  1. Yeah I thought as much. Some things are best left as fond memories.
  2. Really? sjoe - i remember going through his books as a kid in the school library - not sure I'd want to pick up a new one and possibly ruin a very fond memory.
  3. I used to read a Stephen King book within 2 - 3 days tops , and I thought I'd read all his works (bar a few of the sci-fi ones) - I recently discovered his book '11/22/63' that I hadn't read - got so excited - but I just can't get into it. King used to be one of my favorite authors I've had it on kindle for over a month now - i'm about 13% into the book - either it's crap or I'm just not into it and other things are more interesting. Need one of those books that you stay up to read and lose track of time in ...
  4. I know nothing about the guy, but usually the guys that produce the good stuff - have a 'good' story to tell. I'll look out for it, tx.
  5. I do love this lady's work.
  6. Hey mini hijack - tell me is would you say tranquilitas is relatively safe during the week to ride around on my own? Would stay on the routes close to camp, not too found of the bits going into town or past the dump as best of times. Reason is I got leave that needs taking before December and want a place where I can just hop on the bike and go. Thoughts? Pls. To.
  7. I'm the wrong person to ask - scardy cat - but go check it out - nice fun single track out there. I on the other hand need to go back to Thaba for a sufferfest.
  8. I think there's some disparity in the definition of a drop - personally I consider it something you can't roll off - so require lifting front a tad - but I know some consider a short steep downhill a drop too - the one I'm referring to is off the reeds section, from my pic turn left and down.
  9. Some blue grass ... Perfect Sunday wind down for me
  10. En route to BRB, I met fellow vale resident Long wheel Base. My little tiger, Grrrr was spotted on the back of my car ???? Then I'm normally pretty risk aversive on my solo rides, sticking to trails I know, but I got bored and turned into some of the blue routes. I had a whole lot of sphincter clenching moments but was pretty chuffed with myself getting around these rocks and small ups and downs. Then on another route i suddenly encountered a red arrow, at the end of that nicely manicured single track is a ****** steep down /drop - I had a look and thought noddafok. Walked back and noticed the chicken run sign I missed - phew.
  11. Previously known as ? What happened to your previous account then?
  12. Pretty impressive Wayne. I'm gonna google that and maybe have a go.
  13. But why? Sidewaysbike.com
  14. If it doesn't include the red bits maybe I will
  15. Sounds up my alley - where? Netflix / showmax? Found a fluffy girly series called girlfriends guide to divorce which I enjoyed as come home from work and unwind entertainment. Need a bit more substance now.
  16. When getting there is not a problem #happyTrails #friyay

    Who remembers?

    but cool runnings and Roxy's weren't even on the strip (7'de laan that is) - but great fun. Feelin' Irie cocktails at Cool Runnings-ahhh, and the metal nights at Roxys. I used to love Melville - Ratz was my go to place - great tunes, great liquid coccaine shooters - great crowd. Dinner at Nuno's - drive by flashers, crazy drunken days - ahhh miss it . Haven't been to Melville in quite a while - Cafe Mexhico is still a favourite amongst mates for a piss up, but must say the vibe just ain't the same anymore. Would be nice if they could do a revival without making it all ponce. Areas like Norwood are on an upturn as well - good to see.
  18. Duran Duran's come undone, I like this version.
  19. Rode there a couple of weeks ago, thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't have the balls to do it in the dark though.
  20. Now that is a pic that makes me wanna get on my bike and just ride away and see where the road takes me. Can I steal it for Twitter?

    The movie thread

    pretty much - she had such a unique look previously - now she just looks leathery and pained.

    The movie thread

    Went to watch the latest Bridgette Jones - not worth it - i like the fun frivolous aspect of the movie - but I couldn't get into this one - and the work Rene's had done on her face, i found myself more in awe of that than the plot.
