I’m not sure if you know this, but the Mount Nelson Hotel (or, the Nellie, as we like to call her) likes to reward South Africans for the hard work of living in such a beautiful country by offering specials that apply to SA residents, only. And they’re a flipping steal.
Nymphomania, for those of you who do not know, does not specifically refer to the insane and uncontrollable desire for sex. It’s quite gender-specific actually.

While the SAPS and local crime watch initiatives are trying to combat this, crime is still a prominent issue in South Africa.
Hello ladies. Winter is coming, and you’re digging your coats out from the back of the cupboard. But you’ve noticed something – over the course of the summer you seem to have picked up a few extra garments, and now you’re in a bind with space. Double problem: you don’t want to give any of your stuff away to make room. So what do you do?
Tomorrow is a public holiday, which means that you may well be treating tonight as a Friday. Which is to say, you might not be treating it very well. For goodness-sake, the new phone that you forked out for barely has the protective film off the screen, and already you’re flirting with the idea of smashing it on the bar floor. Don’t be that friend that other friends can “only contact through Facebook for now.”
Here’s a pretty cool new schoolboy rugby highlights show, based of Facebook, but also available on Youtube for those who don’t book faces.

Do you know what the petrol price is in Cape Town? It’s R13.98 per litre. Do you know what the petrol price is in Jo’burg? R14.39. The consider this: we have no control over the oil price, which is set in dollars, and the Rand to dollar exchange rate stinks worse than a day-three Afrika Burn attendee. Quick heads up: petrol isn’t getting any cheaper, any time soon.
Microsoft is known to have made some of the best Windows phone operating systems and of course their office tools are still pretty badass.
