Respectfully, i don't understand the fascination with Nico Hulkenberg?

rumor has it Vettel signed with Mclaren and Sainz is going to Ferrari. Where does this leave Cornrow Hamilton? (in another sport hopefully...) https://www.wheels24.co.za/FormulaOne/breaking-sebastian-vettel-signs-with-mclaren-for-one-year-sainz-to-ferrari-20200513

That will be like having Owen Farrell playing for the Springboks. Please no...

a Strand resident on his morning cycle in Tokai, during lockdown. dis darem lekker... did the journalist not pick up on that or did he decide to ignore the fact?

Ed Force One coming in hot...

God of War is probably one of the best games I have ever played. I had the first one on PS2, then GoW 2 was released on PS2 and later re-released on PS3. I think I have all but the latest game in the series, even the ones initially designed for PSP and then re-designed for PS3. Gameplay remains awesome. And you havent truly played GoW if you havent played it in GOD/TITAN mode...

Quintus and I have been enjoying the last 2 morning's walkies very much, wet shoes and all - for me, not him Now, there is this lady about a kilometer up the road from me, I walked past her house once and her boerboel was running around the front yard and adjacent properties off lead while she was inside her residence. Quintus was still very young then, so I kicked up a bit of a scene: told her to get the dog off the street and what she is doing is illegal/irresponsible and she will be sorry when she ends up in court because her dog attacked someone. My outburst was only subsequent to her telling me to f-off... Anyways I prefer to not walk past her house anymore because I dont want to deal with stupid people when Im trying to relax during our walkies. So this morning we cross paths on a greenbelt, just as she unhooks the lead off of her boerboel. A passing gentleman just looked at her, looked at me and said "some people..." to which I replied ïm going that way, if something happens she mustn't come crying to me (Quintus is now much bigger, but also well trained). So I walked past and told her again she should have a lead on her dog, its illegal to have a dog on the street without a lead. Her reply was golden: "hier's gewoonlik niemand hier nie"... HAHAHA I replied, whether there is someone here or not, its still illegal, to which she again responded by telling me to F-off. Now, had this been a man, by now I would have come to blows with him. But this woman is testing my resolve. City of Cape Town bylaws clearly stipulate that it is illegal to have a dog off lead in public. And she clearly has an attitude of F... everyone. Whats more is she is acting like this in front of what I presume to be her kids. I can almost garrentee this beach isnt married, because no sensible male will live with this type of female. or maybe she is, but he wears the vajayjay Anyways, its just a bit of a rant. Another day in Protea Heights, Brackenfell, where you are entitled to have your dogs in the parkie off lead and totally justifiable to tell people to F-off when you call them out for being inconsiderate and selfish. I mean everyone is out and about between 6 and 9, and some people just dont give a damn about others because its all about them... Until that Pitbull escapes and bites a laaitie in the face - this happened about 8 years ago in front of my house. And then the dog is put down... put the stupid owner down for pete's sake... I honestly believe there should be an aptitude test accompanied by a license to own dogs, of any kind, because some people need to be reminded of what it means to be a responsible pet owner. Rant over, its raining so im not sure we will be walking in 6hrs time... and Im back at work on Monday so there goes my 3 hours of daily exercise...

but... the GOAT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EQYimzsaW0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98cXeKMZ91s 26 years on. remember seeing that incident on tv as a 15 year old. my pops and i were absolutely dumbstruck...

I’ll be walking the youngster, pretty much garrenteed to experience proper social distancing [emoji1787]

that right there is why kids from broken marriages develop problems. I say this with the utmost respect to you Captain. I am just so lucky that when my folks divorced back in 19 voertsek, they remained relatively respectful to and of each other, specifically in front of us kids (maybe my sisters have a different view, but that is what I experienced). My heartfelt sympathy man, its not easy to try and remain civil when the other party is not playing ball. And being the better person doesn't solve the problem, but it does halve the harmful behaviour emotional abuse your boy is exposed to. Strongs Captain.

ja, sadly it seems to be the case. like what is the point of this so-called curfew? if you are not at work as an essential service provider, you are meant to be at home ANYWAYS? initially i was hoping that the curfew would be in reference of being outside in your neighbourhood, like within the 5km radius, which to me kind of makes more sense when read together. but alas, as we know, common sense is not so common... just got word that I have to report back to work on Monday, so my hypothetical situation just became a reality it seems. happy to be back at work, not happy that i cannot walk my dog under said regulations.

I have a Dell g3 3579 i7 gaming laptop. It was decent spec when i got it, but as these things go, its now almost ancient... Installed FarCry2 last night so going to give that a go. Might dabble in the Assassins Creed genre, or possibly Wolfenstein, ill see.

the boredom is finally getting to me, tired of my PS3, so i hooked up my gaming laptop to my 42inch in the study, and now im ready to game. what are we playing? can I join in? strategy or FPS... otherwise its me and Age of Empires...

thanks for all the messages guys, much appreciated. Quintus and I are slowly adapting to the massive hole left, he appears a bit confused, not quite his exuberant self. I have my moments, somehow theres one song on my gym playlist that triggers me into a bit of a red mist/crying sesh, it helps with my one-rep max effort... (I have a home gym thank God...) i have a question though regarding this evening's announcement: if you are working then you wont be able to make use of the exercise window to walk your dog between 6 and 9: this is my interpretation, which if it is correct, doesn't seem reasonable? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

I had to make that drive to the vet earlier. She was no longer herself, lying in a heap and breathing heavily. The tumor on her leg had become the size of an orange. The sight of her lying in a heap not doing anything just using all her energy to keep breathing was not how I think she would want to live. RIP my Princess Xena.

Jip. I feel the same way. Its a pity really, but it is what it is.

dis GLAD nie krieket nie... jammer om te hoor ou maat!

Yesterday i woke up with the idea that today was going to be the day. Got up and fed the pooches, and to my surprise she ate much better than the preceding day or two. Watched her closely and it seemed as if she was just having difficulty passing a stool, which led to her being almost herself after that. With the rain she cuddled up to me on the couch and that was that, im not quite taking that drive yet. Then the mindgames started: how i almost made an incorrect decision to end her life. That thought is still playing in my mind as i type this; it just seems too big a decision for a human to make. On 29 March 2018 i had to put my Rambo to sleep. His suffering was more obvious and the decision was “easier” - his breathing became problematic as a result of lymphoma and his appetite had gone. Quintus, my new pup (he is 2 in May), i worry how he will cope with losing his “mommy”. I worry about these things because my rotties are my life subsequent to my divorce in 2013 and the many failed attempts at having human relationships with potential partners. It is what it is. Apologies for the unhappy post, it helps talking about it.

There's something about Mary is on while im faffing around on the laptop... piss funny movie! haha

Sorry for your loss ???? @Frosty I fear that dreaded drive to the vet is fast approaching for my Xena as well, bloody cancer. The last couple of days things are going backward pretty noticeable and im hating every minute of it.

So i built a little agility course to help alleviate their and my lack of daily walks. Its not much but it is better than nothing.

My thoughts are with you. I had to put my first rottie to sleep 2 years ago to the day. He had cancer in his lymph nodes, and his breathing became more of a gurgling sound. Driving him to the vet, i was pissing my eyes out. Holding him while he was injected was worse, seeing his body go limp and his breathing stop. Finally got back to my bakkie and i collapsed, crying uncontrollably. The drive home to face the remaining rottie was torture, it started raining and i took Xena for a run in the rain, talking to her and saying Rambo is running in doggie heaven, with all the other doggos. About 4 months later i got a new male, from one of the more reputable breeders in CT. Xena is still with me, albeit at 9,5 yo and carrying cancer in her front leg. She is not in pain, however a tumor has formed on her joint where the cancer is present. Quintus ran over her last year and she fractured the leg, xrays revealed the bone was weakened because of said cancer. She still has lots of energy and able to do most things she always did. Every morning i get up and am thankful that she is still alive, but i dont think she will see out 2020. When she is unable to climb on my couch and her appetite goes, ill have to make that drive again... I live alone with my dogs. They are my world. Losing one is absolute torture. I wish all of you doggie parents much love.

jarrrrrr that is super kuk...
