That right there is one of the 1,000 reasons I love this country.

Here are the Spark details for a travel Sim. You get a 1 or 2 month option, but it sounds like the $29 1 month option should be sufficient for your needs. I used this option when I first arrived and then just converted it to a Prepaid when I got my work visa. https://www.spark.co.nz/shop/mobile/travel-pack/ You don't need to pre purchase it as you will be able to get it at the airport on arrival.

I found that like most 'tests' in order to nail the higher bands it generally comes down to exam technique. A friend pointed me to a great website run by an English teacher who also used to be an IELTS examiner. She teaches you about the techniques to use in all four areas of the IELTS exam. It certainly helped me - I managed to get an overall band score of 8.5 (minimum of 8 in writing which imo is the most difficult part of the exam). Check out ieltsliz.com She also has a great YouTube channel, which is what I mostly used, you can find the link on her web page.

Hi Hayley You still looking for ZAR's. Have just landed in NZ and looking to offload some SA Rands.

Same thing happened to me a while back. Eventually found that my Activity Level had reset itself to zero and so it wasn't calculating my calories. Go to Menu>Settings>User profile>Activity Class and change it to any number from 1 to 10 That sorted it for me.

Have you considered the Specialized saddles. I'm not really a fan of their bikes but I have to admit their saddles are top notch. Have an Avatar on my MTB http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/saddles/roadtriathlon-saddles/avatar-comp-gel And riding a Romin on my road bike http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/saddles/roadtriathlon-saddles/romin-pro The Romin is a little outside your budget but have a look at their other offerings. I'm sure there is something there to suit your budget (and more importantly - your derrière). Edit: Fixed link

Have an entry in D Group going. Unfortunately won't be able to attend. PM me if interested.

I keep getting "Payment Failure" notices. My card has been hit twice with R400 but still no confirmation of entry.

Sent you a PM

Looking for XL please

What sizes are available?

Well done DSTV. You've done it again. Go to another MTN advert before Froome goes across the line. WTF!!!!

I think the issue is that the Epic is marketed as a "world class event", so therefore the coverage should at least be approaching world class. The other multi stage race in SA aren't marketed as such (and there certainly isn't the international audience on the scale of the Epic). A 25 minute daily highlight package including a 5 minute racap of the previous day and 5 minutes of adverts only leaves 15 minutes for actual footage of that day's stage. How can Super Sport say this is the most televised MTB race in the world?

Super Sport seems beset with technical issues. Set PVR to record highlights package the other night (think it was a 2.30am rebroadcast). Only to find they had shown some silly tennis package instead.
