The diaries are sold!

Ardent fans will have noticed that things have been quiet here recently. We can put all minds at rest, the office did not sink under the cape winter storm surge. We do sometimes run a mobile office, so yes it can be located upstairs at the Bell, or downstairs at Polana (more on that later).


Anyways, we have been in Switzerland doing some press doomsday avoiudance work for Fritz Sonnentsberg, head of CERN. As you might be aware, they are finally pushing the big green button on the LHC. Someone needs to control the hippies and bible bashers.


The big news out of the trip is that we had a meeting with Sheik Al Bhandi, owner of ZAIN telecoms. The Deep South Diaries have been sold to his company as they prepare to roll out their attack on MTN. The figure can not be confirmed as its still being rubber stamped in sand land, but I can vouch that its more than Kirsty Coventry gets from Bob.


They have big plans for the site, and hope to use it as a vehicle for their False Bay camel racing series. Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately due to restraint of trade we can only report on rock music, hippies and parties. Never fear, keep an eye out here and you'll see what's coming next from the team.
 
ps. thirsty capetonians are in for some confusing drinking down south this summer. is it the polana in kalk bay, or the paulaner in kalk bay?phonetically iDENTical, but world's apart. the new Brauhaus is due a visit soon.
