The Boyfriend Card

By Mackaveli On November 4, 2011 · 5 Comments · In Social Observations

Boyfriends are great. Many women have one. Many men have one. Many men and women have many. They all serve a purpose, and the range of that purpose can be extremely wide. Some, like Costanza, get into all manner of problems on becoming The Boyfriend. While others… well, here’s another Costanza clip because that’s all [...]

Funny how things can change in the space of a week. Funny or torturous, depending on where you’re from. If it’s New Zealand, there’s every chance it’s the latter. When you open your eyes on Monday the 3rd of October, 2011, you may reflect on a cataclysmic situation that only a week beforehand couldn’t really [...]

I recently had to undertake a social experiment which required the most delicate of touches; a finesse that had hitherto been missing from much of my work on the road of late.

My flatmate is a walking contradiction. He hates Jamie Oliver, but swears by his recipes; he’s French so he thinks he’s a higher form of human, but he’s also a self-proclaimed chav; he dismisses The Drug Companies and their pain-and-suffering-prevention pills, then turns around and contracts malaria because he didn’t take his pills while he [...]

Djokovic and Murray

By Mackaveli On February 1, 2011 · 7 Comments · In Sports

Djokovic and Murray. Two pretty uninspiring characters facing off in the final of the Aussie Open. Forgive me if I’m not falling over myself in excitement. A couple of tennis clones who park on the baseline and hope the other guy misses. Both with two-handed backhands. Neither with much in the way of zeal or [...]
