In South Africa, the refrain "You must pay back the money!" has been a common one over the last few years. It refers to our state president, Jacob Zuma, and a criminal amount of tax-payers money that was used to update his private residence including a million rand amount that was used for the swimming pool which they then claimed was a "Firepool" in case the house caught fire. This is now a national in-joke [...]

So i've been sick and away and so this one is a little bit late, but herein lies the flop for the Honest Twitterer Bio... It was an absolute pleasure having Mistress Indistarr with us as co-host and she did an amazing job: @indistarr The focus of this week was to come up with a more accurate and honest Bio for your [or someone else's] Twitterer page. For example i wrote one for [...]

Ever have a bad autocorrect moment? You meant to type, "Hey that felt a little mean" and autocorrect changes it to "You stupid cow, you ruined my life." Happens to all of us. Hopefully we catch most of them before we hit send, but with the busyness and rush of life a lot of them escape our attention before it's too late. But the Internet remembers... and so we decided to have some fun with that [...]
Another Wednesday, another Hashtag game... well hopefully not just another hashtag game - we continue to do everything we can to make @AFrikkinHashtag stand out as a game that has that little bit of its own flavour and it's all of you that make that possible. This week my co-host, the incredible Kathleen Adams aka @KattFunny [and i'm not just saying that - take five minutes and go and read her incredible story of recovery [...]
Last week we had a Hashtag game crew of note. i invited a number of past co-hosts and regulars to join me in the mix and be part of the informal promoting of the game and they really rocked up in fine fashion and helped catapult the game into the stratosphere.

Having played without a co-host i decided i needed to right that wrong and this week's host Danielle actually sent me a request asking if she could join me and as a first [...]
In the year 2000 the Baha Men released one of the catchiest songs ever. With the chorus posing that existential question: Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? And we never received the answer. 16 years later and i was still feeling a little short-changed by that whole thing, so i decided to turn to the Twittererverse for some answers. And you brought it! Joining forces with my old Twitterer 'Nemesis' and friend [...]
