Thanks to David Fisher for pointing me to this brilliant article by Barney Mthombothi. I urge all South-Africans – in or out of the country – to read this. You have to make your own judgements on this, but I found it encouraging. To hear Barney Mthombothi, a black author, uttering these words makes me…

The Springboks were given their 2nd worst drubbing in history today. They were absolutely smashed by a Wallaby side that was murdered by an All-Black side last week. The Wallabies were good, but the biggest reason for today’s loss was how bad the Springboks were. I was at the 53-3 loss against England and I…

I finally found the time to test my new Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens. I went to the Wimbledon Common, one of my favourite places in the world, at magic hour (1 hour before sunset) and played around a bit. Although there is much to learn, I am very pleased with the initial results. See the…

18 year old Christopher Lees was “detained” for animal cruelty today after repeatedly throwing a cat from a fifth storey. Whilst I’m glad this piece of shit has been caught I can’t help but wonder what “detained” actually means. I doubt it means jail (else they would have said so) so I wonder why not.…

I supported Italy from the start, but after their diving exhibition against the US, I stopped supporting them. There is no other way to describe diving: it is cheating – plain and simple. Italy beat Australia…

I am sorry but I have no sympathy for anyone who gets hurt in the Pamplona bull run. If you want to play with fire then you will get burned. I do feel very sorry for the bulls though. Yet again the Spanish have found a way to exploit animals to provide them with entertainment…

LenT spoiled me with a weekend away in Poole and Bournemouth in Dorset. I am disappointed that we only discovered Dorset 1 month before we’re going home. This is now my favourite place in England. It beats the previous winner, Cornwall, by a long shot. There aren’t any waves to speak of, but the beaches…

Today I celebrated (is that the word?) my 33rd birthday. I was woken up with a card, a present and a birthday song by Lené. This evening Lené took me out for a meal at a nice restaurant. Thanks to Charles, Soma, Christiaan, Niel, Pierre, Rulan, Rhalda, Katinka, Abbie, Itanje, Thinus, Cathy, Ingrid, Fredri and…
