Once again, I apologise for my lack of effort over the past week, but thanks to the messiest fortnight of my life, my brain has decided to take a temporary leave of absence. Arrived in Cuzco, Peru direct from La Paz for the biggest weekend of the year (independence day weekend), and hoping to escape [...]

I guess if you’re locked up for a long time, spending your time in dance classes wouldn’t be a terrible idea. A real nice team builder for you and your fellow inmates.
The “girlfriend” is a real highlight.

La Paz has been fucking brutal. And I�ve said it before, if you�re heading to South America, make sure you check in at any Loki hostels you can find. Crazy, crazy times. Lots of fit birds. Lots of vomit.
During the days, I�ve spent a sizeable amount of time recouperating in the tv room with [...]

God, this is a tough question.
Let´s set the scene: I´m pretty wasted. I just watched the newest Die Hard movie (review to come), and I´m torn. John McClane is a fucking demon. If you have´t seen the flick, you have no fucking idea. But then again…Jack Bauer. He´s no dirt-tracker. And he´s my [...]

News24 have the following to say:
David Beckham’s move to LA Galaxy has already set the cash tills ringing at the Major League Soccer [...]

Not sure what more needs to be said. Although I am reminded of the timeles words of Mel Brooks in The History Of The World (Part 1): “It´s good to [almost] be the king!”.
Aside: gotta love Bolivia, land of ugly people and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Stocking up on Valium, Vicodin and Xanax…beautiful!

Just rocked into Uyuni in Bolivia after spending four days thumping through deserts and wastelands of the Bolivian puna and altiplano, stopping from time to time to take photos of some lovely multi-coloured lakes, geysers and salt flats. It was all quite splendid. Although I did spend most of day 3, um, “cleansing” myself [...]

This could quite possibly be the most exciting thing to hit South Africa since tuberculosis.
I received a promotional email, which I believe may have been misguided, informing me that Pauly Shore will be performing shows in South Africa during July. And I use “promotional” in its loosest sense. In the same sense that the Book [...]

God. Sometimes I really feel like a fucking sellout for thinking some of the rubbish I write about could ever constitute news. But Nicole Richie is a playa. And now she´s got a bun in the oven. To quote her significantly-more-tanned father, Nicole Richie is now, at least, once, twice, three times [the size of [...]
