Is Joost van der Westhuizen a shirt-lifting arse-bandit from Planet Gaymo? http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Amor-is-from-Mars-Joost-is-from-Venus-20100901 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:20:38 +0200 If your parents ever told you "it’s not what you look like, it’s what you have inside that matters", you’re now probably old enough to have realised that you were raised by pathological liars. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Boobs-or-GTFO-20100825 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:56:17 +0200 It’s not entirely true to say I met my girlfriend through social media, but it definitely helped. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Anti-social-media-20100818 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:56:21 +0200 Journalists don’t usually slate other journalists in publication, especially if they work for the same media group. Like most other professionals, we think it far more civilised to stab peers and colleagues in the back with underhanded comments on Twitter – our communal office kitchen in cyberspace. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/The-organic-delusion-20100811 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:02:19 +0200 People, those who still talk to me, are often surprised - and sometimes annoyed - when I tell them I don’t drink, which usually happens just after they’ve bought me three tequilas and a beer chaser. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Smokers-suck-20100804 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:34:43 +0200 Damn, we just can’t get enough news about aliens, can we? http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/UFOs-are-idiot-fodder-20100728-2 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:35:24 +0200 Too many years ago, when websites still had grey backgrounds, I wrote a magazine feature about alien vegetation, which was not nearly as boring as it sounds. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Charity-ends-at-home-20100721 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:11:43 +0200 Perhaps whatever god Mel Gibson believes in has a sense of humour. In what will probably be his last movie for a long, long time, he stars opposite Hollywood’s most unlikely housewife, Jodie Foster, as a husband and father trying to save his family through his relationship with a hand puppet. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Mel-Gibson-what-a-beaver-20100714 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:02:51 +0200 Metal is the white hip-hop. Both are defiant, proudly working class (or whatever polite term for poor-ass nobodies you prefer) and more concerned with style, culture and fashion than the actual music. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Defending-white-boy-music-20100708 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:29:18 +0200 The relationship between parents and their child is much like the relationship between a dog and a fire hydrant – except that in this case, the fire hydrant keeps squirming until it’s old enough to get the hell out of there – hopefully before the dog’s continual attentions eats through the paint job and destroys it for life. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/The-gift-that-keeps-on-taking-20100630 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:34:18 +0200 Famous people's deaths have always caught me offsides. Stars aren't meant to wrinkle and waste away. They're meant to live for ever, like Peter Pan. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Dying-just-a-stage-20100625 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:48:43 +0200 Sports commentary must be the easiest job in the world. It’s a simple matter of mixing metaphors and combining clichés with the searingly obvious while wearing a hideous tie. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Victory-is-ours-20100623 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 12:48:30 +0200 This is probably going to be my last column for Channel24, because 30 seconds after its publication I’ll no doubt be arrested and thrown in jail to begin my new life as a prop in my cellmate’s game of Happy Families. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Mileys-Smiley-20100617 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:49:10 +0200 Through sport and music we get to live in one world - even if only for a moment, says Anton Marshall. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/We-ARE-the-world-20100611 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:56:13 +0200 Because I care so little about the football that I still call it soccer, I’m at a bit of a loss for a column subject this week. http://www.channel24.co.za/Columnists/Articles/Football-fever-get-well-soon-20100609 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:57:29 +0200
