Eish!! Where do I start? I guess I have to say that it has been a long time since I have been in my own crib! I am just looking back at the posts now and it has been a good 5 months since I have actively written on my blog. Now you may be wondering why the silence, well it has been hectic in ‘Rons Crib’ for the last 5 months! So much has been happening in my life that I have hardly had enough time to sit down and write on my own blog. But that has all changed now, Rons Crib is now back!!

So much has happened in the lat 5 months, the biggest news is probably my departure from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Why did I move you may ask? Lots of people have asked me that and I guess I will have to give you an entire post by itself about that move. That is my plan over the next couple of weeks: to write some posts about what I gave been up to.

Come to think of it, a lot has happened whilst I was away, Obama became president: I got something to say about that. The World economy is in a mess: I have my own personal thoughts about that. There have been major developments in Zimbabwe and I have been there twice so will be telling you about all that. And the drinking front: Heineken is now going to be brewed in South Africa so looking forward to that!! Eish… I have lots to talk about but as promised I will be doing it bit by bit.

So welcome back guys to Rons Crib. I missed you!!

Happy New Year everyone! I am hoping you all had a great holiday and are ready to attack 2009 and make it a great year. For many I know you want to forget about 2008 as it was not that great a year. I for one do not have many highlights from 2008 so thus it is important to make 2009 a success. For most of us it is back to work today, for some; you have been back at work for a while already but business really starts again today so let the money be made starting today!

I would just like to wish you a great 2009 again and even with all the pressure and hard work going to be put in this year, Rons Crib will still be available and I will be aiming to keep you posted as often as possible.

I came into Johannesburg on Friday and spent the better part of the evening at the News Cafe in Woodmead. This is a fairly new News Cafe and I had never been there before out of all the other News Cafe’s in Johannesburg. I must say I was very impressed with what I saw. Having gotten used to the News Cafe’s in Cape Town, one can easily see the vast difference between the News Cafe’s in the two cities. News Cafe’s in Cape Town are ‘dead’ compared to the ones in Johannesburg. But I must confess, for the last coupe of weeks I had been going to the News Cafe in Tableview, Cape Town and it was starting to pick up. As News Cafe say, “It’s all about the vibe”. The vibe in Table View was getting good, a good crowd was coming in and some great music being played on Friday night. But just as I was getting happy with Tableview, I get introduced to News Cafe Woodmead.

…without a dope beat to step to…(Taken from the Alliyah song I love so much) Anyway, it has been a while since I have been in my own crib. I apologise for the silence. Looking at it now, it has been almost 2 weeks since I posted something here. Please forgive me, the last two weeks have been really hectic for me. The world around us seems to be crumbling with all this financial chaos happening in the US and European markets. Now I am not a financial guru and can not explain to you exactly what is causing all this chaos or even how it started. I do not even know the exact details of the $700bn bailout plan that is causing a lot of tension in the US but all I can tell you is that all this chaos is making us see fire! + READ MORE

Being a Ferrari fan, I must say I was highly disappointed with the events that took place for my team in this weekends Singapore Grand Prix. I was chuffed that Massa qualified at the start of the grid and Kimmi was third. The stage was set for a Ferrari One-Two in this first ever Formula 1 night race. Massa got off to a blinder of a start and Kimmi almost took Hamilton at the start but Hamilton decided to play it safe and not let Kimmi through. But the race went on and both Massa and Kimmi were looking good with Kimmi slowly starting to catch up to Hamilton as Massa pulled further and further away. Then the moment of madness happened which I have lots of thoughts about! + READ MORE

You got to love football! For me, any weekend when either Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal loose and Liverpool win is always a great weekend! Going into the weekend, I honestly feared that Liverpool could loose to Everton whilst all the other top 3 teams win as they had relatively easy games to play. But who would have thought that Arsenal would loose at home to Hull City? I have seen upsets in my time but yesterdays upset has to rank right up there!

After basking in the glory of the Liverpool win yesterday it was only polite to have a look at the Arsenal - Hull game as many, including myself, thought we were going to see a cricket score in this game! With the way Arsenal had been playing with their free flowing, running football it only made sense that they were going to bag in a couple against a newly promoted team. And with the game being at The Emirates stadium, it only made sense that we were going to see lots of goals. My prediction was Arsenal to win 5 - 0, with some Arsenal supporters I was watching the game with predicting as many as seven! + READ MORE
