Karoo Cattle and Land

Recently my other half and I decided to eat out at a new mall that opened north of Randjiesfontein in Midrand. The mall is called “Grey Owl Village” and said restaurant “Karoo Cattle and Land”
As we had not decided at which restaurant to eat yet, we asked if we could peruse the menu. Although classic [...]

Got a call from 08-7373-7765?

Howdy all
I have for the last week been plagued by incessant calls from the following number. Mostly between 2 and 4 am! Damnation! When you answer, the call is cut.
So, being extremely fed up I checked it out on the web. Lo and behold, there is a plethora of angry people out there that have [...]

protect yourself.
The scam works like [...]

Yamaha Silent Guitar (Acoustic)

I first encoumtered the Yamaha Silent Guitar at Music Connection in JHB in October 2005. My first impression was that of shock. A complete “What the …..” moment.

Namibia Holiday Review

Not having a grand budget, economic recession and all…We decided that this year’s holiday destination would be closer to home vs. a trip to Europe. So, my other half and I opted to go to Namibia. In the initial study, the pictures of scenery were appealing and it seemed like a different thing to do. [...]
