A Note To All The Companies Using Private Numbers
26 Sep 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
I don’t answer private numbers. Nor do a lot of people I know. But a lot of them haven’t reached my elite level. The “elite communicator” level is where you find yourself when you have absolutely zero curiosity as to who might be calling. You’re over it. You’re so far gone, that you only answer […]

How many of you caught the story, posted earlier in the day, about a Cape Town advocate who swore at a Cape Town High Court judge, and stormed out of the court room?

18 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Hear ye, hear ye! Today is Friday. You know what that means. That means that we knock off at 12h00. Do you know why we knock off at 12h00? Because we’re not lying to ourselves. “I”M NOT LYING TO MYSELF.” You shouldn’t either. No one is working productively after 12h00 on a Friday afternoon. The […]

Gang, we’re facing a serious problem. It affects our daily happiness. It affects our ability to be effective human beings.

PleaseShutUp.com Joins The Revolution
15 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
A genius new website has launched which seems to be in full support of a cause that 2oceansvibe has championed for many years. PleaseShutUp.com clearly and humorously outlines the grossly antisocial, selfish and ridiculous behaviour found in modern day society – that of making and receiving random unplanned and unexpected phone calls.

15 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There seems to be a lot of people still addicted to phone calls of late – desperately wanting to cover detail which has/could’ve been discussed and confirmed in email.

Look, there’s a time and place for phone calls. YOU just don’t seem to get it. Unexpected or unplanned phone calls are slowly but surely becoming the new anti-social smoking.
