  1. Sunsets with my Galaxy S6 Edge Not a bad place for a puncture ... Could not help by do the slowest ever repair
  2. Old Thread but I just switched to 25c from 23c... Way more comfortable...
  3. Yes exactly that... The demand has dropped because a lot of businesses have lost money due to load shedding and have explored alternative means. Some go the cheap route and just install a Generator. Others have realized the benefit of generating your own power. The public is increasingly switching to Solar Heaters and some also opted to install PV Power. Although its still expensive, one can get a loan and still be cash positive at the end of the month.
  4. Well don't worry too much.. Apart from maintenance load shedding as a form of power management is unlikely to return soon.. Eskom boasts that its them.. but this article says different.. http://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/158643-load-shedding-was-ended-by-south-africas-weak-economy-not-eskom.html
  5. Thats exactly the problem.. They know what the solution is, but they do not care because it does not financially benefit em.
  6. No No No... We are not heading for a surplus because Eskom is doing a great job in spending our tax money on expensive, dirty power stations. The SA public has given you the finger and are increasingly installing Solar Water Heaters and PV Power systems. Companies, like mine, know that if it was not for the SA middle and upper class being sick of having to deal with load shedding, after you took our Tax money to build a firepool instead of maintaining the existing power staions, Eskom would still be Knee Deep in s###. Rather forget about coal fired power and invest in Renewables.. incentivise my clients to install a Solar PV system or Solar Heater again.. But No.. too many of you have "interests" in the coal mines.
  7. A really catchy tune from Blink 182

    a Lot of those okes are 1st Class A-holes anyway.. Like Hazelwood asking on Live Tv "Who the f*** is third umpire" Like he is in a better position to make a call than a guy sitting with several camera angles and slow mo's .

    Rugby...

    That is the key to our performance yes.. It's like in the 1980 US Olympic Ice Hockey Team where coach Herb Brookes said " I'm not looking for the BEST players, I'm looking for the RIGHT ones" Ackers seem to have done just that

    Just That Yes...

    Formula 1...

    That maybe true.. but it would have definitely saved the other 2 drivers.. JB's crash was a race management problem.. should not have continued with the race until it was clear.

    Rugby...

    Im in the same boat. The wait is proving to be worth it.

    Rugby...

    Yes Please... What a game... The Lions now Beat Japan in Japan (Which beat the Boks) and The All Blacks in NZ (which won the WC) so maybe there should have been more Lions in the Bok team last year

    Formula 1...

    I have an idea.. Just draw names out of a hat.. that would make it interesting Bernie !!!

    Formula 1...

    Most drivers have no problem with it. Seb says forget that it looks ugly, it will save lives.. But guess what Lewis Hamilton (that name is a swear word in my house btw) says its ugly and F1 lacks direction.. Well excuse me FIGJAM but ask Henry Surtees, Justin Wilson and Jules Bianchi's family if they would have cared what it looked like.. #Annoyed

    Lions Destroyed the "CSA Favourites" Cobras. Really good win. Both My Rugby and Cricket Lions teams are on their way up... Its about time, I have suffered years of abuse. Mgijima is actually a little bit more of a bowling all-rounder who can bat a little. His First Class (test type) batting average(25) is actually not too horrible but his List A(one day) batting average(11) and strike rate(62) is way sub par for someone sent in to bat 6 in a final. So yes a bit of a passenger. It's really sad because although CSA maintains that there are no official quotas (but it recommended that X amount is included) we often see guys like him playing when there are alot of tallent flying over to England, Europe and even these days Oz

    I must say the Proteas PR has really improved.. They are doing way more than in the past.. constantly releasing "Tour Diary" videos etc. As far as the video goes... The White okes look rediculous, the coloured and black boys look like they belong (there is nothing racist about what i just said okay)

    Rugby...

    With LambTjops and Pollard injured the next in line Fly Half for the Boks will have to be EJ. Under coach Ackers he is allowed to play his (Carlos Spencer induced) game. That stint at the Stormers (along with his father passing away) nearly killed his career because the Stormers did not want him to do what made him shine. He is the only #10 in SA that aggressively attcaks the line. Alot of the others seem to be scared to take contact.
