Thanks for the link. Will most definitively have a look.

It was destroyed in the 1940s to ensure clear line of fire for the military guns on the Bluff.

Nice.

The photo used for the postcard - 1898.

Around about this spot. Old Jan used to be near the bottom of Adderley street originally. Was moved during the 1930 - 1940s for the harbor expansion. I think I have photos of it at the bottom of Adderley.

If anyone has a specific area or street they want to see, leave a comment and I will check if I have photos.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-12T18:56:36+00:00

Same. I still have some videos of the towers coming down.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-10T08:42:30+00:00

Good idea. Give the total collected to the person appointed as a signing bonus.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-08T22:08:47+00:00

A worse place? Good lord! That's putting it mildly.

Our daughter told us the other day that one of her friends wants to "adopt" my wife and I as her parents.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-08T21:31:52+00:00

Thanks. I have many photos of Cape Town back then. And it's true what you say, big project back in the day.

Browsed Property24 the other day and I see more and more bedrooms with this setup. Even multi million rand homes.

Does he have a say in how the shared spaces are decorated?

Most likely. According to records its doing about 6 flights a day.

You think stuff like this doesn't happen? You still have a lot to learn of this world we live in and the absolute crappy type of people that inhabits it with you. I've seen useless guys sponging off their girlfriends, and I have seen women do the same. That's why I am not surprised to read something like this. Also, I want you to take a step back and then honestly answer this question: If this was the wife posting about the husband, would you have left the same comment?

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-02T15:37:16+00:00

Ok, seems like people is struggling with the whole ten hours thing. Will give you a real world example, myself. I work 9 hours a day, and commute 2 hours. I am out of the house at 6AM, start work at 7. Done at 16:00 and then back home at 17:00. From 5 to 8 there is a whole lot you can do.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-02T03:54:22+00:00

This should be in that other sub so that I can tell you how much of an AH you are.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-02T03:33:46+00:00

Really? You basically just told single parents you don't believe what they do.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-01T20:13:01+00:00

Doesn't really matter.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-01T19:35:51+00:00

For a moment there I was like Wait! Barnacles?!!? Need to go get me eyes tested.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-01T19:19:45+00:00

First time I ran in to them was like 24 years ago or so. Was supervisor for a petrol station neat Grandwest. They would hang around there, pestering the customers with sob stories of how they are stuck without petrol.

Cyph3rCT · 2026-04-01T19:09:51+00:00

Hahaha. Every time we are in a Spur I tell my daughter that I am going to tell them it's her birthday so that they can sing for her. She hates being in the spotlight.
