  1. Mildly intrigued as to WHY you think it's funny! I can't think of any other reason other than you think it's funny because it's a chance to mock another person's beliefs, an effort to try and build yourself up by belittling others. From any other angle, I can see no reason why someone would see humour in it . But hey, get your kicks (cheap or otherwise) wherever you want.
  2. I keep absolutely nothing on my phone that isn't sych'd to google (email, contacts, calendar, apps, docs, photos). As an Android phone, it makes no sense to me to NOT do that. If it's not a google app, then it's syched to some other cloud service. I can replace my phone without any hassle at all.

  6. I've also heard this, although the box specifically states wholegrain, so I dunno - I believe egg white omelettes (with a single yolk) taste the same as using full eggs, contain the same protein, but contain considerably less calories - perhaps I'll eat that for b/fast instead. Anyone want to volunteer to come and make that for me every morning? Seriously though, thanks for all the input so far. It's all common sense I guess, but trying to muddle it through in your head sometimes makes it seem more confusing.
  7. Covie, That's pretty much where I am. I've lost a lot of weight since the beginning of the year until beginning of April, but despite an increase in activity, my weight is at a plateau right now. I'm losing inches though, so I'm not complaining too much yet. Aitkins / New Noakes / etc seems to have been getting some good successes, but it's not a cheap way to go - replacing all your carbs with protein / fat based foods results in quite a substantial increase in your monthly food bill.
  8. Thanks folks, all makes lots of sense. The deficiency is obviously protein. Cyclewizz - My evening meals are a full meal with Protein, veg and carbs, and I normally try and have a larger portion of the protein than carbs. I always figured the yoghurt and cheese was enough protein throughout the day. I guess not. I do accept that my breakfast is too low on protein though, something I'm trying to figure out how to address in the best way possible.
  9. Ok, so I think I know what the problem is, but I wanted to get more opinions and input from you lot as well. I'm currently on a mission to lose a large amount of excess weight. The mechanisms I've used are 1) Eat less rubbish, 2)Exercise more - I was told that this is the way to do it, and I agree (~15kgs down since September last year). Ok, enough kidding around. Problem is, I'm always hungry. My training consists of a great deal of running, a moderate deal of cycling, and some gyming. This is made up of 5-6kms run early morning twice during the week, 10+kms run once on the weekend, cycling to and from work (12kms either way) 3 times a week (sometimes, I cycle to work on the same day I run in the mornings - getting ready for duathlons), and gym once a week - generally on the weekend. My diet consists of a bowl of oats or wheetbix with an apple/banana for b/fast, an apple and a yoghurt for mid-morning, a sandwich (wholegrain or rye bread) generally containing cheese and tomato and sometimes some avo. Mid afternoon is another fruit and yoghurt and dinners are generally no holds barred, within reason - ie, as little rubbish (cream, fried foods, oil, etc) as possible. I'm always hungry though, the only time I am not is within an hour after eating, but then I'm ravenous and have to push myself to wait until the next meal / snack. Am I training too much, am I eating too little, am I not eating enough of something, am I eating too much of something (I'm currently scoffing about 5-6 apples a day, as this is what I'll allow myself to fall back on when I hit those hungry spells). As I said, I believe I have an idea of what I should be doing, but this is based on not much solid knowledge at all, and I know there are some clever people here, so hit me ... and help me ;-) Thanks
  10. Must agree, the over exaggeration of his "points" and the ridiculous nature of his suggestions to "rid the world of this scourge" do tend to make me laugh at this guy and not take him seriously at all.
  11. Double Ah-ha - makes sense now. Thanks.
  12. Question, why do these bikes even have seats ... or even seat posts for that matter. I get that the seat tube is required for the frame integrity, but what the hell is the seat for. I wouldn't even want to sit on that green one's seat - too close to the wheel.
  13. Although, speaking to the guys at the start, they said they've been packing up around 2-3pm, because people stop arriving to ride from around 11-12. So yeah, arrive before 2 and you'll be able to get your entry ticket, and just make sure you're out by 17h30. I'm sure this will change as it becomes more popular and the whole arrangement settles down (with multi-passes, month-ticket, etc), just as the "Weekend only" arrangement will change over time.
  14. I had a really good time out there. My phone, running Endomondo, died just on 13kms, which was around 60% into my ride, so I'm guessing I did around ~22 thoroughly enjoyable kms. Route markers were a little difficult to see in the wooded sections, in fact, Grant (I believe his name is) mentioned that they're going to change the blue to yellow - that would make it a lot better. I also mentioned that some boards with the various route options be placed at strategic places, but one at the start would be ample I think - just something to give you a general perspective of the area. Grant did mention that there are section markers around on top of the posts, and I understand the intention, but I still think a general overview may be a good addition. Bi-directional indicators, and maybe even wider singletrack where there is a bi-directional situation, is almost a must. I had the same heart in the mouth moment coming around a corner thinking I was on a one way, only to be charged down by 3 juggernauts coming in the opposite direction. Overall ... massively pleased with the trails, nice and close to home, and given the petrol I'd have to use to get to Rietvlei or Groenkloof, the price is about right. Thanks Guys, much appreciated.
  15. Hehe, some rather spectacular acrobatics from a Landy http://www.carmagblo...1-freelander-0/ Now if his wheel size was bigger, he would have simply driven over the manhole. Although, I do question the validity of the whole thing - the 2nd video seems to indicate that it was more of a deliberate stunt than anything else.
