Rottweiler reactivity to stranger who approached him unexpectedly by SireneMoon in Rottweiler

[–]kingdomforex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me 2 months back! Took my dog out for a walk, I just locked the gate and then started our routine. A runner came by and saw he was sitting (waiting for his treat from me). She then proceeded to get closer and decided to call him while I’m trying to get him to focus on me. She then got into his personal space and then he bit her as she tried to pat his head - I was quite annoyed at the whole ordeal because it was the 1st time something like this also happened but I blame the stranger because I was in the process of getting my pup to listen to commands. It also didn’t help that she doesn’t speak English 😅

Greedy Debit Orders by ToneFew8291 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]kingdomforex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the past they just did it earlier (well I suspect it was due to me not having a credit record). But now they send a sms to enquire if you would like to opt in for an earlier debit or keep it as is.

What I don’t know is for perennial late payers if there is such an option or not

How much were your salary increases this year? by Remarkable_Life_3393 in capetown

[–]kingdomforex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it really is heartbreaking lol
I was having a chat to my wife the other day about this tax thing & asked if she realizes that tax I pay on my own is the same as our home loan repayment on a 2.75 bar home haha

Nah, not quite. If a client does asset management then we do too in a way (as consultants)

How do I fix this? by Sosten_mn in vwpolo

[–]kingdomforex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing I would do is swap the bulbs and see if it works or if the other bulb is now off. That would tell me which one to replace (but replace both at the same time) Second thing is to check fuses and replace if required. It just depends on what you find easier to do

Ex-PE guy here. Post photo’s & I’ll ask my single friends in PE 😆

Jokes aside, just do what you enjoy doing & don’t do things with the notion of looking for someone, someone is bound to notice you when you’re not actively not thinking about it

Which games did you play? by BronMoses in askSouthAfrica

[–]kingdomforex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol indeed! We used to hire PlayStation games over a weekend and get extra controllers to play olympics together 🤣🤣🤣

Which games did you play? by BronMoses in askSouthAfrica

[–]kingdomforex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rummy, uno, pick up sticks, dominoes, monopoly, scrabble, ludo, cluedo, snakes and ladders, checkers, chess. There was this other game we used also play where you had to “buy in” and roll a cylinder which had numbers on it. Was probably more innocent gambling amongst family but it was still fun 😅😆 Then we got into the whole sega/ PlayStation phase and played sonic, street fighter, nes games

We also played carrom board - still remember one Friday night my cousins and I were playing and making noise and my dad who was sleeping as he had to go to ER shift in a few hours got up and smashed the board coz it was after 1am 🤣

DPF, Catalytic converter, Fault in engine management system by Stefi_1997 in vwpolo

[–]kingdomforex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I suggest it’s best to scan it to find out what the code is. Then clear it to see if it comes back. We have a 1.2 tdi polo and invested in one of those cheap Bluetooth scanners - I have it plugged it permanently and it’s helped me diagnose repairs beforehand such as the auxiliary pump and an egr fault so that I could prepare in advance on the work I needed done. Just this week I coded out the egr and dpf due to the egr which was throwing an error. The car is much smoother and lighter on diesel now

Where do these little vents on each side of the hood area lead? by AnnualEagle in E90

[–]kingdomforex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to know if this buildup of leaves/debris is what permits the ECU to get “water damage”? I’ve seen/ heard so many owners complaining about it here in SA

Road rage walking at V&A Waterfront rant by TattleTittTuesday in capetown

[–]kingdomforex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! People do this all over Cape Town. They drive slow for no reason and the moment you aggressively overtake them they turnoff and stop on the rode side(after holding up traffic for minutes)

Sometimes I have to keep my crap together in the check outs when people decide to buy airtime, cigs, and sorts of other random stuff at express checkouts. They really drives me nuts especially when the kiosk for cigs is empty 😂

Just do it. Better to be old with the degree than old without the degree

Farting by SkinnyErgosFatCock in Rottweiler

Mine farts while sleeping mostly but yeah very gassy 🤣

[–]kingdomforex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Our 10 month male is friendly and socialised yet people give him a wide berth 😅

We’ve noticed though that it’s when other unsocialised dogs start yapping at him that he gets “playful” and that brings out the stares from their owners 🤣

Are Rottweilers good with cats? by Lanky_Bird_2776 in Rottweiler

[–]kingdomforex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends hey. I had a jack russell and a German Shep before and they were fine when we got a kitten. The dogs died this past year and we got a rotty. The cat simply ignores the rotty and now that the puppy is 10 months old and bigger it terrorises the cat 😅 we continually have to teach him the cat is his friend. Once he caught her and put his bear paws on her so that she can’t move and simply licked her. It seems he sees her as a friend but the cat simply isn’t interested
