    SA 2024 Election and the Rand

    I'm optimistic that there will be a huge change in our politics this year that will cause the Rand to increase in value dramatically. Going by the Big Mac index alone we should be around R10:$ or better. What's your outlook?

    Decaf Coffee

    Anyone drink it? I switched about ten years ago when I became caffeine sensitive. Don’t enjoy the feeling at all. But a bit tired of the boring choices I have.

    AV Receiver

    My Yamaha RX-V577 AV receiver packed up. I need a replacement. There doesn't seem to be any cheap models, starts on specials at R8,000. Those models have more than enough features for me but the Denon at R10,000 is way more future proof. The Yamaha has AM/FM and the Denon does not. Options so...
