I went to the Musica store at Cresta this past Saturday morning. Not a single Blu-Ray disc in sight, barely any PS4/Xbox/PC games and most of the shelves were empty. Either the bargain hunters descended on the shop during the previous weekdays or Musica has removed all the 'high-value' kit to...

Very useful list - just recommended Nilam to a mate of mine, having found Nilam's details in this thread. Thank you!

Practise barge-o-nomics: don't use it as your primary car; don't rely on it when you are looking to get to important appointments; and have a (large) budget - buy the car for dirt cheap and plough the rest into a savings account for the inevitable day that you'll need hordes of cash for repairs.

Bit of a drive from Bryanston but Hi Tech Mag Repairs in Bosworth/Alrode is highly recommended by the petrolhead community.

I checked my PO box at the end of October after diligently checking it twice a month since February, it being empty ever time. There were City of Joburg invoices from February and March, eToll invoices (ha!) from January and a registered letter delivery note dated March. When I went to (attempt...

Your views have been challenged and you now refuse to participate in a reasonable debate? What a poor showing.

That's what grates my 'nads about the schemes, especially Vitality. The number of hoops to jump through borders on the insane. Sometimes I wonder if someone sits at FNB/Discovery and thinks, "What neat tricks can we make Vitality subscribers do today? An idea! Maybe they can be forced to...

No offence taken - my skin is thick. But it seems as though you're very touchy about eBucks... You've also failed to address my core point: simplicity. Greenbacks requires pretty much no research but eBucks on the other hand... Well, let's allow your posts and "extensive" research do the...

Oh, no, she did steal some things many years ago, predominantly before she became a victim herself. When I say she did, it was over holidays when she was entrusted to look after the house. Nobody else was on the premises at the time, there was no forced entry and yet things went missing... I'm...

My domestic worker knows full well that I keep a sharp eye on my kit. She knows not to go near any of the TVs, audio setups and computer screens - practically any high-end electronic goods, bar the fridge, toaster, microwave, kettle and vacuum cleaner. That said, I don't believe she's ever...

Just as bad :giggle: @Damian, that's hectic, dude. Have you informed the shop about the issue? What've they had to say?

Nothing against you, Drifter, but eBucks really is a load of horse manure - what an enormous amount of effort and adaptions you have to make just to earn rewards! And so much of it is to goad you into using more of FNB's products, thereby paying more money to FNB. Nedbank's rewards programme is...

Of course I had to repeat this out loud in Grim's voice  :clap: :clap: :clap:

All the slots are being quickly pinched by the driving schools and licence renewal services and then "sold" to their clients as part of the renewal service. It's a significant problem that's being ongoing for months.

One of my favourites - perfect for a daily dop.

If anybody in Joburg wants to try some terrific local-local craft beers, give Agars a try. They've got eight different brews, including the Warrior IIPA at 7.2% (!), and each is superb. I'm an enormous fan of their brews. The brewery is located in Kya Sands and I don't believe their beers are...

I'll add a thanks to WGS for lending me his BD player when mine was on the blink so that I could do some testing to see which device was the culprit, without ever asking for any form of security (despite my repeated offers).

Incorrect. To my knowledge, only finalised judgments/orders are reflected against entities. Listing pending matters against entities - and persons - would be contrary to the core principle of innocent until proven guilty.

The point is that one shouldn't need to approach the courts to have issues like this dealt with. It's why name-and-shame forums like HelloPeter exist as well as consumer journalists, for that matter. And they generally work quite well: shady characters ought to be exposed with the strong proviso...
