I’m a sappy romantic at heart, and as much as I detest the commercialisation of something as natural as romance, this Infographic from The History Channel makes some interesting observations about Valentine’s Day in the States: 62% of adults...
I recently rediscovered this poem via Poke.co.uk, and whilst they refer to it there as “English Pronunciation by G. Nolst Trenité” the piece is actually called The Chaos. As in “the chaos that is correct English pronunciation” I assume. Gerard...
The great gang over at our favourite T-Shirt design studio Springleap.com are holding a design competition in conjunction with Marmite – that favourite of South African spreads. Did you know that it’s been around since 1902?! Here’s the...
BlaBla has been on safari in the Sabi Sands Reserve near Skukuza in Mpumalanga – hence the quietness around here recently. Thought I’d send our loyal BlaBla Readers a couple of e-cards to let you know that we’re missing you too! (Internet...
Haven’t done one of these for a while, so here’s a Friday Photo post with a little difference. The brilliantly creative team over at Love Jozi have teamed up with Gauteng Tourism to create A Postcard a Day from Gauteng. Primarily developed...

Maintaining my very fab bitchy self is not easy. I need help. Loads of it. Don’t despair. I will not totally kill you with a long boring list. I am aiming to only almost kill you with a list that includes my-absolute-must-bitchy-haves. I have...
