Oops, my apologies. Don't know how I missed this. Much appreciated adie.

Good day folks I have a Sony STR-V5 that needs some repair work. The UV meters barely work, the left channel drops out now and then unless you crank it and the bulb need replacement (LEDs would probably be best). Also the volime knob seems to be coming loose. I had a fellow called Pirakash...

Thanks for the offer Timbaland. I can currently get the Shield Pro (2019) on amazon for about R4500 shipped with tax and all with the current exchange rate. I see this other bloke asks R6200. I ordered something from Amazon the other day that took about 9 days to get here. I see they have...

Thanks a lot for all the help folks. I've read all the comments and information and I appreciate it. It answered a lot of my questions. One of the awesome members here reached out to me privately and invited me to have a look at his Nvidia Shield Pro and his setup and showed me all the ins...

Thanks a bunch WGS, I appreciate the info. The stripped down audio doesn't really bother me all that much. I'm more after the picture quality. If the Shield can play those 100GB files with no issues, I'm good. So, just to make 100% sure...all that I need is a travel adapter like the one in your...

Good day there folks. I'm looking for a new media player, specifically to play the big 4K files, the 66GB and 100GB boys. I've had a Mede8er for a long time but it just isn't up to snuff anymore for what I need. I have a Samsung 65" Q7F. It has a box which contains the connections and power...

I am very much looking forward to The King's Man. I really enjoyed the first one (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and seeing the origin story that's a bit more gritty should be really cool. Also Top Gun: Maverick...probably a tie beween those two. I think it's going to be a good year for...

Much appreciated raj. I stocked up BIG time with this special  :rubhands: There is a special on at Makro for Talisker 10 (with 2 glasses) for R499. Not a fan myself but very good price indeed.

Yeah, don't worry Orca44, there will be pleeeeeenty more with the same issue we are having. I was actually relieved to see your post. I get your annoyance. PLUS, now I can't make calls or send sms anymore. I just called 141 and they say they are experiencing technical difficulties. I will wait...

I'm in the same boat as you. I got EXACTLY the same messages and in the same order this morning as well. I also have a boat load full of airtime and there is NO WAY I used it all up. I tried to call their number to see how much airtime, data etc I have left and I cannot get through. I can...

Shonver, Bain's is a great whisky to start off with (I always have a bottle on hand), especially if you like the lighter and sweeter ones. All grain whiskies tend to be like that. I warn you though, the whisky slope is a slippery one. I also think that you will enjoy Monkey Shoulder especially...

My friend bought a bottle a few months ago and was nice enough to share a couple of drams of it with me. It?s definitely on the sweeter side with a lot of caramel notes. It's quite dark and musty. Certainly unique. I would give it a go especially if it?s on special (he got it it for R350). This...

I managed to snag a bottle when the they still had stock. I went back 2 days later for something else and all the stock was gone. There were about 15 bottles left when I bought mine. I saw they had Jameson Select Reserve on special for R299. I bought a bottle to try and it's quite tasty. Are...

First Whisky post of 2016 I see :) Don't know if anyone is interested seeing as it's not the most special single malt. The Pick n Pay in Somerset West main road across from Checkers is selling Glenfiddich 12 yo single malt for R308 a bottle (it usually sells in the R440 region).

I know, I know. When you hear cocktail, you think about pretty pink drinks with umbrellas and pieces of fruit in them. Of course a certain one that you enjoy when "Getting caught in the rain" comes to mind  ;D BUT It doesn't have to be like that though. So please fell free share some of the...

Thanks BWS. I will give these guys a try over the next few months. I have had the Glen Grant before but remember it being a tad harsh (I assume because of the young age) but it has been a long time and many bottles of whisky ago (the palate develops after all). I will give it another try. I have...

Well, I would hardly say it was unpalatable, it was just not that amazing. Of course, the whole whisky business is subjective but if you've just spent R280 on a bottle that tastes so-so and all it needs is that to make it taste a whole lot better (and unlocks its true potential), I'm open to...

I totally agree about the Ballantines 12 year old (I currently have 2 bottles, one half empty  ;D ). I tasted it the first time at Whisky Live in Cape Town earlier in June and just had to have some. It is my second favorite blended whisky after OLD Black Bottle. A good blended/vatted Malt...

That is a damn steal!  :drool: If it was here I would have bought every last bottle  :walled:  I've been looking all around here in the Pick n Pays liquor stores, not a single original Black Bottle in sight. I loved the old blend, as kamikazi said, it has a hefty portion of islay malt in it (I'm...

Wow, that's a tasty looking piece of meat shadow.clone :drool: I love smoking in my Weber, I was also surprised at how easy it was the first time I did it. It really is hard to botch a piece if meat when you smoke it. I just wish mine had a thermometer like yours  :Ooooooh: The hickory is my...
