Hierdie skrywe is kommentaar op Of generations, arseholes, Isreal and volkstate, ‘n uitmindende weldeurdagte skrywe deur Mhambi, en sy kommentaar. ‘n Mens (lees Marthinus) moet nie jou kop breek oor die woord liberalisme nie. Dis semantics. In sekere gevalle is liberalisme nie ‘n slegte ding nie. Maar ek stem 100% saam met jou dat “unquestioning tolerance”…

Ek is ‘n groot aanhanger van Apple se goed. In Engeland het ek ‘n Nano gekoop en dit was fantasties – ek gebruik hom nou nog; by die werk gebruik ons iTunes as ons musiekspeler en ek het onlangs oorgeskakel na Safari as my amptelike browser. Apple se ontwerp is net eenvoudig die beste ,…

Last week Lené and I had our first decent holiday in 18 months. We took a four-day trip to Knysna. We asked Lené’s parents to look after Elke and predictably they were more than happy to oblige. We stayed at the 4-star Knysna Quays hotel. I would say the Hotel is OK. The ground staff…

Gisteraand het ‘n weird en lang droom gehad. Hy’t so gegaan: 1ste scene: Daar is ‘n klomp mense wat saam in ‘n kamer slaap. Ek, ‘n dokter en ‘n swart man lê op een bed. Niks gebeur nie, maar die volgende oggend toe ek wakker word word daar op my skouer geopereer deur die dokter.…

On Sunday morning we took the kids to the PE Oceanarium. The kids loved it. I can recommend it if you have kids, but otherwise its a bit thin. I don’t know who runs it, but one definitely gets an “African feeling”; to the place. It just isn’t as tidy and well maintained as it…

Here, word for word, is the column that got respected journalist David Bullard sacked. It is available at its original location at The Sunday Times, but since he has already been sacked I’m not sure how long this column will still be available online. I think Bullard just got fed up with the “blame the…

Yesterday was the last day of the 2008 Bathurst Show. This year the show was a 100 years old. We took Elke (1½) and we met my father and my brother-in-law and his son, Gustav (2½), and his parents. The kids loved it! They “drove” some impressive equipment and checked the engines and kicked a tyre…

On Friday I took Elke to our new house to take photos. I got out of the car and walked around to her side. As I was about to open the door I heard a “slithering” movement. In that instant – before I could even turn around to look – I knew from the sound…

Yesterday I had my best 9 holes in more than 10 years. I scored a ringless round of 51 at the Alexandria Golf Club. This was also my 4th game in 10 years so I am very pleased. I hit 3 great approach shots. The best was an 8-iron out of the rough that landed…

Charl Langeveldt is another victim of South Africa’s disastrous sports Transformation policy. Strangely though, Charl Langeveldt is a player “of colour” and as such supposed to benefit from “Transformation”. As readers may know André Nel was very publicly dropped from South Africa’s cricket tour to India in favour of Charl Langeveldt. The reason for Nel’s…
