USE YOUR IPHONE GPS TO FIND THE NEAREST CINEMA – WELL DONE NAVIFLIX!
10 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]

10 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I grabbed a burger at Hudson’s last night and ran into the owner, Dave. He informed me that the place above Hudsons, The Saasveld Lodge, still had availability for the World Cup. So if you’ve got mates coming to town who aren’t able to make use of the ridiculous deals being offered at my primary […]

HOW TO GET MURDERED SHA’P SHA’P THIS WORLD CUP
09 Jun 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Soccer World Cup will attract some 350 000 foreign visitors our shores. Most of them are already arriving, and you can bet they’ll be bringing their national idiosyncrasies with them. Today, we offer a sincere prayer that no fun-loving Dutch fans bring this quirky bit of fan paraphernalia with them, or they WILL be […]

09 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
FLAGS – LET’S HAVE THAT CHAT
07 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Ok I think we need to get the flags on the car mirrors, gang – at the very least. A word of caution – check the size before you buy them. I bought my first pair and they were too small. They will now be given to The Muse, whose MG has smaller mirrors than […]

US NEWS STILL FAILING AT GEOGRAPHY
18 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
With the Soccer World Cup just 24 days, four hours and 20 minutes away, it’s so comforting to know that our beloved RSA is getting the accurate international press coverage that we deserve. I mean, take this, for example, courtesy of Chicago’s WGN news.

You simply don’t get a more comprehensive guide to the 2010 Football World Cup. And I’m not talking about a silly guide with silly information, I’m talking about information pertaining to every single game. Where it is being played, when it is being played, affected areas (with maps), base camps, training facilities – you name […]

That’s right, you heard me – the poms will be coming with their OWN vuvuzelas!

God help us all.. Check […]

I’ve been struggling to keep quiet about this for quite some time now, as the excitement has been too much.

STUNNING REPORTS IN THE BRITISH PRESS
07 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 15 Comments
This is the vibe the UK press are going for, in one of the tabloids consumed by the masses. And you get two papers for the price of one! Baking! Nice! Exellent. That’s just stunning! Great timing, this whole vibe of ET’s murder vs Malema’s song. Take that, combined with the British press’ propensity for […]
Paul The Octopus Pegs
26 Mar 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The world is mourning a legend. Paul the psychic octopus has died at his home at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany. His death has been expected however, as octpuses (I prefer octpi) generally only live for a couple of years. Paul was born in January 2008.
ULIGHTNING XESHA
10 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]

THE POMS GET INTO THE SA 2010 VIBE
17 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It’s too funny, watching them carry on. Make no mistake, I love the Brits – some of them. Some of them I can’t stand. But for the most part I just like watching them. I like watching a lot of people, truth be told. Obviously watching norms is far more entertaining than watching non-norms. I […]

LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT GETS NAMED AND SHAMED ON INTERNET – INCLUDING PHOTOGRAPHS AND PRIVATE DETAILS
07 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 28 Comments
A new website, by the name of www.stephaniekohler.co.za has gone viral in South Africa’s Twitter universe. From what initially like someone’s own personal webpage, the person to which the domain name refers, “Stephanie Kohler,” has nothing to do with the website whatsoever, other than being the target of an online attack. Retribution for alleged fraudulent […]
GRANGER BOULEVARD – THE ULTIMATE ROAD TO THE WATERFRONT
05 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Yesterday I “tweeted” something about the magical road that transports you from the new Green Point circle (next to the stadium) directly to the Waterfront (the preferred back entry near the Radisson hotel). There is no easier route to get to the Waterfront. Even if I was driving into town from the N2, I would […]
