Ouch! I can already feel your pain X.x
Was it Google play store App updates? People generally forget to turn auto-update off.

Next time set your phone to only update on WiFi.

AFAIK Samsung devices have this set as default.

No was Google play downloading queued playlists. One phone was on Hotspot of other phone so it thought it's on WiFi & smoked through data @ 4G. Round 400 meg so round 20zar per meg

At this stage in just hoping it's not too high...gonna mess with my cashflow. :( Wanted to buy an iPhone cash but that's gonna have to wait a month now.

Waking up without power :eek:

Internet is down as well which won't please the family when they wake. Fortunately I'll be at the cricket… unfortunately, given the weather, I'll be at the cricket…

People with expensive fast cars, like a Mercedez Benz AMG, driving slowly on the roads. Why buy a fast car but will end up driving like a pensioner or learner driver?

But how will people see them if they racing about?

One of the disadvantages of sleeping naked... need to get dressed before going out! :p

I bet that if you went out naked he may have given up for fear of what you had in mind if you caught him.

If you're hungry the Giraffe restaurant is quite decent.

You just reminded me of a song by some Hip Hop guy named Ludacris, the chorus is "two miles an hour so everybody sees you".

Maybe, :D

Mostly it's women that turn a fast car into a snail or tortoise, the ones I've seen that is.

I believe they're on a bigger system that includes other similar pay for wifi services across town so it could be anyone anywhere lol.

I've moved away from FNB 3 years ago because they spam WAY TOO MUCH. Last month I opened a investment account with them and lo and behold I got a call today from them trying to flog me a Easy Account. Don't know why people praise FNB so much even if they give me all the free ebucks in the world spamming me is NOT ON. They can sod off :mad:

I wouldn't mind trading "all the free bricks in the world" for some spam, that would be a lot of money :D
But you're right spam is really irritating, but it's not just FNB, the other banks do it too.

People who don't obey rules of the road in Gauteng.. it feels like the overwhelming majority don't give a crap and drive on wrong side of roads, go thru stop signs/red robots etc.

It's getting so bad that i sometimes wonder if the road rules changed :(

I think a change needs to come or someone should go full on vigilante and destroy vehicles of offenders

Pedestrian knocked down this morning in Gately St, EL. By default, I feel for the guy driving the vehicle... it's quite possible he was speeding but I can tell you that I default to the pedestrian's fault through my own experience as a driver trying to navigate people crossing the road like dumb goats...

Not Capitec. I haven't received one when they launched their CC.

Yes, true that. I remember when opening an account, there was an option to opt-out of their adverts/promtions etc.
When I told the consultant that I didn't want to receive any spam, she said that they don't send spam and she even showed me what they send to the clients.
But I was still like - No thanks :whistling:
