    eHomeAffairs - getting it to work for you

    For anyone wanting to know, GWP stands for Government Printing Works. https://www.gpwonline.co.za/about-gpw/ Better SEO here than on the GPWonline.co.za site itself. 🤦‍♂️

    WordPress launches 100-year domain registrations for $38,000

    Some more bad research at play here. This is an offer by Wordpres.com, not "Website web content management system and hosting service WordPress". The two are separate entities. It's like calling me an Editor on MyBroadband because I wrote this comment. Relating to the offer, it's worth noting...

    New giveaway - Win one of three Cricut Joy machines – A gift that keeps on giving

I went in after 3, and a useless person behind the desk did a half-hearted search through the cards, and then told me to bugger off and wait for the SMS.

    Standard Bank Mobile
