I can recall going to smallish restaurants and hotels and eating curries, hamburgers, soup, lamb, etc.

I can recall that we frequently went to the Wimpie's and the Kentucky's.
At about the same stage, we also started eating Chinese takeaways.

We did never had a car as I grew up, so I rarely went the Road Houses we had in PE, although I made up for that in later years.
:D

Later, we also tried the Chicken Licken outlets.

Watching movies at the Drivings also turned out to be a party festival and depending on the budget it, the car was normally filled with Kentucky or Chicken Licken or Hamburgers or Hotdogs from the shop at the Driving, but definitely no Pizzas.


I can recall visiting Steers, Nandos, McDonalds and various Sea Food shops later on in my life. I think I was working by this stage. I started working in 1983.

But I can't recall when I first ate a Pizza to save my life!!!
I honestly can't recall that I ever ate it as a kid in any Hotel, Resturant, Shop, bazaar, wedding, church functions.
Nor can I recall eating it as a teenager. I obviously know I ate it as an adult, but not sure when I ate it the first time!!!

I love to eat it and it does not take much to convince me to order a Pizza.
Even my wife makes a mean home made pizza.

I must admit that my memory is a bit dodgy the last few years.

From a comment on Johannesburg's night life:

I used to DJ at Alcatraz and Alice-D, and remember this place as The Dungeon during the Glass Onion and Alcatraz years and then as Tchaikovskys and then finally Icon after the demise of Alice-D.

Just down the road from here was the one of the original Joburg punk clubs, Club Double Image where I also Djed for a number of years. It all such a long time ago, I can't remember the street that Image was located on....

Jimmy work for Roland Raker who over the years owned Club Double Image, Glass Onion, Alactraz, Alice-D, Tchaikovskys, The Cramps up on Jeppe street [I think!] and a place on the road leading from the Chelsea Hotel corner [another place I DJed in] going towards Yeoville that got closed down by the police in a massive raid in the middle of the night.

Its sad to see it go like this, during the mid 80s to the mid 90s, there was alot on in terms of late night entertainment in the city centre, and to see it destroyed is very very sad indeed. ]]> Do you remember? rpm http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/529252-Glass-Onion-alternative-nightclub The Fridge nightclub http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/529250-The-Fridge-nightclub?goto=newpost Sat, 11 May 2013 15:55:17 GMT The Fridge nightclub in Johannesburg – and later in Pretoria if memory serves – served the alternative community in the early 1990s.

I want to scream at her retreating back ‘He’s the kind of man who will buy the inexpensive tickets…you’ll be so far from the stage Bob Dylan will look as though he could be hanging on a keyring!’”

December 30 2007 at 12:00pm, By Melanie Peters (link: http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-afri...4#.UYFKYLX-GKU)

The MTN cellphone network says it is taking firm action to prevent a repeat of a fraud incident in which an online syndicate hacked into the bank account of a city charity and stole thousands through a SIM swap.

The Novalis Ubuntu Institute lost almost R100 000 when the Johannesburg-based syndicate hacked into its bank account. Crucial to the crime was the syndicate's success in discovering the bank's highest online security measure - the one-time password necessary for carrying out the transaction.

They did this by persuading MTN to swap a simcard so that the one-time password was sent to them, and not to Ubuntu's chief financial officer, Anne-Lise Bure. A total of R90 460 was taken from her Standard Bank Internet banking account.

A SIM swap allows a cellphone user to replace a SIM card, whether through the damage, or loss of a cellphone, while keeping the same cellphone number.

By cloning Bure's SIM card the fraudsters were able to hack into the account, create a new beneficiary - which can be done only when the bank sends a client the one-time password via SMS - and transfer the money into several accounts.

In this case the syndicate, armed with a fraudulent ID book in Bure's name, persuaded MTN to swap the simcard in Bure's absence.

The Ubuntu project looks after orphaned and vulnerable children.

Bure said from what she could establish, a man had gone into an MTN provider store in the Johannesburg city centre pretending to be her driver.

He told a sales consultant that he had been sent by Bure to do a SIM card swap. He had a fake identity document that had Bure's husband's surname, Shepherd, misspelt, as well as Bure's maiden surname, which she uses.

The identity number in the ID book was Bure's but the picture was that of another woman.

The MTN consultant told the fraudster he couldn't do the SIM swap without Bure being present, but the "driver" said she was "very busy". He asked the dealer to phone her and gave him a number. The woman who answered claimed to be Bure and asked him to do the SIM swap, which he did.

Four days later Bure was shocked to find the bank account empty.

Ntombi Mhangwani, MTN's spokesperson, said the matter was still being investigated by the network's fraud department together with the National Prosecuting Authority.

She said in this case the fraudsters already had enough information on Bure to defraud her, without the MTN details.

"The perception exists that this fraud is as a result of MTN's processes failing, when in fact the victim is partially to blame for not protecting sensitive information such as bank account numbers and passwords.

"The incident happened at a dealer store where it seems the personal authentication process broke down.

"We are implementing an auto SMS function to inform the subscriber that a SIM swap has been requested on his or her account prior to proceeding with the SIM swap transaction. This will allow the subscriber time to contact MTN in the event that they did not request the SIM swap."

The Standard Bank made an ex gratia payment of R40 000 to help make up the loss, but MTN has not followed suit. ]]> Do you remember? rpm http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/526844-MTN-moves-to-prevent-SIM-card-swap-fraud-(December-2007-IOL-report) Peppermint Crisp and milk http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/526646-Peppermint-Crisp-and-milk?goto=newpost Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:54:50 GMT Gotta love it!
