  1. Initial response to an event we been looking forward to being cancelled easily one of frustration or disappointment. However , that’s decidedly the wrong response. We should actually be saying, great news, the sporting feds and governments are doing the right thing by cancellations and precautions. Likely every one of us at some point will be affected directly or indirectly by this thing. So, no whining from anyone about a canceled race , or event , or marathon , or meeting , or holiday, or Sunday Braai.
  2. Aiden and Reeza both got hundreds today. Suddenly there seems a few solid options . Dean Elgar never going let us down either
  3. Aiden Markram surely . I understand he’s fit again Or Temba open and bring Hamza back , he’s top of the run charts in the one day cup
  4. Now that was cracker . Belted a full strength Aussie lineup properly. We’ve always had the skills . Just need to build it back up and become solid again. Onward and upward.
  5. Usually quite pragmatic about sport. Can have a bad day and the margins for it are usually really small at this level, so the occasional slapping in a T20 game gonna happen. But not like that , not twice in 3 games.
  6. As suggested by Shaper, try do some open water ,particularly surf swims if you can. Sea conditions here in Durban vary daily, and if the tide is pushing in on race day over the sandbank, can get bumpy on the way out. Trick is to stay calm and try not waste too much energy on getting out through the surf, just take it easy, and once through the break, then settle into your swimming rhthym. I’ve surfed and swum here for most of my life and still find it way harder than the pool. Hopefully race day will be perfect weather with easy surf and you’ll get treated to Durban’s finest
  7. Wow , that’s sad. I really admired Nicole for what she did here , and really enjoyed the interactions and chats I gad with her . Very courageous lady. RIP Nicole.
  8. Eish , forgotten how to post on this thing
  9. Nice win for the Sharks . Been our best touring side for ages
  10. Cooked the most beautiful steak last night . CW said there’s 2 pieces , just cook one and freeze the other. Nope , I’m gonna cook both , one for dinner and keep one for lunch tomorrow ( today). All good Ate the one while watching Sharks clobber the Bulls, then went to the kitchen to put the other piece away. Found an empty board where the meat was , and my beautiful brave disciplined German Shepherd sitting proudly next to the counter with the last bit of my steak in her mouth..... CW not so impressed
  11. What does percentage clean have to do with it. Surely no sliding scale here. 100% clean means clean . 99% clean means unclean doesn’t it ?
  12. Edit
  13. Hoping someone here can help. Looking for a rear window for a circa 2005 Gysey Romany caravan. Can’t find anywhere . Any ideas ?
  14. Eish Eish Eish. Brilliant
  15. Cracker for Team EF . Well deserved win and seems like a ready nice fella . Can’t help but be a bit disappointed with the chase group tho . Biggest names in racing and they never really seemed to give it a shot to catch in the last 10 clips . I know it’s hellava tactical and If they drag Kristof through its game over . But got to give it a dash surely?
  16. United v Spurs or even United v City in next round would be cracker
  17. I usually only watch PL games during the regular season, certainly never LaLiga games , so one actually forgets just how skillful some of the European based players are. Was watching Messi last night, and we all know how good he is , but some of his passing and ball skills around the box is just from another planet . A real treat.
  18. Nice Gen . Great game .
  19. Watched the live stream coverage from the start of the elite batch. Very impressive, and the visual coverage all the way through was brilliant. Odd audio hiccup in the background, and interview timing drags , but really enjoyed the whole thing. Well done to whoever put it together
  20. Dodge
  21. You live in Barcelona ?
  22. PSG and Roma through
  23. I tried episode one, found it a bit edgy for me for the first 20 mins or so, sort of worked out it wasn’t quite going to normal like James Bond or MI. Tried got keep going , but soon as the butler appeared as a dog, or badger or something dressed in a tux , I knew I was gonzo out of there.
  24. Jose is looking for a job?
