  1. Our dogs got into a fight. The only thing that can stop them is pepper spray. Unfortunately the last time that my fiance used it she blasted herself in the face (nozzle was pointing in the wrong direction). It floored her instantly and had me choking as the whole house permeated with it... It's hardcore...
  2. You need to see it in the context of the room....but then again it's the master bedroom....so porno might be a fitting theme....
  3. Sadly our female, Dakota, has miserably failed her hide & seek grade 1 exam, opting for the curtain hiding spot....
  4. Brakpan....It says it all...
  5. If you looking for something similar, I can recommend this guy. He has some unique breeds: http://www.tsavukennels.co.za/
  6. That is one funky looking dog...
  7. It's always invisible to the person making stupid posts/ arguments....
  8. There exists this "invisible glass ceiling of intelligence" which some will never breach...You can't debate with someone above their glass ceiling of intelligence....It's a total waste of time...
  9. As long as the work is done when it is expected of you, or even before it is expected of you, then there is no problem.....If you are not doing your work, then I agree....get off the internet!
  10. Serious? But atleast they are real!
  11. Where does a brand fit in?
  12. Scarily, most of the guys posting on here about value for money, and how they aren't willing to buy this because it's to expensive, and someone's getting rich etc, etc, etc, don't even know what a net profit margin implies, and/or even what the net profit of the company they are working for is.... You need to dumb down your arguments....
  13. I thought something similar the other day.... One of our business associates is widely recognised to be worth well over a billion rand. He arrives at meetings in his 2000 Prado, probably worth less than R100 000? Parked next to him is a recently qualified "New money" attorney in his new model Range Rover. I wondered to myself, who has what to prove here?
  14. I agree that the majority of society is materialistic, especially in the backwaters of civilisation, but if you go to more advanced society's, you would clearly notice a strong movement away from materialism...Surely that is what we should strive for...My experience of people that want to brag about what they have is largely driven by from where they came from... Examples are rife in SA. I drove past a shack recently with an M3 parked outside of it....and I saw it again on my way back...
  15. Perhaps we live in different worlds...because I certainly don't attribute much value to something that someone has bought...thinking they are cool, etc...
  16. What many people seem to fail to realise is that people don't necessarily go for the brands because they are more expensive, thereby buying them some street cred with their friends, but because (I would like to think) buying something that is clearly a copy of someone else's intellectual property is morally abhorrent. It destroys incentive to innovate, and surely that must contribute to the death of any society...
  17. I love my library, but lost a bit of love for it when I had to move the last time...A box of books is damn heavy and it takes ages to repack a collection of books, nevermind that a book shelf is a dust collection hotspot..... Unfortunately I am slowly moving towards reading books electronically....
  18. Now that is funny...
  19. Ahh...all the justification going on...my god...
  20. I think it's a matter of principal... If you happy to do things on the cheap with no conscience, then go for it...
  21. Give me the F@#&%^*g rope!
  22. My girl has this rope with a knot in that she sleeps with....We noticed for the first time the other day that she moves it around with her whenever she changes her sleeping position... Just like a little child with a teddy bear....
  23. And some store owners wonder why people throw rocks through their shop windows, or even worse quarts filled with petrol and a burning rag....? This kind of retribution is obviously totally inexcusable, but some people will do this kind of stuff.... If I was a store owner I would be terrified of this kind of retribution ....
  24. We just took it off the price of our machine, no hassle...
  25. If you want to see some fun and games, throw a cat into a pool full of people....
