Just having watched the news and hearing about the 24.8% price hike, as of April this year, feels like a bit of a stab to the heart. Yes, living in a small home, this only means an increase of R80 per month for me, but what about people who can’t even afford to put food [...]
Cape Town is a great place. We all know that. I just returned from a nice long holiday there. Cape Town has always struck me as a beautiful place with the mountains and the peninsula. In the past I never had an opportunity to stay over for long. I was always just in and out [...]
I don’t know what it is like in other parts of South Africa, or even the world, but here in Port Elizabeth it seems people have no idea how a traffic circle works.
People this is not a 4 way stop! It does not work like a traffic light either. And NO, it is not first [...]
We went down to Oudtshoorn the weekend. Phew is it hot down there! Anyway, on Saturday night after making good with the family and a huge braai and everyone ended up in the pool we decided to head out. The first thing on everyone’s lips was, Lemon ‘n Lime.
We weren’t sure what to expect. No [...]

Last Saturday we went to see DJ Fletcher from African Dope Records at Gondwana Cafe.

From Drum & Bass, through to dub and funk, [...]
On Friday night we were entertained by Draining Patience at the Full Stop pub & grill in Cape St Francis. Even though they started performing a bit later, they still rocked the place.Unfortunately our winter residency is not too great but the people that were there sure made enough noise to make up for the [...]
On 21 June I went to Cape Town to go see Howard Marks, aka Mr Nice. During the 80’s Howard Marks had 43 aliases, 89 phone lines and 25 companies trading throughout the world.He came to South Africa to promote his latest book, titled, Senor Nice. Years ago I was introduced to Howard Marks through [...]
Last night we just didn’t feel like cooking so we decided to go to the Chokka Block Restaurant in Port St Francis. Definitely worthwhile. If you are ever in St Francis I would definitely suggest this restaurant.We were surpised to see the place quite full. We booked a table beforehand so there was no waiting. [...]

Phone them, no I have to cancel the debit order it doesn’t stop just because no money is owed.
Hallo!! Anybody out there? Standard Bank [...]
