Read before 18th March 2010
In the bad old days before everything had a “best before” date printed on it you literally took your life into your hands when you opened a tin of something for dinner. It was quite exciting because if, for example, you bought a tin of ham you had no... Read More
A media tribunal is great news for the internet
There’s a lot of talk about this proposed media tribunal and, as you might expect, journalists are getting their knickers in a knot about the whole thing and claiming that this could be the end of freedom of speech as we know it today. And I suppose it could if you have a vivid enough imagination. O... Read More
David Bullard on cycling and sex
I watched the television coverage of the Tour de France this year and I’ve decided that it’s time my bicycle was taken off the garage wall, the tyres pumped and the cobwebs dusted off the frame in time for summer. Apparently cycle sales have soared in the UK and that’s not just because the impecunio... Read More
David Bullard on Adventure...
What, I wonder, makes a man want to become an adventurer? For example, why would someone like Sir Ranulph Twistleton-Wykeham-Fiennes want to give up a perfectly comfortable lifestyle in the English countryside and cross the Pyrenees on a mule or walk unassisted to the North Pole? Obviously it gives ... Read More
Spring is here, the grass is riz, I wonder where my chainsaw is?
Spring is just around the corner. I know this because I have an almond tree in the garden and the buds have just started to show. By mid to late July the tree will be full of pinky white blossom and Spring will, in effect, be under starter’s orders as far as I am concerned. Then a month later the pl... Read More
Getting in touch with my inner brat
I’ve just come off Twitter where I have clicked on to Lady Gaga’s page and decided to follow her. At over 4.5 million followers she now has more fans on Twitter than Barack Obama (Lord GooGoo?). The decision to follow Lady Gaga may seem a little strange for a 57 year old man so let me explain. Read More
The unbearable lightness of being worth $1million
Last week the Financial Times ran a story on its front page saying that Asian millionaires have overtaken their European counterparts in the global rich list. "No surprise there," I thought to myself. The Asians are an industrious lot and the Europeans are famously broke now that they have di... Read More
The poms are blowing our own trumpets
What was the line from that song American Pie? Something about “the day the music died” as I recall. Well the music died after Uruguay’s second goal against Bafana Bafana last week. The neighbours had been blowing their vuvuzelas enthusiastically for at least an hour before kick off and carried on i... Read More
The FIFA Grinch mellows
It's been a difficult week. I've resisted the temptation to stick a national flag on my car thus far because the flags are obviously made from pretty inferior material and start to fray within a short time. Who wants to drive around with a tattered pennant flapping like a used dish cloth from a plas... Read More
And this year’s winner is….
I was a guest at a luncheon last week to celebrate excellence in business journalism. It was a sumptuous affair at Summer Place and awards were handed out to those deemed worthy enough to receive one. Each winner took away a huge framed certificate with the logos of the sponsors prominently d... Read More
An authentic SA experience for my W***d C*p guest
So it’s finally here then. The footer Weld Cup from the people whose name we are not allowed to mention unless we pay the Fat Controller (Sepp Blatter) a lot of money. Have we been taken for a ride? Well we won’t know until we’ve totted up the accounts in August. If it’s been a financial disaster th... Read More
