Stats Don’t Lie – Butch James Is Doing Very Well
15 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
What’s wrong with this picture? Does he get bonus points if the kick is especially difficult? And by whose judgment? Are we talking Dan Carter difficult, or JP Pietersen difficult? Does he get extra statistical percentage points if slots a kick while blindfolded, under the influence of prescription pain medication, or with a backheel? Help […]

The Wine Show In All Its Faultering Glory
12 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 9 Comments
I attended the Wine Show Joburg over the weekend. I had planned to write a column comparing the different drinkers at the shows in Joburg to those here in the Cape. I didn’t get very far there.

Things I Wish They Had Told Me Before Oppikoppi
11 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
This year was my first Oppikoppi. I went as press, but I had a lot of fun. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing all these years. I know you’re dying to know, so these were the best performances that I saw: Bittereinder, Michelle Shocked, Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, Not My Dog, and Mr Cat and the Jackal.

08 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
What is your dream? What have you always wanted to start? We all know that we need to start doing certain things now, in order to enjoy the rewards we wish for later. Yet, for some reason, we often put them off, failing to take advantage of the moment. That’s why Sanlam has created National […]

It’s All Going A Bit Hybrid
05 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I think it’s incredibly easy to forget that we are living through one of the great technological revolutions in human history. And the car is of course well and truly part of that revolution. Yesterday I sampled what might be one of the most advanced cars on the road today, and to be honest, I’m not sold.

How To Drink Wine And Not Look Like A Muppet
03 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Forget history lessons, interesting facts, supermarket choices, hints of vanilla, toasted oak or residual sugar;. Let’s be honest, for most people the only reason they want to learn anything about wine – past the operation of a corkscrew – is so they don’t look like a tit.

Is This The End Of The Mad, Fun Hatchback?
02 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
What I love most about touring car championships is that they germinated the idea of the basic pocket rocket in the public mind. Think of the glory days of British touring car championships – would they have been the same without the plucky Mark II Mini bouncing about the track, holding its own against magnificent Jaguars and brutal American Ford Mustangs? Would our idea of a fun hatchback be the same if it wasn’t for touring car championships?

French Cars – Let’s Have That Chat
29 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
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.

Naked Girls Lathered In Bubbly: Just Kidding, Bubbly History Lesson – Part 2
28 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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 […]

A Diplomatic Mission From The Interior
26 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]

ANCYL Website Hacked For A Fourth Time
25 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
This photoshopped poster appeared on the “home page” of the “ANCYL”, “hours ago”. All of this is in quotation marks because apparently just about anything can happen with https://ancyl.org.za, which is currently enjoying an extended period of downtime. As Dumb & Dumber is the official choice of 2oceansVibe as Greatest Film of All Time, we […]

DSTV’s New ‘On-Demand’ Service Dies On Launch Day
23 Jul 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
As DSTV continues to bring out new technologies to disguise the fact that the actual content on Multichoice is a ball of shit, it is with the greatest sense of irony that their very own reality show is playing out and giving the true entertainment value we long for. Yes, it’s true. With all the […]

Bakkies Are Becoming Too Fancy. Or Are They?
22 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Bakkies might be sneakily becoming the new SUVs of our day. They come under a lot less GreenPeace-fire than big luxury 4x4s, and rightly so. They’ve got great diesel engines which are not only powerful but incredibly frugal to boot, and because the load bay is lined with melted rubber instead of the wool of rare sheep, you don’t mind getting it a bit dirty. I just can’t decide if this is a good thing.

Five Online Articles We Could Do Without
19 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
When the internet came along, and it spawned thousands of well-moneyed industries, the writers naturally followed. Tech journalists. Bloggers. Et cetera. These days, normal people do most of their reading on some sort of screen. Writing for online is huge. But it has its own, annoying memes that I wish would end. It’s like a never-ending insider joke and is a bit unimaginative.

This Couple Just Won R1.8 Billion
16 Jul 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
