    Sony Service Centre for Blu-ray Player repair

    Funnily enough, that was my thread and it was a BDP-S590 that I had trouble with. I never could sort it out, but I'm keen to give it a try someday and see if the problem has self-corrected, as it did for @jlaubza. I'm keeping the S590 as a spare player in the meantime. I posted the same thread...

    CRT TVs. Is there still a demand for them somewhere?

    You misspelt it! It's carbonite.co.za. There is certainly good demand amongst the old-school gaming brigade, especially the older Sony Trinitrons and the like. @1200GXman, I could put you in touch with a retro gaming WhatsApp group were CRTs often come up for sale. Let me know.

    Dont fall for this scam!

    If that is the depth of your research, I will from now on take everything you say with a bucket of salt. You really should read the entire article and understand that USA law does not apply in South Africa, before posting something like this. Except it isn't, as many others here have said. No...

    Dreading renewal of Driver's Licence and Passport (Jhb) - advice, hints & tips?

    This route might have worked in November 2023 but it ain't working now! Got the same response from the SMS line and tried ringing both the direct line and Waterfall's switchboard yesterday and today - both numbers seem to be dead or permanently engaged. There's a long silence before the...

    Cars that were tuned in South Africa

    They're remarkable cars. My mom's 1997 RSi, which she bought new and is now mine, has covered 400,000km so far without having broken down once or even having the motor opened up. It's got the 5-speed gearbox. Fun and little-known fact: the 5-speed cars were slower off the mark to 100km/h than...

    Cars that were tuned in South Africa

    Nobody's mentioned the Toyota Corolla RSi and RXi! SA was the only country globally to have that particular body shape of Corolla offered with the potent 1.6l 4A-GE Blacktop 20V motor - making 115kW!

    Political comments from Picture of the Day.

    And if Israel was to give in to their demands, can you say, with your hand on your heart, that Hamas would stop firing missiles into Israel? "From the river to the sea" and all that...

    No, dude, answer the question properly. Your failure to do so, instead switching the question around, implies that you do not, in fact, have an answer to it.

    So the UN report is an Israeli "story" and it's "made up & full of lies"?

    No, dude, I'm simply calling a spade a spade. When an attack gets personal, it is to be called out and decried. And you will note that it is you who failed to respond to my earlier comment in this thread.

    A fine example of 'whataboutism'. Some evidence of this bald claim (with the same strength as a report by the UN) is necessary.

    I thought ad hominem attacks are prohibited in this thread and on this forum, @marantz123?

    Quick one: @AlleyCat, do you condemn Hamas' terrorist actions? 'Yes' or 'No' only, please.

    WTB Property in the Garden Route

    Not sure if it works the same way in the Cape but in the City of Joburg, sewerage and refuse bins are calculated according to stand size.

    Am I then correct in saying that in holding supporting members' personal information, you are fully compliant with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013?
