It’s the bar mitzvah year – Oliver at 13

Puerile writes and Davies responds.

The reader might be unaware that this blog's curator took the Duncan McLeod article to the Daily Maverick with his (not Duncan's) typical anti- bolshie twist. It was a more sanitised version of my normal blog posts, no bolshie bob... Continue reading

Bolshie bob gets a high court bollocking - this must open the doors for more litigation

There are two types of people in this world, Harry van der Merwe and everybody else. I happen to like Harry - can't be sure about most other people, specifically if they are anc appointees. Harry sent this to me... Continue reading

At last a corporation with balls – actually BAT and balls
