    Anyone renting their property out?

    Solid advice. Bit more administration upfront but worth it. Also, ask for deposit equalling two months rent, this being pretty standard now.

    That is saxy....

    Pizero W

    Much want! Would there be any interest in a group buy for this? What was the landed cost?

    'Mericans......?

    That... that's not the worst idea ever....  :dop: (soon...)

    The Whisky thread

    Funny, the 12 year Glenlivet failed to impress me; I keep it for guests. I have a strange palate, as I seem to be the only one who doesn't enjoy it.

    'Mericans......?

    I admit to not caring about humans much (except for children). In all honesty, I prefer dogs. I would much rather save a dog than a human. There, I said it. I have to agree, it's cruelty hiding behind culture. Unacceptable. I would love 5 minutes alone in a room with anyone who inflicts...

    House renovations - and what is reasonable?

    Hard to tell as your biggest cost (building/wetwork/kitchen) is not broken down. Aggregate costs are a convenient way by contractors to hide costs. Recently had kitchen redone (still in the process actually), and when I requested a cost breakdown I was being charged R500 for every downlight...

    Dealextreme - Scam?

    If you mean dx.com,its not a scam, quite a big international online retailer. The problem is probably woth SAPO. If you order international parcels through SAPO without a tracking number, you are going to have a bad time.

    What was the last Film you watched?

    This weekend,  Trainspotting (last saw it 10 years ago, fantastic stuff), Snowden (much better than I expected) and Lion (really enjoyed it). Watched Sully last week, did not enjoy it.

    Getting my Ducks in a Row

    Had many ducks with ducklings at our previous office, also, many cats... The cats picked them off one by one. I even managed to relocate some ducklings once, but those cats were ruthless and relentless with every brood

    Improvement at the Post Office? I think not

    Ahhhh, the post office.... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, what was I thinking. Fool me fourice (?) I'm a glutton for punishment. Fool me fifthce, I have to stop doing this I mean come on really you knew this was going to happen really now? I now simply...

    last night's parliament.

    It certainly was telling, hearing those ANC members of parliament use language in parliament that their mothers would not approve of. Speaks volumes to their capability and decorum? Two minutes after the honourable Jacob Zuma actually started his speech, I had to find a way to stay awake, so I...

    Calling all Margate'ers

    The decay has been slow and steady, business in the "Margate CBD" shrinking every year. Not as safe as it was to walk around there outside of holiday season, when it seems a bit more placid. Property prices have done badly for the last ten years. Crime can get pretty bad there, especially...

    Calling all Margate'ers

    Are you familiar with the area at all? How long since your last visit to the South Coast? Having spent some time with the locals visiting there the past couple of years, I would not buy property there.

    Building Rates

    My unfolding slow-motion horror story is with a kitchen installation. The mere mention of their governing body (KSA) did elicit their full cooperation.

    Building Rates

    Whatever you do, make sure they are registered with a governing body such as the NHBRC. If problems arise, you need to have recourse. (Currently in such a situation)

    It's a compromise!..

    Accurate observation. Of course you have your exceptions, where some small high end bookshelves can put out respectable low end, but I feel those small drivers working that hard is... wrong? Debatable, but meh whatever. I have settled on 2-way floorstanders for my main system. Seems less...

    Keaton Jennings Century on debut

    Ain't we saffas the best. Giving the world some of the best sportsmen to be had. And by "giving", I mean "gifting"  :ROFLMAO:

    Pet-peeves

    I started typing out my list. Then I saw the length of my list... Problem must be with me  :ROFLMAO: Common denominator throughout my pet-peeves being: human stupidity. Stoopid people should be sent to an island. Like... the UK....  :flame:
