  1. Positive, just a little one though, but definitely a gaboon viper ( I was just reminded by walking 12 year old field guide that correct name is viper and not adder) I have a picture on phone of a big one visiting an office this week...will see if I can post via tapatalk
  2. Goeie genugtig!
  3. Found it, gaboon adder
  4. If anyone ha a cure please help (I know there is no cure) I have that boomerang cold, the one that goes away and comes back the day after you start running making you feel flat. Should I push through as long as its not in the neck and chest or park off for another week?
  5. Me too...fold your genitals, like Thai lady-boy like or like packing it in a genital sized suitcase like? Curious I am?
  6. She's a honey!
  7. Barry was a bit of a legend with my boys too. I told them the story of Tumbleweed dying and how Ghost showed up mysteriously on his doorstep after a storm. The kids were in awe wanting to see photo's etc, they thought I sucked that right out my thumb. They ask every so often about Ghost and Ruby and Scar and my little oke often asks me to tell the story of Ghosts arrival. No, I haven't told them about the final chapter in Barry's life, will have to wait for them to ask and then show them the pictures of where Barry's friends are in life now!
  8. I absolutely LOVE these type of grown up threads (and Lady Pro's), but hell man, you can't get this type of info and level headed advise for free anywhere. You guys rock!
  9. Dean, it shows your parcel arriving, being assessed by SARS, passed and then passed to SAPO Int mail for further dispatch into the delivery system
  10. Did Nando's change add agencies? Not even a little bit funny
  11. I did my first 21.1km race today (ever), Tronox/uMhlatuze Running Club race around Empangeni. Nice hilly route, with approximately 2.5 to 3km of muddy sticky sludge between the sugar cane (rain started on Friday and stopped at 05:25, exactly 5 minutes before race start this morning). The mud was a was a leg killer of note, robbed me of at least 10 minutes as I slid and slithered through the boggy road and muddy water puddles. In the end I achieved my goal of completing under 2:20min, with a 2:17:17. If not for the muddy road, that would've been a 2:05 - 2:10. Training areas I need to improve - hills, Richards Bay is way too flat Muddy bog runs - need to invest in welly-boots and a well traveled farm road in rainy season PB on 20km PB on 10 miles (whatever America) Next 21.1 in 4 weeks and quite pleased with my progress. Will aim for a 2:05 on that run. On a side note: I started running this year weighing 95.6kg's, this morning I started on a much reduced 87kg's. Times should continue to improve as I ratchet up on the training and weight loss!
  12. Ping Pants Boy, he has a contact
  13. I like that, not good for testicle preservation and all, but love the rudimentary technology to charge the batteries.
  14. To Kevin, Barry's sons and ex wife, to his numerous friends in real life, my heartfelt and sincere condolences. We have lost a friend, a real personality and a man who loved animals like no one I ever knew. Such a very sad moment which words cannot describe! Rest in Peace Barry!
  15. Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement guys! I'm entering my first marathon
  16. Keep fighting Barry! We all understand how sick you are and how damaged your body is, but keep on fighting so you can see the sunrise again with your furry friends in tow! C'mon Barry, don't give up brother!
  17. Encouraging reading the race and training reports from all. Ran my first training distance 25km this weekend in a hilly part of Zululand. Felt comfortable after 3 hours on the road over the hills and along the flats. I'm confident that my first 21km race at end March will be successful and at which time I will aim for a sedate 2:15. Now a question for you more experienced runners; Would it be foolish to attempt a 42km, specifically the Deloitte Marathon between Balito and Durban on 7 May? Current training miles are on 280km, by then 3 x 21km distances would be completed and from what I have read it is termed as an easy run (we all know that running is never really easy?) Thanks you in advance for any feedback
  18. Healing vibes from Zululand Barry, keep up the fight!
  19. Believe it or not, been around for many years. Quite popular in the East and I believe also known in Holland a "blaashondje". Apparently it has it's practical applications in congested traffic...no word of lie
  20. Sun is rising on a new day Barry, healing vibes from the coast, where the waves crash and the air smell fresh this morning. Keep on fighting and healing!
  21. Healing vibes to a friend I have never met, keep getting better Barry!
  22. Howdy gents and ladies, I have trouble chewing and running at the same time, I need my mouth to breathe, however, if the food I take in is fairly liquid, no problem. I also have a deep rooted dislike of USN and Goo sachets and even if I stow them in my water belt pocket, they always leach and I end up with sticky hands. I was hoping we could come up with a reusable, not too bulky suggestion for race fuel in volumes less than a water bottle. I obviously need this only for my training runs, which I conduct mostly alone. I'm doing a 25km training run the weekend, so will need at least the volume equivalent of 3 Goo's. Thanks for your input!
  23. Hi Alan, easy fix: Go buy some 6mm dowel rod, look for saligna, it should have a similar colour than the wood in your picture. By a 6mm wood bit. Step 1: Clean the joint and re-glue. Step 2: Clamp square on, make sure its a nice joint through clamping Step3: When the glue has cured, clamps off Step4: Drill a 6mm hole into the joint Take dowel rod, dip in glue, insert in the hole, cut to size and viola! Joint should hold a long time.
  24. Keep fighting Barry! Thinking of you every day!
