Swap = American word. Swop = British version. In this case it should be swop seeing she is said to be English.

My daughter lived in Dubai. She visited me & I paid for her root canal work done by my dentist as a little gift to her. I had my cataracts done. Specialist would not do them both at the same time. 10 min operation at R20 000 each. Large part of that was the eye hospital charges - for what?

Sorry, but to me those 4 spots look like Kuils River bling to me. Two would be ok.

PB I have some. Brilliant. Even the green handled Pozidrive is better than the rest. https://www.pbswisstools.com/en/tools/quality-hand-tools/screwdrivers/overview

Its because they are such nice little bikes for riding gravel roads & tracks & sand.

Those stickers make a big difference.

I liked what was said about the abilities of motor mechanics in Cuba. They have kept those 50's American cars going all these years. Must be really top notch mechanics. MZ developed the expansion tuned 2-stroke exhausts & the disk valve. They were winning races. Ernst Degner, their rider...

Hell he was a nice guy.

I have a nectar feeder. White-eyes use it most. My wife was away & I was buying heat & cook food at Woolies. I needed sugar for the feeder so bought it there. With that sugar had white-eyes all the time, bulbul & fork tailed drongo regularly & lesser double collared & black (aka velvet?)...

I like that glue bottle. JB Weld is an inferior copy of Pratley Putty is it not? Americans swear by JB without being aware of the real thing.

It must have been a very small quantity. We could not smell it. But the ammonia you could smell in the smallest quantities. AECI was pretty safety conscious but we were not alerted to the HF. I was in the PVC section; HF was in chemicals so another section over the road. Up the road was the...

I worked at AECI in Sasolburg. My office was over the road from the hydrofluoric acid plant. Most of our windows had Perspex in them. The glass ones were obvious because the HF had "frosted" them all so you could not see through them. We had a really low temp refrigeration plant (-40°C) that...

You bought into a downmarket neighborhood. That looks pretty smart. What happened?

I have a pair visit me in Green Point. According to my old Newman it is out of its normal range. Range ends around Bredarsdorp or Hermanus. Called Black sunbird in Newman.

Private enterprise resulting in a nice long train. I was interested to see the two containers stacked one on top of the other. The bottom one fits down between to side beams of the wagon so the bottom is just above the tracks. Kumba is having big issues with Transnet not getting its iron ore to...

I remember that big tree that you had to get a contractor in to take down - with money that you really did not have. That was a wise move - imagine where you would be if it had still been there & a big branch from it had fallen on the roof of the house.

What a story. $140 taxi ride to cross the street.

I know there is a big commercial printer in Caledon. I have a 3D printer & can print it for you in PETG (which will be fine). I don't have ABS (which is what many would recommend). PLA is unsuitable for use in sun. I also have PC (polycarbonate & even carbon fibre filled PC) but I have not...

"Finally, just after 5pm we get it figured out. Turns out his well is too shallow, and the well pipe is sucking air when the pump runs. So I "choked" a valve that I installed down a bunch, forcing the pump to draw less water from the well, so that the well (borehole) can keep up with the...
