That is, if you book with Groupon. Go peak your head out the window. Do you see the sunshine that we’re dealing with today? It’s an absolute joke. While the rest of the country is “gripped” by a cold spell, Cape Town is rocking the city’s collective faces off with a stiff little 24 degrees […]

A daily newspaper in Zimbabwe has revealed that Robert Mugabe has spent an excessive amount of money on foreign travel in the last six months, totalling $20 million. And we’re not talking Zimbabwean Dollars here, this is US currency. He has now reportedly surpassed his $15 million travel budget for the year, but that’s probably irrelevant to him.

I wrote yesterday about how depressed I was about the apparent lack of the rule of law in our fair land. Well today I am feeling a little better. The reason: The constitutional court has said that President Jacob Zuma’s decision to extend Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo’s term of office is unconstitutional.

The idea behind the game is pretty straight forward: you must beat your satellite navigational system’s estimated time of arrival. I’m quite sure this has crossed some of our minds a few times but apparently some seven million British drivers are actually partaking in the potentially lethal new craze.

One of the reasons I love driving cars from all over the world is that I wrongly or rightly approach the vehicle with the stereotype of the people who made it clouding my judgement. It’s fun. And with the French, there is a veritable cheese platter of character traits from which to choose.

Victor Burgos is one loco ese! After appearing on the local police department’s most wanted list, he posted a video of himself walking into a police station online. He also taunted the police with this Facebook status: “Catch me if you can, I’m in Brooklyn”. Guess where they caught him?

I don’t know about you, but I for one am feeling like a real tit! I can’t believe I fell for that silly City Press article claiming Julius Malema uses his secret trust fund to fund his lavish lifestyle. It turns out he’s actually a young philanthropist and uses it to “fund charitable causes!”

South African Rugby Union chief executive, Jurie Roux, was totally pissed off yesterday when the media asked him whether or not the Springboks are actually at some secret training camp, in preparation for the World Cup.

We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]

How’s this? Amy Winehouse’s family believes that a seizure related to abstinence from drinking is actually what killed her. The family says the singer quit alcohol cold turkey three weeks before she died. They think her tiny frame could not handle the shock of withdrawal, leading to her untimely death.

There’s a growing body of evidence supporting the idea that alcoholism can be passed to one’s children genetically. So too, an addiction to drugs like crack cocaine. But recently, medical facilities in the US have reported an overwhelming number of cases of babies hooked on the same prescription drugs that were abused by their mothers during pregnancy.

Bigoted members of British society must be speedily wringing their hands and tensely furrowing their eyebrows in anger that this has happened. While not quite the same as the Name Your Hood campaign, Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Shariah law enforcement zones have been set up.

Last week I told you a bit about Champagne’s history, and left you at around the 16th/17th century. I was going to try and take you all the way up to the present in this column. I then realised that this would not be possible in 100 words. So I shelved the pot-holed history of […]

Snapped on the corner of Tennant Street and Sir Lowry Road. Just another day, fraught with random bouts of motoring danger in our eccentric city. [Thanks, Stefan]

There are two aspects to this video. The first is very obvious: girls chose to wash Russian-made cars in bikinis for Vladimir Putin, as the headline suggests. And the other is the awkward on air moment between the two television news presenters that happens after they cover the story.

We use the word “receptionist” fairly liberally. Yes, you’ll be manning the front desk, making coffee (good coffee), inflating beach balls, and using a walky-talky, but you’ll be doing a lot of other things, too. Fun things. And if it turns out that you have initiative and brains, you’ll make the step upstairs in no […]

The pictures you are about to see involve an accident caused by a person in Monte Carlo. This person collided a Bentley with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche AND an Aston Martin – resulting in total damages of R7.6m.

As you are well aware, the last few days have been somewhat of a nightmare for the many who’ve been stuck in cars along the N3 and Van Reenen’s pass. We are simply not used to snow and were certainly not prepared. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, as this video illustrates.

When the Duchess of Cambridge’s hot sister, Pippa Middleton, isn’t appearing on best body part lists all over the world, she’s informing other equally important global trends. Such as baby names. Naming guide website, Nameberry, says Pippa’s recent rise to fame has led to her topping the most popular girl’s name list for 2011.

Piers Morgan might have been speaking nonsense when he made the modest claim that all he knew of phone hacking was that someone once told him that it was possible. The embattled CNN host, who has spent a fair amount of time defending his knowledge on hacking lately, appears to have forgotten about a 2009 interview.

When it comes to the food industry, one must always be on the lookout for exciting, new trends. As you know, Ass-Flavoured Products are very “in” right now and it therefore makes perfect sense for the Caltex garage at the Waterfront to launch a titillating new range of Pieman’s ass flavoured pies.

It seems that there truly isn’t a day goes by where some politician is caught on the take, then denies it, then blames the media, and then gets off. Monday was Malema’s turn and Tuesday Was Bheki’s. His mate Nathi got to explain just why the chief needed to spend 1.498 million Rand on plane trips.
