    iPhone 14 discussions

    Currently have a Xiaomi Note 10 Pro dual-sim, but after seeing how fantastic my wife's iPhone 13 Mini is, I think its time to switch back to Apple. Also want a much smaller screen. First sim is Vodacom (company), 2nd is MTN (personal prepaid). Is it possible to get the MTN physical sim changed...

    Moving to the Southern Suburbs

    @saturnz will be provided parking at the office thankfully. @rh1 will certainly check out the myciti option. I'm sure it will be eye opening to see an actual functioning public transport system. Up here it's basically just the Gautrain. In terms of household parking, it looks like most places...

    Luckily in a position where we are more than comfortable enough to justify the cost.

    Definitely. Stayed in Bishopscourt for a mates wedding. 10 of us in this beautiful massive house. Can't imagine what the monthly rent is :X3:

    My parents still have retrievers, and they have a massive garden. The pugs love running around with the bigger dogs. Certainly want to give them something to stretch their legs.

    Moving to the Southern Suburbs

    Big trail runners. Done UTCT multiple times. If we could be next to the mountain that would be our first choice. Great point on stomaching the traffic. May just be worth our while. Durbanville, Vierlanden, Pinehurst all worth considering? How far should we consider East / South? Seems like a...

    :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: Grew up with Retrievers, and thought I'd have one as my own one day. Then my wife came along :X3:

    Moving to the Southern Suburbs

    I'll be taking on a new role in the CBD in Cape Town from 1st July. My wife is currently working in a hybrid capacity with one of the banks (will end up going into the CBD once or twice a week). We are coming from Joburg. Most of my time (holiday's, races etc) has been spent in the Southern...

    Stockists of Hermanuspietersfontein Wines

    Makro has had Posmeester on sale for around R80 before. Picked up quite a few bottles last year. Absolute steal for such a great wine.

    The official running thread™

    Glad you enjoyed it! :thumbsup: Just for future reference, above where it says "Klipriviersberg", theres another 'valley' as well as a straight-up trail that both send you to the top of that ridgeline. Let's you mix up things on that side as there are more trails compared to the Western ridgeline.

    Yep trail is well marked, well run, so its easy to navigate. Suggest you do park at the Recreation Centre and run from there as it has significant security as well as a restaurant. Also try go as they open at 6am. It does it get very busy closer to 8.

    Klipriviersberg is actually one of the best places to get vert / technical trails in Joburg. Just make sure you do the red route. Cradle Moon is great. Also try Taroko Trails in Modderfontein. More fast and flowing.

    Takealot closing down Pickup points?

    Almost always use the pickup point in Bryanston now. I've never had to wait, possibly because the local delivery guys use a different entrance. Packages are always available 1-2 days prior to the original 'estimated' delivery day. Really is such a pleasure.
