Just finished watching “the spy” on Netflix with sacha baron cohen and it was flippen brilliant. Excellent story and excellent acting. https://youtu.be/5UijUOy0MmE' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'> https://youtu.be/5UijUOy0MmE

We were initially as I had family there willing to sponsor and offer jobs etc but the more I looked into it the more I knew it wasn't for me. Primarily lifestyle driven we have just started the process for New Zealand which is just a much better fit for my family.

Modern day relationship advice: find someone who likes to watch the same shows/movies as you do. They should have a sub-category on tinder for that.

Had to go in to SARS on the 12th to update banking details (after completing return already online) ... money finally in the bank on 31st July

Either last night or this this morning in blouberg apparently (dont quote me on this)...“Hiers n vet fokkop!” https://youtu.be/Z3BJm4yA698 Really the last thing you want to have happen to you! I feel for this family.

Its hard to believe that this is in the middle of the city suburbs... feels a world away. Also that I can do it during my lunch hour... a very nice way to break a long tedious day in front of a computer screen.

Im wondering what gives... did my return on the 28th and still no payment from SARS. My bank details changed since last return and I updated them before submitting and SARS hasn't asked for any separate verification. Anybody else in this situation?

Mine shows the same... filed mine on the 28th when it was still the old system. Last year it took 48hrs, this year its a week and still counting.

This is what im most grateful for... and very grateful I am indeed... as most of us know that any encounter with a car has the potential to end really badly. As frustrating as it is I am very happy to be fixing a wheel rather than broken bones.

Okay... not my finest moment or a great way to start the day. So this morning on my commute in to work I got hit by a car. Despite wearing a high-vis jacket and being lit up and following a car around a circle in a dedicated cycle lane, this mornings motorist didnt want to stop entering the circle and hit me from the side/rear trying to squeeze behind the car I was following around the circle. She claimed the sun was in her eyes and didnt see me. Im fine albeit slightly shook up and I did a bike check while she was there and my bike seemed fine at the time as well. So I said its fine in not the happiest tone and we went our ways. Except I now notice my rim is slighly bent and my hub has got some very minor play. This topic is called... Things Ive learnt while Commuting. Today I have learnt that even if you are in shock and everything seems okay. Get the persons details (I did not for which I am an Idiot) because now I have to try and get my rear wheel fixed on the only bike I own and I definitely do not have the budget to do this at the moment . FFS.

Ive made this mistake too! As much as it was fun pimping out a bike for your kiddo as a holiday project, it certainly was not a cost saving exercise!

Both. Either way they will get laid.

Those cars are for stoners.

Dropped a mail to Ryder who replied soon after saying they put me onto the warranty department at Omnico. Call 5 mins later from Omnico and all sorted. Credit where credits due... great service.

I saw that when I was looking for the spec of it... I got it at bike addict so I rather decided to mail ryder directly... figured that might be much quicker than trying through BA.

I wonder if any of you know... Many pages back the ryder rear light was recommended on here as a firm favourite of commuters. I got myself one and yes its great. One problem I have noticed and Im wondering if any of you have had similar issues. So it came fully charged and I like to use it until the battery runs out before fully charging it again (in the vague hope of extending battery life). So it eventually runs down so that it only lights up for about 30sec before switching off. Great. Plug it in and let it charge for a couple hours. Its fully charged now but it no longer flashes... the rear light is now just permanently on. I tried pressing the switch to change functions and it just goes to about three settings of brightness and then back to dim but all steady on/static with no flashing/strobe effect at all. Anybody else have this issue... this was my first time charging the thing. https://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights/super-cob-usb-light-detail

This is pure gold today with all the funnies!

Does anyone know if STARZ channel is available in SA? I see its listed on my appleTV but when I try to subscribe for the test period on the net it says its not available outside the US.

Reminds me of that old Nandos Ad where you have to keep the Toilet Paper in the freezer!
