Friday’s “Shmoke and a pancake” with Joey Miller
Eventual venue: Dean Street Nino’s
Yes folks, I have once again introduced a refreshingly new addition to my Friday entertainment. This week’s sensation is the Evergreen Nadoes stalwart, Michael Charton, a man making some serious splashes as he takes the mothercity by storm this winter!!
This weeks personality: Michael “Chukka” Charton CA (SA)
Charton: “In Duuuuuub-lin’s fair city, where the girls are-so…pret-ty....” (A singing Charton unashamedly entertains a small gathering of female shoppers as they stroll out of Woolworths – bags in hand)
Joey: “Ah… this is an amazing scene kid…. you do this sorta thing often? (Joey looking genuinly curious as he watches Charton finish off his live performance)
Charton: “Crying cockles and mussels…. alive a-live O” (song ends)
Charton: “Jeepers Joey, howzit going!! (Charton puts down his vintage guitar) ... sorry I got here an hour early, could’nt hold myself back, just collected me’ old 6 string guitar from a fix-up down the road – she sure is playing like a dream!” (Joey signals something to a passing waiter)
Joey: “Amaaazing!” (Joey speechless for once and clearly quite taken a back by Charton’s musical flair, hangs his jacket over his chair)
Charton: “Hey Joey, I’ve ordered us the pancake’s… I thought maybe today we light up a cigar.. you smoking these days Joey?”
Joey: “Well..ha-ha..”(Joey not sure whether Charton is taking the Micky)
Charton: “Joey it’s really great to finally crack a nod onto your show, I must say that last interview with Gareth “yungie” Wright was something special… a real peach! .... to what do I owe this fabulous honour?”
Joey: “Well…..... let’s call a spade a spade kid, you been back from the states a while now … people are talking.. you’ve made a few splashes in a few big pools… the various Nadoe events you’ve taken part in, the mighty 30th bash you threw… hell you a bloody celebrity kid!”
Charton: (Balancing a piece of syryp-drenched pancake on the edge of his fork)
Charton: “Well you know… It’s a breath of fresh air being back.. although to be honest I did spend a couple of memorable years on the streets of Philly.” (visions of a brisky Tom Hanks flash through Joey’s mind)
Joey: “Oh yeah… and now, you doing anything useful when you not singing Irish folk songs?” (Joey unaware that Charton is a pedigreed Chartered Accountant)
Charts: “Haha Joey.. yes I do have a day job if you’ll believe … I’m a bean counter Joey”
Joey: “You what?!” (Joey blatantly reveals how his quiet life as a column writer distances himself from the real world)
Charton: “An accountant Joey…Yes I work with numbers.. I’m Financial Manager at an Ad Agency in the Southern Suburbs … DRAFTFCB’s the name…. and boy oh boy let me just tell you that its a pretty vibrant environment Joey!”
Joey: “Oh really now… but I bet with all this on the go you not still sleeping with your Nadoes jersey under your pillow are you?”
Charton: “Haha Joey, you working me up now.. well actually… if I could stick my neck I would have to say occasionally I do. I love that stuff, Wednesday nights, running rugger, ice cold beers in the change room…(Charton staring blankly into thin air) .. but getting back to careers Joey … you know I pine for the day that I can hang up me’ old bean counting boots and ignite my passion for South African history. Joey I-wanna-be-a-History-lecturer-at-UCT-goddamit!”
Joey: “Hells bells you gotta be sh*tting me kid!” (Joey not expecting this sort of frankness from Charton)
Charton: “You bet Joey.. you have no idea how amazing the history of this land is.. it breaks my heart to see young kids burning history text books… You know Joey if I had my way I would like to start up a bleemin’ History Foundation.. because, one thing about History Joey is that you can never change the past”
Joey: (clearly not interested in his half eaten pancake, takes a deep drag of the cigar as he nods respectfully at Charton)
Joey: “Hmm…. well just to veer of the topic slightly.. now you a Rondebosch lad through and through I belive… so tell me.. lets say I get your kid a full scholarship to Bishops.. grade 0 – Matric, would you entertain that sort of idea.. being Bosch lad and all”
Charton: “Look Joey, I’m pretty relaxed about these kinds of things and every kid is different. If I thought she fitted the mould, then why not, give her the free ticket to that smelly place down the road!”
Joey: “BWAAAAAH HA-HA….BWAAAAAH HA-HA-HA” (Joey clearly amused by Charton’s dry humour begins slaping him repeatedly on the leg)
Charton: (Head tilted back… eye-lids slightly scrunched, chuckles louder than usual)
Joey: “aaaaaha-ha-ha” (Joey still laughing finally manages to pull himself together)
Joey: Time’s running out kid.. 3 quick questions for the many folk reading this interview in their offices and homes.. firstly, will we get 2010… you sure come across as the eternal optimist but seriously now.. secondly hows the love life?.. you’ve been rumoured to be seeing a certain las called Misa Larais.. can you confirm this please… and thirdly.. you played any decent golf rounds recently?”
Charton: Phew.. (Charton pauses whilst he takes his last bite of Pancake) ... well Joey you are putting me on the spot here.. (all the while licking running syryp off his index finger) ...but I’m gonna shoot from the hip and tell it like it is… YES 2010 is gonna happen Joey… the stadiums are set to be completed by July 2009 and that’s almost a year ahead of shedule.. we actually have two more stadiums than whats required by FIFA’s governing body… so hell Joey it’s gotta happen. And being a history student let me just tell you that Argentina hosted a World Cup back in 1978 amidst a bleemin’ civil war! ..(Charton bangs his fist on the table.. Nino’s is silenced momentarily) secondly Joey .. ah yes I’m keeping my love cards close to my chest.. a gentelman never does kiss and tell (a trademark wry grins sweeps across Charton’s face) ... and to answer your third question Joey… yes I’m dying for some golf, I went low a few times whilst living in Joburg a few years back but since then battling a bit off the box.. it’ll come back though… it’ll come back.
Joey: It sure will kid, it sure will! (Joey stops Charton in mid-sntence.. gets up and throws a R200 note on the table) I gotta run son… all I can say is, you’ve much to offer this country.. and if I can offer any advice.. I say hell yeah…live your dreams kid! (Joey shakes Charton’s hand as he leaps into his red MG and speeds off into the distance….. leaving the lonely figure of Charton sucking away at the last remains of his soggy cigar.. hmmm maybe time for one last song he thinks … aaah yes, ther’s always time for one last song… )

Boss calls in Sick
Some golf humour..
David Feherty on Tiger Woods
“People have accused me of being so far up Tiger’s a.. that he can
barely make a full swing, but I maintain that he is a special person.
There’s no one else on the planet who can do what he does or even think
of doing what he does. I’ve often thought, instead of showing Tiger’s
reaction to a shot he’s hit, we really should show the reaction of those
around him.”
But here is the next best thing. “I’m walking down the 18th fairway at
Firestone Country Club with Ernie Els and Tiger, who has popped up a
three-wood about 40 yards behind Ernie into some wet, nasty, horrible,
six-inch rough,” Feherty says.
“Tiger’s cursing and taking clumps out of Ohio with his three-wood. And,
of course, we’re not showing this on TV because we want to be able to
interview him later. Ernie and I walk past Tiger’s ball, and it is truly
buried.
“Ernie is tied with Tiger and he’s in the middle of the fairway. I’m
standing with Ernie and my microphone is open. Ken Venturi [in the CBS
booth] sends it to me and I say, ‘Tiger’s got 184 yards with two big red
oaks overhanging the green. He’s got absolutely nothing. With a stick of
dynamite and a sand wedge I might be able to move this ball 50 yards.
Steve Williams [Woods’ caddie] tells me [with a hand signal] that he’s
using a pitching wedge.’
“Tiger takes his swing. Every muscle in his body is flung at the ball.
It looks like he’s torn his nutsack. The divot went as far as I could
hit the ball. I’ve got my microphone at my mouth thinking, what the hell
was that!
The ball sails over the trees, lands behind the hole and backs up to a
bout six feet from the flag. I open my microphone and Ernie turns and
says, ‘F*** me!’
“My producer comes on in my earpiece and says, ‘Was that Ernie?’ I say
yes.
He says, ‘Fair enough.’
“I could have described that shot for 15 minutes and not done as good a
job as Ernie did with two words. This is one of the best players in the
world talking, and you wanna know how good Tiger is? Ask Ernie Els.”
Joey’s plea – say “Hello”
Say “Hello”
The alarming levels of violent crime in South Africa can be reduced, if we just ‘say hello,’ says Justin Foxton, co-ordinator of the Stop Crime Say Hello (SCSH) campaign.
www.scsh.co.za The crime fighting campaign is based on the principle that societies that regularly promote, uphold and engender social respect and dignity live relatively free of crime.
The newly launched SCSH website encourages South Africans to look one another in the eyes, smile and say hello and thus show respect and restore dignity. “These values are the cornerstones of a peaceful and safe society,” says the website.
The campaign is based on criminologist James Wilson’s Broken Windows theory which states that crime is the result of disorder and disrespect. If a broken window is left, crime is more likely to be perpetrated in that area. This is because criminals believe they reduce their chances of being caught where disorder already exists.
“The vast majority of South Africans are salt of the earth, law abiding, motivated people. If we start by dignifying and respecting each other, we will build bridges,” says Foxton.
While the SCSH campaign has gained support from other crime fighting initiatives such as Business Against Crime, the campaign has also been met with some scepticism. Foxton says he and his team understand this. “We don’t expect everyone to buy into the idea that you can combat violence by being nice, but I think if you want to stay in South Africa, you must do something and [Stop crime Say hello] isn’t difficult.”
In a bid to spread their message, Stop Crime Say Hello is giving away free bumper stickers. To get your bumper sticker and to find out more about the campaign visit: www.scsh.co.za

“Heart of Camps Bay” revealed
Seeing is believing
I was doing my usual Saturday late evening stroll on Camps Bay beach this weekend when something amazing caught my eye. Just above the water works the slightly below the Cable Car lies a sneaky little indentation..
As a prelude to this years Nadoes Ryder Cup I’m giving you the chance to win some big prizes if you can creatively name your top 9 golf holes in Cape Town. Throw in a brief reason why you have chosen these 9 and our panel will post the best findings.
Winner announced on April 1st!
Caveau sidekick-countdown hotting up..
The Mother City holds it’s breath at the announcement of Wilder’s (Previously known as Wildman) 2008 sidekick ... Yes Dickels a previous sidekick contender as well as Gammers are hot favourates to take up the crown but at this late stage of proceedings it’s anyone’s guess..
12th man commentary (Brilliant!!)
Thought I’d throw in an insert from the latest 12th man which is called “Boned” .. tongue twister kiwi rugger players at their best!
Saints duo untouchable!
It was a ding-dong battle that lasted nearly 2 hours but in the end the shot making ability at crucial moments of Batchelor and Wilder (previously known as Wildman) prooved to be the difference – Saints powering home in two straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. The game wasn’t without drama though, Jeggels and Kilpin raced to convincing leads in both sets… 3 – 1 and 4 – 1 respectively but failed to capitalise leaving many questions unanswered over their B.M.T status. Saints are crying out for stronger competition, rumours are still doing the rounds that Rondebosch have what it takes to dethrone these two tennis-ing demi-gods. Only time will tell though… the contest continues next week at Stadium Greenpoint.. Watch press for details.
Search for the ultimate cuppa has begun!

Good Fella’s curb drunken driving
I ran an article on these good guys a few months back and have recieved a few mails from the community encouraging me to give them a bit more information.
Well here goes:
All you need to know is neatly posted on there Website: www.gfellas.co.za Thinking.. “it will never happen to me” is very dangerous people. 3 beers is considered “over the limit”, think about that, how often have you had more than 3 beers and been on the road.
If you socialise (sober or not), you face the most risk
58% of weekly fatal crashes occurred on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, of which *23,9% were on Saturdays.
40% of the daily fatalities occurred between 18:00 and midnight. (Average during 2004 – RTMC)
25,81% of the daily fatalities occurred between 18:00 and 21:00.
Heard a disturbing story about a friend that was locked away after an innocent night out. He was unsettled by the manner in which the Coppers took joy in putting handcuffs on the “bad-fella”. It was a victory for the boys in blue.
Bottom line.
If you are breathalizer tested and are over the limit, you will get a locked away for the night, YOU WILL get a court hearing, YOU WILL have a hefty fine to cough up and there is a VERY GOOD change YOU WILL get a criminal record.
Be smarter than the rest, do it the Miller way .. not the hard way.

Aussie joke – such L-A-U-G-H-T-E-R
Life in the Australian Army…
A letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For
Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a smalltown, west of
Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland.
Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil
that the Army is better than workin’ on the farm – tell them to get
in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit
slow in settling down at first, because ya don’t hafta get outta
bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do
before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya
uniform. No bloody cows to milk, no calves to feed, no feed to
stack – nothin’!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad,
coz there’s lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there’s no kangaroo
steaks or possum stew like wot Mum makes. You don’t get fed again
until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because
we’ve been on a ‘route march’ – geez its only just like walking to
the windmill in the back paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep
getting medals for shootin’ – dunno why. The bullseye is as big as
a bloody possum’s bum and it don’t move and it’s not firing back at
ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their
prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make
yourself comfortable and hit the target – it’s a piece of piss!!
You don’t even load your own cartridges, they comes in little
boxes, and ya don’t have to steady yourself against the rollbar of
the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real
careful coz they break easy – it’s not like fighting with Doug and
Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do
at home after the muster.
Turns out I’m not a bad boxer either and it looks like I’m the best
the platoon’s got, and I’ve only been beaten by this one bloke from
the Engineers – he’s 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles
across the shoulders and as ya know I’m only 5 foot 7 and eight
stone wringin’ wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried
me off to the boozer.
I can’t complain about the Army – tell the boys to get in quick
before word gets around how bloody good it is.
Your loving daughter,
Sheila
Caveau turns on the coffee taps
The flat white served up @ popular Wine Bar and Deli – Caveau is currently rated as the very best in town and you would be plain silly not to pop in for a couple to prove me wrong.
Rondebosch Mayor, The evergreen Neil Quayle was recorded recently in Caveau on Heritage Square slurping down 2 of these fine brews together with hearty eggs benidict breakfast. When asked what he thought of the texture and aroma of the Caveau flat white he simply replied…”Joey they even stick a lovely shape on the froth gaddamitt!” Yes so if you flat white dont have a wacky shape on the froth, send it back. Speak to head waiter “Gammie” or greek co-owner Wilder (previously known as The Wildman) – they’ll bring you a fresh one.
Only in Africa… or only in South Africa?!
This is hard to watch. Surely, but surely it was bound to happen. Take a watch.. The Fletcher families Bloemfontein tree removal business at it’s VERY best!!
Joey teachings – How to be happy?
We all want to be happy, but what does it take to reach that feeling of complete bliss?
There are fully 15 separate academic definitions of ‘happiness’ in English, and yet there are no precise equivalents of the word in some other languages. Like love, happiness means different things to different people. In Western countries, for instance, happiness is seen as an achievement, and in more collectivist nations such as Japan, China and South Korea, it’s seen as a blessing, not as something reflecting ability.
So if happiness is a personal achievement, as it is for many of us, we naturally feel that if we’re not happy, we’re doing something wrong. And if that’s the case, can we fix it? There’s no sure-fire recipe for achieving happiness, but there are some steps we can take to set us on the road to bliss. Here are a few:
- Admire your own looks
- Form firm friendships
- Say “I do”
- Believe in a higher power
- Grow old gracefully
- Downscale
The bottom line? The more you have, the more you want, so want less!
The voice of Bart Simpson revealed
I can’t comment on whether you enjoy The Simpsons quite as much as I do, but what I can say is that the voice of Bart Simpson, is infact a lady. I managed to dig deep into the archives and found a piece of live footage that features our boy… (or lady) Bart doing one of his prank phone call stunts with Mo’s Tavern owner, “Mo”. You gonna wanna check this out….
Saints partnership outclass Bishops duo
It’s very seldom that the same school cracks two mentions in a row on the Joey Miller Column but records, as they say are made to be broken and here we have yet another cover story featuring 2 lads hailing from up North country. Yes in a ding-dong battle that lasted close on 2 hours long, a packed Point Gym watched The Wildman now knicknamed “Wilder” and his sparring partner the evergreen Mr Mark Batchelor defeat the upbeat Bishops combination of Ken Kilpin and beefy looking Jeff “Jeggers” Middleman. Play proceeded into the late hours of the evening but eventually there could be only one winner and in the end it was the saints duo that came home smiling 7-6, 7-6. A new challenge from Rondebosch is apparently on the cards… it’s whispered that journeyman Quayles Ales and Jimmy “Jason Elley” Cricket are going to partnering up to take on the Saints duo..
More news to follow in upcoming weeks!
Saints lad Eliott cracks a nod for the Black Caps!
28-year-old Grant Eliott – the former St Stithians College schoolboy has found himself in the upcoming test squad to face England and yes he is the first South African-born player to be selected in a New Zealand test squad.
Grant or Grandie to his mates said he never had an indication he was on trial. He made one appearance for the South African A side before leaving the republic in 2001 to play in Holland for the HBS club. Now he is settled in the capital with his Dutch partner and there is no doubt where his allegiance lies.
“As soon as I arrived in New Zealand and made it my home I had aspirations for playing international cricket for New Zealand.
“It’s a really tough move to make, you always grow up thinking you’re going to be a Springbok or a Protea and then you make that change to another country,” he said. “When I played for New Zealand A (in Australia last winter), when I opened the bag and saw the silver fern – that was a real indication that New Zealand’s my home and I’ll give everything for New Zealand.”
Joey’s take on Eliott’s inclusion: “This kid can produce more strokes than an old age home!”
Evander ready to take on Iron Mike… AGAIN!
This is not an early April fools people!
Yes nice guy of boxing Mr Evander Holyfield, 45, says he is been talking to recent visitor to Cape Town Iron Mike Tyson, 41, about a possible re-match of their infamous 1997 fight in which a piece of Evander’s ear was famously chewed off.
“I’ve already said I don’t want to fight Mike no more.” BUT
Nice guy Holyfield, who failed in his quest to regain a version of the world heavyweight title in October, added, “The main thing is that Mike wants to know if I would be willing to fight him again. Yeah I said – if the price is right, I probably would’.”
Joey’s call on proceedings: “A bit like getting your mother and mother in law to mud wrestle in a ring… never gonna be a pretty site!
Voted the best Prank call ever
Yes we’ve all tried a few prank phone calls in our time… hell some of us still do (Jason Elley) Check out this one, a call operators worst nightmare. Funny stuff!
“Zuma has done for South Africa what Borat did for Khazakstan” – Sunday times
Little guy wins hearts
The world needed a hero, Solly was THAT hero.. meet Solly, weighing in at 30kg’s and pound for pound the strongest man in Bangladesh.
Happy Feet
When most of us think of Happy Feet, we think Penguines… little black and white bird like fella’s … half bird, half seal ….... HOWEVER there is a new kind of Happy Feet in town, and it’s the kind that doesn’t bob from left to right . I’m talking Happy Feet Massage parlour on Thiabalt Square. If it’s foot rubs, back rubs, neck rubs, leg rubs you after then look no further for a fraction of the cost this is the place you have been waiting for! They open from 11am-11pm, 7 days a week. I strolled in for a 30 minute neck, back and foot rub last week… it felt like I was in the heart of Thailand, Thai woman at every turn. The spine chilling experience was completed with a steaming mug of Thai green tea and the best part was that it only set me back 75 bucks!! Call (021) 425 0000 , speak to Chung-Weng Fu and if you mention my name you may get a sneaky discount.. They open till 11pm, call ‘em now!
WILDMAN SWAPS WINE FOR TENNIS
In a one-sided display of tennis not witnessed since the ‘74 French Open Final where the game was called short due to poor oposition, similar scenes donned The Point Gym tennis arena last night. The Old faithfull, The Wildman and his partner in crime Mark Batchelor bludgened the helpless Bishops duo of Ken Kipin and Jeff Juggernaught Middeleman. Score: 6-2, 6-0
The Saints duo from up North have sent out a warning-call to any other golden oldie schoolmen looking to be steamrolled
U2 like you’ve never seen them!!
U2’s Bono, famous for tracks we all know and love… he has always spoke out openely about his love for the poor and needy. A classic music video this! PUR-CHASED U2’s – Home lately (Live at Slain Castle) If you dont have it go out and get it. Definitely the best U2 DVD ever produced!!
U2 actually played their very first concert at Slain Castle in 1981, supporting THIN LIZZY, a band that had done much to make Irish music a respected force, nobody could have realised thaat 4 stars had just been born..
Johnny M kicks off the summer
I had a temper as a kid, you probably reading this thinking… sh*t yeah… so did I. Well nothing quite matches up to Johnny M’s. Sit back and have a chuckle. Seth Perreira would be proud.
COLLECTIVE SOULS NEW ALBUM - MASSIVE!!
This is there opening single.. a track called hollywood not Linkin Park or Green Day but something fresh like a new pair of jeans..
Joey’s take: “It’s already a hit!”
