Last week was the second official week of the South African presence on the International Trending Hashtagging game app under the hashtag @AFrikkinHashtag [Say it out loud]. Despite it happening right in the middle of all the #FeesMustFall action, we still somehow managed to briefly trend in South Africa for the first time while also trending solidly at number 4 in the States.

So it’s official. South Africa has joined the International Community of Hashtagging games with the first official tag game which took place yesterday which was #ArtAMovieOrTv. Every Wednesday at 12 lunchtime our time on @HashtagRoundup – Come and Play. And it was a LOT of fun. Thank you to everyone who pitched up and got stuck in. […]
It's official. Today at 12 lunchtime South African time, @afrikkinhashtag launches the first official on the @HashtagRoundup app South African game with a bid to get South Africans in on this game phenomenon that has been sweeping the world. As i explain in more detail in my post 'Is it at a bird? Is it at a plane? NO! It’s @AFrikkinHashtag' the basic premise involves someone presenting a tag for the game, eg #DifferentEndingsToHorrorMovies was one [...]
So there’s this little thing called Hashtag games [which i wrote this article about for 1Africa.tv] which i got into while i was in Americaland. Someone comes up with a clever Hashtag, something like #WaterACelebrity and then anyone in the world who is on the Twitterer plugs into their creative minds and tries to come up with clever or witty responses. So examples might be: Sea-gourney Weaver, Drip Torn or Harrison Fjord. […]
“I wish I had the balls to do that, I thought, as I enviously watched the juggler.” [Brett Andy] SAYINGS My favourite saying guy in the world is a guy called Jack Handey… if you don’t know who he is, then you probably have not hung out with me long enough. […]
So, as you may know if you are someone who follows this blog, this last week has been a little rugby-enduced fighty on the Facebook. i had two people in particular who pointed out to me the problem [me] which seemed to somehow be linked to my having too much opinion on too many things on Facebook: I'm troubled by the fact that you have an opinion about everyone and everything Brett, you do seem [...]
They say you can't really be friends with someone you've only met on the internetweb. i say pot-ah-to. Trevor Ruddock Black [or Trev, to keep things, you know, moving along] is one of a number of those people. He has guest posted on my blog and allowed me to do the same on his. The thing i like most about Trevor's blog aka Swart Donkey, is that he seeks out stories and posts of good [...]
No, that's not a mistake. This is a follow up post to the 'All's Well That Starts Well' post from Friday, where i spoke about a secret comedy show preview that was happening sometime [Friday night] and gave a bit of a taste of what it was about. So basically this beard: And this completely lack of a sense of hairstyle [at the moment - i'm in limbo]: Gathered together with three other guys names Graeme, [...]
i won't lie - i'm pretty excited... Sometime soon in the quite foreseeable future, this beard and i [and 3 other blokes actually who i didn't have mutual pics with yet] are embarking on a new Comedy journey. It is a show called 'All's Well That Ends Well' and if you didn't get an invite to our secret preview Is-This-Really-As-Funny-As-We-Hope-And-Think-It-Is happening later sometime at some venue, then all i can say to you is: LOOK, [...]
Heidi Segal selects the poem 'Father William' by Lewis Carroll and invites Erik [with a K] to give it his best: https://youtu.be/jPVGAADuO8s Did that deeply move you in places you didn't even know you had places?
