    The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

    Yup. But nothing to be gained by showing his hand early, especially with 9 and 10. Let the AB's have to prepare for all possibilities.

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    Vodacom pay as you go. Theoretically, as I have jumped through the Vodacom hoops, I should not be getting any of these. But I do.

    The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

    Under-pressure All Blacks’ ‘speed the game up’ campaign rings hollow The All Blacks want the world to play their way again. The problem is, the Boks worked out years ago that to be successful, they don’t have to. With nine days to the first Test between the Springboks and All Blacks, the...

    Eskom won't fine residential customers for failing to register their solar systems by 30 September 2026

    Summed it up well. Plusses and minusses. I found one place that is more middle ground though but that's for another day/thread.

    Eskom won't fine residential customers for failing to register their solar systems by 30 September 2026

    A huge reason to be living here. Having been trained to live like a battery chicken for 20 years in Europe and then USA, I struggled to re-adapt when I came back. I'd joke that I had moved from the Old Wild West to the New Wild West.

    SA football players abroad

    Are they though? With no facts, I think that the star players for the bigger clubs may be well paid. But the rest are scraping by on scraps, but they're no very good . There is unquestionably a lot of money in the game but I suspect it stays in the owner's pockets. I don't follow the PSL...

    To scare the All Blacks? :sneaky:

    The official 'Learn Afrikaans' thread™

    Buy used books! I'm interested in early Southern Africa history and I buy many out of print books at fractions of the prices of new books on Bobshop. I have just looked for Afrikaans children's books and I see prices starting at R1. Yes, R1! Depending on where you live shipping runs from R60...

    Gooi in another "toe"? :) Is it correct?

    Faf was also good to give away a bonehead penalty every game. Rassie probably got tired of that.

    Bad Parking Pictures

    How is that narrow space next to the wall even a parking bay? :rolleyes: Effectively, he has used one space.

    Herotel CEO says Amazon Leo will offer better speeds than Starlink in a year

    The one lodge where they has just finished installing wifi in each chalet, none of the others had this, I see I got a download speed of 4.75 Mbps, Ping 93, then 4 hours later 14.5 and 4. This was the best connection by far. I never tested elsewhere, but it was a struggle.

    Herotel CEO says Amazon Leo will offer better speeds than Starlink in a year

    Well, there you go. I have no idea what was used. It could well be the equipment used. Just my experience.

    Herotel CEO says Amazon Leo will offer better speeds than Starlink in a year

    For me, there wasn't. I was connecting onto game lodge networks. Of course, it was far better - at least it was mostly there - than trying to use the internet in the Kalahari Gemsbok Park or Kruger Park! (at least, 2-3 years ago)

    Herotel CEO says Amazon Leo will offer better speeds than Starlink in a year

    In June 2026. Having read how Starlink brings the internet to rural areas, I was surpised at slow and intermittent it was in rural Zambia. Just my experience. In fairness, I need to add that I met someone in the sticks who had signed up for a modem/router package and said it was good. But she...
