Two years already?? Bliksem, time has really gone by flipping quickly! I recall how i used to follow the thread (rather sporadically) for ages before i joined. Seems like only yesterday...
It's relatively cool here, Jmash, typical four-seasons-in-a-day stuff.
@Wanqa, ever given any thought to making your own boerewors or biltong? It shouldn't be too difficult, methinks...
The Gmail app is really good, been fiddling about with it since yesterday.

@ psychonymphe,
'Tis unfortunate indeed.
Places like Betwys-Y-Coed, not too far south of Conwy and Llandudno along the northern coast of Wales, are truly picturesque, to say the least.
Then again, they don't have a backdrop like Die Papegaaiberg like where you are. SA's natural beauty and warmer climes are sorely missed at times...
@ jmash,
I feel the cold alright; fortunately the central heating works so well in the houses that one could happily prance around 'kaalgat' in mid-Winter.
Outside is another story...I sometimes resemble the Oros Man with all the layers of clothing if we're out on the town or in the open markets during the coldest months.
And when those cold polar winds occasionally find their way down here, their extreme wind-chill factor have the inane ability to reduce one's manhood to a secondary belly button.
@ Kryptik,
Funnily enough, my very different brother, who wields his 30.06 and classic Lee Enfield .303 during hunting season, readily makes his own biltong and droewors from his 'prizes'.
I guess I could make my own, but I always seem to find time to do other things...maybe I should try; even if it's just to see the neighbours' reaction when they notice all the pieces of raw meat dangling from the ceiling in the shed...

When was the last time anybody heard anything of TahirAlly? I was reminded of his passionate support for Vodacom whilst i was half-listening to a conversation at the coffee shop earlier this evening; two guys were having an animated debate over which network was the better, Vodacom or MTN. As far as i could tell the Vodacom supporter either owns a Voda store or is a partner in one, whilst the MTN guy is one of the most successful independent cellphone store owners around(and who used to be the slowest thinker in a Math class which i taught way back in 91
which goes to show you that you don't always need to be the sharpest academic knife in the drawer to become a successful businessman).

@da krypsta: Tahir Ally is probably still following this thread but you'll find him posting at the myadsl.co.za forums and mostly in the Vodacom forum.

So i got the gmail thing working. that link did not work. sometimes google is too clever. when i found a link it said it might not work on my phone. nothing that tip of putting it on vodacom instead of vlive did not fix:)
a place where it is dark 3/4 of the time? sounds like heaven!lol! i love the dark. i feel so alive when it is dark:)
eventually watched Lord of War. wow! it is brilliant!

Good to hear that it's all sorted, Francois.
I've just watched the making of the Jackass 'Number 2' movie(what an appropriate name for their sequel
). Johnny Knoxville was knocked unconscious 3 times during the making of the 'film'. No surprises, I guess...
He came incredibly close to being skewered by a rampant bull's horns.
By the looks of things, Steve-O remains the most mentally deranged of them all though.

Right, how's this for an incentive to get the whole family onto the same network, by none other than the Big Red One:
(Taken from axxxr's post):
Vodafone Family.
Choose up to 3 other people to make up your family group and calls between all of you are unlimited.
Just one of you pays £5 (approx R70) a month and you can make as many calls as you like to each other (up to 60 minutes per call), at any time. It doesn’t matter if you’re a pay as you talk or a pay monthly customer, as long as the four of you are all on Vodafone.
If you need a larger group, no problem one person can pay £7 (approx R100) for unlimited calls between 6 people. you’ll never have to worry about your kids not being able to call you because they’ve run out of credit on their mobile.
________
Suddenly I like Vodafone a lot more.

my word! if they buy vodacom from telkom they better do that here as well! makes every south african offer of friends lists with cheaper calls look like some big joke:)
Vodacom definately did not give me the latest firmware last week. my phone now shows the progress bar when i copy between folders. never did that. only showed that it is doing something. i owe them a big
k@kuit and thank you:)

@Francois,You Feel Alive When It's Dark!
