Well this is just great! I received an email from Warren L, telling me about some statue on a rock and this accompanying iol article.   Large statue keeps beachgoers guessing January 08 2009 at 11:05AM By Michelle Jones Alien.

It’s getting closer and closer (four more sleeps to be exact) to Cape Town’s most glamorous and exclusive social event – the 148th running of the Queen’s Plate! And what a brilliant date they have set! Not too close to New Year, but enough time to gather our senses, get some R&R, top up our […]

With the festive season reaching roughly the half way mark, I am sure we have all taken a moment to consider our waist lines. Personally, I’ve pretty much nailed it with regards to diet. So much so that I am dangerously close to publishing The Rotherham Diet. It’s pretty cool and includes minimum exercise and […]

We’ve been working with a “skeleton staff” over the last few days and I would like to take this very opportunity to announce that we will be reporting on things, as usual, from Monday – the 5th of Jan (I think). I’m back from Hermanus and back in The Safe House. It’s back to normal. […]

Personally I have made no plans yet for New Year. If I was in Cape Town then it would definitely be either Caprice or The Mount Nelson. But I’m in Hermanus and everyone is looking at each other for answers. That includes the two youngsters who were a tad premature with their New Year celebrations […]

God, it’s all just so “festive,” isn’t it? People just LOVE throwing around the word “festive.” And then they frill it up a little more with the word “cheer.” Oh, there is just so much FESTIVE CHEER abound, don’t you think? I looked up festive in this book I wrote ages ago entitled “The Dictionary” […]

Matt O drew my attention to this ad on Gumtree, advertising the following numberplate.   Personalised number plate! LUV KIDS-WP Price Neg. Much sought after plate.. I don’t know how “highly sought after” a numberplate like that is. I mean, if it was owned by a baby sitting/nanny service, like www.childminders.co.za, then I don’t have […]

Given his history of banging their staff, it is kind of expected that Victoria Beckham pulled the plug on a planned hour long interview upon arrival in Milan this week.

Paris Hilton has finally fulfilled her childhood dream of owning a car like the children’s toy doll, Barbie. Stunning. I had the same dream when it came to Noddy’s car that he used to drive.

As the urge for men in their 20’s and 30’s to wear formal hats increases, so too does the confusion over which hat is which. In particular, the trilby versus the fedora.
