  1. Properly styling!
  2. Much thanks for your generous gifting Barry, it fits perfectly. 🙏
  3. You might like UltimateStreaming. Been using them for a year, very broad range of channels and most cost-effective. Reliable service and some 4k channels and local channels and RBtv, among others. I’ve found that they quickly attend to server issues. No more than a couple of minutes a couple of times a month and patience is worthwhile. Malcolm is available for texts and calls (even today) at 069 430 7150. https://www.ultimatestreaming.co.za%2F&usg=AOvVaw0bpShZAOslEcDYwcsLw2wp&opi=89978449 I recommend favouring the European and Mid-East channels for the favourites folder ‘cos, unlike the N American channels in this service, they have schedules.

  4. Please may I arrange and pay for packaging and collection for personal (meaning me and myself and I) use? And at a time that suits you.
  5. Until a decade ago I was doing loads of work in Mthatha and throughout Mpuma Kapa, and previously while working with the Health Department our health commission team took occupation of Mathanzima’s hilltop state residence in '94 and ’95. Perhaps the thinking was “just put the mlungu's team in the apartheid palace”. I am eternally grateful to the elderly gentleman who sidled up to me in central Mthatha during a work visit to that city in 2010. I may have been married to an isiXhosa woman for many years yet found the language and its intricacies difficult to learn. I often didn’t, or didn’t try to, get the conversations around me. The gent whispered “these guys behind us are discussing how they’re going to steal your car from you, go right now”. I’m still appreciative. We share approaches in one respect, on occasional visits to the ex in-laws west of Mthatha I completely avoid the centre of that blighted shitty.
  6. 340???? One day, insane. Way less when the distant ex paid for the four days to match conclusion in 2003. Even so, I prefer to think I may have been doing some things right to deserve all that.
  7. Same same, coughed myself stukkend for about three weeks with two rounds of antibiotics and corticosteroid interventions. I usually cycle daily but even short rides to the Walmer Spar when I started feeling stronger showed that I wasn’t ready for more.
  8. Sounds about right. Before and during two visits to a London based GF in the noughties I was unable to get The Arsenal tickets. Thankfully, she bought us entry for each day of SA’s famous Lord’s win when G Smith scored a double century, Kirsten a century and Matshaya Ntini bagged ten wickets. Wish my kids were as generous as my much older 84 year old, originally from Manchester, mate’s children who frequently treat him to days at Old Trafford Arena and the cricket ground and Lord’s and the Melbourne and British F1 GPs. I imagine your old man will be eternally grateful.

  10. "Really nice loud sound" As an aside, this bit in the ad got my attention. I might rather have worded it “Really k*k loud sound”. Many regard this as occurring with higher-end freehubs and low viscosity lube. Several of us find it irritating, I’ll stick with my mid-range stealthy bits. "...said the actress to the bishop."
  11. 🤣🤣 Djy’s ‘ie reg 'ie, but in a proper way.
  12. Of course you’re right in that regard, I’ve enjoyed many massively more modest adventures as most of us here have done. The calibre of knowledge of the passengers-adventurers means they must have known that OceanGate’s CEO resisted all attempts to get him to have the craft classified by submersible ratings orgs like ABS and DNV and the Lloyds Registry. It turns out quite a few clients pulled out due to safety concerns. The Manned Underwater Vehicles Committee of the Marine Technology Society had formally written a warning letter to OceanGate that their approach “could lead to disaster”. A The Simpson’s writer and producer said yesterday that the submersible lost all communication, among other serious technical issues, on each of his four trips on board. I guess it will be small consolation for the friends and families that one of OceanGate’s former associates said today that the deaths will have occurred within “milliseconds” of the implosion.
  13. … to submerse 3 800 metres to only on screens remotely and indirectly view that which can also with a drone submersible be remotely and indirectly viewed from the ocean’s surface (or even from my bed)???? Nah, a ridiculous grade-A exercise in financial masturbation. Reminds me of Bezos’ pointless sub-orbital flights in his dick shaped aircraft.
  14. If anyone around here knows those poor jobless guys Carl Nohouse and Ace Magashule, I’m told these guys are currently hiring...
  15. Much prefer buying locally produced clothing and local produce and wine and also prefer mom and pop shops. I was partnered in a bespoke clothing design business (am no designer) also retailing renowned SA designers’ pieces for several years. Even so, I find it astonishing that one of the local brands mentioned in this thread sells a basic single-colour trail tee shirt for R995. I’ve paid less for excellent quality and stylish formal shoes in Milan, which are as good as ever sixteen years later. Some cycling gear prices...

  17. Yeah, terrible football and attitude by the Roma plonkers after the first half. They pretty much done themselves in.
