THE RESULT
14 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
After the hurricanes that hit Cape Town this week (see earlier posts including trucks getting blown over outside Caprice), I am pleased to announce that everything is back to normal. This, taken today at 15h00. Utter splendour And where exactly was that taken, I hear you ask? Watch this space..

THE ONE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
14 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
At last, visual evidence of the truck that was blown over outside Caprice yesterday. I can’t believe the photo is right here in front of me. I heard about it and just waited, patiently, for it to land on my lap. It’s so good. The winds are so powerful. They make me so CRAZY! […]

TALL TREE CATCHES MUCH WIND
11 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You know that steep road that joins Kloof Road with Kloof Nek Road? Just up from Bacini’s? Ja, that’s the one. Well, anyway, it’s blocked off because a tree committed suicide over the road. I swear. Check it out. Hectrique!The winds experienced today are what we call “crazy” I think that guy standing […]

CAN WE AT LEAST REMOVE OUR HELMETS?
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Like taxis, we have come to tolerate our lycra-engulfed brethren and now realise that the only defense is to simply divert young childrens’ attention away from the bizarre behaviour and stray balls on display. Sunday morning gave us some extreme examples of how the Shimano Warriors’ anti-social behaviour has gone WAY past the edge of […]

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HATH MADE
05 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We’ve chatted before about this lovely game the Atlantic Ocean plays from time to time, called “lake-lake.” That’s what it is doing today. It usually comes with an ever-so-thin haze in the sky, causing the ocean to look almost metallic in colour. Camps Bay – todayvery kak Yup, that’s the one. So anyway, […]

31 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Volvo Ocean Race is an around the World sailing challenge that happens every three years. It is a MASSIVE undertaking with nine or 10 legs in total and takes over nine months to complete. And they’re in Cape Town in a couple days time! They will undergo repairs and the sailors get rest until […]

GOTTA LOVE SEA POINT
28 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As I often say, these things look pretty normal around here, until you take a picture of them and realise, Christ, this is NOT normal. Ilan W sent this in of a skateboarder catching a ride on the side of a front-end loader on Sea Point’s Beach Road. Here we see our boy waiting at […]

PARADISE, LILOS AND JUMPING CASTLES
20 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s been a while since I visited Beta Beach, and quite some time since the mad-man attacked me with an umbrella (pronounced “madmin” for extra annoyance). So Saturday was spent getting back into the groove. Saturday – very kak The prize for making a mockery of the day goes to this intrepid fellow who nailed […]

CLIFTON 4TH BEACH
17 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I took a spin on the scooter down to Clifton 4th beach right now and this is what I found. Seriously, this just happened. You’ll see the ocean is playing a game that we enjoy. It’s called Lake-Lake. Sometimes, when it goes as still as this, we call the game Pond-Pond. God, it’s so kak.

NEWBIE BOWLS : BOOZE AND LAWN BOWLS, OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN
08 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ll be honest, I had no idea this shit was going down right here in Camps Bay and Clifton! We’ve all seen the Newbie Bowls website before and it was only today that I looked out the car window and spotted the bowling greens from Victoria Road, overlooking Clifton and La Med! I remembered an […]

IS THIS YOUR FATHER?
25 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I know a lot has been said on these pages in the past, and I understand that some of you might think I’m waging a secret little war against the Shimano-ladened breathren. But I’m not. I’m just teasing. I’m just being observant and asking questions. Like right here, right now. I promise I’m not “having […]

BUTLERS SENT ME BRENDAN!
25 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Still wading through the aftermath of the instant fame he received following his well documented delivery/encounter (article here) with a gaggle of hot Camps Bay babes, Brendan, the Butlers Pizza “celebrity driver” is still a very hot commodity. Take it from me! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting it. Nor did I expect any driver […]

JACK BLACK ON TAP AT CAPRICE AND MOUNT NELSON
17 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]

CRISPY BACON
10 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
An essential part to being a complete human being, is to possess the ability to cook perfect crispy bacon in a frying pan. I’m going to tell you now, just this once, the easiest way to do so. Crispy bacon – standard stuff in The Safe House MrBreakfast.com got it spot on: […]

CAPRICE HANDICAP ZONE MAKES SUNDAY PAPERS
09 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Sunday breakfast at Caprice presented us with a front page article with full-size pic, featuring the handicap parking zone in front of the Camps Bay eatery of choice. It seems ANC national executive, Tony Yengeni, had been caught brazenly parking in the handicap zone; whilst unashamedly dining not 10 metres away. Why punish yourself? […]

EGGS, THRILLER, SAFE HOUSE
08 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My GOD, Saturday was a gorgeous day! I cleverly didn’t over-indulge at Asoka the night before, following the launch of the first Luv Sport TV show. A good night’s sleep and a fresh joint (I went for the pinner – three drags and go) ensured maximum enjoyment of the good weather. I had breakfast scheduled […]

I BOUGHT MY FIRST BIALETTI MOKA EXPRESS
20 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m quite pleased with myself. I popped into Carlucci’s yesterday to get a Chunky Chicken Salad and I spotted their range of stovetop espresso makers, as I do every time (always two words, it is never “everytime”). I bit my lip as I grabbed the small Bialetti Moka Express one-man unit from the shelf and […]

Yesterday, Sunday 17 August, 2008, wasn’t too bad. This is the vibe Camps Bay was going for. Visions of the impending summer fuckshow Cappers, nestled comfortably in Table Mountain’s bosom The Gelado from Vida e – one of the first signs of Summer The best way to store kids at the […]

THE WALKING-READING CHICK
13 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I dig this chick’s vibe. I check her nearly every day walking from Camps Bay along Victoria Road to Bantry Bay and back. It’s incredible – she hardly ever looks up and never walks into anyone. Like those people that read at gym whilst cycling or running, only more tricky. And cooler. And healthier. […]

I’VE GOT AN AUDI R8 PARKED DOWNSTAIRS
19 May 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A local company has decided, for one reason or another, to lend me a brand new Audi R8 for a while. The guy called me on Friday and asked if I would mind. I’m usually hesitant to take up these kind of offers, as you don’t know what they want from you in return. But, […]

GLEN BEACH LOCALS ONLY, BRU
18 Jan 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The ever-territorial Glen Beach Locals (GBL) surfing fraternity have laid down yet another stern reminder to outsiders, that surf intrusions of any kind on “this break” will be more than just frowned upon. And a little suggestion to beginners wasting time with their shit – NO KOOKS! And don’t forget it It will […]

CAPRICE CAPRICE
26 May 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s true that I frequent Caprice in Camps Bay more than the average person. Circumstances have allowed Caprice to be the nearest cocktail bar / restaurant to my place of residence. You see, God has blessed me – and I will shamelessly punt Caprice until I can punt no more. This is not the first […]
