Prematch Jitters
08 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This fixture has been on my mind all week. It’s been inescapable. I’ve tried to bury my head in my work but I’m genuinely concerned. If Western Province manage to negotiate their way through their Sharks bogey tomorrow, they will avoid the the possibility of daunting trips to both Bloemfontein and Durban. The situation calls for a vociferous Newlands.

Basejumping Off Chapmans Peak [VIDEO]
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Can your brain even compute that headline? I mean seriously, WTF? And you know what kind of basejumping they’re doing? It’s not the one where they jump and pull the wire immediately – no, no – it’s the one where they wear a bat-suit, fly down the face of the mountain for a while and THEN they pull the wire. Insane! Check out the video!

Football Manager Sacked During A Game
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Chichester City is an amateur football club you’re probably completely unaware of. Well, it seems that the directors of that particular club will do whatever it takes for the club to climb the echelons of British football. They remarkably sacked the club’s manager Mark Poulton, while he was on the sideline of his team’s Cup match against a local rival. Stitch-up.

07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s been an awesome few days for the South African swimmers, but there are more problems for the organisers of the Commonwealth Games, as the warm-up pool in the Aquatics arena is being blamed for causing several upset stomachs. Some of the swimmers have had to withdraw from competition. Pooh.

Cigar Guy An Overnight Photoshop Sensation
05 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
That inspirational fellow known as ‘Cigar Guy’ has certainly caught the attention of photo-manipulating gurus in the past 24 hours. Amazingly, this photo has developed a whole new vibe since it was taken: originally a snap of Tiger Woods’ chip travelling towards a cameraman’s lens, it’s now the birth of a new character in the Where’s Wally books. Where’s Cigar Guy? Sounds good, won’t you agree?

Who Said Test Match Cricket Was Dead?
05 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
VVS Laxman withstood severe back spasms to guide India to a thrilling 1-wicket win over the Aussies this morning to ensure that Ricky ‘Punter’ Ponting is still winless as captain on Indian soil. The hosts were in a bad way at 124-8 chasing 216, but an immense 10th-wicket stand of 81 between Laxman and Ishant Sharma propelled the Indians within touching distance of the win.

Tiger had a phenomenal round yesterday, ending the tournament joint top-scorer with Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Steve Stricker. However, it wasn’t looking promising for him when this frozen moment was recorded!

McDowell Holds Nerve As Europeans Regain The Ryder Cup
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
What an end to an up-and-down, stop-start Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor. The Europeans have won, despite an awesome American comeback in the singles matches. The class of the Irish shone through as Graeme McDowell held a remarkable putt on the 16th to seize the initiative from Hunter Mahan, who conceded on the 17th to hand Europe a memorable victory.

Advantage Grunters
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A recent study has revealed what many of us have known for years. If you make an unholy grunting noise as you hurtle a tennis ball towards someone at 180km/h, their reaction times might be ever so slightly diminished.
Strange, but true.

Same Old Story For Boyish Arsenal
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Didier Drogba proved yet again to be the scourge of Arsene Wenger’s striplings. Incredibly, his deft backheel was his 13th goal in just 11 starts against the Gunners and it’s as plain as the nose on one’s face that he relishes playing against them. Arsenal were dragooned off the pitch once again by a Chelsea side that ran out 2-0 winners.

Will India’s Commonwealth Games Leave A Legacy?
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A similar question has been asked countless times amongst South Africans after we successfully hosted sport’s biggest mega-event. India is the second fastest-growing economy in the world and has had to spend £3bn to host the games, 60 times the original budget!

New Zealand Herald Tees Up The All Blacks For Epic Fail
01 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
Jinxed, much? Please, enjoy this photograph of the front page of the New Zealand Herald, dated Wednesday 29 September 2010. That’s unusually arrogant for an agriculturally-based society, isn’t it?

That’s because the first thing that headhunted potential employees ask themselves is, “Is this company a sinking ship?” And SA Rugby, the company, is a sinking ship.

KEVIN PIETERSEN STAYING AT HIS PARENTS’ PLACE THIS WEEKEND
10 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
You can take the boy out of Maritzburg… Since suffering a monumental loss of form for his adopted, beloved, esteemed, most highly regarded homeland, England, Kevin “KP” Pietersen has made a rather quiet return to KwaZulu-Natal – the land from whence he first spawned. That’s understandable, I hear you say. Sometimes all you need to […]

THE SPRINGBOKS START THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK
10 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I enjoy countdown clocks. Remember that 2010 World Cup Football countdown? My God – it feels like you will never reach the end. But then, BANG, it comes and goes and on we go! I reckon we should keep an eye on this one as well, because it’s gonna move faster than you think! Are […]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE LOS ANGELES
07 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This was just MMS’d to me by The Advertiser, who took this pic on his phone, somewhere in Venice Beach. No-one bats an eyelid at stuff like this around Los Angeles – it’s completely normal! ‘Awesome’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. I mean, seriously, there is so much to talk about. The tassels. The […]

IN CASE WE HAD FORGOTTEN: ANDY RODDICK REMINDS US THAT HE’S A BRAT
03 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Haters gonna hate… On Tuesday Andy Roddick, the current darling of United States tennis, reminded everyone who might have begun to believe otherwise that he does indeed have the temperament of an infant. After protesting a foot fault call by a line judge, which was proved to be correct by video replay, Roddick postured for […]

THE INSPIRATIONAL FOOTBALL SPEECH, OZZY STYLE
30 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]

iPAD: GREAT FOR THE SUMO’S FULL-FIGURE-FINGERS
26 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]

NEW BREED OF PRAWN DISCOVERED IN MALAWI
24 Aug 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It is beyond me that something is not being done about the prawn epidemic on a government level. For something that started in the coffee shops of Cape Town, to have spread across the globe as far as Japan, London, Venezuela and Putney, I think the urgency of the matter could never be greater. Especially […]

RICHIE McCAW DIVORCES OS DU RANDT
18 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Online encyclopedia and paragon of humankind’s collective knowledge, WikiPedia, has proven it’s unbridled accuracy once again. Remember the story about WikiPedia referring to Sepp Blatter as a dickhead? And how the South African presidency made the fatal error of pulling that corrupted biographical info from WikiPedia and pasted it on their site? Well, we hope […]

THE DEAR LEADER’S KID FLIPS OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT
02 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The North Korean football team, along with it’s entire complement of staff, were recently subjected to a “grand debate”, to discuss the tender matter of their ideological betrayal of their nation. The players were hoofed up on stage, and the big daddys spanked them for about six hours. I was actually there at the time. […]

THE MANY ADVENTURES OF JIMMY JUMP

Seth posted this footage of a man allegedly trying to steal the World Cup (that’s right, the trophy) at the 2010 Fifa World Cup final at Soccer City on July 11. Some of you were kind enough to point out that “a man” was actually Jimmy Jump, a 34 year old professional pitch invader and […]

SPOTTED AT THE GRAND ON THE BEACH
22 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Just cruising over the sand in funny shoes. It’s one thing taking off your helmets (ta) but, let’s face it, that doesn’t make it ok.. Not ideal – taking your overseas guests for a lunch and exposing them to a pair of balls on a sunny weekend. Or your kids – let’s not forget about […]

WHY, AB, WHY?

You know AB De Villiers, the South African cricket team’s star batsman? Well, he’s singing now – the recorded kind. And, best of all, he’s making music videos for his moer lekker treffers. In his powerful ballad, titled Maak Jou Drome Waar (“Make Your Dreams Come True), AB teams up with previously obscure but presumably […]
