    More details on this please Wayne. PM if you're more comfortable.

    My last few meals out my GF (yes, a long story for another thread...) and I ordered veggie pasta meals. Not to try and avoid meat or anything, but because they were full of all the food we love like olives, artichokes, sundried tomato, rocket, etc. Was packed full of flavour and I certainly didn't feel like I'd missed out on anything by not including meat. We're going to try a few more at home now, so that veg chilli recipe[e above will come in handy.

    Correct. You can move R1 mil out per calendar year as part of your discretionary allowance with minimal admin. You can move a further R10 mil per calendar year, with SARB approval. I use exchange4free and they monitor my annual limits for me, and also apply for SARB approvals for the foreign investment allowance. Very handy service.

    A very relevant article I received recently https://sanlamprivatewealth.sanlam.com/resources/fiduciary-tax/leaving-sa-what-happens-to-your-estate-plan/

    Personally, I've had good experiences with the Investec iSelect Preservation products and the Sanlam Glacier Preservation product. Fees are very low and they've performed well for what they are. That's my opinion, not advice

    Post No. 15 in this very thread discussed the China Study, and why you shouldn't take it too seriously.

    Don't rely on the shipping company to clean your bikes, rather do it yourself and pack them yourself. When cleaning focus on area under the fork crown and in the headtube. They white glove test that on every bike that comes through I used Execumove, to Australia, and they were really good. PM me if you need a contact person there.

    The road is closed at umhlanga, just after portland drive, so you'll have a very short ride.

    It depends what you want from it and how much you want to spend. I have a B&W Zeppelin Air, which sounds amazing but isn't portable. Also have a JBL Flip 5 which is portable, waterproof and nice for taking on holidays. The JBL costs 10% of the B&W, so can't really compare sound quality.

    It forms a large part of their diet, and without the science most of them would suffer from significant malnutrition.

    Yeah, there is. Ever heard of the Banana21 project? There's many just like that that allow people to live where in the past they would have starved.

    The same thing happened to a friend of mine in Edenvale, Gauteng after he shot an intruder climbing through his bedroom window one night. The guy concocted a story about how he, the innocent black man, was just walking past the house when the angry white man shot him and dragged him into the yard. The cops were only interested in the racial side of the story and he spent a few nights in lockup before lawyers got involved and got him out. It got worse though, because he sued the cops that arrested him. Life got very tricky for him and his family and he ended up having to leave the country and move to the UK. SAPS and Metro cops are thugs par none!

    Do some reading on just the fundamentals, and you'll understand. The majority of crops grown for animal feed are not fit for human consumption. Nevermind the fact that animal manure is essential to maintaining soil quality in production farming. No animals? You'll get 2, maybe 3 seasons of crops from land before it's buggered. Unless you plan to use chemical fertilisers to sustain it? Oh, no, can't do that, it's not 'organic' lol. What about the vast areas of the world where crops cannot be grown due to water availability, soil quality or altitude? You going to send them all their food or just let them starve?

    FFS, please go read the facts before regurgitating this drivel.

    Exactly, when it happens it's basic fight or flight. If it's fight, you do what you have to with what you have...

    Apologies, close quarter combat.

    Haval

    GrahamS2 replied to Andymann's topic in Chit chat

    Other than a JV with GWM to build electric vehicles in China, BMW has no involvement with Haval at any level.

    Totally agree. If we look at the Spyderco Merlin, which was made infamous for being designed purely as a slashing/ disembowling tool with women in mind (there was even a special anti-rape training course offered at one stage), it is nothing short of devastating in close quarters.

    Not debating the efficacy of a knife - for CQC situations a knife and your hands/feet are the best weapons. My point was, as mentioned by others, don't think merely pulling a knife is going to end a situation. You need to use it, and properly.
  20. GrahamS2
    Nothing happened to him. Case went to court, was ruled self defence. All 3 were armed with rocks and trying to kill him.
  21. GrahamS2
    And the forehead. Blood in the eyes tips the scales in your favour.

    In that price range I'd look at Spyderco's sub-brand, Byrd. Great quality and steel, reasonable prices. I've had a Byrd Raven for many years and it's a good quality knife. Good edc size.
  23. GrahamS2
    If you carry a knife you better know damned well how to use it to full effect. Because a scenario of multiple perps and you armed with just a knife is going to escalate and get messy very, very quickly 9/10 times. A CQC situation with a blade is not for the feint hearted, so just understand that when you pull a knife it's not going to 'scare them off' like a gun would. You basically need to kill someone (or come very close) for it to be an effective self defence tool...

    Did someone send you the eggplant emoji too many times, Patch?

    All Delivered with the same zeal and blinkered view as most religions. Pure coincidence, of course...
