Shhh! It's ok my babba. Don't be scared.

Whilst some of you are still frightened to go outside, I can ASSURE you that there is nothing to worry about. Seriously, it's time to get your tan on. If you can't tan, it's irrelevant because the point I'm about to make is not about tanning, it's about Mount Nelson's Planet Bar. That's right, friends - the only place in Cape Town which genuinely offers that 5 star fine lounging experience, is back. And this time they're not fucking around.

I must say I felt guilty not going that often during the winter, but it would just be foolish not to go there this Friday. The weather is looking peachy and they've reintroduced Goldfish as their Friday regulars. And it all starts today! They've also involved some key people to the Friday launch including a friend of mine, MUMM champagne.

Nothing wrong with that. The nice thing about champagne is just seems to attract supermodels. Again, nothing wrong.

The manager at the hotel told me not to say anything, but APPARENTLY Nick Goldblatt will be there. I can't say anymore on the subject.

Now regarding the whole Pluto not being a planet issue, I really don't know what to say. I have done some research and you can read some arguments here. The scientist who wrote the article ends off by explaining why there was a recent uproar over Pluto being stripped of it's 'planet' title. Whoever he is, claims:

"Pluto will always retain a special place in our hearts, having been considered a planet for over 3/4 of a century and with a NASA mission on its way to reach the Pluto-Charon system in July 2015, Pluto will not be forgotten".

Umm, whatever, freakshow. No one gives a fuck about that. The only reason people care about Pluto is it reminds them of the Disney dog that hangs around Mickey Mouse and Goofy. Fact.

Put that in your test tube, Case.

Anyway, seriously, do yourself a favour and get to Planet bar. Sit in the sun that hasn't set yet. Order a drink from one of the angels (they have a knack of hiring proper angels) and laugh at the fact that you are enjoying something that overseas visitors pay 10's of thousands of rands just to get to. Go play. Go play nicely. I'll buy you a drink. We will toast your success and max out our credit cards together.

Goldfish are playing from 18h30 to 21h00 and then things will probably go a little crazy. I don't know if you are aware, but people haven't been shy of staying at Planet bar until one or two in the morning.

Serious?

Serious.
