Tumbles, go to WC. As Thug says, your track record riding is a problem. Give the jozi2kozi to Clinton to ride in a Cow suit. That way you win, CHOC wins, Clinton wins, The Cows win. Only the medical fraternity will lose out.

Don't know him but wishing him all the best and a speedy recovery.

I have two little mutts (lab x ridgie and lab x rottie) and I use the word "two". If only one is being naughty and I say "two" that one immediately comes "in" (ie to in front of me). If they are both being naughty and I say "two" they both calm down, Sash coming to heel and Dayan coming in, or both going to where I point them to. Amazing what one silly word can do :-)

Love the name. A mentioned by others... Hang and store anything you need or like high. I have a lab x ridgie and even the Wendy house got chewed up :-) My other is a lab with a touch of rottie. Lab and lab crosses are such stunning woefs. Their lives revolve around loving people. You have an utter winner there :-)

Condolences to you and your family and all of his friends.

Damn, I forgot to organise a business trip :-( ;-)

I has lost the urge to actually watch the Tour the last couple of years. As this year unfolded I regretted not having made arrangements to be able to watch. Thankfully someone came to my rescue last minute for me to watch the final stage. Wow! Well done Froome! Well done Impey! Well done everyone. Next year I WILL make arrangements to watch more stages again, I think it will be an epic battle.

:'( Condolences to friends and family.

Wish I was watching this to see that... Following in letour site and here. This is the one month of the year I wish I had dstv or drifts or something

I hope Froome has an extra tobler one or two in his pockets... *edit... Hate this iPad and it's pathetic auto correct!

The vast majority of "accidents" are not truly accidents. They stem from a negligent act on the part of one or other party, usually the driver of the vehicle who "doesn't see" or "didn't know" or "didn't think" something. When they start being held accountable for this then the number or "accidents" will diminish.

1 - I am not your "brother" 2 - I have no clue who you are and clearly you don't know me, so you never have been nice to me. You can't stop being something you aren't

My guy can't make it. Hope the girl can get leave.

Oh no :-( Hopefully the infection has been caught in time and he recovers from that and continues to heal from the injury

Ricky, I will know later this evening if I have a potential partner for you (and as his own boss if he says he gets leave, he gets leave)

Go Ash, GO!

Unfortunately I don't have the moolah. I would also be wayyyy to slow for you. However, here is a free bump! Come on guys, Ricky is a really cool dude and whoever joins up with him is guaranteed to have a fabulous time!

Wyatt, I will hold thumbs that you get sorted out. I know what it's like to be too chilled... I was lenient for over 2 years about a motorbike. The last 6 months my calls were avoided by the culprit. Using other / hidden phone numbers would result in "hello hello" and the phone hung up as soon as I told the guy it was me. I also resorted to naming and shaming and then suddenly I got a response. I got the bike back just over a week later. I will hope that mr leach is faster than the culprit in my situation was in sorting you out. Being too nice is a recipe to be taken advantage of.

The only thing that the taxi driver is being erroneously accused of is "turning across the white line". Those markings in the photo are for no overtaking, so he was legally allowed to turn there (no crossing is a solid double line). What he did do that was illegal and also the direct cause of the crash and the reason we lost our hero was turning across the road when there was an oncoming road user (Burry). For that he must be prosecuted for reckless and negligent driving. Personally I feel that anyone who commits rec and neg resulting in another road users death should be automatically convicted of second degree murder (the one where it is not planned and premeditated).

This is why SA drivers are so bad. As long as it was "an accident" and "you didn't mean to kill/cause harm" you walk away with NO punishment, even if you were blatantly negligent. This whole approach of not taking accountability is what sucks. SA folk need to stop being negligent and the only way is to punish people who are negligent. Maybe not as severely as those who do things deliberately, but still punishment suffice try to teach them to stop being negligent. i.e. Sufficient punishment to make them learn to take accountability for their actions.

I am still convinced they snuck an engine into my bike somehow... Every single little bump around the cradle has halved in effort since I had my fit done.

Call Auto Clean in Linden (011 8884515). If they can't help they will know who can. I simply cannot commend them highly enough.

Hope the rider heals up soon and that the driver who hit him replaces his bike and helmet etc

Hmmm, I will be back on my zook marshalling these rides once a month or so... I DO ask the riders to move out the road... Hopefully the guys will start behaving again....
