  1. To be honest, I couldn't give a fig right about now. Matt & co are fully within their rights to monetise some aspects of the forum, and you're fully within your rights not to want to pay. That's fine. It doesn't mean that you're all of a sudden cast off like yesterday's bath water, and it ALSO doesn't mean that they're being money-hungry troglodytes. You're not forced into it. It's purely optional. Will I join? Meh. I don't really sell a lot of stuff on here, so the classifieds boost options aren't for me. If something else comes along that results in a good value proposition (for me) then yeah, I will. At the moment, there's not a sufficient value proposition for me. If cashflow wasn't an issue at the moment, I'd join in a heartbeat.

  3. Ja. Looking down into contermanskloof. The Mainline & Revised line (and the tower) are behind JBR in that pic
  4. I think divorce without any introspection brings out the worst in people... In my case, it took the worst thing out of my life.
  5. Muscle mass needs protein to "survive" a calorie deficit. Feed sufficient protein, and you'll be in a better place for muscle sparing.
  6. Ha! The funny thing is that you can still be a cool dad WHILE enforcing rules and guidelines.
  7. Your ex may hit the roof, but the psych will understand how critical both parents' input is to the wellbeing of the child, especially post divorce. And remember, it's not "your side of the situation" at all. It's additional context on your child's character and your parental obligation. You also don't need to tell the ex you're contacting the psych.
  8. yes, contact the therapist. I did when my lightie was going to play therapy, and it was critical to the psych's uinderstanding of his situation.
  9. Hmmmmm.... I'd prefer the Makita / Bosch Blue over the DeWalt for service support reasons, tbh.
  10. Such a classy overtake
  11. You've put my thoughts into words...
  12. The chain's wear results in it stretching its overall length. Therefore, a worn chain can be said to have been stretched, and vice versa. They are both acceptable adjectives to describe a change in the chain's length and life cycle.
  13. It's a sad indictment that you even needed to type this out, Rig.
  14. That's not weird at all. You have to test it. It's written down somewhere, in a crusty old tome called "standard initial operations of new implements" or something. Like a tent in the back garden / lounge / garage. You have to check to see if it all works out properly, and leave the tent poles at home at least once in its life. EDIT: Preferably within 30 min of leaving home, most likely when you're 30 min away from the destination and you've already travelled for 5 hours.
  15. And why the hell not. Same as Kimi. If they still enjoy racing, why the hell not. They're still faster than half the field on a bad day.
  16. A good bike at a great price.
  17. https://www.iol.co.za/personal-finance/things-to-consider-when-selling-your-assets-to-a-trust-24839164 Market value Selling your assets to a trust at less than market value in an attempt to minimise the loan amount is not a good idea, as it will have the following unintended consequences: * You will be liable for donations tax on the difference between the market value and the sale price of the asset. * Any income apportioned to this difference will be taxed in your hands until the day you die, in terms of the anti-avoidance provisions of section 7(9) of the Income Tax Act. If any “connected person” sells assets to a trust at less than market value, from a tax perspective, the transaction would be deemed to take place at market value and the actual values at which the assets were sold can be substituted by Sars with market values (paragraph 38 of the Eighth Schedule to the Income Tax Act).
  18. CAVEAT - depends on the way they were married and a coouple other things, but IMO lawyer time. Problem is that that still gives an injection of cash into the shared estate. If he spends it, the stuff he spends it on will be part of the shared estate. If he just blows it, then it's not. So you don't really achieve anything other than spite, in those situations. If he's transferred the company shareholding back to his dad specifically to avoid it being a part of the accrual process, he's in for a bit of a shock. I'd say that she has a good basis for arguing its inclusion. If he sold the business back to his father (which is what's actually happened) then the amount he'd sold it for would form part of the estate. If he sold it for a pittance, that's also an issue that could get him into a bit of trouble from a tax perspective. Even if he set up a loan account for the same value as his share, that would form part of the estate. https://www.divorcelaws.co.za/hiding-assets-divorce.html
  19. Oh, one more. The tolerances are ever so slightly tighter and the materials used slightly superior. So it feels more solid, too.
  20. I didn't like Charles to begin with, but watching his streams for the virtual GP's and other races I actually like the guy more and more. He's definitely talented, and he's DEFINITELY the future of Ferrari. Vettel shouldn't have moved from RB, IMO.
