hells yeah. It just looks and sounds mean.

Ginger beer is also good for that...

"it's so ugly it's beautiful / cute" The 999... it's grown on me over the years, but when it first came out I hated it. It was such a rapid departure from the timelessly stylish 916/8/96/98 series that it seemed out of place. But it was just a change in design philosophy. The Panigale is bloody gorgeous, but in a completely different way to the 996 etc. It's like a runway model showing the latest clothing in "perfect, aggressive beauty" that has you looking back for more 'cos it's just so eye catching, vs someone like, say, Selma Hayek who's just... CLASSY and can pul eyes away from even the "most perfect" model because she's just so... effortlessly beautiful. To put it more bluntly... dolled up to the max with a monumental amount of design work, vs something that just IS (something being the bike, not a model ) If you get my drift.

1917. A cinematic masterpiece.

Ja.... got Park n Shop (Meadowridge) and then the Ladies Mile one left. After that I have a PnP in constantia & plumstead, so we're both pretty well covered if it comes down to it.

According to a recently shared spreadsheet, my closest Checkers has just been shut 'cos of a positive test result.

My job here is done...

Yeah, but I reckon they're gonna be packed come 06h05 tomorrow

I've adopted a bit of a new mantra recently. I can't do anything about what's happened in the past, but I can control what I do in the future. That, in addition to "people are stupid" and "don't be a dick". Sometimes it's difficult to balance those last 2, though... Oh - and dishonesty. I cannot abide by it.

thanks, guys. It's not only his mother though. His gran (my outlaw) is a properly toxic and vindictive individual, My mother put it best - she'd have to think about alerting the lifeguard if she was being swept out to sea. I get on well with my ex FIL. Okay, we don't talk, 'cos I divorced his daughter and that's a no-no in dadland, but we've always been on good terms. I've also never, ever, said anything bad about his mother in front of him, or when he's around. I may despise her, but she's still his mom.

Yeah, that's also Parks land.

Honestly, with how busy the green belts are likely to be on those mornings, I think I'll stick to the indoors for a bit longer so I can actually go at times that are ACTUALLY quiet

Like those guys from The Bluff who just really live there, they're not really the OP Rough & Tough & from the Bluff se Muff af. But they like to think they are, because they/ve, like, been there all ma life, hay.

watched another great movie last night. Resistance. Tonight's feature length moving picture will be Parasite.

He's Van Wilder, bro. For the other side there's that other Ryan dude. Gosling.

Dude. He's my world. It broke my heart hearing that.

Watched Guns Akimbo last night. It was light-hearted fun action. Loved it. Sorta like Happy meets Shaun Pilgrim vs the World meets Deadpool. Corny, full of dad-jokes, dark humour, action and bloodshed. I like the fact that it really didn't take itself seriously.

crap, HD. That's sucky, but better than the alternatives IMO. Much better than some arrangements I've seen and heard of with uncompromising exes. Not related, but related to your closing line. Yesterday, walking my son back to his mom's place (2km away) I had him on my shoulders for some of the walk, and when I moved to put him down, he started panicking uncharacteristically. I asked him what was wrong, but deadpan. Nothing. So we stopped, and I tell him that it's polite to answer someone when they ask you a question. Nothing. So I change tack, and ask him why he panicked when I was taking him off my shoulders. Nothing. I then ask if he was scared I'd drop him. A little nod. Okay. Not the answer I'd wanted, but let's carry on. "why did you think I'd drop you, my boy? I'd never do that" Cue full tears. "but you just left". My jaw goes stiff from me clamping it shut. Spend the next 10 minutes explaining that I'll never leave him. Absolutely flippin gutted. I don't know WTF the ex has been saying to him these past 2 1/2 years, but my son was scared that I'd leave him.

No.

No, that part has been there since last week. It's just that we've been wondering what those "strict public health guidelines" will be. EDIT: I say it's been there since last week, but I think they've spruced up the language a bit and added those exclusions to the sentence.

Yep, that's my thinking, too.

Yeah, it was the only bike at the time that held a candle to the Duc 9** design, in my opinion. There was a guy that worked near my office in the UK (central london) that had one. Sjoe. Shivers. There was another guy on a large Husky smoker as well. OMG. And don't get me started on the cars.... omg. One of the directors had a Gemballa Cayenne, and whenever I went to the Knightsbridge branch, it'd be a supercar party.

Cloud Atlas was straaaaaange.

IMO no.
