  1. Look at the end of the day, its the pilots call on whether the plane is overloaded or not. Its a pity that this is happening now when all the cyclists are rying to go down. I'll just be sure next time to make alternative arrrangements when it comes to transporting a bike to an event....Have seen to many of these f'ups over the last couple of months....
  2. Hopefully they didn't "dissappear"....Have they assured you that they are still there?
  3. Not sure it was posted as a humerous clip. Unlikely that a zoo would have glass that can be broken by the animal inside...Have seen an elephant enclosure with a glass part...
  4. Was just about to comment on that...
  5. That is funny....:-) Will become my standard response to superstitious (religious) comments from now on.
  6. No, they advise on very grey tax interpretations....
  7. Lawyers are somehow not bound by FAIS, depsite the fact that we use them extensively for tax advise in structuring deals. Which in itself is a financial service. Somehow they managed to get out of it!
  8. How about that built into a current helmet. Would have prevented my consussion two weeks ago...
  9. Yes, apparently the cause of lightning strikes on previously disadvantaged individuals was attributed to: Apartheid White capital The DA White males Afrikaans cultural institutions White imperialist pigs Die Groot Trek Apartheid Any white individuals not covered in the previous causes Bantu education Black university alumni that work in white capital companies and who are friends with white capitalists
  10. This story is quite old, however the sad/scary part is that no-one is really surprised that someone in the government makes such a statement...
  11. I wonder how authentic those pics are....The rocks that they are riding on are much lighter than any other rocks in that whole formation. With some layering in Photoshop one can achieve an effect like that...
  12. Or you'd lose 90% of the eyeballs on the site... And all advertising money with it People love bitching and moaning... Debate is good...that's why these threads exist...
  13. Luckly no broken bones, only a severe concussion. Will see doctor on Monday again to have stiches removed. Will hear then when my brain is out of that concussion risk zone. Hopefully soon...
  14. I honestly can't remember a thing. I suspeect that I was going at a fair lick on hard surface and suddenly went through soft sand and lost control. It must have happened really quickly as I don't have any injuries on my hands or wrists. So I must have hit the ground instantly...
  15. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone that helped me after my face plant over the weekend at Northern Farms. I was the blond guy that was carted off in the ambulance. Special mentions go out to: My work colleague and his wife(you know who you are). The tuck shop owner lady. The ambulance staff. And lastly, there was a lady(fellow rider) that was holding my head when I regained consciousness. I feel terrible for not remembering your face, or saying thank you. All I can remember is your voice. If anyone can recall this incident and knows who this lady is, and/or know of anyone else that assisted me in my moment of delirium, please PM as I would like to thank all involved. I was unconscious/ in lala land for about 20 min, so I have no recollection of anything that happened 5 min before and 20 min after my fall...So I apologise if I dont thank some people specifically....
  16. Can't we get some more pics of chicks without tats?
  17. Watch out that you dont get called a racist for posting that...
  18. No, Im not a policeman, but like any law abiding citizen (or I like to think I am) I do get frustrated when someone is breaking the law. Its natural.
  19. Are they allowed to ride 5 abreast?
  20. I was driving through the cradle this weekend on my way to Van Gaalens to do some MTB'ing and I can confirm that these guys in these big groups ride up to 5 bikes abreast. Often had to drive behind them before I could overtake as I had to go fully into the oncoming lane. I can understand how non-cyclists can become irrate...
  21. Its called a free market system. When it functions correctly prices are very close to each other. Anything else means that the distribution of information in the market is impeded somehow.
  22. I would like to hesitate a guess at the age of this guy.....14? I suggest he comes and works for me, and try and do something that I have mastered. I will make sure to shout at him while he is slow at doing the work that I will do 10 times faster than him... Patience is a sign of maturity...
  23. PM me with the details please
  24. Either a cobra or a mustang...problem is my fuel bill is already high with the 4 litre V6 vehicle that I drive.
