  1. Isn't that worse?
  2. Ah, shame. I was baptised and have an expired temple recommend to show for my time. Actually at the time of my leaving, I was a member of my Ward Bishopric. Don't assume.
  3. Mormons would do that
  4. Why don't you read the studies? It takes less time for a car to pass twenty riders riding two or three up than it does to pass a string of 20 riders in a long line. Less stress and exposure to death for everyone.
  5. I must say, as sorry as I am for the OP for his accident, this thread has made me feel real sad for people. All the anger, aggression, threatening comments towards other people makes me feel a bit empty.
  6. Maybe harsh, but it just seems weird with their total domination of every stage race leading up to the TdF for the past years, and their fighting talk, that they're non-existent so far this year (Green Mountain aside).
  7. http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/341016/slide_341016_3513102_free.gif
  8. What a surprise to see Hamilton's car develop problems. Shows, the testing meant squat.
  9. That's not enough popcorn to get you through this thread.
  10. What's the official line from SKY? They told us that Froome would be better than last year even, that Porte would be a TDF winner on any other team. (Oh, and that Sir Sideburns wants to win Paris-Roubaix...) And now it seems Froome is likely needing back surgery, and Porte, well, the less said the better. If they asked me, and they wont, my advice would be shut the hell up and ride. Yeah, I know it's early season, but you're only as good as your last win. Porte's last? And then he cracked so bad he nearly gave Froome's TDF away.
  11. No. I disagree. They're strict because in my experience the average South African of a certain means (like a Gautrain user) has a very sickening entitlement complex. And I've never seen a guard slouching around as you put it. I stand by saying that you, me, all of us, should stop looking for the lowest common denominator, and start building a future we'd like our children to have.
  12. I agree. The rules is the rules. If a set of rules allowed you to carry this item on some other form of transport, that's their rules. The gautrain rules apply their rules. It's like that Oscar thread and the plakkies. The one train won't let you in the dining car with flip flops. That's the rules. Don't like em, starve, or abide by them. Seems simple to me, and the gautrain will let you on wearing plakkies. Go figure.
  13. Bows can kill things. And the guard is just doing his job. I'm not happy with people that look for any excuse to claim the rules don't apply to them, cause they're oh so special, but I'm even less happy with people that fight with the guard who is doing what he was told to do for probably just above minimum wage. You care and/or feel so strongly, go and find the man. Pick a fight with him. And when they tell you to abide by the rules, try that. Look at it this way: they're lenient with you and your bow, the next thing you know, the gautrain looks like one of those regular metro rail daily transport deathtraps, and people like you can say "look, I told you so" when the gautrain closes down and we all suffer. We're trying to build a better future, aren't we? Can't each of us just do the right thing when it comes down to it?
  14. I don't get it. You refuse to follow the rules and keep bitching about it? I must go reread your remarks on the JHB is a 3rd world dump again. You can have a world class city with rules or you can have a generic African pile of crap.
  15. 7:30 ish To Sandton Daily. Its pretty packed . Also, much later than 7:45 ish you wont get parking @ Rhodesfield. The best option then is park @ Emperors and bus back to Rhodes field I wont leave my car on the street @ Rhodes field.
  16. Yeah, I'm gonna peel the F1 sticker off my Renault when I get home.
  17. North Guateng High Court sitting in Pretoria. You might be seriously cross examined though.
  18. Cellar

    Latent! Get your finances in order before you go buy more toys. We are watching you.
  19. Don't worry. He'll crash enough times during the season to not be a title contender...
  20. Yeah. They do a fantastic job in spite of all the pricks who think they know better and don't have to abide by the rules. And thanks to the guards, the trains and stations still look in new condition.
  21. And again in first free practise this morning.
  22. My initial thought would be that you are over-thinking it, and you are tensing up as a result.
  23. Next time keep the surf board at home and try riding the singletrack on an mtb?
  24. Call me jaded, but when an unknown EyeTie beats the best, I raise an eyebrow and take it with a pinch of salt.
  25. Agree. He's taken over in my heart were schumi left off.
