  7. No man... sheeeez..... I'm never flying to Schipol.... Even better, I'm not coming back to this fred... And I'm driving to Croatia next year.
  8. There's something else "sitting far out like that."...
  9. There used to be a pharmacy in Groenkloof in Pta, they sold Groen Mamba for colic. Best stuff ever. We once drove from barberton to Pretoria just for that when we ran out.

    Was still a 9.98 Maybe if they run more races in the wrong direction....
  11. I also want to know...?
  12. Also: take the gravel road from Dullstroom to Tonteldoos. Turn left just before Tonteldoos to Laersdrift. Then turn left on tar R55 past Laersdrift, left again on R33 Groblersdal/Stoffberg(tar), left again in Stoffberg to Belfast. About 7 km out you turn left on gravel, and then right at the split. You will then do Korff's Neck, just after turn right to Dullstroom and enjoy a further 15km solid (gentle'ish) climb back.
  13. Brits did plead guilty. It was Akker's first time, but Brits' third... he's actually lucky he did not get the full 6.

  16. I heard on news Boeing has grounded all 737 MAX planes. Apparently the satelite images of the flight pattern of the Ethiopian crash was the same as the Lion Air one...
  17. Not a chance in this house. Rather all of us at once than one left behind...
  18. Jeepz... I read all these comments about the wind and and and.... I been of the bike now for 7 weeks with a snapped achilles. I would gladly walk the CTCT carrying my bike if the wind is too strong just to be there.
  19. WHAT??? Holy moly.... I got one laying under my work bench. Scrounged it form an old neighbour's garage when he moved to old age place plenty time ago...
  20. OP, sorry for your loss. If a person dies of unnatural causes, there has to be a formal legal enquiry as to the death. That happens either through a criminal prosecution, or, an inquest. If the police is of the opinion that there is not enough evidence for a criminal prosecution, there has to be an inquest (same thing as what is proceeding with that 17 year old girl who was found dead in her house without hands & arms few years back). Purpose of the inquest is for the presiding officer to ascertain how the person died and if someone caused the death of the person. If he finds no, then it stops there. (there are review procedures after that, but for purpose hereof it's irrelevant) If his finding is positive, or, if he is not able on the evidence before him to make a finding, that the matter is referred to the DPP, who must then make a decision on whether to prosecute or not. If the DPP decides to prosecute, the person responsible is (usually) summoned to appear in court, and the prosecution proceeds. If the DPP refuses to prosecute after the inquest, then he(she) can be requested to issue a "nolle prosequi" (I refuse to prosecute) certificate. A private prosecution may then follow within three months - this is where Gerrie Nel comes in and that's why Afriforum employed him. So the fact that the police says there is not evidence to prosecute does not necessarily means that everything is over now. (Clear as mud?)

    Cricket......

    We have a couple of problems in my humble opinion: 1. Serious batting problems, which I think stem from the amount of white ball cricket the boys are playing... Neither of the Durban/PE pitches were bad in any sense, slow yes, but not bad... SL's bowling were quite good, but not extraordinary or outstanding. (I think our bowling were at best good- they kept us in both games, apart for the last day in PE) Except for 2/3 dismissals, our top order got themselves out... 1.Elgar has always been seriously susceptible to out swingers early on, and they've worked him out. 2.Markram is getting there, but he seems to loose concentration sometimes. 3.Amla - well, he's is class, but obviously so out of sorts at the moment that his technique seems to change from game to game. 4. Bavuma - he was very unlucky twice in four innings, but he has the balls and technique to stay there. 5.Faf - I think the captaincy influences his batting. He's a real fighter and gritter, and I suspect that statistics might tell a different story, but I think the pressures are not good for him. 6. De Kock - back on form. 7. This is a real problem at the moment.... If the above six do what they're supposed to, this will be easy. Batter who can bowl some (Kallis) Vern is the man in tests, but for me he together with Amla are beyond their best- he is a killer with the shiny new ball, but beyond that? And he is becoming increasingly injury prone. (Question: Why don't they play him in ODI's? He is devastating with a new ball and can use a bat.) The bowlers in Tests are sorted. Quicks we have good options - Steyn/Rabada/Ngidi/Olivier and others plus a spinner on the right pitches. 2. Captain. I don't think (and I'm waiting to be keel-hauled..) that Faf is a good Test captain. It's as though he can make good decisions in the shorter versions, but the moment he has to think beyond two innings something goes missing... there was just absolutely no other plan on the last day yesterday - when whatever they planned didn't work out, there was just nothing else... 3. We're missing real gritters - what we have is a bunch of "stars", but we need a Brian MacMillan, a Fanie de Villiers, a Gary Kirsten. None of them were superstars, but they kept games together. M2cw.
  24. Nope.... 2nd hand, but in excellent condition.
