaugural annual Cape Town Tens competition taking place this weekend at Hamiltons RFC.

Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
It would be somewhat out of line not to mention some of the angels on display at last Saturday’s 148th running of the Queen’s Plate. Slightly off the mark in black, rather than blue and white, the ever stylish Gina Athens did particularly well with this short knitted dress. Hat and shades combo also gets […]
