Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa was recently declared one of the provisional “7 new Wonders of Nature” in a campaign that lasted 4 years and was decided by public vote – more than 100 million votes were counted.
Other winners included The Amazon, Halong Bay in Vietnam and the Komodo Island in Indonesia. While re-counting and verification still needs to take place, we are sure Table Mountain will remain as one of the Worlds 7 New Wonders of Nature.
For Capetonians, Table Mountain is a source of immense pride and enjoyment – from Cable Car trips to rock-climbing, amazing fauna and flora to incredible hikes, Table Mountain has it all. Continue Reading

We all know that Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam Tournament still played on grass and most of us are aware that at 17, Boris Becker was the youngest player (and first unseeded player and first German) to win the men’s singles title… but here a few facts that might be entirely new to even the most ardent tennis fans.
Next Saturday the 11th of June, more than 1000 people are expected to participate in the London Naked Bike Ride. Should this number be achieved, it will officially go down in history as the largest naked protest in London.
The worldwide event is staged for many reasons – it’s a demonstration against oil dependency, a call to protect the environment, a celebration of the human body, a call for safer cycling lanes and facilities and a campaign to encourage more people to use bikes to get around in cities.

We all know that exercise is essential for a healthy body and mind, and a long life. But what if you simply loathe the gym and could think of nothing worse than putting on a pair of shorts and speedwalking through a Park?
We did a little investigating and came up with these 5 alternative ways to keep fit – some new, some not so new – all of them invigorating and fun!
1. Slacklining
Slacklining is a fairly new “sport” which is quickly gaining popularity in Australia, the USA and certain European countries. A slackline is basically webbing, which is strung up between two trees or poles. The idea is first to learn to balance on the line, then to walk on it and finally to do awesome tricks, just as you would on a trampoline! It is a fantastic core workout, helps to improve balance, focus and determination and has been shown to have great results among those with ADHD. Did we forget to mention it is also loads of fun and highly addictive!
2. Bikram
Bikram is a specific type of yoga developed by Bikram Choudry in 1974. If you’re thinking yoga is for girls who eat a lot of lentils, you couldn’t be more wrong! Bikram yoga is a 90-minute workout that will have even the fittest, strongest rugby player sweating, shaking and praying for relief! Essentially a series of 26 postures, Bikram yoga is practiced in a room heated to around 40° C to help detoxify the body and facilitate a deeper stretch. Many heated yoga studios also offer flow or vinyasa yoga, which is a more dynamic and (some say) more intense workout. If it’s mental and physical wellbeing you’re after, along with a super-fit, toned body, bikram yoga is your best bet!
3. Bossaball
Described as a mixture between football, trampoline, volleyball and gymnastics, this high-energy game is played on an inflatable court with an integrated trampoline on either side of a volleyball net. Teams consist of 3-5 players, with only one player per team on the trampoline at any given time and the other players on the inflatables. As with volleyball the objective is to spike the ball so that it hits the floor (in this case the trampoline or inflatables) on the other team’s side. A maximum of 8 contacts is allowed before the ball has to pass over the net; and players are allowed to pass the ball using any part of their body. Bossaball was developed by Belgian Filip Eyckmans in 2005 and is slowly growing in popularity. Bossaball could make it to the UK soon, but for now you might have to travel to Spain, Holland or Portugal to get a game in.
4. Capoeira
Capoeira is a Brazilian art form which combines martial arts, acrobatics and dance. Its origins can be traced back to the 16th Century, but it only started to surface as a part of modern culture in the 1970’s. A circle is made, called a roda. Music is played, with instruments like the berimbau, a drum called an atabaque and a pandeiro, which is a type of tambourine. Inside the Roda, two players interact. There is no punching and no jerky movements. The idea is to use intuition and foresight to anticipate your opponent’s next move and create a sort of graceful, acrobatic dance to expose one another’s weaknesses through playful “attacks” and counterattacks. It requires strength, rhythm and presence of mind and is a fun, challenging way to keep fit.
5. Nia
Nia is a type of body-mind-spirit exercise created in California 1983 by Debbie and Carlos Rosas. The Nia Technique is based on 52 principles that integrate modalities from dance, including jazz and modern dance; martial arts like Tai Chi and Aikido; and healing practices such as yoga. Done barefoot to inspiring music, Nia is a holistic fitness programme, which is cardiovascular and great for weight loss, toning and flexibility. Most importantly though, Nia teaches you to be more joyful and expressive your everyday life.
As summer approaches, why not ditch the gym card and try something new and exciting, with more benefits than purely the physical?

While we’re talking ‘longest’, here’s another record: Canada has the world’s longest coastline at 202 080 km.
A bear cub named Winnipeg was exported from Canada to the London Zoo in 1915. A little boy named Christopher Robin Milne loved to visit Winnipeg (or Winnie for short) and his love for the bear cub inspired the stories written by his father, A.A. Milne, about Winnie-the-Pooh.

For some people, when they have seen a celebrity, even spotted in the distance, the experience assumes almost celestial importance.
Usually, I think, “How silly.” But if the truth be known, it is a bit of a rush to see a celeb in the flesh. And I think the reason is that they, these glamorous personalities, assail us on a daily basis: wherever we look we see posters of them … pics on the internet, in magazines, on TV, over the radio so that, in the end, their presence becomes ubiquitous. Moreover, their images are magnified on the silver screen so as to make them appear gigantic, simply dwarfing us tiny humans as we sit gaping at them in awe.
Not surprisingly then that it’s kind of refreshing to see them having fish and chips somewhere, spilling vinegar on themselves and engaging in normal human behaviour such as squinting, scratching themselves or whatever.
So if you want to spot a few celebrities (and impress your friends at the dinner table) you should find the places they go to. But I do suggest you don’t walk up to them saying you’d like to hang out with them. Chances are they’ll tell you they’re busy, or they (ladies) will plead a head ache but the chances are they’ll simply tell you to get lost – in less polite language.
The Dorchester
The sofas and chairs or a seat at the bar will give you a nice vantage point. Bring money.
Harrods
An obvious choice, you say. Sure, true, but it is a legendary shop and anybody’s who’s anybody will go there at some stage. Also, you might have to hang around for a year but your patience will be rewarded. Remember: act nonchalant, and don’t scream when you see someone famous. It’s a very discreet place. It’s the kind of place where you might be physically removed if you cough too loudly.
Brompton Oratory
A beautiful building and worth a visit but it’s a great area for shops, restaurants and bars – a regular high-end magnet for stars. Here is a list of some of them:
Racine
French Cuisine – 2 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory
Ciro’s Pizza Pomodoro
Italian Cuisine – 1 minute’s walk from Brompton Oratory
Laya’Lina
Lebanese food – 4 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory

112 Draycott Avenue, SW3 – 6 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory
Laduree at Harrods
Famous French patisserie – 6 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory
Poissonnerie de l’Avenue
Fish restaurant – 7 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory
Zuma
Very stylish Japanese restaurant – 9 minutes’ walk from Brompton Oratory
Ivy
Get a table at this legendary restaurant in Covent Garden and you are very likely to find yourself in the company of show biz stars, and some big names in the music world.
The Ritz Hotel
Have tea at this famous landmark on Piccadilly and you are likely to be rubbing shoulders with the stars or, if not, then at least with some very rich people. Tea is not all that expensive but it is advised to book well in advance.
Funky Buddha Nightclub
This Mayfair club is practically a guarantee you’ll spot the rich, the famous, and the super trendy. Come with a partner. Bring money.
PAPER – Club
A reputation as one of London’s most high-profile celebrity clubs.
Other clubs to try:
Stringfellow’s, Pangaea, Groucho Club
The Most Expensive Gyms in London
Try the gyms in Knightsbridge, South Kensington, or Mayfair. The list of affluent suburbs is long. Make sure you’re in good shape though.
Other places:
Nobu
The Met Bar (after 9 pm they’ll throw you out as it’s reserved for members then)
Primrose Hill
Old Bond Street
To sum up, I’d like to quote two people who wrote somewhere (and apologies to them as I can’t recall where or who they are) in response to someone asking where he could spot celebs in London: “Walk into anywhere where you know you can’t afford it.” The other response was equally funny, I thought: “At the wax museum. Madam Tussaud’s.”
So these two blokes walked into this chicken joint …
An hour later they walked out again. And their life had changed.
The reason was they’d just had one of the best meals in years and, as it turned
out, a brainwave. The flame-grilled chicken was so good, so flavourful with aits
hot peri-peri sauce, they decided to give up their day jobs and buy the place.
The place, in Rosettenville, southern Johannesburg was called “Chickenland” and
the date was 1987 when Robert Brozin and Fernando Duarte made the best move of their
lives. Today, Nando’s operates in 28 countries and on five continents. The obvious
question that springs to mind is: “How did they do it?”
If you look at their really remarkable success story, it appears their success is
based on a trinity which, in the culinary world, one might call ‘the holy trinity’.
First, their food is good, and their recipe is unique. They buy good quality chicken
(not organic) and marinate each piece for 24 hours in their peri-peri sauce.
Actually, not everyone agrees that Nando’s is great. There is an anti-Nando’s petition
on the net that actually slags the place for bad service, bland, dry chicken, and
unfriendliness. There’s probably more but I didn’t read all the whines.
It this a lunatic fringe? I have to say, the various accolades Nando’s has raked
in seem to belie these criticisms….
In 2009 Nando’s celebrated achieving the maximum three stars in the Best Companies
Accreditation award, the only big company in the UK to achieve three stars! This
award measures eight key areas including Personal Growth, Well Being and Leadership.
Last year they repeated this feat.
They have won the (London)Sunday Times Best Place to Work (Big
Companies) category receiving praise for their investment in staff. Their staff
are young and turnover low.
In 2010, Advertising Age magazine named Nando’s as one of the world’s top 30 hottest
marketing brands. The list included brands such as Facebook, Ikea and BMW.
This tells you that with happy staff, it goes a long way towards creating the friendly
atmosphere customers experience at Nando’s.
The third arm of the ‘trinity’ is surely the unique way they have gone about building
the brand. Their advertising is, you could say, as sharp as their peri-peri sauce.
Yet, their advertising in the UK has been surprisingly low-key. How did they manage
to break into this highly competitive market when, after all, they’re up against
the giants in the take-out industry, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King, MacDonald’s,
Pizza Hut?
Miranda Sawyer, writing in The Observer, earlier this year, wrote: “David Beckham
eats there. So does Tinchy Stryder. The peri-peri chicken chain is now the restaurant
of choice for a new breed of confident young multicultural Britons.” According to
her it’s become very hip to eat at Nando’s, and word-of-mouth has become a very
powerful tool in spreading the popularity in Britain. Celebs have been photographed
by the tabloids eating there. Or, even better, emerging from a Nando’s, clutching
the brown paper bag with the distinctive Nando’s logo on the packet, a Portuguese
rooster in vibrant Afro-Portuguese colours. All very good for the brand if the photographs
appears on the front page the next day!
In South Africa and Australia, on the other hand, the brand does a huge amount of
TV advertising, as well as radio. And their ads are hot. In fact, it’s not unusual
to hear someone say, “Have you seen the latest Nando’s ad?”
One of the reasons for their successful campaigns is that Nando’s advertising agency
is quick to produce a topical ad, especially if it involves controversy. These campaigns
often employ a highly satirical style, especially when it involves politicians.
The landscape they depict in South Africa is a sort of post-colonial world where
they parody the issues of the day, corrupt traffic cops taking bribes, a husband
with 20 wives (a take on the president of the country, Jakob Zuma). During the last
election they created another topical ad which drew the ire of the ANC Youth League
when they used a puppet to depict the Youth League leader, Julius Malema, spouting
forth in the most absurd manner. It was funny, although some found it offensive.
They were forced take the TV ad off the air. But 24 hours later they were back with
a suitable riposte.
Their advertising is bold. They take chances. For instance, they do not shy away
from showing real live chickens in their ads – something other more conservative
and timid brands would be careful to avoid. They are also not coy about it, either
and make it clear that these fowl will be eaten.
In Australia, their advertising has even more bite.
Wikipedia writes that Nando’s ran an advertising campaign based around the
2002 political controversy regarding the mandatory detention of illegal immigrants.
The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to physically
sewing their lips closed. Nando’s adverts proclaimed that the strikers “decided
to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando’s quarter chicken
combo, Nando’s are giving away an extra quarter chicken free.
Most recently they have created a ‘cheeky’ TV ad campaign for their new Tropico
Burger with the former football star Warwick Capper as the face of the new promotion.
Capper asks the question, “Whose buns does the sun shine out of the most? Mine or
the Tropico Burger?” Personally I find these ads laboured and the humour forced.
To tell you the truth, it is hardly funny at all.
Their ‘Bruno Fashion’ cinema ad is more successful.
In this commercial all the famous designer names for fragrances are at first rejected.
Then follow the words: “This year’s hottest chicks are covered in peri-peri sauce.
Portuguese designer chicken in peri-peri sauce.
The ‘Bruno theme’ was continued in a setup that occurred at a gala event – none
other than the premiere of Bruno’s movie in Australia. For once the prankster was
‘out Bruno’d when a look-alike gate-crashed the event, arriving in an outrageous
pink stretch limo and flanked by six hot models who proceeded to cover themselves
in peri-peri sauce. In a scene which uncannily mirrored a scene from the movie,
the fake Bruno had to be escorted from the premier by guards.
But it is oddly enough their sexually explicit advertisement about a family whose
mother moonlights as a pole dancer that caused uproar and a deluge of letters of
complaint from – one can only imagine – outraged parents. But these complaints failed
to have the offending ad removed, as the Advertising Standards Bureau concluded
that it did not contain excessive nudity. But the debate rages on in blogs on the
internet.
Another favourite is the South African play on breasts ad. A female customer with
ample breasts is on her mobile when she notices that there are no chips with her
Nando’s burger – at least not from her vantage point, which is looking down her
breasts. She complains to the waitress who obliges by pulling the plate from under
her breasts to reveal the chips.
But it is a South African radio ad that surely tops all other ads and has endeared
the brand to most people because of its cleverness and its understated humour. The
‘Beautiful chicken’ ad was created during FIFA’s World Cup competition in South
Africa early in 2010. The original is a highly emotional ad, exhorting South Africans
to attend the games so that one day they can say to their grand-children: “I was
there …at the Beautiful Game.” In the irreverent Nando’s ad, the ‘beautiful game’
has been transformed into “the beautiful chicken.” It is hilarious. The link will
take you a short discussion on the merits of the radio ad and includes the ad itself.
Not in the mood for champagne? Try a port! Believe it or not, but not everyone’s crazy about Christmas, or the festive season, or whatever you wish to call it.

London has a heritage dating back to the time of the Romans when the first pubs were established. Over time these became fondly known as ‘the local’ (‘pub’ is an abbreviation of public house). With such a rich heritage it is understandable that there are those who don’t want things to change, especially the beer. But is change inevitable? Continue Reading
