You should do the whole thing in that time

I'll be at the one in STellies

WAnnabe the Mugg & Bean is just around the corner from you, no need to ride more than 100km's to get there

Gister is ek Builders Warehouse toe, maar ek is nie meer seker of dit ‘n wyse besluit was nie. Sien, die vorige aand het Swambo ‘n kerrie met chillis gemaak en ek het ‘n lot van die dis opgevreet. Die chillis was een van Swambo se gepatenteerde “jy-bekak-jouself-chilli” souse. Smaaklik, maar dit raak later nogal pynlik en ek kan julle n geskrewe guarantee gee dat jou hol oop hang om asem te haal die volgende dag. Jou boud wange trek so wyd oop dit lyk soos ‘n spaniel se ore. Nou toe ek vanoggend wakker word, toe verwag ek dat die 06:00 “trein” my sal toilet toe roep, maar niks het gebeur nie. Alhoewel ek kon voel hoe daai chillis deur my derms swem. Dat daai chillis wou uit was nie altemit nie, maar ek het nie meer geweet waneer nie. Maar ek het dinge gehad om te doen en moes toe Builders Warehouse toe gaan om Rubol vir die dak te kry. Daar aangekom het ek die trollie gekry en so paar ander goetertjies gekoop soos houtskroewe en double sided tape, voordat ek by die verwe en terpentyne aangekom het. Dis die verste punt van die toilet af toe daai pyn deur slaan. Ek het met my elmboe op die trollie se handvatsel geleun op daai stadium. Skielik is my tree vanself korter en toe my holspiere toe trek toe trek daai selfde holspiere my arms ook reguit. Dit het gelyk of my bene se bearings geslaan het want ekt tot stilstand gekom. Ek dink my holspiere is deur die chillis gyselaar gehou gewees, want toe kom daar n waarskuwing skoot uit. Ek was te bang om te beweeg want anders kom daar nog walms uit, maar het geweet: “Bra, djy moet nou hardloop”. Ek het in beweging gekom en net toe ek by die aisle uitstap, kom daar so bleeksiel nerd met sy Builders Warehouse pakkie en vra “More meneer. Waarmee kan ek u help?” Nou kyk.....die knaap weet van building net mooi vokkol, so ek mompel vinnig nee en stap aan. Ek is ook nou nie die afknouerige tipe nie, maar toe die knaap verder in die aisle afstap, toe draai ek om en kyk hoe die knaap in die rigting van daai walm stap. Genade mens. Dit was asof hy in ‘n muur vasgeloop het. Ek moes hom seker gewaarsku het, maar ek het nie. Sy oge het net so geknip-knip, toe val ‘n swerm onsigbare bye hom aan want hy waai sy arms en versnel in tru rat. Ek was emosioneel in twee geskeur. Ek bars uit van die lag, maar DIT waas ‘n groot fout. Daar kom ‘n sarsie skote daar onder uit, wat ek later hoor vir ander customers soos ‘n gewapende roof geklink het. Hulle het blykbaar dekking geslaan en hul beursies en selfone tussen die rakke weg gesteek. Dinge was vir my nie meer so snaaks nie en ek jaag toe met daai trollie af toilette toe. Niemand het ook ag geslaan op my nie want almal dink ek hol van die rowers se geweerskote af weg. Maar al die pad “klap die skote” en ek hoop en bid ek maak die kakhuis voor die finale storting plaasvind. Vir “once in a while” was “luck” aan my kant. My gat het nog nie eers die sitplek geraak nie, toe vind daai einste finale storting plaas. Ek hoor toe hoe ‘n arme drommel die kakhuis instap en al wat hy se is “Liewe Blik ........!!!!” Daarna het ek die net sqeak van die kakhuisdeur gehoor soos hy daar uit storm. Uiteindelik is ek klaar en ek stap uit. Nog ‘n winkel assistent kom na my toe en se “Meneer, een of ander idioot het ‘n stinkbom in die winkel gelos. My bestuurder wil he almal moet buite staan sodat hy die waaiers vir so 2 minute op full blast kan laat werk.” Ek het gegrinnik, maar daar was nog “rowers” aan die anderkant van my grensdraad wat toe die laaste ligte skote afvuur nog voor ek kon knyp. Die winkel assistent se neus het skielik gefrommel en na hy sy hemp oor sy neus getrek het, het hy sy vinger in my rigting gedruk en geskreeu “Dit was hy!” Die bestuurder het my eenkant toe geroep en ek is later formeel in kennis gestel, of liewer gese dat ek geban is by Builders Warehouse. Ek is toe huis toe sonder die artikels wat ek wou aanskaf en net betyds vir middag ete. Al wat daar was om te eet, was gisteraand se chilli-kerrie wat toe nog beter smaak as voorheen. Ek vreet toe maar die laaste lot ook op. Maar die dek moet geverf word met die Rubol, so more gaan ek Mica toe moet gaan.................

For that price should be gold plated with diamonds Wonder if they sold any

That is a very good idee that last 12kilos are tuff- little climb up to the stop from N7, Vissershok & Odendaal's

They are not giving away the land to them, there are some conditions in the title deed that prohibit this.

The government do not require any building plan approvals of the City if it builds within the road reserve, nor are there any environmental issues. Road reserves are excempted from the regulations/stipulations of the Landuse Planning Ordinance.

Pending court case about this. The land on which the buildings are intended use to belong to SANPARKS but is now owned by the Western Cape Provincial Government. Robin Carlisle is taking alot of flack about this

That's why bunny hops were designed just get your timing right otherwise.....

Guys go to the Police this guy is clearly scamming money from people and hubbers beware, don't buy from someone on the hub if you haven't checked them out. I ussually know who the buyers great gran parents are and where they live before I buy something

This is crazy, next time it might be you or me RIP fellow cyclist and yes all of the best for the grieving family left behind

Looks like Warney is going to be in trouble, the witnesses confirm the cyclist version of what actually happened. Hope there is moerse damage to his merc/ferrari as well

Had the same problem with SAB trucks on Botlary rd

although I recon that Mark was a much better batsman than Steve.

I would love to see how this will end and whether the cops are going to charge Mr Warne for not stopping or reporting the incident with them.

See there are 2 sides to the story- Warne being aggresive that sounds familiar

Mr Bender I agree fully with your sentiments If I had a shop like CWC has I would want to know if there are customers that are unhappy. The reason of my initial post was not to flame them but to warn them that they should jack-up their act in their shop too. The on-line bussiness seems to be delivering the goods

I hear what you saying mate, but I did go to a sales person to ask him about the goods. He was so bussy with what he was doing that he hardly looked-up while I was speaking to him. And that to me equals disrespect

Maybe I don't look like a big spender

I got the feeling that they are not interested in the small sales, but the guys that spend the big bucks might be wrong

With the pain and suffering of last years race up Vissershok and Odendaal Str still fresh in my memory banks I will unfortunately not be making it to the race on time this year. I am expecting a very important telephone call from my granny living in Germany that day
