  1. contra-rotating rotors / props do a lot to cancel that out. Also there'd be balancing cams in the engines themselves, so not that much of an issue. The prop-wash though. Yikes.
  2. LOL. Gimme some time to set things up, and then yeah. Still looking at the providers and which platforms etc to use. It's a long process, but I'll let you know when it's up n running...
  3. Slowly slowly. We've just got our share trading license, so it'll be a while before I'm comfortable enough with the systems to actually offer it as a service.
  4. Locally, PSG if you want a dedicated broker who trades each day. It's not my area (yet) but that's where a lot of my share trading clients go as well.
  5. Just started GoT again. For some reason I lost my way in the first series and just didn't get back into it.
  6. Yeah, longer and slacker. So a more capable machine and also more compliant for long days in the saddle, when a long stemmed twitch monster would be a bad thing.
  7. Yep. I do know that. My LBS proprietor is a Ninerd of note... One of the original stockists of Niner bikes. As for the slip - I'm blaming the meds. 3 myprodol, taken 30 minutes ago...
  8. As Fantana says... on the face of it, they look similar. But that's all down to the seat tube junction. If you have a look here, you see that the similarity is in the top tube and seat tube shape / junction area. And there are very few ways of doing this, while keeping weight down and strength up, as well as retaining a decent standover height. So it's not surprising that this looks somewhat similar to the RDO. But - have a look at the PYGA again... You'll see that where the Niner has a straight down tube, the PYGA is more curved - like Giant's down tube has become over the years. Again, to ensure that thejunction at the BB is super strong. The pivot points, rear triangle and shock placement are also very different between the 2. The PYGA is using a derivative of the Split Pivot design, whereas the Niner is more of a Weagle-esque design (like Giant's Maestro as well) except that it runs below the BB instead of above, which makes it very different to the likes of Giant, Ibis and other DW bikes. The thing to remember, though, is that there are only a very limited amount of ways a bike frame can be built, whilst retaining its design objectives - strength, weight and rigidity. That means pretty much everything will at least in some point in its life look like something else.
  9. That would be discovery health, not vitality. And there probably waiting for the revised NHRPL guidelines to be published (whenever that is)
  10. Depends. Up until 2 years ago we rolled over ALL our MSA on an annual basis. Then baby. Now that he's a bit older we're in the same position. And I'll probably take advantage of that, seeing as the money in there isn't interest bearing. Admittedly not for everyone to use, as it won't accrue to your above threshold benefit (if you're on a plan with ATB) and it'll take away from stuff thay you MAY need cover for. But. It'll work for some
  11. Hence the edit to show that it would be covered under Healthy Care (Clicks & Dischem) which now included all fitness related items, pretty much. Oh - the Healthy Gear has now been extended to pretty much EVERYTHING that SW carries. SO, that's where I'll be shopping for some sporting goods from now on...
  12. In addition to... It works out nicely for those guys who don't claim that much from their day to day stuff, and always have rollover MSA at the end of the year. I just need to check if the Dischem / clicks portals are going to be added to the healthy gear list, as they already have a large range of fitness aids... Then it'd be R 750 from MSA, 25% off through Healthy Gear. edit: R 750 from R 700 Also - confirmed that the devices at Clicks & disc hem will qualify for the 25% off through the HealthyCare benefit. So you'd be scoring...
