The members of the Westboro Baptist Church are some of the worst people you’ll ever encounter. Considered one of the most homophobic and anti-Semitic hate groups in the world, they are known for picketing at the funerals of soldiers – holding up posters with vitriolic phrases such as “God hates fags” and “Thank God for dead soldiers”.
Yesterday we reported on Jonathan Trappe’s incredible recreation of the famous floating house from Pixar’s film Up. Trappe staged his flight during this year’s International Balloon Festival in Mexico.
With two American states legalising the possession and recreational use of spliff, this is becoming an important question to ask. Especially as, according to a new survey from the California Office of Traffic Safety, there are more stoned drivers on Californian roads than drunk ones.
A world of children’s entertainment, music events and shopping await Capetonians and visitors to the Mother City with the V&A Waterfront’s bumper summer line-up.
An American cluster-balloonist caused a stir at this year’s International Balloon Festival in Mexico by recreating the famous floating house from Pixar’s film Up. Highlights from his colourful flight can be seen in the gallery inside.

Scientists have acknowledged that it’s not just us humans that suffer from midlife crises – apes do too. Except the apes might not go out and buy a Harley, or take up golf on their own accord.
It’s holidays soon people and the irony is you won’t be chilling out. You’ll be so sorry you hadn’t taken your babe somewhere special before it all went pear-shaped. Do this – the price is right and you might even get your cash back!
Wow, this whole sports drugs vibe is getting out of hand. If it wasn’t enough that one of our own top cyclists was busted shortly after Lance Armstrong, we now have a problem in our schools. And apparently it’s the worst in the world.
Here’s a wine column in two parts. First a response to nagging complaint against people like myself, that we should be quiet about the huge amounts of people drinking truly atrocious wines, because, you know, so what. To balance it out, I will suggest some great bargain wines to drink as well.
Have you ever sat on a plane and wondering what those hosties and gentlemen stewards are thinking? Whatever you do, don’t snap your fingers. “Passengers who click their fingers to get the staff’s attention” is the biggest gripe for a quarter of cabin crew (26 per cent), according to a new survey. The Skyscanner survey […]
If winning a Bond-inspired trip to London for you and three friends worth R1 million sounds like something you’d take a second sniff at, then you, my friend, need to read on.
It’s just gone midway through November, er, Movember. And that means that there are a number of men (and some women) sporting in between Movember moustaches. Hang in there, this is just a phase you must get through.
The Witness reported today that a KwaZulu-Natal teacher has been chillaxing on sick leave for eight years while the Department of Education has been faithfully paying her salary every month. Crazy.
PLEASE watch this guy as he gives a little smile to the other guys, trying desperately to be accepted into their conversation. They ignore him. He lurks. And that’s when he pulls the classic “Sip and Shuffle.” The smile at the 6 second mark kills me.
Provence connoisseurs will appreciate this pic taken yesterday in Menerbes – a special part of Provence’s Luberon Valley. Autumn in full effect – in particular the cherry trees in the lower right quadrant of the pic.
Just take it all in. You could command an empire from these grounds. And what’s the going rate for your own principality? Obviously the current owners were brought up with solid breeding, because they think it’s rude to set a number that large in writing. The price is POA. But then, price doesn’t ever really […]
The Monarch Tuksi Company has recently launched a fleet of 10 Tuksi’s, or tuk-tuks, onto the streets of Cape Town.
After accusing Public Service Minister Lindiwe Sisulu of wasting public resources by travelling in a luxury Gulfstream jet more than 200 times between Pretoria and Cape Town on Tuesday, DA MP David Maynier was instructed to “keep his flea-infested body” and sit down by the minister.
Not bad, Pepsi, not bad. But don’t expect to find it in your local supermarket just yet, because it’s only available in Japan.
We’re not overly surprised about Candice Swanepoel going topless, but more the fact that she went brunette for a shoot (possibly a wig). Looks a lot like Angelina Jolie, to be honest. Follow link for the hardly N5FW photo shoot.
I haven’t seen Skyfall yet, but now I have another reason to make sure I do. I’ve always enjoyed superyachts and there is something very special about a superyacht with sails. This yacht, ‘Regina,’ is no exception. It was used in the latest Bond film and is yours for $14 million.
In the Morning Spice Headlines this morning, we carried a story that indicated that South Africa could be the latest hunting ground for thieves looking for valuable paintings. But, what if our own artists where behind this trend?
Supermodel Heidi Klum hosted the MTV EMA’s on Sunday night. During the evening, she wore four different Versace dresses, however, the outfit that received the most applause was a blue tuxedo jacket and a pair of black trousers.
Last week, marijuana legalisation bills were successfully passed in both Colorado and Washington. Awareness surrounding the growth, distribution and consumption of weed is growing by the day and it is expected that more states will soon follow.
Good luck buying tickets to this play, starring Dirty Skirts frontman, Jeremy de Tolly and our very own G-Man. The play ‘Loving Liars,’ by Nicol Ritchie is about family secrets, art, naughty behaviour and manipulation. Don’t miss this. Click for more.
Cape Town is privileged to have an outdoor art exhibition taking place right now, featuring a number of sculptures, including Dylan Lewis and Deborah Bell. A rare opportunity to take in these incredible works of art in the beautiful Mount Nelson gardens. Click for more info.
Wow, just 1 week ago I posted an article about my experience in Venice, and now look at this! Apparently it’s their 6th highest tide level in 150 years, with 70% of the floating city underwater. Click through to see these extraordinary pictures.
Mums in the UK are up in arms over a doll designed for girls as young as two to “breastfeed”, calling it “weird” and “creepy”. The cringeworthy toys have children wear a bib with “flower nipples” while the “Breast Milk Baby” makes suckling sounds when the girl puts it to her chest.
If you haven’t noticed, it’s full-blown awards season in the wine industry. You can shake the proverbial stick and more than likely poke a winning winemaker’s eye out.
