Apologies run on a scale from something like:" I'm very, very sorry. I made a big mistake. Can I help you carry the suitcases back to the house?" To something like ,"Okay, okay. I shouldn't have asked your mother if she was wearing a gas mask." This one started at the bottom but the lack of response from them is making it move up the ranks.

If you went to a wedding in the previous century you danced to a Carole King song . And you did that silly train thing through the hall. Sometimes going out the door and coming in somewhere else. And the old ladies who had a few too many would beckon you from your seat, until you joined in.

And Carole King is going bananas. "It's my song. This legend is doing my song."

You guys are so sharp. I'm trying to think of a witty reply, but it just won't come.

Lekker song. I only learnt late in life that this was the same guy.

Duane , have you checked out The Backyard Sessions ? Changed my opinion of Miley Cirus somewhat.

It's a long way to the top (if you wanna rock and roll)ACDC. May as well apply to cycling. Riding down the highway Going to a show Stop in all the by ways Playing rock n roll Getting robbed Getting stoned Getting beat up Broken boned Getting had Getting took I tell you folks It's harder than it looks It's a long way to the top If you wanna rock and roll

I sometimes come across them in Suikerbosrand on solo rides. I give a few coughs to make them aware and then try to do the blank look ahead. Once at Rietvlei I came across some Zebra. There were a few foals and mothers very close. I stopped and made that sucking noise that grandparents do with babies and puppies. Then in my head I saw the headline: "Moutainbiker Bitten on Nose By Zebra." I pushed off qiuetly.

You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run , you missed the starting gun. My number 1 album. Just listen to Nick Mason's drumming in the intro part.

My four year old grandson wanted to see this over and over.

'n Ginekoloog is naby aftrede. Hy hou daarvan om aan ou karre te werk. Hy skryf homself in vir aandklasse om sy kennis te verbreed. So is dit tyd vir die praktiese eksamen. Eksaminator: "Dokter u het baie goed gevaar. U het 150 persent gekry. 50 Persent omdat u die enjin reg uitmekaargehaal het. 50 Persent omdat u die enjin weer reg aanmekaargesit het. En 'n ekstra 50 persent omdat u die hele job deur die uitlaatpyp gedoen het.

Originally done by David Bowie.

Koos kom terug SA toe na die oorlog . Daar is 'n medaljeparade , maar die generaal is horingoud. Ou Van stap vorentoe. "Baie geluk kaptein van der Merwe.Jy het uhm, ai tog . Jy het uhm, 'n vliegtuig in 'n geveg afgeskiet." Koos vervies hom bloedig. "Generaal met respek, ek het AGT Focke Wulfs afgeskiet." Genl: "Wel, jy kry net EEN f**ken medalje."

Oke with him is Iggy Pop. Some say he's the godfather of punk.

Heard this song on RSG about a year ago. Has a dark sinister quality. Loved it the moment I heard it. And it just disappeared .

The "shadow" here being Mark Knopfler.

Everything at the 94.7 is about ten times the size of the Tshwane Classic. More toilets, more parking, more waterpoints. A much bigger start, a twenty times bigger finish. The finish at the TC was a gazebo and an anouncer. It's more like the Fast One with road closure (but with vehicles crossing). I reckon that to have road closure with crossings as opposed to total closure, with all traffic diverted, makes a big difference in terms of costs. That said, it was a nice race and I will do it again. Also if you are a cyclist you can pick your races. One evening less at the Spur and you've saved the bucks for something that you really want to do. The whole race is the price of a Gatorskin tyre.

I went to school in Braamies. With Hillbrow next door. In the late sixties and seventies it was a cosmopolitan place. We were young and had very little money we walked those streets for hours.Look and Listen was a favourite. Being a boys school we got invited to an Afrikaans evening at Parktown Girls High. Cultural thing, poetry and so on. They expected some some Brylcreemed guys with safari suits and combs in their socks. Het hulle 'n surprise gekry.

Jim Morrison's ode to Los Angeles. Piece in the middle Mr. Mojo Risin, bit of vanity . It spells Jim Morrison.

Googled a bit . Seems that the Doors had three songs in the Springbok top 20. Light my Fire '67. Hello I Love You '68. Touch Me '69. My favourite Doors songs are Riders on a Storm and LA Woman. Riders I heard first time on either John Berks or David Gresham's music shows on Springbok Radio. They had fifteen minutes each in the late afternoons. Never owned or saw the actual vinyl (LA Woman) until many years later. With an inside sleeve like this I doubt that it would've passed the sensors. Edit :Will put something on the other thread.

My kleindogter vertel van 'n wonderlike uitstappie na 'n "diereplaas" saam met die skool. Sy is in gr.2. Alles ingeneem oor koeie, volstruise en nog wat. "Weet Oupa, daar is akkedisse so lank soos 'n mens. Nee , nie krokodille nie. Maar hulle moet in die son bly anders gaan hulle dood, want hulle bloed is koud.So hulle sit die heeldag in die son en fokus."
