Bit naughty of them to make it look so French. Actually comes from Wellington, about an hour NorthEast of Cape Town. Nice spot. The distillers are quite a trip, too. Bought a bottle of their absinthe last time we passed through, but have yet to open it. http://www.jd7.co.za/

The Jesus & Mary Chain -- Stoned & Dethroned

Steenberg Shiraz 2009. New release from the estate we live on here in Cape Town and I think their best yet. I'm a cool-climate convert! Steenberg Shiraz 2009

I bet you no one at Apple who ever even ate lunch with some one who once worked on MobileMess is allowed anywhere near Steve's scary, gas-mask-face, motherfucking datacenter OF THE FUTURE!

No problem. I can do that. PM me an address and I'll send you a few bottles. It's pretty much compulsory here to have a Steelworks (Cola tonic, bitters, ginger beer & soda water) after walking off the golf course.

Bain's Cape Mountain Whisky. It would be hard to review this spirit without the use of at least some phrases like "cheap", "local" and "extremely intoxicating", so I won't try.

Thought some of our legal brethren might enjoy this. "Your mother's c**t!" Advocate tells High Court judge.

Happy Belated Birthday Al and all the very best to your Mom.

iPad 2! Now with the power to beam me a chubby all the way from Yerba Buena to the lower middle of butt fuck nowhere. Technology is amazing.

Golf. Booze. Ennui.

Beer. Chenin. Cab. Cognac. Mondays eh? Pfft.

Played golf at 7:00 am, sank everything in sight. Lunch with the Mrs. at the fishing harbor at Kalk Bay -- ate fresh oysters, calamari, crayfish and sole. Drank some pretty good sauvignon blanc. Walked it off for an hour or so on Long Beach over at Noordhoek. Sea and sky were competing for brightest blue. Hit Steenberg Winery for a champagne tasting and some tapas on the way back home. The afternoon sunshine was practically liquid, dripping down the verdant slopes of the Constantiaberg. (Oh dear, he's getting a little carried away, please tone down in final copy -- Eds. And can't we shop out that fucking construction tape? It's really not helping the ambiance. Plus, what's with the PARENTS BEWARE sign? Once you've had the little shits, it's already too late for you. Ha ha. Just free associating here. Have you noticed the tits on that new girl on the Metro desk?)
