Hi All I can't seem to find that thread dedicated to hubbers offering and seeking work, so posting this one. Anyway, two IT positions available: 1. DB2 DBA - contract 2. Delphi 7 developer - Permanent, up to R50k but you gonna have to be damn good. PM me if you fit the requirements and are looking. Regards Craig PS, if you have to ask what the acronym is, you not suited

I avoid sex the night before a race otherwise my ass is too sore to sit properly

Any room to loose weight? I climb crap because I am 5kg's overweight.

Sounds like I should just knock 'em both straight

My rotor got mysteriously bent the one day after my kids had been playing with the bike. It is more of a wobble than a bend so it is not too serious, although the squeak squeak squeak is a bit annoying while riding (but on the other hand the resistance training is fantastic ). Any suggestions of a quick fix getting it straight again?

So are you looking for a date or some kind of a relationship or something? Maybe just Bike pals, Activity partners, Friends, Short-term, Open to possibilities, Long-term, Marriage?

Err, sorry, that is how you interpreted what I said. What I am saying is that South African drivers have total disregard for fellow road users, whether they are bicycles or otherwise. They generally are always speeding (except Cape Town where they generally drive like they are looking for parking ) and flagrantly disobey road rules. Drunk driving, using cell phones, not concentrating, disobeying road rules, yellow lining, speeding and bad attitude contribute overwhelmingly towards road accidents, and sadly this is becoming our culture, a culture of disobedience. The unfortunate thing is when there is an accident involving a cyclist the chances are it is fatal for the cyclist (or pedestrian for that matter a la Jub Jub and co). With this in mind, additional consideration, care and caution should be given to the cyclist/pedestrian. But in SA it seems the opposite, this thread being a perfect example. So, to misquote slowpoke, the attitude of our drivers seems to be ?if you are bigger than me then I yield, if you are smaller than me then I just don?t give a f**k?. The numerous cyclist related deaths recently and now the profoundly sad loss of Adam Reyneke has made me angry towards motorists, however, I have upped my meds and vented my anger on this thread, so I feel much better now. Thank you.

This NASA person is a real Space Cadette

Where's JB, he might have an idea. It looks like your nipples are starting to corrode though Could it not be plain old alu corrosion tarnish?

Sharp man

You are Afrikaans so I will forgive you for confusing the words arrogance with anger. There is no arrogance in my postings, just anger. Anger at the number of cyclists dying on our roads. Anger at this woman thinking she didn't do anything wrong and that putting a cyclist in a life threatening situation was justified. I'm fully endorse the cyclist behavior, maybe this woman will catch a wake up so we can ride our bikes on the road without the fear of dying!

To quote zigies wife "I moved over half way into the middle lane at which time I recall passing two of the riders, however a taxi indicated to move into this shared lane and with a taxi in front of me I had no choice but to move back into the far left lane passing the cyclist or facing the taxi" and to quote slowpoke "as a cyclist and a biker i have learnt that the average SA driver only considers vehicles bigger or with more wheels than theirs as having any rights on the road" It is quite apparent that slowpoke knows what she is talking about here as we can clearly deduce that the taxi is bigger than the cyclist and hence due protocol is to endanger the cyclists life! Does your car not come with brakes? Or are they just too much of a damned inconvenient to you? Rather kill the cyclist than put on brakes hey? Methinks you may have got what you deserve!

Sias, I am saying that with tongue in cheek but just maybe the sh*t should hit the fan, maybe the whites should retaliate. How many more farmers need to be slaughtered before something is done? Violence begets violence. Maybe its bra Jules' turn to beget a bit of violence.

Actually there are always three sides to a story. Your version, their version and the truth. I don't believe anyone will behave in such a way 'just because'. Perhaps your wife was not looking and turned in front of him almost taking him out, in which case I would also bang on her window so that she would catch a wake up.

A black man calling a white man a 'boer' is the same a white man calling a black man a 'kaffir'. The racial connotations are identical. Unfortunately Bra Jules is leading by example. Killing Eugene is open season on treating farm 'kaffirs' like sh*t. Enjoy the suffering black man, if you want more, just vote for Jules. Remember, reconciliation is a two way street!

I can't comment on the locals, but my suppliers are usually Nigerian with a strict COD policy

I felt the same way about it as you do until the Polar techie explained to me why they prefer to do it. It is a very sensitive instrument and bricklayer hands like mine could damage something if it is not done with the delicacy and care of a brain surgeons hands. My pliers, screwdriver and hammer are not really considered jewelers tools which could result in damage to the altimeter and seals etc. So I listen to the techies. By the way, have you ever tried to buy a Polar battery?

The motorbiker is just back in his crack. Clever word play dude

My mum worked at the docks. Maybe you're my Dad?

I volunteer driving the bus

Pray that God gives you guidance in making this tough decision!
