So how's the weekend going, guys? It's been such a beautiful day here, and then true to form, once i had the braai-fire going nicely, the wind started gusting. Those coals are looking good though, meat and sosaties are all done, time to roast some mealies. Have a good one, all

@ Kryptik,
Ya, it's been quite a lekker day here, although the wind's keeping the temperatures lower than predicted.
Also braaing tonight, i.e. the usual Saturday night ritual. Boerewors, sosaties, roosterbrood...and the potato salad's ready in the kitchen. Nca.
Haven't done much today. Got a local financial adviser in this morning to organise us better, separate life insurance deals (it pays to do one's 'homework'..), bought the boerewors, faffed around the house, downloaded some music from mp3fiesta and that's about it.
Really chilled-out; just what I need after a hectic week at work.
You have a bril one too, boet. Enjoy those miiiieeeelies!

TeenInvader,what contract package are you on?A good yardstick for me is a Vodacom Top Up 135.Yes,in most cases you'll have to pay in a bit extra for the phone you want but you are limited to that 135 and then have the choice to recharge once reached.I use my phone for mostly internet and sms's so 135 plus maybe a 29.00 topup near the end of the month is quite sufficient.

I agree with Hobbs, for me the R135 contract would be quite sufficient as well, since i mostly use my airtime for gprs, and hardly make calls. Even sms usage is minimal (besides, mtn and vodacom so generously allow us to send sms from their sites, lol) It's really about how heavy one's usage is, i suppose.

Just took a mate to a PC market in Stratford, east London.
£200 (approx R2900) got us a brand new tower/base unit consisting of 160 gigs hard drive, 1 gig RAM, Intel Dual Core 1.8 Ghz processor, Gigabyte S2 series motherboard, and Windowski XP Prof plus Officeski etc etc.
Not too shabby...
@ Hobbster,
Just downloaded an entire album from mp3fiesta and no hassles here, boet.
Having said that, the very first day I tried to use the site, they had hassles with their server! Since then, it's been no probz. Maybe it was playing up again earlier today...?

 Rick Astley... LMAO. Nah, actually Jason Donovan... not! Hmmm, let's see if they've got Jurie Els... 
It was Demon Hunter's third album, called Triptych. The second song on the album, called 'Not I', is a nu-metal masterpiece.

That ain't shabby at all, Wanqa. A bit of techni-coloured dream-coat?
Hobbs, maybe the mp3fiesta site is suffering from FBJ-ism, i.e. because i-are-white, lol Only in Mzansi, my bru...

well i had 135 but ended up paying the average of 1K ... and whole thought of being locked in just kills me ...
Another thing that makes it hard to control my account is the billing system they use...
calls for this month get bill at the end of the following month ... so if you control you usage this month you'll only feel the releif end if next month ...
Now i have a talk 120 iinly a year old ... i'm not renewing it at the end of the deal too ... maybe i'll change my mind ...

Talk 120 - R315/month 120 Anytime time free minutes and no free SMS's.
Any paticular reason you chose that horrid package other than you like making calls on your phone?
At the end of the month you are going to be billed for sms's sent and data used.Insane.I stay far away from free minutes and sms packages.They are designed to rip holes in your pockets.
Why not go for a Family Top Up 315.Same price but at least you have some control.Like once you reach 315 you stop and suffer till the end of the month.That makes sense to me.

@ Teeinvader I have top up 315, it works great coz i buy a 250 or 500 mb data bundle and the rest is for calls, I easily get out with the rest
