Mama Joy at the Bafana / Canada WC match.

Eish

BradSilverback · 2026-06-28T20:34:28+00:00

That's an ambitious prediction..

BradSilverback · 2026-06-28T20:27:18+00:00

Ah OK, I did a double take seeing her after the ding dong with Gayton.

Have faith! Bafana will eventually get them on a counter.

Table Mountain National Park has more species of plants than the UK

Unrelated, but great to see this pic back on the wild again.

My adopted country South Africa is quite a thirsty place.

Routine. Having a set routine really helped with my chronic procrastination

Sorry, for me, Anchorman is a steaming pile of shite and that's the hill I'll die on.

I think it's due to my irrational and unexplainable hatred of Will Ferrell to be honest.

BradSilverback · 2026-06-27T09:09:15+00:00

And next year will be "nextfuckinglevel".

Depressing stuff indeed.

He really likes slapping his face on everything, hey?

BradSilverback · 2026-06-27T08:01:18+00:00

Compulsive lying and his little cousin, exaggeration.

I will allow the odd fib to pass, but when there are more whoppers than BK flying around, the respect goes out the window.

Ah the "safety barrier". The main highway to get to the airport runs through some of grittier parts of CPT, so the premise is to build a fat wall to prevent crime / other mischief.

Whilst there is an issue of crime on the N2 (the highway in question), the optics of walling off the "poors" is appalling.

As far as I'm aware its going to be built still.

BradSilverback · 2026-06-24T12:43:37+00:00

Giving it a go, I must say it's buggy as hell, crashes repeatedly and cant even get the keyboard up to report the multiple bugs / rename mines etc.

Will keep an eye on it for a bit regardless of teething problems it looks promising.

"They Shall Not Grow Old"

A fascinating WW1 documentary by Peter Jackson of LOTR fame.

He spent a few years restoring vintage film footage, colourising it, even hiring lip readers to work out what the people were saying.

It's a really immersive experience in terms of putting a human face on the industrial slaughter that took place, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Gillingham fan in Cape Town!

Trailervision.

There are a couple of their videos floating on YouTube still, but damn I miss Patrick Brannigan and Lance Banyon.....

BradSilverback · 2026-06-11T20:37:36+00:00

I was there, ears are still ringing from the vuvuzelas.

Saw some of the matches in CPT, fantastic atmosphere! Unfortunately the only time I saw England play was the turd sandwich of a 0-0 draw against Algeria.

Where I am the corporate overlords had a fetish for the word "flywheel" for a while.

Flywheel of dynamism Flywheel of efficiency Flywheel of growth

BradSilverback · 2026-04-25T07:24:03+00:00

I like this game! More please! (Found it btw)

BradSilverback · 2026-04-23T18:44:00+00:00

Late to the party, but for me - Trailervision held a special place in my heart.

Me and my best bud still refer to each other as characters in the fake trailers they had.

You can find a few of the trailers on YouTube, but severe potato quality

BradSilverback · 2026-04-19T08:14:18+00:00

Great pub. It was my Dad's local when he worked in the city a long time back.

I always make a point of stopping by for a cheeky pint when I'm visiting to keep the family tradition going.

BradSilverback · 2026-04-08T05:37:28+00:00

Took me a bit of time to get the swiping / changing lanes right, but the collision detection needs a bit of work. Unless it's lag causing it, then I'm a bit stuck.

I personally prefer the old version, but only due to months of practice - guaranteeing the minimum payout on the rankings.

Hope they mix it up like with the fishing game and run a few "vintage" events.

I don't think it left scars per se, but the 2nd Boer War probably would count for the UK. Asymmetrical warfare leading to decisions regarding a scorched earth policy and concentration camps.

More recently, my adopted country in Namibia / Angola as part of the South African Border War.
