Bargain Store in Westlake

There’s a little shop I found in the Westlake Business Park called Robin Mills Group  that I absolutely LOVE and frequently visit.  Yes the name can be deceiving but inside I found so many little treasures at the most ridiculous prices… continue reading»

How sneaky Axxess

It’s not illegal to pay Google to advertise your business’ website and use another company name in the title of the advert but it’s just an eyebrow raiser as to why Axxess only done this to Afrihost…it’s quite funny but still it’s sneaky, or what are your thoughts?

Do the search on your browser for ‘Afrihost’ and see what you find.

Let Google remind you of your Facebook events by sms

 

Step by Step instructions on setting up a solution to help you remember events to attend – especially the tons of event invites you get from your Facebook friends!

I could never remember such a lot of gigs, it's actually not rocket science – I don't remember them, I let my calendar remember them and then Google smses me to remind me.

Thought I'd share how I set this up (for those who don't already know this). 

Instructions as follows: continue reading»

New gadgets reviewed

It was my birthday month in May, so I decided that it was “Spoil Anastacia” time.

After about a month or so of using the gadget, I think I can give my two cents worth about each of them. continue reading»

Can we just have an ADSL line already…PLEASE!

A rough calculation using our bank records gave us evidence of how much money we actually have been spending on Vodacom airtime in the last two years.

It was because of this reason we decided to have a Telkom ADSL line installed – this was back in February 2010. So we applied at the Telkom shop in Canal Walk, completed the forms and I gave my ID copy.

Just over a week or so I received this letter from Telkom. Now in this letter you will see that already they apologised for not installing on time. Note that the date they sent it was 23 February 2010 and there is no name of the person that signed that letter.  They also got my title and name wrong but thats a minor.

Scanned copy of letter (click to enlarge) ->  

End of April I had to move because I was evicted as the landlord wanted the place for her “grandson” from JHB. I used to live in Walmer Estate at the address in this letter and I requested that this application just be moved to a new address.

I won’t tell you a word of a lie, but Telkom called me on 30 April (the  Friday before I had to move) , to say that they were going to install the line in Walmer Estate  on Monday 03 May 2010 – the same day the moving van was going to move me… continue reading»

Touring Cape Town Stadium

The visitors center at the stadium reopened and tours are once again available to the public. We managed to get a booking for Tuesday 16 March at 2pm.

Interesting facts that I learned:

  • there are three holding cells – one for males, one for females and one for juveniles – this is inside the police station that is available at the stadium
  • the first female crane operator in South Africa, Zoliswa Gila, helped construct the stadium and is now employed as a tour guide at the stadium; she said she had to climb up 90 meters to get in to her crane every day – imagine she needed to go to the toilet!
  • The entire stadium was built in 33 months from 2007 to December 2009 continue reading»

RAMFest IV review

I couldn’t believe that Boo! were getting back together and performing at Ramfest IV. I remember reading the line-up on the event page on Last.fm. back in December 2009 and commented “Boo! ????? Are you sure?”.

So yes, the reunion of Boo! is what interested me in the festival this year and it’s the reason I had SUCH  great time. We only trekked through to the festival on the Saturday afternoon, following directions from a mate in Franschhoek. “It’s quicker to come via Franschhoek” (driving from Cape Town). Bullshit! It took us at least two hours to get to the party – a whole hour behind schedule.  Nekkies wasn’t on the map to do the distance checking ourselves (for the record) and we went there in geek gear and mapped the entire route.

Never again will another trance head or RAMfest party goer be lost on route to the destination.

I went all prepared and packed in my alcohol in non glass bottles…

For the record, if you throw Smirnoff Storms in to a empty 1.5L Lemon Twist bottle, guess what/. It looks like Lemon Twist. If you throw it in to a Ginger beer bottle looks like ginger beer. Only thing though, NEVER leave the 1.5L empty bottle in the car when the next day is like 30 degrees hot. That shit melted.

Got there just as the sun was setting. Nice! No one got to see my skimpy shorts and shades and I settled for my fisherman’s pants as it got kinda chilly.

So I rock up at the fest, we pay our way and get out arm bands etc. Madam refuses to walk in with her 1.5L Lemon Twist alcohol and opts to buy from the bar inside instead. Moerse big mistake. There went at least 35 minutes of waiting to be looked at. Ramfest removed the lineup so I forget who I saw and in what order… continue reading»

New word I made up

The ability to pretend that nothing happened (with a straight face) and still be confused (yourself) as to whether it actually did happen.

My feel good day

Few things that really made me happy today include:

  • heard from my UK mate re the parcel I delivered to Durban … he’s now the owner of a Rudimentals DVD
  • also just heard from a friend in Mexico who will confirm later re his DVD, at least its in the care of his aunt’s hands now.

UPDATE: His tweet . continue reading»
