  2. Like it or not .One of the biggest hits ever, as I recall. Wet Wet Wet , Love is all around . Originally done by The Troggs.
  3. This is nice . Loved it. The oldies walking over the crossing at Abbey rd. Lekker.
  4. Stand By Me was also covered by John Lennon. It was a massive hit in the70's. Some work and some don't. Wycleff Jean's cover of Wish You Were Here by Floyd, and Limp Bizket's cover of Behind Blue Eyes by The Who just didn't do it for me. Santana did a good job on Peter Green's Black Magic Woman. Songbird and Dreams by Fleetwood Mac and Baby I love your way by Peter Frampton covered a while ago , but I don't know by which artists. Nice thread. Keeps me awake at night brushing away cobwebs. Edit: Gimme Shelter is a great song . Was also covered by Grand Funk Railroad in the 70's. Many years ago a young guy at work was listening to a compilation of religious rock music and a more mellow version of this song was one of them. No, he didn't like the Stones. Then I showed him that it was credited to somebody called Jagger Richards. Changed his mind a little , I like to think.
  5. Yes, saw on the web Stretch. "Popular Problems". We'll have to see. With him you never know. He does not appeal to everybody ,which I totally understand. Cohen I take in small doses alone or in the background. Not recommended if you're already depressed and there's red wine around. Edit: It may help to keep The Campbells ,Rooirokbokkie with some brannas and Coke on standby.
  6. They say there was a secret chord ,that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music do you ? He's not everybody's cup of tea. He's complicated ,takes years to finish a song, agonises about life and things.Loves women and wine . And he wants to take up smoking again. Congratulations on your 80 th birthday Leonard Cohen.

    Race ended for me at just over 90 km mark, One moment I was cruising downhill on tired legs. The next I was in an ambulance , I apparently hit a waterbottle,I have no recollection of the crash.Landed on my face unconsious, Scans, stitches one night in hospital. Lucky nothing broken no damage to the grey matter .Helmet and front shifters scrapped. Thanks to Kevin who helped me ,saw that my bike was ok etc etc.Even went to medic tent to look for me. I really appreciate it. I now owe somebody the same. Edit: Forgot to mention ER 24. Werner and ............ Maureen? Thank you.

    No run ,no swim. Edit : Most races don't permit them I think it is a CSA rule. Bottles at the back and sleeveless shirt is ok, if you don't mind the remarks.
  9. Tot in Swede ,waar die regering amptelik die LCHF dieet aanvaar het en dit vir hulle bevolking aanbeveel.
  10. www.enjoyfitness.co.za They make two types, both for under R 1000. Reptilla and Black. I have the Black which is the cheaper one. Use it for races training the lot. I can recommend them. Almost two years now.
  11. Heard this last night. Family member obese with high sugar and cholesterol, went onto strict Noakes diet without telling his doctor. Had his blood tests done.phones the GP. "Sorry you'll have to redo , they must have mixed your test with that of somebody else. All results normal here." His off the statins and insulin. Lost 18 kgs so far.
  12. Kleinbrak area. Big Dipper. The bridge crossing the river is being repaired. I could have walked through knee deep water, but was pointed to a scaffold plank by one of the workers. So on cheap MTB shoes and Spectra in hand I proceeded. My wife's often spoken words of wisdom came to mind. " Moet nou asseblief nie weer n poepol van jouself maak nie." I managed the 3 metre crossing ok. Either way it's a steep climb , nice view from the top.
  13. If it's a small dog you brake hard and then try to run over him him over.
  14. When I bonk during races I unashamedly suck wheel on the blue labels. On the other hand when I'm having a good race (that is being able to cling on to the back markers of group KL) I pass these poor struggling souls with an air of superiority on my way to the finish line.
  15. That article mentions a compound called Quercitin. Anybody used or heard of?
  16. We know. But they spend big money at SS , and can therefore dish out big klaps.
  17. It's happened before and it will happen again. One brain dead individual pushing buttons and the bosses all at home.
  18. Bloody supersport fools. Adverts 200 m from the line. And we miss the finish.
  19. I always get told by my daughter that a smartphone is a complete waste in my hands . So I pushed some buttons and I have it ready for the start.
  20. Juffou: Maak vir my n sin met die woord tuinslang. Jannie: Daar was n tuinslang in ons tuin , toe slaat my pa hom met die hosepipe dood.
  21. I appeal your decision. My answer " A Star Trek type beam", was close enough. I will deliver my complaint at a coffee shop in Stellies sometime in the future.
