Is It Too Good To Be True?

Like the time I scored 10ft Pipeline all by myself, got out the water to a warm embrace from Whitney Port, found a winning lottery ticket in the sand, discovered a way to eat as much McDonalds as I like without getting fat and then stumbled into a leprechaun who showed me the way to […]

Old School Is Cool

It’s that time of the year again. While we’ve all been engrossed in the heady heights of top-flight international rugby the oft-neglected yet terrifically important apogee of domestic rugby has snuck up on us like a sex tape sneaks up on an unsuspecting Hollywood starlet. The Super 14, the Inbound Tours and the great return […]

In The Eye of the Storm

See what I did with the heading? You know, the whole eye-gouging thing. And there’s been somewhat of a media “storm” over the whole debacle. Pretty smart hey? My gran always said I was a cunning linguist. Pity Pieter de Villiers isn’t, although the lady from the car in the parking lot may beg to […]

Katy Perry is a Sage, Stacked.

Katy Perry has a very, very impressive décolletage and so, naturally, she is wonderful and everything she says is truth. When she sang the words “You’re hot and you’re cold/You’re yes and you’re no/You’re in and you’re out/You’re up and you’re down/You’re wrong when it’s right/You’re black when it’s white/We fight we break up/We kiss […]

Well, I guess Pigs can Fly

The UCT PGDA programme is the devil’s work. Not only has it ruined my usually extremely sexy social life but it has also robbed me of my most beloved of pastimes, posting on this venerable website. But, with a 5 week study break ahead of me, I have managed to fend off the rigours of […]

Rassie Erasmus Rings the Changes, Thinks it’s 2008

Hello. Hoesit. Kia Ora. G’day. The firm grasp of UCT PGDA and the ineptitude of my internet provider has kept me at more than arms length from my computer for too long. But I’m back in the blogmosphere and 100% of the people polled in my bedroom are mildly excited by this.
Week 4 sees the […]

The Super 14 is Coming, Prep the Wife/Girlfriend/Lecturer

Nothing, and believe me when I say this, nothing, gets me more excited than the Super 14. Not holidays down the Transkei, not the first cane after exams, not Lindsay Lohan’s latest sideboob, not even the rearcourt view of Ana Ivanovic’s ad-court serve. And with three weeks to go until the tournament kicks off, I […]

Matt Stevens is Positive, Apologetic

“Fame is a bee. It has a song. It has a wing. Ah, too, it has a sting.” Emily Dickinson sure knew what she was talking about when she wrote her poem “Fame is a Bee”, even back in 1763. Fast forward a few hundred centuries and I’ll bet you those words are ringing true in […]

Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukah. Habari Gani. Happy New Year. Etcetera. Etcetera.

Holy Guacamole it’s been a long time since my last post. While this absenteeism may be seen as a stain on my otherwise utterly professional debut to the glamorous world of blogging, let me assure you I have spent many nights in self-chastisement in an attempt to straighten myself out. That and drinking and gambling […]

Sanibonani

Greetings from the Gateway to the Zulu Kingdom, the Last Outpost of Colonialism and the home of the Bunny Chow, South Africa’s greatest rugby union and rugby’s sexiest blogger *blushes*. A week of post-exam release and Steers King Size Deals has come to an end. Cane sales sky-rocketed, pavements were painted, dance moves were invented, girls […]
