  1. Lighten up chap. It's Friday and there isn't too much happening elsewhere.
  2. They're not around any more.
  3. I thought you loved your wife more than that Wayne...
  4. It's not only you...
  5. You are not alone... My fitness reward came but no drive reward.
  6. Not what, but who...... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  7. Every now and again, I click on a post that has been hidden as a result of my ignore settings and then I realize why I set it up like that in the first place.....
  8. We have started trying to bank points on weekends. Park Run on Saturday and a minimum 1hr ride on Sunday at 70%+ nets you 600 points. For us mere mortals all that is needed for the week is three gym visits or a morning run and a few big step days and you are sorted. Have noticed that points take a while to come through tough especially if you are syncing more than one activity.
  9. Thanks. I have dropped them a mail as well as Cape Coffee Beans.
  10. Anybody know where I can get one of these? It is the plastic insert from the conical bur from a Porlex hand grinder clone. Mine split in half this weekend
  11. Apex - The story of the Hypercar. Not a series but available on Netflix. If you are a petrol head then well worth a watch.
  12. I had a disc cut. I got tired of cleaning up coffee on the stove top. My pot JUST balanced on our cast iron grids. Then we moved to a place with an electric hob. I use my camping stove now when I use the moka. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  13. I just think the price of bikes is crazy. I read/heard somewhere that the BMW 1250 GSA is R350k... is that right?!? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  14. Record your heart rate while you jog, you'll more than likely get more points for the heart rate than the steps.....
  15. That was weird.....
  16. The bluetooth on my phone is always on (Car kit, portable speaker etc so it becomes a pain switching on and connecting all the time). Got home from gym this morning, took my watch off and left it next to my phone while I had a shower. By the time I got out, my watch had synced with Garmin Connect and Vitality had awarded the points (Samsung S7). I think I am going to port cross to Pay as you Go (personal phone) and keep the S7 (I agree with the business phone though)
  17. Actually quite scary how much we rely on our devices nowadays... MTN were offline today when I went in to do the paperwork. Gave me more time to think. Recycling my S7 on a pay as you go contract is starting to look more and more appealing.....
  18. Vitality/Garmin connect related question... The time has come to upgrade my cell phone contract. I recently bought a Garmin wearable device and the Garmin Connect syncing through my phone has revolutionized my life (I used to have to connect my old device via cable to my PC and sync that way). Now you get home from a run/cycle/gym and put the device down next to your phone, magic happens and you get your points. I currently use a Samsung S7 and although it is 2 years old. there are no issues. BUT everybody wants a new device to play with... I don't really want to dump a whole lot of money into a contract every month just to have the latest Samsung so I was looking at the Huawei devices. However, I read somewhere that there seems to be syncing issue with the Garmin devices and the Huawei devices. Is anybody using a Huawei P20 Lite with a Garmin wearable device? Edit: or any Huawei device for that matter
  19. Glad I'm not the only one....
  20. Discovery is only interested in the heart rate/speed data. They will only allocate points for the corresponding heart rate/speed data and the duration of the session. As mentioned, can you use the lap function and edit the data in your training software or does it all have to be separate?
  21. My Dad had an R80 that he used to commute on. Good memories riding to school on the back. At one point a pack of smokes held more value than they did. Then some bloke chopped one up and turned it into a thing called a Cafe Racer.....
  22. I wear reading glasses. I am finding that when I ride, I can see the track ahead of me fine, but I am battling to read my Garmin when I look down... (Getting old isn't for sissies) Can you get "reading inserts" for cycling glasses? The arm on my Uvex just broke so I am due for a new pair.
  23. I had an issue a few weeks ago where my Vitality Drive Rewards odometer wasn't updating on the app. I could see my trips being logged on the DQ track site though... I called Discovery and they said it was a systems fault with no indication of turnaround time. I waited a week and still with no progress, I handed it over to my broker. Issue was resolved within a few days and I was "backpayed" my missed rewards the next Wednesday. My advice would be to contact your broker and let them sort it out.
  24. If you have Instagram I would highly recommend following him [emoji106] he was posting from the Roof
  25. I was the same. I just used to search for 80's music and watch the Fail videos. Then a friend introduced me to the Channels. Well.... Mighty Car Mods, MCM TV2, Bad Obsession Motorsport, Retropower Cars, Lyndon Poskitt, Adventure Spec, Hoonigan, Project Farm... and I could go on but this is a bike thread.
