LESSONS IN LOVE FOR 2010 Like many of you, on the first day back at the desk, I am struggling to get into it. There are some changes in my life that will affect this site during 2010, but I will tell you about that tomorrow. The galleries too, will be back tomorrow. I promise! For today, I want to share with you an article that I wrote last year. I wrote this article on 31 December, while reflecting on the past year. In fact, while reflecting on the past three years.

THE PLAN FOR 2010 It’s still Monday 4 January, the first day back at the desk after a three-week break, and I am still battling to get into the swing of things. 2009 was a hard year. 2009 was a really hard year. But, with Nellie’s help, we managed a small budget for the much needed yearend break. God knows, we needed it. In the first week of December last year, the universe played yet another practical joke on us, in the form of an accident with our uninsured car. Read More……..

IT’S OFFICIAL: THE G-SPOT DOES NOT EXIST This small area of the female body where nerve endings are concentrated, is supposed to give supreme sexual pleasure if stimulated by a sexual partner. ‘And it does’ I hear you nodding affirmatively, but many, for various reasons, struggle to find this elusive pleasure spot. Well, you can stop searching, and you can stop feeling inadequate for failing to find it – again, for some. It’s official. The G-spot does not exist. ROTFLMAO. Read More………

HOW TO CASH IN ON THE SOCCER WORLD CUP The 2010 Fifa World Cup is around the corner. It’s time to wake up and smell the Koffiehuis. Make no mistake. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. With almost half-a-million soccer fans expected in South Africa for the tournament, creative-thinking South Africans will soon be rolling in the cash. Not all of us are capable of devising creative ways of exploiting this market, and for many, selling boerewors rolls or mince salomies is about as creative as we will get in this field. Read More……..

THE ANNOYING PASSENGER ON THE PLANE Have you ever been on one of those long distance flights, and you have just settled into your cramped economy class seat, when a huge grinning sweating reeking-of-alcohol passenger plomps down in the seat next to you, extends a sweaty palm and introduces himself ‘I’m Jonathan Bollocks. We’re in for a long flight so we might as well get acquainted. What do you say china?’ He then firmly affirms his fat arm on ‘your’ arm rest, half of it almost resting in your lap, and persistently tries to engage you in conversation, while asking the hostess for two double whiskeys. As the hostess leaves he turns to you and grins ‘Phew! She’s hot! I’d like to get into her pants. What do say china?’ Read More………..

TECHNOLOGY TO BEAT FEAR OF REJECTION Whether we want to admit it or not, all sexual relationships start with a physical attraction, and we are all attracted to beautiful people. I say this acknowledging that beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder. We also know that many an attraction is never pursued because of fear of rejection. Sometimes we find out too late that the attraction was mutual. Well, technology has evolved to at least allow us the dignity of not having to deal with that feared rejection face-to-face.

THE YUMMiE LIFESTYLE IS EXPENSIVE On Saturday, Nellie and I went to Zorgvliet Wine Estate for a picnic lunch. The setting, in Banhoek near Stellenbosch, is idyllic. Paradise actually. You can view the pic below – SA Sights Gallery). I was not very impressed with the food, but I contended that people have different tastes. Thank god that we had received a voucher as a gift from one of Nellie’s colleagues. Read More…….

TIGER WOODS IN CAPE TOWN A number of international sources suggest that Tiger Woods is staying in Cape Town until the media storm passes, and several people claim to have spotted him. Staff at the elite Montrose Place in Bishopscourt, where Woods is rumoured to be undergoing treatment for sex addiction, would/could not comment. Read More…….

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD As regular readers will know, I spent a lot of time towards the end of last year writing articles for MommyTalk. The site officially launches on Monday, and I have also been assigned the task of writing a weekly updated column called ‘Parenting – The Bigger Picture.’ Rather, I assigned the task to myself. On Yummie, I have been pretty much writing what ever came to mind for a long time now, and often, even I find many of the articles on Yummie to be sarcastic negative babble. Read More……….

WEIRD NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TUMBLE DRYER THIEF IN USA A teenage resident had a fright when he returned home during the afternoon to discover an intruder in his house, drying his laundry. The 19-year-old man - who hasn't been named - came in through his front door and confronted the hooded man. The intruder quickly grabbed his clothes from the dryer and fled the building in Boynton Beach. He caused $20 worth of damage to the patio door screen - which he had broken into. Read More………

FAME GOES TO SUSAN BOYLE’S HEAD Soon after making waves on Britain’s Got Talent last year, 48-year-old Susan Boyle collapsed and was hospitalised for exhaustion amid fears of her mental state. When Susan, from a tiny village in Scotland, entered the competition, she had never been kissed by a man! That’s how naïve she was. Read More……..

THE ANC CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE Duduzane Zuma, President Jacob Zuma’s son, and Juli-Ass Dilemna have been true to their reputation of living the high life, spending time on luxury boats over the festive season. While on the world's largest passenger ship, The Oasis of the Seas, young Zuma apparently stayed in a suite costing between R150 000 and R250 000 per week. The luxury two-deck suite boasts panoramic views over the water, and even includes its own concierge. Read More…….

MY TAKE ON CRIMINALS ON ETV Greed is but one of the seven deadly sins, but when I reflect on society today, it seems that greed is at the root of most of our problems. The acquisition of wealth has created a greed that is all-consuming. In those obsessed with this curse, it has consumed everything else that is in the nature of man. I am of the opinion that, by screening the story of two criminals outlining their intentions to rob and murder people during the upcoming FIFA World Cup, E-tv was simply confirming that the station, like those criminals, is driven by greed.

THE MOST DESIRABLE WOMAN IN THE WORLD Lists of the sexiest or most beautiful women in the world should really be renamed The Most Beautiful/Sexiest Famous Women in the World. There are many very beautiful unknown women in the world who would knock the socks of some of the women on these lists, but that’s neither here nor there. Apart from beauty being in the eye of the beholder, there are also many different factors to consider. Personally I have various lists for different reasons, and for a woman to be named The Best in The World she would need a combination of things. Read More……..

THINGS YOU DON’T SEE EVERYDAY I couldn’t think of, or find anything interesting to write about today. It’s Friday, and I wanted to do something light-hearted. As usual, the news is filled with disasters and tragedies, and that’s the last thing we want on a Friday isn’t it? So instead, I browsed through the galleries and found some interesting pics of things you don’t see every day. View Gallery……..

JY DINK JY’S COOLER AS EKKE When the email was doing the rounds and I first heard Jack Parow’s ‘Jy dink Jy’s Cooler as Ekke’, my immediate reaction was ‘This is a hit.’ It has all the right ingredients. After hearing the song once, the melody – or lack thereof – is firmly imprinted in your mind. One actually has no control over it. Read More……

MICHAEL JACKSON CALMS VIOLENT CRIMINALS At first glance, I would have sworn that this was a group of gay professional dancers. But when another 1500 dancers joined them in the routine I thought ‘Where the hell do all these gay professional dancers come from. Turns out they are actually rapists, murderers and drug traffickers! Read More………

DO ALIENS EXIST? – JA NEE SAY SCIENTISTS The law of probabilities backs theories that we are not alone in the universe. Given the vastness of the universe, I personally think man would be very naïve to assume that we are unique and that life in some form or other exists does not elsewhere. But, this is one of the great unknowns, and man, by nature, is notorious for his fumbling speculations concerning all things unknown. Read More……..

EYE CANDY FIT FOR KINGS Have you, like me, ever wondered why Royalty refers to themself in the plural when addressing their subjects? According to legend, the royal we (Pluralis Majestatis) was first used in 1169 when English King Henry II (d. 1189), hard pressed by his barons over the investiture controversy, assumed the common theory of "divine right of kings," that the monarch acted conjointly with the deity. Hence, he used "we" as "God and I..." Read More…….
