I'm in quite a hurry to renew my passport that recently expired. After spending most of this week at Bellville home affairs and being showed away twice after queuing for 4 hours from 6am and also trying Atlantis where I was also told I would have to come back the next day I'm pretty fed up. I recently opened a Standard bank account, but also read that their Canal Walk home affairs branch doesn't get the best reviews. Does anyone have experience using this particular branch? Or any other home affair hacks or branches that will actually speed up the process or not be completely useless?
walked into a jewellery store in Tygervalley this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger blond at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $240,000 the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'by check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.'
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said 'There's no money in that account.'
'I know,' said the old man, 'But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!'
