Mahendra all the way with the sixth-seeded Serbian, as strike continues

That is correct. (Oh my god, did Mahendra just say 'clamour change' instead of 'climate change'?)

Anyway, back to Mahendra. It wasn't live. AT and I thought we'd be hip and go to the Hipper opening. Two other hip Mahendra Project members were spotted there.

The gallery was, erm, white, very white, and the Hipper stuff uses lots of grey. It was as bright as a summer's day in there. Not quite Mahendra now, is it?

Thank god then for VCRs - Mahendra was on form and 'immaculate' (quoting AT) in navy blue jacket, light blue shirt, another presidential tie (navy, check the pics) and even some cufflinks. This is now the third consecutive appearance of our man in Auckland Park. Could it be that Joanne and Tsepiso are on strike? Are they civil servants?

Mahendra must be applauded, also, for managing himself well over several sibilant seconds during the sports news:


"...the sixth..."


"...seeded..."










"...Serbian,..."


"...Novak Djokovic..."








Was Mahendra ever proud for negotiating that! Indeed, he is one of the few people who still say 'sicksth' and not 'sickth'.

And then it was Good Night, and Good Luck...
