It just had to happen… Seth trumps me to produce the party of t

Everybody knows that I hosted the party of the year in 2009. I just love celebrating my birthday properly. So I invited Frikkie, Lofty, Tich and old Farquaharson round to the Bush Tavern in Umdloti and we had a right skinful while watching the rugger. Never mind that the

The man who will bust a gut to help the children of Stanford

As I wrote here yesterday, Stanford is a village of humungous charm and character. And so are its people. People make the place, yes? Yes. And among many people dedicated to making Stanford an even better place than it already is is Paul Chew. Did I say charm and

In Stanford… cometh Earth Hour, cometh the grand old lady alive

Special places. We all have them. Places where we feel at peace with ourselves. Where we feel immediately at home. This is how I feel about Stanford. And this how I felt when I first came to Stanford in March, 2008. Instantly at home. At one with the place,

This is a blogpost about Bella, the Forrest Gump of the animal wo

I’ve always said that I would blog about anything as long as it didn’t involve cute kids or pets. Too obvious. Too easy. OK, so forget that… and meet Bella… Bella... in classic pose. You should see what her tongue has to do to make way for three tennis

The Heart & Sole Tour – The Last Post: Never mind the bollards!

Only now am I able to deliver the Last Post on The Heart and Sole Tour saga. And it is delivered in pretty much the same key as Peter Sellers used to such diabolical effect in the opening scenes of The Party. I hope that you, dear Hatpeople, will

The Heart & Sole Tour (final day): It’s time to remember…

Yes. It’s time to remember… what the Heart & Sole Tour has been all about. So, as Geoff “Heartman” Brink and I (oh, and Kim, Geoff’s fiancee, who has joined me in the back-up truck) roll into Cape Town today (The Clock Tower, V&A Waterfront, 2pm) to complete

Heart & Sole Tour – Two Days To Go: What a ripper, Bob Skinstad

OK. I need to be like Speedy Gonzalez, my babies. As a 15kph back-up driver on the Heart & Sole unicycle tour, my name and “speedy” don’t ever feature together – but today is the exception. The Heartman has arisen and, despite Stanford’s considerable charms, our homesick unicyclist is

Heart & Sole Tour: The Heartman and Croc Cologne in full 360 deg

Fasten those seatbelts, Heartpeople. I have to issue a health and safety warning here… The following image may bring on feelings of dizziness and acute disorientation. You may experience extreme giddiness and an uncontainable desire to fall to the floor and writhe around in wanton wondrousness. OK. Ready? Just

Heart & Sole Tour – Day 50: Enter Crocodile Cologne!

Look. There you are minding your own business on the side of the road and trying to get a 2,000km unicycle ride from Durban to Cape Town out of the way when a German comes along and steals your deckchair. Um. Well, not exactly. I don’t do stereotypes on

Heart & Sole Tour: Help our cause… and win BIG!

Hello, Heartpeople! Here, somewhat unusually, are a few words from Geoff “Heartman” Brink, aka the Unicyclist on The Heart and Sole Tour… “A few words about the reality of riding a very large unicycle nearly 2,000km across our beautiful country (at the age of 38, 2 months before
