It's Jakes Actually

The following clip is somewhat on the funny side but comes with an “adults only” tag as naughty words are used towards the end. So please note that sensitive viewers might be offended.

If you do get offended, get a life!

Whether it is Pamela Anderson’s ample bosom or Tom Cruise’s million dollar smile, we mere mortals aspire to the perfection that is being portrayed in the media. Some of us use the whitening toothpaste. The purchasing of which is quite a trying event as you do not want the person serving you to get the wrong idea about your personal hygiene. Some of us have far too much time on our hands and run or go to the gym to attain that svelte physique.

It is a general perception that cosmetic surgery, whether it is necessary or not, is only something for the rich and/or famous. Which brings me to my point, surely if you are earning truck loads of cash and are deemed a media figure you pay careful attention to little things like, oh a missing front tooth. Why oh why has football tycoon, Irvin Khoza, in all his wealth not gone to a dentist and had that missing incisor seen to? By no means am I campaigning for people to go out and have random surgeries so as to fit the image the media has created for us as a benchmark, but rather a little self pride. So Mr Khoza, extract a few bob out your bank account and have that gaping hole seen to, it is the World Cup year after all.

Most 18 to 25 year-olds will agree that their diet is hugely affected by which watering hole they just so happened to be sinking a few cold ones at. Whether it’s the five minute walk to the nearest petrol station for a ‘sausage roll’ or the surprisingly palatable ‘boerie roll’ sold on the side of the street. For me it was the 10 metre stagger to Steers where I would invariably order the same thing: ‘Club Sandwich and chips’ for a then whopping R19.99.

The combination of bacon, cheese, chicken mayo and freshly toasted white bread was just magical. Despite the fact that one’s taste buds were rather diluted by the evenings excesses, the club sandwich still managed to hit the spot. Whether it was the combination of flavours, or the differing textures or the mere fact that there were two, that’s right, two meats on this culinary master piece made the extra wait all that more bearable.

So imagine my surprise when ordering my beloved ‘club sandwich and chips ‘only to be told it was no longer on the menu. WTF? Surely not? The Club Sandwich, are they sure? This piece of sandwich genius was surely far too valuable an asset for them to discard off the menu? I was bitterly disappointed and even decided to boycott Steers in protest.

So my question to you is, Should Steers bring back the ‘Club Sandwich and Chips’? Vote on this week’s poll.
