Anyone here ever use one of these toenail clippers?

I do, I have fairly tough nails and even after soaking they are difficult to cut.
Since I got that type I can't even think of using anything else, those clippers just make it easy.

Doctor’s orders, no more curved short big toe nails. They must grow longer and be cut straight. Or else risk another ingrown toe nail and the R1,500 to fix it.

I was being silly with the notion of you cutting your toe rather than your toenail.

That must have been painful.. working for Satan's spawn

They never cancelled my free Showmax, so that's OK. Not that I watch Showmax, but my kids do. I probably still have free DSTV, but I do not have a set-top box or any interest in watching it.

In the software dept, it was not really Satan's spawn, there were a bunch of cool people. doing pretty cool stuff. Management, on the other hand was not.

@EADC did you know about this?

Good news for voting from outside South Africa

For the first time ever, South Africans living within and outside their birth country’s borders can register to vote online in a national election.

Helluva boss was good. With this the music sometimes gets a bit much but so far I'm entertained. Unlike the show's hardcore fans the show itself is actually really good.

I like this song though:

Yes I did actually see it, I have not don't it yet.

I actually looked into it earlier in the year.

I know they did something at the consulate as well but I missed that one.

But thanks for the reminder I need to do it.

Spread the word. If all expats can vote online then it will have an influence this year!

 

[EADC]

I will definitely try, but I tend to avoid other Saffa expats can be a miserable bunch

Oh, I'm sure, lol.

 

[EADC]

I'm probably being harsh, but I also didn't leave South Africa to find other South Africans kinda defeats the point.

I understand that you get suburbs in Perth which are dominant Saffers?

How many of the MyBB posters are still in SA?

So yeah I get it.

That depends if expats care about SA, my friends and family overseas all say SA can go get bent and fuck the ANC

Lemons are not man-made; they're a natural hybrid of citrons and bitter oranges, resulting from centuries of plant evolution.

Although I am very partial to animated stuff in general, that particular show did not sit well with me. IDK, probably because of the implicit "furry fandom association vibe" I get. Either way I have preferences, I pretty much prefer things that either don't appeal to that subculture or things they don't have time or inclination to pervert.

 

[Sonikku]

I'm probably being harsh, but I also didn't leave South Africa to find other South Africans kinda defeats the point.

Yes, many people have told me that they chose to go work in places further afield in New Zealand, away from the usual "hotspots" like Wellington, because the places are full of old people, bitter and really upset about South Africa and will proceed every day to say something about how the ANC ruined the country. Yet most if not all have revoked their citizenship. They live boring and uninteresting lives because life is not really as idyllic as it is portrayed to be in NZ. There's a lot of problems there and things we take for granted in SA are hard to come by. New Zealand is about as interesting as a cardboard box- there's FUCK ALL to do there.

So instead of moaning about New Zealand, and/or admitting it was a mistake to leave SA in the first place, they will moan to anyone who listens.
The same thing happens in the hotspots in Perth too, lots of bitter, sour expatriates. That's why I don't go there anymore and told my family they can rather come and visit me and I just have to endure their moaning, and not that of Mrs Volschenk at her Perth coffee shop where she whines every day about "die k*****s het SA opgefok, fok Mandela, fok FW De Klerk" while the patrons don't understand a word she's saying.
