Standard Bank is the most useless bank out of the lot we have here in South Africa. I don’t know if they are actually worldwide. I sure hope not, because their services are just so… standard. Not like certain other banks I know… *cough*FNB*cough*.Standard Bank must have the worst service and customer relations I have [...]

There is a new pub in PE (Port Elizabeth, South Africa). It’s called Balizza. Situated in Heugh Road in Walmer on Times Square we found the decor to be very stylish and attractive. Balizza is an italian fashion related name. Come to think of it, maybe that was the reason for Fashion TV on all [...]

There are boxes everywhere, builders, painters, you name [...]
As I’ve mentioned before I spoilt myself with a new laptop for Christmas. This was also my first step into the world of Windows Vista.
I’ve got a Motorola RAZR V3x. I’m not one for fancy phones. I have a nice camera, thank you Sony!
Anyway, the reason for getting this phone was mainly because of it’s [...]
