Mangelina Jolie
[ Posted 8 July 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Before I write anything else, I’d just like to say that I don’t think Angelina Jolie looks like a man – but, I did like the title, and I thought it would be a good title for an article about not finding Angelina Jolie particularly attractive. I feel I have to start with this disclaimer, because well, you never know who’s reading these blogs and when you might actually end up meeting the celebrity via Skype on a UK chat show...
Dear The Netherlands
[ Posted 5 July 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Dear The Netherlands
Hello. My name is Simon. You probably won’t know who I am, but I know who you are because... well, you’re a country. This letter is not actually to all of you, it’s just to your soccer team, but I’ve addressed the whole country because I figure there’s more chance of one of you knowing the coach and passing on my message. I tried e-mailing soccerteam@thenetherlands.com, but for some reason that didn’t seem to work, so I’ve decided to use this blog instead.
Juice
[ Posted 2 July 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Okay, so they may make you pay for the in-flight peanuts, but to make it up to you they provide you with a great free magazine. And this month’s magazine is even greater than usual, because it has got us in...
Eclipse
[ Posted 1 July 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Why are there no vampires older than 24? What do werewolves have against wearing t-shirts? And who knew that Dakota Fanning was still around?
The two reasons why Bafana Bafana lost against Uruguay
[ Posted 17 June 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Now I know that people don’t usually come to the blog of an acoustic comedy band for FIFA 2010 World Cup match analysis, but I feel that despite my general lack of knowledge when it comes to all things sport, the reasons why Bafana Bafana lost against Uruguay are rather obvious, and I feel it is my duty to point them out.
The journey to the 2010 FIFA World Cup
[ Posted 11 June 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]The more observant of you will realise that the FIFA World Cup starts today. If you fall into the category of South Africans that are unaware of this event, you’re probably also still wondering what exactly happened at Ellis Park in 1995, and why our flag seems to have gotten a lot more colourful since 1994.
Dyl Streep's Rant & Rave: The Office
[ Posted 3 June 2010 in Life by Dylan Streep ]Just a quick one... People who know me will often say that my sense of humour is very similar to and even copies that of comedy genius Ricky Gervais, and to those people I say; Well... am I copying or is it.. and that's.. so...
Dreams
[ Posted 27 May 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Dreaming is a seemingly pointless part of everyday life. We go to sleep to rest our bodies, but our brain decides that whilst we rest, we might as well kick back and watch whatever movie our imagination has concocted based on that day or week’s events.
Nigroids
[ Posted 20 April 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]The other day my larynx thought it would be fun to become friends with some bacteria, thus disabling it from performing its usual job of allowing me to emit desirable sounds from out of my mouth. It was gracious enough not to dissolve away completely, but it left me very little to work with, unless of course I was hoping to make a career out of impersonating a pubescent male whose voice was breaking.
Bovril
[ Posted 25 March 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]Bovril must have been a hard sell. If I had been in the meeting when it was suggested, I don’t think it would have won my vote. I imagine the conversation would have gone a little like this...
