| 2008-09-18 04:27:02 |
Today is a rather special day for Rons Crib, it is after all Rons birthday. Now I knew it would be rather awkward for Ron to write on Rons Crib today about his birthday so I have taken it upon myself to write this post and I have asked Ron to put it on the [...]......

| Poor Manchester United |
| 2008-09-16 00:31:42 |
Sporting weekends do not get any better than this past weekend! It was either going to be a great weekend for me or a total disaster but I am glad I can still be smiling and gloating right now. After seeing the All Blacks trounce the Wallabies there was barely time to even go to [...]......

| Andile - I am not a DJ |
| 2008-09-15 13:44:26 |
My love for House Music and these compilation CD’s continues to grow. And yet again, I know I am a bit slow when it comes to getting the latest music but for me, even if it was released years ago and I only discover it now and I think it rocks then it’s worth going [...]......

| Did you ever doubt “The Fed” |

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(234,351,75572,"http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css")}catch(ex){}}()
After Nadal trounced Roger Federer at the French Open and Wimbledon, many had thought that this was the end of the man I like to call “The Fed”. I never for one second thought this was the end of Federer when he lost to Nadal. All great sportspeople and teams go [...]......

| Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell hit the gig! |
| 2008-09-08 01:54:03 |
There are very few athletes we will ever see in our lifetime such as Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell. You have the two quickest men in the world and will probably be the two quickest for a very long time. Going into the Olympic 100m final, I honestly thought Powell was going to win but [...]......

| 2008-09-04 11:07:00 |
I am really sorry for being away from the Crib over the last couple of days. It does not mean I have disappeared, I am still alive and well. I have just been really busy with work at Rand Mediacom over the last couple of days. It has been crazy! If I knew that this [...]......

| The complexity of the heart |
| 2008-08-28 13:51:20 |
Have you ever wondered how complex the heart is? What amazes me about the heart is that it has two states; physical and emotional. Both these states are complex and both can cause a lot of problems if they are not addressed. I will start of with looking at the physical nature of the heart. [...]......

And who said lightning does not strike twice at the same place! Usain Bolt has done it again. I had the honour of seeing this man not only win his second gold medal yesterday but to also break the world record. I knew before the race that it was not a question of, if Bolt [...]......

| 2008-08-19 15:23:15 |
I would like to congratulate Chris Felgate for his great performance at the Olympics today. Chris finished 42nd in the Mens Triathlon event, which was only five odd minutes behind the winner of the race. I had the pleasure of chatting to Chris on Sunday before his race and wishing him the best of luck. [...]......

| Usain Bolt is the greatest! |
| 2008-08-17 03:29:15 |
Need I say more? What I witnessed in yesterdays Olympic 100 metre final was amazing! I never thought I would live to see the day that an athlete wins what I think is the show piece event of the Olympics, in such style and with such ease. Usain Bolt just showed every single athlete who [...]......

| Rons Tri-Nations XV thus far |
| 2008-08-11 02:17:39 |
With the Tri-Nations taking a break this weekend, I thought it was a good time to sit down and analyse what has happened thus far in the Tri-Nations. I think this is still one of the most wide open Tri-Nations we have seen in a very long time. I guess the South Africa victory in [...]......

I was deeply saddened to wake up this morning and hear that Bernie Mac (real name: Bernard Jeffery McCullough) has passed away at the age of 50. The actor and comedian passed away in the early hours of Saturday (9 August 2008) from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. We have certainly [...]......

Okay, you must be asking yourself, “What is Ron meaning by all of this?” Today marked a very special day for RonsCrib.net as I got a Google Page rank of 3. Now to most of you this probably means nothing and you have no idea what I am going on about. Basically, Google gives every [...]......

On this day in two months time, we will be celebrating Braai4Heritage. Most of us had gotten to know this public holiday as being National Braai Day but it has now been changed to Braai4Heritage due to the fact that 24 September has always been Heritage Day in South Africa.
I have in my possession, the [...]......

This weekend, a friend of mine asked me to go flat hunting with him. I was more than happy to do so. There are many great appartments in Cape Town and one really needs to do quite a bit of viewing before you find what you are looking for. There are a lot of factors [...]......

| 2008-07-17 07:44:09 |
It has been almost 2 weeks now since I have watched TV. I feel something serious is missing in my life right now. I had gotten so used to a common routine; get home, watch Sky Sports News at 6pm, then Isidingo at 6:30pm, then the local news on SABC or ETV at 7pm. At [...]......

I took a drive out to Ceres yesterday which is about 150km outside of Cape Town. I had heard all the fuss and noise about there being snow so I decided why not go and see what all this is about. To start off with, the traffic there was incredible as it looked like the [...]......

| 2008-07-08 15:56:47 |
I am not too sure if many of you feel like I do about Roger Federer loosing the Wimbledon final to Nadal? I was totally gutted and still am. For me Federer ranks up there amongst the greatest athletes of all time. The way he dominated men’s tennis over the last couple of years was [...]......

This is my third winter in Cape Town and it seems to be getting worse as each year goes on! Having experienced Johannesburg winters and thought that those were some of the worst winters ever, I now have to change my opinion and opt for Cape Town winters being worse than Johannesburg. Yes, Johannesburg winters [...]......

At the beginning of this year, I reviewed the beer Heineken in Rons Bar. I was not too friendly to the beer and only gave it a 3 out of 5. But fast forward 6 months later and as I write this today, I have to make a confession; I take back all the negativity [...]......
