I'm an attorney. While the remarks like this... ...are sometimes true, they can by no means be an indicator of the whole profession. There are plenty of lawyers in SA who do more than the minimum required pro bono work not because they must but because they want to. Remember that we bill for...

In my garage at the moment are: 1 x 1997 Toyota Corolla RSI (which has just ticked over 400,000km on the original, unopened motor); 1 x 2013 Suzuki Swift Sport (barely run-in at ~80,000km); and 1 x 2018 Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 GTI (practically brand new at just 28,000km). Shortly joining them...

The populace. I hope you're agreeing with me that an illegitimate law should be disobeyed. If not, would you obey a law, passed without the citizenry's input or rammed through the law-making process, that requires that all children born without blonde hair and blue eyes are to be killed? It's a...

I've never paid a bribe myself, but I've heard of others who have. A friend's dad supposedly paid R3k to the driving test examiner so that she could pass. She'd failed twice before and witnessing how she drove, I could easily see why. I passed my driving test at Randburg on the first try without...

Thanks, Chris. The LEDs I have run on 220V, though, so I'll need to put a transformer in somewhere along the line... There's no real purpose, I suppose. I think it'll just look cool!

A +1 for Cool Ideas. Their support was iffy a few years ago and people complained about it. They listened and now their support is excellent. Their service has always been stellar.

I've had the zany idea of building a traffic light for my man cave. I've got three coloured bulbs. I want to get a little timer that can be programmed to switch on each bulb for a set period, then switch it off and simultaneously switch on the next bulb in the sequence, much like the traffic...

Thanks, gentlemen. Appreciate the advice.

I'll suggest that to her, thanks.

Her TV isn't larney enough and she can't afford a Rain SIM.

But if there's a hill in the way...

A colleague has just moved into an apartment in Barbeque Downs, Kyalami. There is a common satellite dish for the entire block of flats - but it's only for DSTV, not Openview. There's also no antenna for analogue TV services (SABC and eTV). This means that she can't watch any kind of TV. It's...

It's easy and cheap to do, provided you've got the wheel already. Have you seen what they're going for now? R7k!

Finally got around to taking photos for you! Excuse the dreadful seat - I'm using what I was able to find at short notice. It's on the list to upgrade. The whole thing is mounted on wheels so it's super easy to move around.

That's exactly what I have, in addition to a stove isolator switch before the surge protector plug. The set-up is stove isolator switch -> surge protector plug -> multiplug.

More recently, I had left my AV centre on standby when I went out for supper one Sunday night. The centre consists of the following: 1) LG OLED C9 55-inch; 2) Denon AVR-X1200W; 3) Energy EWS-C10; 4) Grundig M800s; 5) Wharfedale Diamond 11.CS; 6) Sony PS4; 7) Sony PS2; 8) Sony BD Player; and 9)...

I've had plenty of ADSL modem-routers go bang courtesy of lightning - the strike inevitably came down the copper telephone line. On one occasion, it bypassed the modem-router and hit the hard-wired PC that was on the same desk. I very quickly learned to run and unplug the line when I heard...

Sweet f*kol vinyls!

Re-igniting this thread to say something short and sweet which is especially relevant today with the booze ban having been lifted last night: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CRAFT BREWERS! They need all the help they can get right now.

Agreed, Cool Ideas has been my ISP since I had my fibre line installed and though the service was iffy a few years ago, they've done a complete about-turn and the services levels are excellent (think service calls on Saturday mornings, call-backs at promised times, dedicated ticket managers...
