Tiny Homes, Bigger Cars: Why This Curse Of Progress Needs To End
21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I am concerned. There’s an alarming trend that I’ve noticed, and it’s all getting a bit out of control. Every new generation of vehicles emerges fatter than the last. I drove a new Opel Astra last month which barely scraped into my garage. An Astra. It’s hardly a monster truck. Yet every new property development I’ve encountered is essentially a maze of shoeboxes. Are we forgetting the ultimate luxury?

Where Are All The Good Comedians?
21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 56 Comments
Who told Loyiso Gola that he is funny? I need answers. How did he come to have a comedy TV show, and why is the country putting up with this gigantic farce? People even follow him on Twitter. Why?! What is so appealing about having an alarmingly round face shout inanities at you in caps lock? I’m serious – I need to know. Am I the loony one here? [click link to read column]

The 2011 Springbok Rugby World Cup Squad – Morrey Picks His Team
20 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 37 Comments
Having reviewed most positions over the last 10 weeks, the time has come to select my Bok squad and starting XV for this year’s Rugby World Cup tournament in New Zealand in September/October. I do not suggest that these are the players I would start in the Tri-Nations – we should consider resting senior players […]

Today’s Jack Friday Winner, And Evidence Of Last Month’s Amazing Jack Friday Experience [VIDEO]
17 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
When we said that we were going to revolutionize the South African work place by lobbying for shorter (read: “nonexistent”) Friday working hours, we weren’t kidding around. Proof? Thanks to the help of our friends at Jack Daniels, and the marvelous Last Word hotel group, we got ourselves a yacht. The Princess Emma, to be […]

End Of The Month Salticrax Be Gone! Amazing Groupon Deal
17 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Today is the 17th of the month. Instinctively, you know that that means. The Petrol gauge is flirting with the wrong side of the half-mark. The improvised wine-collection is running dry. The packet of cigarettes is looking dangerously roomy, and the Salticrax are beginning to look more austere than opulent. And as the cash-coffers dry […]

How To Be A Petrol-Head And Still Get Laid
14 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Look, I’m no expert here, on either subject, but it’s my job to talk about cars. It’s safe to say I may have bored a few people over the years, so I’ve put together a handy guide to avoiding that. As a car enthusiast, or petrol-head if you must, you will have to talk about the object of your desires with the women you desire. Don’t cock it up.

Diary Of An Exhausted Arsenal Fan
13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s been a weird sort of season. How do you reconcile the fact that Arsenal beat Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona in the last six months of the season with the fact that in the exact same period they lost to third-rate Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City and Birmingham City? How do we come to terms with both the heady highs and the unrelenting lows, like the crushing defeat to Birmingham in the Carling Cup Final and the astonishing 4-4 draw to Newcastle United which effectively ended our title hopes? What does one say of the beautiful football, the young talent and complete lack of any sort of silverware in the last six seasons?

Brand New Macbook Air For R8,999
13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
Sounds pretty remarkable, doesn’t it? You see, it all started when I was cruising around Schipol Airport and noticed that they were selling the iPad 2 for MORE than what you can buy one from at Digicape. Digicape are selling the iPad 2 with 32Gb and 3G for R6,599 – no spice. Can you believe […]

Lock And Load – Morrey’s Corner
10 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Looking at the lock forwards that Peter de Villiers should take to the World Cup is a quick and easy discussion. Victor Matfield and Andries Bekker cover the number five jersey / four-jumper position as arguably the two best lineout options in world rugby, while Bakkies Botha and Dannie Rossouw should be named as your two-jumpers in the four jersey. But what about Juan?

South Africa’s Green Car Tax: Why You’re Being Screwed
07 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
One of the many perks of writing is the freedom to grace an article with the headline it deserves. Many media outlets have covered this story, but nobody has called it what it is. Every single one of us who buys a new car in South Africa today is being screwed. It’s called a Green […]

The Brothers Streep On 2oceansVibe Radio
07 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Acclaimed comedy group, The Brothers Streep, made an appearance on The Mark Bayly Show on 2oceansVibe Radio yesterday afternoon, which is a significant upgrade from their appearance on BBC’s Graham Norton show (that’s a joke). In between gulps of wine and pieces of chocolate, Simon and Dylan managed to crack out excellent acoustic renditions of […]

Pub Quizzes Can Sod Off
06 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
Fuck pub quizzes and all who go to them. I’ve been holding on to that thought for as long as I have been in Johannesburg, which is as long as the Barclays Premier League season of 2010-2011 has run. And now that the season is over, I feel the need to tell pub quiz enthusiasts where to get off.

The Hairy-Chested Man’s Car
01 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The moment was like that of a bedraggled and thirsty bandito stumbling across a well in the middle of the Mexican desert. Or Henry Stanley finally finding Dr. David Livingstone. It was catharsis. It was all I could do to stop myself from sinking to my feet and sobbing gently, right there on the sidewalk of 14th Street. I was standing in front of a bona-fide, American issue 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Click link for rest of article.

Why You Need To Watch Formula One Again
31 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
In my humble opinion, Formula One is a sport unparalleled in prestige, tradition, wealth, gamesmanship, sportsmanship and simple, old fashioned bravado. Sure, it’s had its low moments over the years, but name me a sport which hasn’t. The thing is, all this doesn’t automatically mean good entertainment. However in 2011, they really have got it right. Here’s why.

My extensive collection of sunglasses is well documented, and I can tell you right now, without hesitation, that this new pair of Persol “Steve McQueen‘s” from Sunglass Hut is EASILY one of my favourites.

Lindsay Williams Lambasts The Consul General Of Denmark Over Marmite
26 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Lindsay William’s, co-host of the Morning Meeting on 2oceansVibe Radio, is a native son of England. You can imagine his outrage when he discovered that Denmark had implemented a ban on England’s most beloved foodstuff (after tea), Marmite. In typical Lindsay fashion, he called up the Consul General of Denmark in South Africa, live on air, to quizz him on the situation. Please enjoy the ensuing mirth, after the jump.

Gran Touring Like A Boss: We Drive The New BMW 650i Convertible
25 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
A car launch is a wonderful thing, and I do my utmost to appreciate every aspect of it. The flights, the airport lounges, the car itself, the expensive hotel, the expensive food, and then all of that repeated on day two. And every now and then a manufacturer will just fire the accountant and go nuts. Which, I imagine, is exactly what I’ve just experienced on the national launch of the BMW 6-Series Convertible.

MINI Roadster Coming Soon? [Spy Video]
25 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So while the likes of DSquared2 are tarting up the MINI Countryman (here), I see they are looking at launching a MINI Roadster quite soon. I couldn’t get confirmation from MINI SA about this, let alone when they will be bringing them to SA. But if they do…. Mmm mm! We got hold of a […]
