Some of you may be wondering if Derek Watts is actually real after the shenanigans he has been pulling on Carte Blanche. People have asked me if he actually exists in real life, or only in myth, or if he lives in some sort of parallel universe.
Gentlemen, silence please. Ladies, stop sending me underwear. I have done the work here, but no need to praise me, this is my job. So I went onto the Google application, found Derek’s website and promptly got hold of the enigma.
As many of you know yesterday was a public holiday. But obviously according to the book of Derek, there is no such thing as a public holiday! The Man replied to my e-mail, on a public holiday! Bear in mind that I only sent the e-mail yesterday and you will know we are not dealing with an ordinary person here. We are dealing with a top class journalist.
On the other hand with me we are dealing with a D-class journalist who might reply to your e-mail…or I might not.
So I sent this off to Derek:
Hi Derek
Just a quick thanks for making the last two Sunday nights hilarious for me and many others who watched the movie Anchorman.
I literally fell about laughing when you ended the Carte Blanche hows with “You stay classy South Africa” and “Thanks for stopping by” It’s humour of the highest quality!
Just a question: Was it some sort of dare?
It has made many peoples Sunday evenings for the past two weeks and literally EVERYONE is talking about it!
I can wait to see what is in store this coming week.
Best regards

Anyway, not quite expecting a reply the exact same day, Derek, ever the professional, get’s back to me the very same day! Here is what Derek had to say:
Hi Sean
Just a bit of fun! Think I’ve watched the movie about a dozen times with the kids.
Sure Ron would understand!
Thanks for your comments
Cheers now

Derek is so low key, he never even gave his name a capital letter. That’s what makes him so cool, he is so awesome yet so normal. That is why he is an enigma of sorts.
But just imagine for a second: Imagine Derek was your father? How RAD would life be?! Ha ha it would be virtual insanity!
Derek is cool. He is too cool. And so another piece of the mysterious puzzle we now call “Derek” is put into place.
