  • The John Deere V8 Motorbike!

    Yes folks it is true. This motorbike has a 6l Chevrolet V8 engine. It uses 14l/100km and can reach 200km/hour after 200m. And what’s the best thing about it? Without question the John Deere tractor headlights!

  • "Inside man" mini review. No spoilers.

    I was really not expecting too much of this movie. I know it has been getting some good reviews, but surely it was just another bank robbery movie. Well it ain’t. Do yourself a favour and go and see this movie. This is Denzel Washington’s best movie in a long time. Clive Owen is superb…

  • Astounding Big Wave surfing

    This is astounding! Take note of the ominous silence before the wave breaks.

  • More Western naivete on Africa

    The West doesn’t have a clue about Africa. I make this bold statement after having just seen The Constant Gardener. Not a bad movie, but I have some serious issues about the political angle. The movie is about how the West, in this case through big pharmaceutical companies, abuses Africa. I’m certainly no fan of…

  • South African Cricket’s Greatest Day!

    I just wanted to record this on my blog. Even if a million other people write about this, I want to be able to look through my blog one day and remember this feeling. South Africa have just humbled the mighty Aussies in a truly unbelievable way. I remember switching on the TV this morning…

  • Die Ertjie op wit en swart!

    Wel hier is hy nou op Wit en Swart vir die 1ste keer. Vir die van julle wat nog nie weet nie – ek en Lené is verwagtend. Of eerder Lené is nou tussen 11 en 12 weke verwagtend. Voorlopig weet ons nog nie of dit ‘n outjie of ‘n vroutjie is nie so ons…

    George Clooney en sy flieks, Brokeback Mountain, Homoseksualitiet (dit volg dan), Geld en standaard van lewe en Lené word uitgevang deur moderne tegnologie. of laai af.

  • Pathetic Austria disgusts me : Schande Oesterreich!

    My previous post was written as a response to the Muslim Cartoon issue, but lo and behold now this very issue has cropped up in Austria. Today David Irving was JAILED for denying the Holocaust. So let me just get this straight: you can print some very offensive cartoons of Muhammed and everyone (me included)…

  • European Hypocrisy: Free speech but not against Jews

    In a recent post I commended the press across Europe for not bowing to censorship when they published the caricatures of Muhammad. I still applaud this decision. Not because I’m going after Muslims – I have some good Muslim friends, but because in a free democracy there are very few things as precious as free…
