  1. I agree with you both. I also know nothing about realtor guidlines or laws but I have been refered to as a stable genius so there's that :-).
  2. After what feels like forever - our State of Emergency is almost over and our borders will be opening next weekend. . . . .
  3. First song I heard was "Duchess" back around 1980. The kid from the UK bought it over from the UK on 7" single. "Golden Brown" is a song that takes me right back to 1982 the second I hear it. I remember my friends, my first car, my first serious gilrfriend..... Jeez we had so much time in front of us!
  4. The Stranglers did some good stuff. One of the few bands to successfully transition through the Punk Rock era.
  5. The more determined thieves get, the less it matters what you try to do to stop them. Sad days.
  6. Bonus

    Who remembers?

    Just looking at that picture and I got the smell in my nose of the magazine!
  7. I wouldn't have mattered if she'd looked like a baby elephant - somethings are just better left unsaid!
  8. I got the impression that the Escobar reference was to do with Pablo's "charitable" side. Building schools and hospitals for villagers, donating towards equipment and supplies etc etc - whilst actually being a highly dangerous drug lord . . . ;-).
  9. LIkewise - all the articles about his over-sized heart & lungs and the fact that he produced less lactic acid than average made his story believable. I think the "destroying people whilst knowing you're lying your ass off" bit is what has made his actions so unforgivable. Remember him jumping the gap to the breakaway to join Simeone? Knowing that the Peloton would reel him, and therefore the riders in the break, back in? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Filippo+Simeone+breakaway
  10. Apparently it's 7 years since Armstrong 'fessed up. Amongst other things, Armstrong admits he used his "Cancer" as a means to deflect from accusations of drug taking . . . . https://www.bicycling.co.za/blogs/espns-lance-wraps-with-a-lack-of-regrets-despite-the-relationships-lost/?mc_cid=5276e17e45&mc_eid=d42fb6cf4f
  11. "Giba Cycling Park coach and development officer Tyrone Johns said cyclists should drive to the park and ride there. Locals had fallen prey to robbers in the area where the attempted robbery happened." Running the gauntlet before you can ride your bike.....
  12. I wondered why my post from nearly 5 years ago had been resurrected.... The road was always so busy - your decision is proably the best one.
  13. If e-bikes are put into a "motorbike" category, will it be easier to ban them from MTB races? Asking for a friend . . . .
  14. How could they put someone in a seat he'd paid for? I'd have a melt down too if that happened to me :-(
  15. I hate it when that happens! :-)
  16. I remember when this thread was fully of fun stuff . . . funny pictures and jokes . . . . those were the days :-)
  17. I remember when we lived in Weltevreden Park, one night at about 10.30 something flew over us loud, slow and low. All I managed to see were the strobes as it trundled into the distance, heading north. Didn't show up on Flightradar either.
  18. But they are putting more effort into "distancing themselves from the rest of us" . . . :-)
  19. The reason given for us being stopped from cycling during lockdown was that they didn't need anyone ending up in A&E :-(

Are they selling containers?
  21. We're used to getting nonsense emails - I've had two over the last week offering me "between $1 000 000 and $50 000 000 at 2% interest, regardless of my status". But I was surprised to hear from Harrods Luxury Department Store in London this morning telling me that "they want to buy my bikes" . . . . . These guys just never stop trying!
  22. I listen to all sorts, but currently I have this on repeat. Remember the original coming out oh so long ago.....
  23. After 6 odd weeks of lockdown it was certainly nice to be able to get out again and last evening we did a 6km walk/hike from Boltaña up to the village of Sieste and back. It was a beautiful evening after a hot day. We had our masks with us just incase, but we didn't need them. The view of Boltaña was taken from half way up to Sieste. You can see the remains of the historic castle up on the top, the Old Town below it and the New Town down at the bottom. The river Ara passes between where we were standing and the town - just below the shot. Sieste is a beautiful little village with view points in all directions, a fresh water fountain, a terrace bar . . . .
  24. Like the way it changes the number of seach results too :-) We google a Youtube Vid last night that lists 20 of these "Google Easter Eggs"
