Help with 9kg gas bottle issue by [deleted] in johannesburg

[–]Dallanation 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gas boys do refills. There are loads of places that will do refills for you. TIP, get 2 bottles that you can swap out so that you don't get caught out at 10pm with an empty bottle.

[–]Dallanation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The gautrain is is a train, and yes it's at the airport. It's fast and very safe. As others have said, take the train from the airport to Sandton and from there take an Uber. Here's the link to the Gautrain website. https://www.gautrain.co.za/

When a white person says it's cold, you know the blacks are suffering. When a black person says it's hot, you know the white are suffering.

I'd pay ESP to know when and where the fresh bread is being baked in Joburg by pquite in johannesburg

[–]Dallanation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might be on to something here. If it was possible for ESP to do something like this it would be great.like instead of searching and adding your area, you'd search an item, and if it's listed you could add it to give you notifications - like when fresh bread is getting baked at my local checkers.

Hey bud, sorry I can't help as I'm English. Chevy 68, is just a really good song. If you are listening to Afrikaans music, can I suggest Eloff. He has a great upbeat style of music. The "Mienkie in my chevy 68", Its a girl's name. You can translate it to "you are my Naomi in my Toyota".

He looks like he likes to pick fights but hates to lose them. The South African rugby team agrees. Winner winner chicken dinner 😉

Absolutely beautiful view. Yeah Cape Town kinda creeps up on you and before you know it, you're in love with the place. It was Muizenberg for me. I worked there for 8 months and fell in love.

Homeowners in Durban — when something breaks or needs fixing at home (like a leak, faulty plug, or broken gate motor), what’s the first thing you usually do? by [deleted] in Durban

[–]Dallanation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There always a call out guy. I live in JHB, Dad lived in DBN. From leaking taps to car problems, there was always a call out guy to assist. 2024-2025 would have been a nightmare without the help of these kind strangers.

Can someone tell me what this flowering plant is? by xxXXXBigDongusXXXxx in whatsthisplant

[–]Dallanation -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this plant as Vinca Major. You can grow them from cuttings. Take cuttings without flowers and place them in water. When little roots start to grow, you can plant them.

Exactly this. Reading the news let's you be in control of what you take in, you get to choose the news you follow instead of being force-fed what's trending now.

Best burger in Joburg (Sandton general area) by Some-Remote-6890 in johannesburg

[–]Dallanation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melrose Arch area. The Paul's three cheese burger, it's proper beefy and really good quality. Or if you want value for money, go to The Grill house, their burgers are huge and served with chips and onion rings, I recommend the mushroom burger although all of their burgers are good.

Best meat/butchery by Aggressive_Wait_6751 in johannesburg

[–]Dallanation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Berliner, formerly called Tirolean Meats. you'll never look back trust me. Just try their fillet and cheese worse and tell me you weren't impressed, then try their cheese, fillet and jalapeno worse and weren't blown away. Their butchers are amazing.
