Earlier this week Seth told you about the “Give Respect, Get Respect” campaign in America. It seems four- and two-wheeled road users in the UK might also benefit from this message.

25 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
There was a fair amount of sport to watch this past weekend, but I was particularly looking forward to watching the closing rounds of the Billabong Pro surfing event that was on at J-Bay in the Eastern Cape. Jordy Smith had been surfing well and it looked like he could make the final. He did, and he won, again.

25 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Springboks can count themselves lucky that this was a massive weekend for news; a weekend which included an international terror event, the death of a user of massive quantities of drugs, and corruption allegations being lead against a certain J. Malema.

Boks Arrive In Sydney, With No Fanfare
18 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Springboks customarily receive a flurry of questions from Australian media, and a warm welcome from South African expats, when landing in Sydney. Not so much yesterday, when they arrived at around 8pm local time to be greeted by green and gold wearing…crickets. “Where is everybody?” joked captain John Smit.

Awkward: BBC Introduces Rupert Murdoch’s Biographer As A Baseball Expert [VIDEO]
15 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Michael Wolff is a very influential American journalist who has lately been doing a lot of television interviews. This makes sense, seeing as he wrote a biography of media mogul Rupert Murdoch two years ago, titled “The Man Who Owns the News”. But see what happens when the BBC wrongly introduces him live on air as Ben Walker, baseball editor for the Associated Press! Awkward.

Last week, an American firefighter, Shannon Stone, attempted a crowd baseball catch, lost his footing and fell 6m. He later died from his injuries.

12 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
“Ti amiamo, Armani” means (roughly): “We love you Armani, and your timeless style – and we need you to design our tracksuits for London 2012”. That’s what Italy’s Olympic Committee has arranged for the Azzurri for the Summer Olympics next year.

Adderley Street Flower Sellers The Moer In With City Prawn Lane
12 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Flower selling in Adderley Street, Cape Town, is tradition in one of its purest forms. For some 100 years, man has always known he merely has to make a short drive into town, come rain or shine, to demonstrate old fashioned chivalry. Unfortunately, it appears an unused prawn lane is now hurting business, say the sellers.

The Stormers Stumble
08 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As a stormers fan, one can hardly be upset by last Saturday’s shellacking at The hands of New Zealand’s finest. For starters they were so vastly superior in every facet of the game that you could hardly hold it against them. They played rugby that was a joy to watch, they were infinitely more physical than us and they had an ingredient in spade loads that we seemed to lack, that is that “they started with the why”.

Running Squirrel Versus Lamborghini – Who Wins? [VIDEO]
01 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In their never-ending pursuit to find nuts, squirrels can sometimes forget to look left and right before crossing the road. The end result of this is not always nice, trust me, I work in Stellenbosch and see this daily. But check out this cheeky bugger – attempting to outrun a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV going at 160km per hour. That’s bold!

With team names like Hell’s Angelfish and Gold Fusion, it was always going to be hard to take this seriously.

Brace yourselves.

Originally published in August 2010, it seems appropriate to drag this column back to the surface. Ricky Januarie has announced his retirement from international rugby, with the intention of cashing in on a few Francs and frites by playing club rugby for french club, Lyon.
