'Borg & McEnroe play doubles on YouTube'

The year was somewhere in the early 80s. It was early evening and I was on my way to the Oriental Hotel to attend a cocktail party.

Not just any cocktail party, mind you.

It was a toast to visiting Bjorn Borg, the enigmatic, legendary "Ice Man" of tennis. And I was sooooo excited.

After being glued to the telly for all his matches, I was going to meet him in person and he did not disappoint. I cannot for the life of me remember what we chatted about (it was brief but friendly) but who cares?

And then there's McEnroe - the brat, the bad boy of tennis, the one so many loved to hate.... at least on centre court.

This clip certainly brings back memories and it is certainly true - Alone they were good, Together they were great.

'The Mumsnet Rules'

Ask me how I managed to end up with two gorgeous, thoughtful, loving children and for the life of me, I would not be able to tell you.

Coming from a big family (growing up with five brothers, four sisters most definitely counts as big), it was not easy for either my mother or father. Just putting food on the table, clothing and educating us was a challenge in itself. Times were hard but looking back, I have incredible memories of the simplest things making us happy.

With Allan and Aimee, things were much easier on the material side. But we all know that material things count for nought when it comes to moulding children in decent young people.

While we may have given them some guidance, rules, limits as well as hugs, cuddles and love as they were growing up, I know that who they are today stems from what they were and are inside. Lucky me.

Nowadays, there are so many help avenues available to parents along every step of the way.

There are counselling centres, self-help groups, websites as well as books galore on parenting.

The Mumsnet Rules is one such gem. This "survival guide" is filled with (according to UK celebrity Davina McCall) non-judgmental golden nuggets to empower us while making us smile.

The Mumsnet Rules is the book parents everywhere have been crying out for - provocative, funny, indispensable, inimitable, and a triumph of commonsense over hysteria.

The Mumsnet rule app is available free for iPhones and Android. Also, be sure to visit mumsnet.com on Facebook or www.mumsnet.com

Hats off to Justine Roberts, founder of mumsnet.

'Blackberry Brand Engagement'

I'm sitting in a cafe in Bangkok. I'm standing in the Skytrain. I'm just one of thousands in a mall. And every other man and his dog (correction: young girls, business types, nerds and hunks, as well as chunks) has his (her) eyes glued to a BB. A BB Torch; a BB Curve; a BB Bold

Conversations have been known to centre on where they got theirs from, oohs and aahs over the latest model and all its accompanying apps, and short bursts of silence as everyone reads the latest Tweet or whatever from a mate.

I must admit that when it comes to stuff like this, I'm about three steps behind the rest. It's not that I don't like snazzy-looking gadgets but eight-ninths of the time, I don't even scroll through the apps on my very modest phone.

But that has all changed. I now have my very own BB, courtesy of my son, Allan. Watch out BB people, here I come.

'Heineken The Date'

One of my favourite memories of my early days in Bangkok was sipping on a cold beer on a warm day in the family room, watching Allan and Aimee (then just ankle-biters) play. Beer never tasted so good.

It is no longer my favourite drink but I still enjoy downing one in a pub, by the beach or on a hot day.

Beer ads range from corny to slick and I have to say that Heineken's new ad, The Date, is slick and stylish. Second in the Open Your World campaign from Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam, it features the 'Heineken legend' (Guillaume Dolmans)showing off to his date (Samantha Rex, lead sing of The Attic Ends.

In between his antics in the kitchen of an Asian restaurant, we're treated to clips from inside the restaurant where a band has the crowd rockin' rollin' n jivin'.

Lots of Chinese in the ad, LA-stype showgirls, a Heineken "magic trick" and (almost) something of everything but funnily enough, it is a popular 1960s Indian song, "Jaan Pehechan Ho", that has the crowd dance dance dancing away.

It's fast-paced, cleverly choreographed and definitely entertaining. And, of course, the beer is great.
