    Which carmaker do you think makes the best bakkies?

    After losing 3 Hiluxes in four years (without consent), I'm still a big Hilux fan, but this Africa thing had me buy something else, not proud to say what... ;-) It gets me from A - B and kinda handled Baboons twice.

    Which carmaker do you think makes the best bakkies?

    My first car, a green Corsa 1.3 bakkie. Blew the first engine doing just over 180km/h at 165 000km and replaced it with a 1.6 that already had 65 000km on it. Did another 130 000km before losing it in DBN.

    Inter-city trains in SA: Would you use them?

    Fond memories to a time way back, when South Africa was a possible threat to certain fist world countries, that then helped put in place a ruling party that was sure to solve their threat factor for them. And here we are 29 years later now... :-(

    Do you make way in the fast lane?

    I use the left lanes to do my 200km/h without the need to flash lights and get no response from drivers doing their steady 100km/h in the right lanes these days

    Would you sign up for Starlink?

    Most definitely YES. Currently in a closed Vodacom fiber area. Service not affected by loadshedding at all, touch wood. Local surfing is "lekka", but as a social platform engineer (or whatever they choose to call it these days) working on internationally based servers the whole day, this click...

    Do you share your streaming service password(s)?

    My brother pays for half the services and I pay for the other. Hence we share between us as there are just to many for one person to pay that uses each service on the odd occasion.

    Have you lost any appliances as a result of load shedding?

    I have measures in place, but the measures do also require new battaries from time to time as a result of the discharges due to load shedding. ;-|

    Should Multichoice be forced to carry channels?

    This is a South African issue we are talking about where everybody gets forced to do things according to the African National Congress's rules and regulations (Socialism), correct? Things like the more affluent needing to pay all sorts of taxes while certain other individuals work strictly cash...

    What's the best way to park?

    It depends. People who reverse park at shopping centers, or TRY, and then need to transfer their shopping into the vehicle's trunk from a shopping cart, tend to ALWAYS scratch the vehicles next to them in the process. So if you need to reverse park at work due to ISO standards (quick escape in...

    Does SA need new regulations around the sale of alcohol?

    It seem most are in unison, enforcement of the current regulation as with all the rules, regulation and laws that aren't being enforced. So drafting and possibly apro ing new regulation around alcohol would be a further waste of resources that could be spent on more significant issues.

    Investigation reveals fraudulent subscriptions to Vodacom WASPs

    Or maybe it's just the authorities who are failing to "police" the country as it's way to much trouble these days to get things reported and prosecuted...

    Investigation reveals fraudulent subscriptions to Vodacom WASPs

    Well, Vodacom Fiber To The Home is doing exactly the same as I subscribed to a 100/100Mbps connection when it was advertised at R1249 but I'm being consecutively billed at R1301. It's only R52 but multiply that by the number of connections they have and on can start to understand the...

    Do you support the government’s current lockdown strategy?

    Firstly it would have been 21 days, then it got extended to 35 days and now it's never ending (levels). Just some simple illustrations: Smokes - I stocked up before the initial 21 day lock-down which fortunately lasted me till two days after the full 35 day lock-down ended, but now, do I...
