    I always chuckle at the 'saffas work hard' opinion. I'm my experience, they generally don't work any harder than other people. Background and ethnicity of people here is far wider than I experienced in SA, so no particular group of people really stands out. Culture is very much dependent on the specific organisation, but I've found people to be far more professional and take their jobs quite seriously, than in SA. I worked for 10+ organisations in SA and every single one of them had a fair amount of 'dead wood' floating around - people that just collect a pay check and manage to fly below the radar. I haven't experienced that at all in Australia so far.

    He's a petty shoddy vegan if he isn't spreading the gospel, um, message to everyone around him. Happy Friday!

    LOL, I was just commenting on this at work this morning. Shortly before a preso Regarding the snakes, I've seen a few in my 5 months here, all pythons. But I do spend a fair amount of time in the forest.

    No, that's way up north. The sea around brisbane doesn't have salties or box jelly fish. Climate wise it's similar to living in kzn here. A bit colder in winter for sure, and a bit warmer in summer. You get a few snakes but most warm places do. Not really an everyday issue though.

    It's all on page 1 of this very thread Nothing new, any exclusionary diet is bad for you. Consuming anything in excess is bad for you. Eat a balanced diet, live a balanced life.

    Despite not moving to NZ, I found this thread immensely helpful during my own emigration process. Really helped with the decision making and pulling the trigger to get going.

    Mine too. Sent the form via email to few addresses I found on myBB.

    Some feedback on this: CRC appear to just use Wiggle in Australia (who does all the sale fulfilment and comms). I'm experiencing delivery issues now and have been palmed off onto Wiggle. Next time I'll just order from them direct since the prices are identical.

    Which casing? I've been running them for the last 6 years, with the latest set in GRID casing. No hassles whatsoever. I need a new set and would be hesitant to try anything else at this stage.

    CRC hold some local stock, I’m just trying to figure out how you identify which items those are. I’ll let you know when I get my order
  11. GrahamS2
    Um, both! Ross is next level fit. I'm in serious training at the moment with our next ride in mind. LOL To add, I discovered that CRC also has an Australian presence (and website). Ordered some stuff today so will see how it goes.

    Finally, common sense prevails. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/crime/parents-sentenced-over-neglect-of-child-on-veganonly-diet/news-story/68bedf9fd1b86a2e04864c27349233d2 Such a pity public floggings are no longer allowed
  13. GrahamS2
    Where did you order from, and, more importantly, when are we hitting the trails? I've almost recovered from my ride with Ross 2 weeks back

    Much like with religion and other 'isms, the (valid) message content is often lost in all the mouth frothing.

    Cannondale had one in the early 90’s. Was a terrible thing but so easy to wheelie

    Price point should be similar to Sworks/ Santa Cruz/ other high end bikes, but let’s wait and see. I’m excited to see a carbon bike that doesn’t use the same old overlay tech as 15 years ago...
  17. GrahamS2
    Built in SA, but built by people who are considered one of the top carbon specialists, worldwide. From what I heard, the tech will change the entire premise of premium carbon frames.

    RIFLE

    GrahamS2 replied to mon-goose's topic in Chit chat

    I miss my .40. Put 2500 rounds through it one weekend and came home smiling. Such a versatile calibre, best of both worlds imo. Glad I don’t need it anymore though
  19. GrahamS2
    As I understand it, that’s right. She would need to approach the SA courts to enforce anything
  20. GrahamS2
    Your settlement agreement falls under, and can be enforced, in SA law. Where she currently resides has little bearing on it.

    Damned son, you really drank the coolaid. Those labels, well the first 2 anyway (can’t say I’ve ever seen meat labelled as ‘humane’), tell me how the animal was raised and fed. This affects the meat quality significantly. Nothing to do with easing guilt, everything to do with selling meat to the other 97% of the global population who choose to eat and enjoy it. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but most people on earth have no problem eating animals.
  22. GrahamS2
    Not surprising, just a poor marketing concept that finally ended. And not a result of lower meat consumption either. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/29/tesco-fake-posh-deli-fish-meat-counters-supermarket-fresh

    Xrays in food production is pretty standard. Woolworths insists on all their suppliers using them.
  24. GrahamS2
    Hmmm. I don’t have a ute (yet), but I do have a lot of furniture I need

    In Oz we get coupons from the council to dump, but have weekly refuse collection at home too. NZ seems pretty costly in many respects, especially food and fuel
