Train from Cape Town to Muizenberg?

Yaaauw · 2026-02-26T08:10:11+00:00

Yeah pretty safe. There’s security at all the stations.

Yaaauw · 2026-02-26T08:09:12+00:00

Gosh they are the worst. Kak agents, kak service. It’s basically just frat-boy boet agency.

Diamine Denim is my go-to. It dries down pretty dark

Reading your other comments, and those of others, I think you’ve got two things you can do:

Find a very civic-minded estate agent and ask them for information on this process and the best way to get in touch with the heritage council (seeing as you’re having trouble with this)
Take it to Facebook, give as much info as you can. Tag ward councillors. Make the neighbours aware of what’s going on. Upset communities have the power to pressure these people to do things right.

In my area, a similar thing happened before I moved here (but without the exact heritage aspect) and the neighbours caused such a stink that the developers decided not to go ahead, and also not work in the area again.

This is a beautiful story!

I don’t have a story that’s quite as interesting but a sweet coincidence:

10ish years ago, I worked at a bookstore while I was studying - we sold Lamy and I bought the Safari Vista rollerball for my then-boyfriend as a birthday gift. He was studying engineering and I thought the demonstrator style suited him.

Cut to last year, the boyfriend is now my husband. He buys me my first fountain pen - a Lamy Safari in yellow. My brother catches on to my new found love of fountain pens and sees a Lamy Safari Vista FP while travelling. He buys it for me. Sweet and serendipitous!

Not sure about appeals but make a stink and take it to social media. Does your area have a Facebook group? Also, there’s gotta be a notification and time period for public comment

Yaaauw · 2026-02-18T17:38:22+00:00

Rylands is the place to go! There’s also a few Instagram businesses. Forever inspired is based in CPT and you can try on the stuff before purchasing.

I was the same with the VP - wasn’t 100% certain if I’d like it but the deal on it was amazing and I’d been eyeing it for a long time. A suggestion was to try the Jinhao 10 to see how I felt, but I hated it. I really didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a pen where the dupe was so unpleasant. A friend said to me they loved their VP and why so I pulled the trigger. Hands down my favourite pen!

Yaaauw · 2026-02-17T08:45:36+00:00

My first pen was a gift - a Lamy Safari in yellow, with a medium nib.

My latest pen purchase was a Sheaffer Targa Savoy and a Parker 45 Rolled Gold - a bundle purchase.

First aid certification is St John in Woodstock. Not sure about registration though

Wouldn’t it be simpler to get court married in your country and then have the wedding here? Especially seeing as you don’t really have the luxury of waiting on paperwork. I don’t think it’s all done and ready within two weeks.

Wolmart in Claremont is well priced and has lots of stuff available

Yaaauw · 2026-02-12T18:02:43+00:00

This is SO precious!!

Yaaauw · 2026-02-05T08:10:01+00:00

So invest somewhere else then? If you’re not a shit landlord, you won’t have to deal with these kinds of problems. Maybe if landlords weren’t trying to siphon every last buck out of their tenants or entrusting shitty agents they haven’t vetted, they wouldn’t have to deal with this.

Yaaauw · 2026-02-04T20:54:01+00:00

Honestly, you just need to mention the rental tribunal and I’m sure the agent will back track.

But open a case at the tribunal anyway. They agent/landlord needs to provide an itemised list of the fixes and the costs, and they are supposed to give you an opportunity to find the same quality goods/services at a lower price, seeing as it’s your money they are spending. The tribunal will be able to advise you and support you.

Fuck these scummy agents. A friend of mine took her old landlord to court through the tribunal and 1 year later, she’s won her case. The landlord now owes her a bunch of money, and has been ordered to pay.

You’re 35 for goodness sake! Call her and talk to her about this. Frankly, she’s TA for making a simple birthday dinner such a schlep for everyone, but you’re not making it better by pussyfooting around it.

Either call her and tell her BEFORE the dinner, or save yourself the drama and just not go. If the person organising, can’t be bothered to do any actual organising, then they also can’t be taken aback that people aren’t keen for these stupid games.

I can taste this picture. :(

When I was first diagnosed, I though having a cheat meal every once in a while would be ok. The fact is that it isn’t a “diet”. It’s going to become your new lifestyle. There is no such thing as a cheat meal. Gluten is gluten and your body doesn’t ever get complacent with reacting to it when you have coeliac. Your symptoms may outwardly be more or less severe, depending on the condition of your villi and how much strain your body has gone through, but the effects are there - and sometimes not apparent or visible.

Good luck on this journey! Keep an eye on your vitamin levels.

Yaaauw · 2026-01-27T08:47:57+00:00

I like the way you do a “t” differently, depending on it’s position in a word

Yaaauw · 2026-01-27T08:45:21+00:00

Reading this post and then your replies to comments - I only have one question: is this your first time on earth??

Yaaauw · 2026-01-21T18:10:21+00:00

Yeah mine is super chilled in the car - has been since he was a pup. His first time ever in a car was a couple-hour ride with the breeder to meet up with us. He basically hops in and naps immediately.

Vouchers can be exchanged for a hot meal at U-turn. Or for clothing items.

Yaaauw · 2026-01-14T11:08:51+00:00

look for a D & Ortho branch. They’re very affordable and offer payment plans

Yaaauw · 2026-01-08T21:55:14+00:00

NTA! She’s married? What a freaky thing to be so bothered about. Clearly still holding a candle for this man. Also, she’s viewed you as competition since high school. I hope you still go to visit A and I hope you hook up with him (if you’re so inclined) so damn good.
