You Know This Boogie Is For Real

Santam Does a Nando's on Nando's

· ·

Nando's in South Africa has a reputation for coming up with some of the best adverts you'll ever see on TV. Many are spoofs, insults or just quick jabs at current affairs, so it's not surprising that they're at it again. What is surprising is when someone comes back and one-ups a Nando's advert.

First, Santam (insurance company) released this advert...

A very good advert and, yes, I did replay it to make sure. Off the back of this, Nandos came out with...

Not bad. Still makes your smile, but who'd have guessed Santam would be so quick off the block and release this...

Now I'll be very impressed if Nando's fulfils this "demand" and actually creates an advert from it. Time will tell.

Update: 25 Apr 2012 - According to IOL, Nando's will be delivering today, ahead of schedule. Other sources suggest Nando's are going one better and not just delivering once, but repeatedly over the next 12 months. Still need to find a reliable source for this last bit, but nice one Nando's. You'll keep getting my money.

Update: 26 Apr 2012 - And here we have it, the final word. Nando's will be delivering a free meal to the Jo'burg kid's home every month for the next 12 months. That's brilliant Nando's.

Update: 27 Apr 2012 - And as expected, Nando's have done an advert about it too...

I think this is pretty cool, but I…

Our friend Becki is part of the Coca-cola organising team and she was allowed to bring one of the torches home for friends and family photos.

Claire and I certainly weren't going to miss out on this so…

We Now Have Über Fast Broadband

· ·

Well, I finally had enough of Tiscali's poor customer and network service and decided to upgrade my broadband to BT's Infinity fibre optic broadband. I've only had it all up and running for just over an hour and I'm already loving it.

I received a call from the BT engineer (Faisal Masood) at about 13:40 to let me know he was…

Music Video Recorded by a Dog

· ·

Your buddy asks you to look after his dog for a weekend. No probs, but why not take full advantage of it? That's exactly what Capetonian, Dave Meinert, did when he looked after a mate's dog and he took full advantage of his temporary furry friend: he created this really good music video for Johnny Neon...

Great video filmed from a…
