    Bomb me a pm with your size and I'll see what I can do... Ergonomics I assume?

    Afraid so... Thanks for the sentiments guys, it's not me out of a job, but two lovely folk - I'm not sure you'd meet nicer. The shops never made great economic sense, we used them more for marketing and showrooms - but in times like these with still so much uncertainty around events for some time ahead, it was sadly inevitable.

    Unfortunately you're going to need to get cosy with our online store pretty soon Chris Thursday will be the last day of trade for the Cape Town branch. Just not feasible to keep it open in the current economy. Shops open 9am-5pm from Mon - Thurs if there are also last bargains you want to grab...

    Thanks for the kind words and support - appreciated. We will be upping our game with the online store heading forward as well as we re-shape our business model a bit

    Sadly also the last day of trading for our Cape Town store this Weds Sadly just have to streamline our business model in these challenging times. Will be putting more resources and time into the online store heading forward... Thanks again to everyone for the support in these challenging times

    Very sad... healthy, strong man, gone too soon Cancer she is an ugly bitch

    Messi to City to join back up with Pep? That would actually be spectacular... just imagine him and De Bruyne in tandem

    Bayern deservedly the champs of Europe... but PSG could certainly have taken it. Silva going to Chelsea from the looks of it... they are seriously putting together a team there! You would never have thought he was 36 either... still looks to have a few good years ahead of him!
  9. Andrew Steer
    Honestly boet - where do you get off having an opinion based on your own personal experience... shame on you!
  10. Andrew Steer
    Should be a cracking final... PSG versus Bayern (of course Lyon might have other ideas) Two insanely good attacks with weaker defenses... just the way I like my finals Sevilla vs Inter also a very interesting one... Inter should win in my books, but this is Sevilla and the Europa league, they own the t-shirt... and certainly know how to get over the finish line

    A few years ago I might even have been excited about him joining... Some positives for sure though, he's English, he's a leader, and he's won things - all attributes we need at the moment
  12. Andrew Steer
    Abidal gone as well now...
  13. Andrew Steer
    He's quality... lots of 'work' to do though
  14. Andrew Steer
    That was me... well, kind of - specifically was with relation to Serie A and the French league if I recall. German league is very competitive, even if the Bayern dominance is obvious, they have lots of strong teams these days... Reading too much into one off results doesn't provide much insight in my books... and easier league = fresher players for this tournament, it's a huge factor any which way you look at it. French teams are very well rested and have been able to line this comp up from a long way out. German teams also had a nice break before this. English, Spanish, even Italian teams all look knackered from this run of games over a relatively short period of time... and the results show

    Been enjoying all these Europa/Eufa games... deposited R300 when I saw the odds on offer, took a bunch of R20 punts and now sitting pretty with over R10k in pocket and some very good prospects from a few multipliers that are still running... had a bit of luck for sure, Wolves and PSG games were just a tad close, but very welcome extra funds in these tricky times
  16. Andrew Steer
    And Utd heavily favored in the odds to take them next round... wouldn't be at all surprised if Sevilla take them out.

    Harkerville Red Route Location - 15km from Plett Discipline - XC'ish (you'll work much of the time) Distance - 25-30km Difficulty - Intermediate upwards (nothing crazy) Proper fun flowing riding with some of the best views you will ever take in. Easier, shorter routes also available, but just do the red Karkloof Trails Location - Karkloof Country Club Discipline - XC/Marathon Distance - 10-80km Difficulty - Intermediate upwards (IMBA markings) The trails change as the logging moves around (SAPPI country) But endless options for fun riding that will keep you smiling for days. Home of Hylton Turvey, one of the best trail builders in SA. The soil round that area sure helps too... Cycle Mashatu Location - Tuli Block/Botswana (easier logistics than you might think) Discipline - Marathon Distance - 30km odd a day Difficulty - Easy to Intermediate Incredible game viewing from the saddle of your bike. All fully supported, with great food... and few things better than sleeping under a tree canopy in the African Bush around a massive bonfire with the nightlife calling. All three of these place I would go back to in a heartbeat, and have been meaning to go back to, some as many as ten years. Don't be like Andrew, don't wait. You won't regret it

    Dodge city... hope there is some justice down the line.

    Last day of trading for our Pretoria branch... if you're in the area, last chance to grab some of the Covid Clearance sale bargains... We'll be moving the leftover stock across to WearDirect thereafter... should take about a week or so to get it processed and repackaged. Thanks everyone for the support in these tough times - hopefully the nice bargains have also helped a little bit!
  20. Andrew Steer
    Thanks for the support as always Chris... We're out of stock on that, but I'll see if between the Pretoria and Cape Town stores we can make a plan
  21. Andrew Steer
    Sad indeed... 'only two people' out of a job, but yeah, the shops were marketing showrooms and bases for our reps for our core business of custom gear, but it's just not a luxury we can afford in this climate sadly. They're a small part of our business, probably only 20% combined, but yeah... not a good feeling at all. I think like many companies we will be streamlining things a lot. One typical example is we've had a huge push to online, whereas in the past it was very much an afterthought. Look forward to simpler days though, where we can set some goals, make some lekker kit and enjoy some races and good old SA gees again.

    Welcome to Joburg... you don't park a car outside at night anywhere without a car guard watching it. There is quite a bit of petty crime around there though, but that's sadly the norm for busy wealthy areas.

    The best thing the Premiere League ever did, was spread the tv rights money out pretty fairly. It gives even the weakest teams the capital to do something in the league, and hold on to their better players a bit longer or at the very least get a good price for them, which again allows them to grow. It's what creates the competition... no easy games, no resting players for big games, all games are tough. Half of the top 20 richest clubs in the world are in the Premier league... and I'd imagine the rest who aren't in that top 20, probably aren't too far behind. I don't know if the models have changed much in the other leagues, but last I looked into it, the top teams in the other leagues often got more than the lions share of league revenue, and all that does is keep the status quo

    It is home to the greatest local pub ever... the Jolly Roger. Grew up in the area, and my sister still lives there, it's really nice and vibey... my only suggestion would be to not buy within a block of the main street and shopping areas, it's a bit chaotic at times and you're going to have strangers parked outside your house much of the time. Very lekker to walk to a coffee shop etc though or finish a ride off at Hudsons, Espresso etc

    Cool, I do hope so
