Prawn Spotted In Media24′s Reception
02 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Spotting a prawn in full attire with a helmet on, in a public place, will alarm even the most relaxed individual. But imagine how it felt for Nick H, as he wandered through Media24’s reception area and was presented with THIS! In his own workplace! Poor thing. The irony of the ‘No Firearms’ sign (a […]

The 2011 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race
01 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It was just the other day that someone sent out a tweet, asking the difference between the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and another event involving horses. I scoffed at the notion, adding that it was akin to comparing chalk and cheese. But not just any cheese – I was referring to a rich blue stilton cheese […]

Another Candid KP Tweet
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I love Twitter. You know why? Because some sportsmen and women speak their minds instead of regurgitating cliche’s from the “Sportsmen and Women’s Book of Hackneyed Ways to Respond to Interviews”. KP once referred to the ECB as a bunch of muppets in a tweet. Now he is having a go at the Adelaide groundsmen ahead of Friday’s second Ashes test.

Singapore Confirms That Banana Hammocks Are Undignified
30 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Singapore’s national water polo team is in a bit of trouble with the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts for their latest uniform design – which places the crescent moon and stars from the Singaporean flag right about where a crescent-moon-shaped part of the anatomy would be if they weren’t wearing anything.

England 2018 Labels The BBC An “Embarrassment”
30 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
South Africans have first hand experience of disappointment in World Cup bids after missing out in 2006 to Germany. England’s 2018 bid has seen nothing but controversy since then. Now the public broadcaster is climbing on the Bandwagon of Shame.

The Ashes Twitter Confusion
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
An American woman has unwittingly become the talk of the town on Twitter. Or should I say, the talk of thousands of Ashes followers. Of course we all know that the Ashes pits Australia against England in a 5-test match series; unfortunately this poor woman doesn’t even know what a wicket is. Tweedicament.

Fear The Boklash
26 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
I must say that for all the cynicism surrounding recent Springbok performances, one overwhelming positive is that pundits are speaking their minds. However, after all the whingeing it’s time for some serious reflection and Jake White’s recent blog will take you through the key battles ahead of the biggest test match of the year at Twickers.

Want to waste some time in the office this morning? I have found the perfect procrastination tool. FIFA have released their shortlist for the best goal of 2010. There are ten candidates and all of them will leave you dribbling on your papers. All ten.

Absolute No-No
24 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Spotted just this weekend by a 2oceansviber at Canal Walk. Not only is our boy wearing a helmet indoors in a public space – but he has also mounted the middle bar of the bicycle, as he attempts to chill-out and shoot-the-breeze with a fellow Canal Walker. Less than ideal.. [thanks calvyn]

2oceansviber Makes Marathon Running History
24 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
2oceansviber and extreme marathon runner, Ryan Sandes has become the very first person in the biological history of human kind to run and win all four of the 4 Deserts marathon series. The last race, which took place in sub-zero Antarctica, saw Sandes take control of the the lead early on, and never relinquish it. There you have it, conclusive proof that 2oceansvibers are stronger, smarter, and more likely to posses the necessary skills to inspire submission than any other group of people.

“Once Upon A Time, I Socked Sir Alex Ferguson”
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Non-Manchester United fans would love nothing more than winning the league against Sir Alex Ferguson and watching his face become as scarlet and contorted as they’re used to seeing when things do not go his way. One player boasts a different type of victory – he threw a haymaker, which landed the wily, old Scot on his backside.

Scottish Footy Refs Strike Over Attack Fears
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I’ll stand by my own admission that South Africans are critical of referees in sporting fixtures. Having said this I have never quite seen a story where referees have threatened to strike for fearing their safety. In Scotland the refs have suffered some serious abuse.

Official Andy Irons Paddle Out Video
19 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
There is a pretty cool tradition recognised by surfers around the world, called a ‘paddle out.’ It is usually performed in recognition or as a memorial to fallen surfers. With the recent untgimely death of surf legend Andy Irons, surfers the world over performed paddle-outs in silent tribute to their fallen brother. Video after the jump.

Australian Rugby Player Raped A Dog (No Spice)
19 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
There’s literally no excuse for getting drunk and taking pictures of your team-mate’s Labrador performing a sex act on you, as Canberra Raiders winger, Joel Monaghan did. I’ve tried and I can’t think of a single scenario where that would be an appropriate course of action.

The All Blacks Compete In A Tank-Driving Contest
19 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Kevin Mealamu is a talented individual. Not only is the master of getting away with blatant head butts (yawn), but also he is pretty masterful at driving a tank. Competing with fellow ABs Conrad Smith and Piri Weepu, Mealamu shows that even if he was out of rugby for months, he could combine his head butting and tank-driving skills to become quite the serviceman. [VIDEO]

Bok Impersonators Ruffle A Few Feathers
18 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It seems that social media impersonators are creating a bit of discomfort within the Springbok camp. While I’m not sure I have found any that are intended to deceive the public (and media), I did find a rather comical example dedicated to one Bakkies Botha. More after the jump.

Hair Advice From Jimmy Bullard [VIDEO]
16 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ever wondered how Jimmy Bullard pulls off the debonair look the way he does? I recently found the answer as Bullard was cast in the 21st birthday advert for all-in-one shampoo, Wash-‘N-Go in March this year. Ever the comical character, the Hull City midfielder should give up football and become a style-guru. [VIDEO]

China Coach Blasts Her 10-Goal Scoring Team
15 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Have you ever had a sports coach that berated you even if you conceded just one try/goal/point, but still won? I found there was always one coach who demanded perfection that was a bit beyond his/her team (particularly if they were coaching the U16C hockey side). It appears China women’s football coach has some pretty high standards.

Refining Our Attitude Towards The Springboks
15 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
It was with a great sense of pride that I watched the Springboks grind out the most narrow of victories against the Welsh on Saturday. While blood streamed down Huw Bennett’s face, the victorious Boks held their exhausted arms aloft. The next time we meet will be in Wellington on September 11 next year. We have a lot to look forward to.

This will come as a major surprise to Chelsea supporters. The former Chelsea and Manchester United footballer Ray Wilkins, has vacated his post as assistant manager with immediate effect. The timing of his decision is surprising and it will certainly test Carlo Ancelotti as a manager over the coming weeks.

Divided Mancs
10 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Michael McIntyre thinks Man United and Man City sound like gay clubs rather than football teams. He might be right, but The City of Manchester Stadium will be a floodlit war-zone tonight, as the Blue Mancs do battle with the Red Mancs. On like Donkey Kong.
