Bacchus
Hell hath no fury
Bacchus is well-acquainted with the saying “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” but he wants to believe that the story of Bla Thabo is only a myth. You see the man used to do odd jobs in and around Maseru, while his wife had a steady job at one of the Indian-owned shops. [...]

SOMEONE once said, everything under the sun has already been done. Bacchus thinks that whoever said this must have been a teetotaller because with a few pints of beer, a man can become a very creative being and do some things that have never been done under the sun in question. Anyway, yours truly read [...]

A sadistic lot they are, these LDF soldiers. At least that is what the dreadlocked young man at the local watering hole would like us to believe. Nutty T, as Teboho the Rastafarian likes to call himself, is an angry man. Two weeks ago, Nutty T caught wind of a party being held at house [...]

BOTTOMS UP WITH BACCHUS She can’t keep away from trouble, this girl we call Savannah. Yet what one “artist” did to her was so wrong too! Each time I remember what that lady did to her last weekend, my stomach turns in disgust. Savannah is beautiful, I have told you before. Her cherry red [...]

Since as long as 2 000 years ago, when a great man turned gallons of water into wine, the issue of beverages at marriage ceremonies has always fascinated philosophers like Bacchus. You see the two do not co-exist peacefully all the time. Yet they go well together. It’s like the two people who are getting [...]

Yours truly had a hearty laugh this week when he read about the US man who was arrested at a grocery store after workers found him at a table in the deli, eating avocados, cake and other items. Police said the 38-year-old man was intoxicated and had a hearty spread, including cake, cookies and plums, [...]

BOTTOMS UP WITH BACCHUS FOR years, young people have asked me: what makes a happy couple? Being a man of the people, yours truly has always enjoyed drinking in various settings to find out the answer to this question.

BOTTOMS UP WITH BACCHUS YOURS truly is nursing a mild heartbreak. Mild, because it was not the truly-madly-deeply kind of an affair. I could be placed under the secret admirers category but I had intended to break the ice last weekend. I wanted to do it at the right place and at the right [...]

BOTTOMS UP WITH BACCHUS HAVE you ever wondered why a nightclub is sometimes called a watering hole? If you thought it was simply because people go there to quench their thirst, think again. Each person in that place is like an animal at a watering hole out there in the bundu. It’s a jungle [...]
