No domestique?

DUDE!!!! I have a mate who cannot resist giving all the bloody scores and results of all the rugby and cricket matches taking place over our WattsApp group. I give him a tongue lashing every time he does it. Does it help? No. Can't seem to help himself.

Sageko? Who dat?

Have you had a touch of flu recently?

That blonde woman from OITNB drives me nuts. Can't stand her character in the show...the very definition of passive-aggressive . I have enough of that in my life. The big lesbian brunette with the tats though, mmmmmmm Oh, and your new Abe Lincoln quote is a hoot sherriff, actual L.O.L. stuff

I heard they were going to rename Nkandla to Dunrobbin. But then they realised it wasn't true.

I think he's just looking for any non-musical name...

Here. And I can tell you that this was one incredibly steep granny hill

Well stop doing that and get on with it

Read this before I clicked on the link........ Glad I clicked on the link

Post the pic and the specs before you replace anything.

Hi chee_dee. Looks like your Stycle is made in Jiansu in China. Not much other info but I know that these manufacturers churn out thousands of these frames for sale in the Asian market. The reseller usually specs the components and I suspect yours will have Shimano Acera or Altus or some such bits.

We were recommended by our pool care company (a very well known one here in Sandton) to change the sand in our filter. We had a contract with them to sort out our pool once a week but weren't too happy with their work. Our pool always had a green tinge and algae formed on the sides no matter what I did. We raised this with them on a number of occasions and they finally told us that we should have the sand changed in the filter. They quoted R1,000.00 to do the job and cart away the old sand. We agreed. Both busy. Worth the cost. The week after, they assured us that they had, indeed done the deed. It didn't work though. Pool was still a bitch to keep clean and the cost of the chemicals to prevent it from going green was astronomical (we'd even drained the water). Anyway, we told them to take their service and shove it. A week or two later we drained the pool and had it re-gunited by a pool guy who lives in our estate. He also checked the filtration system and called me from my office (I'm fortunate to work from home) and showed me the sand in the filter. It was foul and smelled like a corpse. It most definitely hadn't been changed Lying, thieving, bastard employees of this really well known pool service. And they wouldn't accept any responsibility whatsoever *Edit: removed name of "Pool Care" company.

OK, so two further recommendations: One of my favourite movies is "The Talented Mr Ripley" Jude Law and Matt Damon play off each other here in a movie that is tense and brittle from start to finish. But best of all is a young Philip Seymour Hoffman. He colours his character with such a repulsive, reptilian cast, that you are simultaneously fascinated and repelled. Absolutely superb. The other is "Sleuth". A remade movie with only two actors, but what fantastic actors, in Michael Caine and Jude Law. These two play off each other so well that you are engrossed from minute one. Dialogue driven for the most part, and with twists and turns that make it, IMHO, a must-watch movie.

You are in for a treat with A Serious Man. Michael Stuhlbarg is phenomenal in this movie. He plays a man caught between his respect for his faith and his frustrations with the absurd judgements he is on the receiving end of. There are shades of Larry David's comedic genius throughout this movie, although he isn't credited.

Ja, even under all the scars and bruises she looked fanfrikkentastic

Great performances in Monster, North Country and The Cider house Rules, though. The girl can act.

I will recommend to anyone who is interested in truly remarkable film-craft and a genuine ability to drag the very best out of any actors repertoire, to watch, and re-watch almost any of the Coen Brothers movies. Fargo The Big Lebowski No Country for Old Men A Serious Man (Jewish angst at it's finest) True Grit (along with Unforgiven, a classic of the genre) And a movie which has very recently played on MNet.........Burn After Reading. Absolutely brilliant performances from Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and the incomparable John Malkovitch. If you have not seen this movie, I urge you to do so.

Waaay to much information Bro'

And can I just sommer give Ian Privett (HUB Strava Group) a whole herd of Kudu's. He never fails to send me a thumbs up and the man is a MACHINE on the bike.

Sorry Oxter. Mistook you for another Hubber. PM'd you this morning.

This is it probably! And thanks for all the kudos Yaseen Kahn (member of the Hub Strava Group)

And I can recommend your thread "Ladies and Bicycles" if other Hubbers want to see if "their beast just works".....

Great Scott!!!

Dun.
