  1. https://m.fin24.com/Companies/Industrial/court-grants-air-chefs-interdict-to-stop-in-flight-catering-strike-20191007 Not sure I'd be happy to eat a pre-packed meal prepared by a disgruntled employee who was only at work because the courts have forced him or her....
  2. That's OK then. I've changed my gender since then
  3. What info has been published ?
  4. Is there anyone who is prepared to drive my car from the start to the finish ? There may be a little something in it for them...
  5. Actually he was. After Festina cycling could not afford another scandal. It is well documented that he was bust but that UCI suppressed it and took a big donation from him "to strengthen the anti doping labs".
  6. Me. I have just got my Ritchey back, so I'm in.
  7. Thx Pieter. Where can I get the route and/profile of the longer races ?
  8. oh, I now notice it is a point to point race whch will pose logistical challenges which we may not be able to overcome. How do people get back to their cars ?
  9. What is this race like ? Is the 50 suitable as a first race for a person who took up riding this year ?
  10. September 18 - Henceforth known as international psychopath day
  11. That enlarged, high lift wing Draco ended up with was meant to provide massive lift, and it worked. But I suspect that it must have contributed to the plane taking MP for a ride. Once the wings had air moving over them asymmetrically, one generating lift and the other not, Draco was stuffed.
  12. Very sad, a remarkable man and a remarkable plane ,but each flight in Draco was a test flight At least he has a nice parts bin to build scrappy out of......

    Cricket......

    Have mixed feelings : Warner c Bairstow b Archer 5 He survived for 7 balls and managed a thick edge through the slips for 4 which broke his admirable series of ducks, but his average dropped further to just over 9 in 9 innings since he bullied a new team member into egregious cheating.

    Warner LBW Broad 0 And his average now dips below 10 for the series and approaching his IQ. Could not be happier.

    Cricket......

    I am not emotionally invested in the Ashes as I'd prefer both teams to lose. I only have one wish and that is that David Warner keeps averaging at or below his IQ. He is now sitting at 11.28 so it is a close run thing
  18. Top of the list, yes. Although the first G&T on a Friday after a long week runs it close.....
  19. Well, we got to Mach2.2 within less than a decade from the prediction , and then development stalled......
  20. Nutrition is also important. I trust you have not neglected filling your carbohydrate stores over the last few months.
  21. If a wing came off it would have started spinning. I suppose that centrifugal force may have prevented them from getting to a door in time.

    And the best is that even if we won nothing else, losing to us got Aus into the game with England. Until then they were scheduled to play NZ in the semis, something which they would have preferred to playing England at Edgebaston where Eng have a perfect record in recent years.....
  23. I watched a documentary on the long-range RAF bombing raid on the Port Stanley runway at the start of the Falklands war by a single obsolete Vulcan bomber. The missing component needed to recommission the air-to-air refuelling system was found full of stompies on a crew room, having been used as an ashtray for years.... ps: If you haven't seen it, take a look below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBJ99bIhAVk
  24. Done now !
  25. since And it looks like he was travelling with MD through the night and they are arriving at the dam together. I am sure that Mart has gone back over the last night he spent in the Hawequas mountains and has recce'ed the perfect route. It must be lekker to ride it together
