  1. What year is this? 1932? We have events that all can enter, men and women. Now they bring out events that are for women only. And everyone is supposed to be jovial about it. And sponsors line up to sign up. Imagine now a race organiser pens a "Mens Only" event. Calls of sexism all around, how dare you sideline the women, you evil gynophobe! Also begs the question, why is there a Black Miss USA pageant where only black women may enter, and then a Miss USA pageant where all races are allowed to enter. Having a White Miss USA pageant would be racist and prejudiced of course. Spare me.
  2. Stomach flu is a bitch. When I get it, I eventually just lay in bed. Do not move, do not pass go. Do not speak to me. Leave me alone. Proper home made chicken soup is all that helps.
  3. 1x multi vitamin, 2x magnesium caps, 2x omega 3 caps. Every day, and then just keep your hands clean. But still, do what you want or take whatever "Viral Guard" type product, if the cold and flu wants you, it'll get you. I've been lucky this year so far.
  4. Look the more I've been reading up on Snakes and following Facebook groups the more I am against killing them, but blixim. 15 of these in my yard and I'm burning the house down.
  5. Hope he didn't kill it.
  6. A few weeks back I was riding with my father, sister, and a friend of hers. Very slowely just cruising a local bike parks "easy" route (Eastern Cape). The friend is riding in front, I'm about 3rd wheel. She screams suddenly and keeps riding. I pass my sister and get up to where she was about 15 meters ahead. As I get there I see a Boomslang at least 2.5m long SPEED over the long grass away from us. The friend just nicked its tail as it was crossing the path. The snake speeds away from us and stops underneath a pine tree, with the leaves and branches starting at least 1.5m off the ground. The Boomslang "stands up", and rockets up into the tree as if someone was pulling it up with a rope. Was amazing to see. 15 minutes later... My sister is now leading, we still going very slow. She screams as she just-just misses a nice fat puffy, about 1 meter long. She and her friend races off. I stop to look at the snake. Casually sailing away, not a care in the world. Having seen two snakes in the space of 15 minutes was quite enough, we made for the car park. And this was after riding this trail for over 5 years and not ever seeing one snake. Now two in one ride. I took the family to Plett for a holiday last week and we visited Lawnwood Snake Sanctuary, a very nice place and very imformative (http://www.lawnwoodsnakesanctuary.co.za/). When we got there my 5 year old daughter didn't even want to approach the glass cabinets, ain't no way. By the end of the tour she was holding the "lui slange" and other snakes in her hand, after she saw me doing it. Snakes are probably the most misunderstood animal out there. The guide jumped into a snake pit full of puffies, all around him. None of them bothered to give him the time of the day. He even kicked his leg towards one a few times. If anything they just want to get away. So if you don't mess when them, they won't mess with you. If they don't feel threatened they more than likely won't try to bite you. The oke was kicking at the snake and the puffy was like, meh. I'm going on a snake course on Saturday, learn a bit more.
  7. I agree. http://africanreptiles-venom.co.za/2015/02/13/ringkals-rinkhals-hemachatus-haemachatus/ http://africanreptiles-venom.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mini-rinkhals-black1.jpg
  8. Ok, I'm a "Chinarello" fan, vowed never to buy a brand name again as I don't see the need. But damn... that dayglo coloured one... YOH.
  9. Mine was something like this. http://addtext.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Yao-Ming-Blank-Funny-Meme-Template-241x300.jpg
  10. I have lots of respect for Theresa. Especially after a recent interview of hers I read: "For Ralph, training has to find its place between work and being a mom, too: “This is a juggling session. Training has to take place early in the mornings, over lunch times and even late at night sometimes. I plan my training around the needs of my children, as they will always come first. I would rather suffer the early cold mornings than them have less time with me." What an athlete. But more importantly... What a parent, what a MOM.
  11. If I were ever to be caught doping, intentional or by "vloek" by mistake due to some kind of food contamination or by a TUE confusion, I would honestly feel way too *** about it to ever show my face in a race every again knowing what people think about me.
  12. Any after a few years of owning that R200k bike, what are you going to be able to sell it for? Sure, R50k would be a bargain, but how many people would spend that on a used bike anyway?
  13. R195,000? I got one response. http://ci.memecdn.com/696/8828696.jpg
  14. Agree. Sick people should go home. Rather cost the company the absence of 1 person, than getting 11 other people sick. But no, everyone wants to be a hero.
  15. From the start of the year we had a oke constantly coughing and clearing his throat in the office. Drove me crazy. This was while I was prepping for a 100 miler trail run at the end of Feb. I told the guy a few weeks after he started, dude, maak 'n plan. Seriously. No man, I just got viral bronchitis. I'm thinking, FML. The guy is sitting 4 meters away from me in a sealed office - and I'm trying to stay healthy. 100 miler came and went, luckily stayed healthy. Then we hear oh that dude, had (still has) TB. Nice. I got a bottle of industrial strength hand cleaner on my desk. Clean my hands after I touch anything. Even hand cleaner my cutlery before using it.
  16. Yes, Section 16 Part 2 is pretty much all Malema says.
  17. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, which includes ­a. freedom of the press and other media; b. freedom to receive or impart information or ideas; c. freedom of artistic creativity; and d. academic freedom and freedom of scientific research. Check, gave my opinion. The right in subsection (1) does not extend to ­a. propaganda for war; b. incitement of imminent violence; or c. advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm. Didn't do any of that. So anyone hinting that what I said should be removed or edited - will actually be infringing on MY rights. Back to random posts then.
  18. Heard of freedom of speech? Just because YOU or anyone else for that matter doesn't share my opinion, doesn't remove my right to say it.
  19. Be white and fight for white people's rights = Nazi racist Be black and fight for black people's rights = noble freedom fighter activist.
  20. Like it or not, but this man has spoken more truth than most people. Helter Skelter, the race war... open your eyes. He was off with a few things, but the crux is pretty on point. I've watched pretty much all his interviews.

  22. You know who these chics in blue are, right?
  23. After over 20 years in the sport, I am clearly getting too poor to keep getting the nice stuff. My eyes start watering if I have to lay out over R20k for a bike. Probably why I hand down parts to myself from previous bikes to keep the nice stuff rolling longer.
