  1. I bought a 2nd hand 26er spez epic comp to start off on. In the back of my mind I knew that in a few years I might want to change to a different wheel size or go carbon, but in the meantime Im happy. I love technical riding and the bike does the job. I dont see buying a 26er now as a problem, I have three kids and they will all get great use in the following years learning to ride on this bike.
  2. Just found this thread...it has made my day. My hubs and I are responsible for the 10km event of our local bike race, and I marshal a small bridge before a steep climb home. I love the way the kids come past with Chariots of Fire blazing in their heads giving it their all! Funniest is mom or dad breathless tagging on behind!
  3. I think she needs some mince from Woolworths!
  4. Did Howick trails for the first time yesterday......discovered why "Rush-a-lots" has three down arrows! Poeped myself...but did not prang.......Gen, I think you and I should celebrate when we hit 100 incident free days!
  5. Thompson and Morgan, but they wont deliver to sa, lots of legal trade agreements nonsense! Had mine delivered to my sister in wales and then she forwarded to me...... To late to plant now...wait for spring....Ill send u some seed soon, Ill have lots!!
  6. Decorative, I like to try grow something weird everynow and then!
  7. I tend to disagree with your theory about women talking..... The girls on fb talk alot less nonsense than some of u blokes here..... ....granted its more fun here!
  8. Noooo, not me, I chose the name before I knew the book existed!
  9. Forgiven!! I was thinking more along the lines of a head shot of Justin Bieber, but this will do!
  10. some people swear by it, there is a detailed day to day lunar calendar in the Gardener magazine.... when to plant, prune, mow....etc. Ive never done it, I do what I do when I have a chance, too busy
  11. Ha Ha!! To say sorry u can change your avatar. I suffer from photo sensitive epilepsy (not)
  12. My fossil. Was given to me as a 21st gift by my hubby. We were only married a year and a half, and had a baby on the way, and not much bucks......and he went out and spent money we did not have. I initially was quite mad...wont trade this for anything!
  13. Seen it this morn......its been a while
  14. Nee sies dokter, praat jy altyd so met die meisies?
  15. I hear you, last year my brinjals suffered so badly with red spidermite I eventually pulled the whole lot out. The trick is not to give up....maybe give replanting tomatoes a miss, they are warm weather crops and its now at the end of their season....
  16. Mixed lettuce, mangetout and "bright lights" spinach. I grow them on this stand otherwise the chooks will shred the lot. The white plastic is a 2l milk bottle used as a funnel to water into the resevoir at the bottom of the pot. Only need to water once a week. broccoli cauliflower and cabbage. Dinosaur gourds\calabash, bought the seed online from England.
  17. Seriously, monkeys are impossible, they will rip out every plant and just nibble each one! plastic snakes dont work, tried that when we lived in pmb. They will even tear your shadecloth if you build a green house.....maybe try an aviary-like structure with chicken wire. Option B is grow lights in your garage!
  18. Thats just what happened to hubbys new falke socks when they were left to dry on the bottom rung of the clothes horse........... then they become "my" dogs and no longer "ours"
  19. No, she is not...and if u dont have a wife, there is no reason she cant also sleep on your bed!
  20. Putting the kids bikes to good use!?
  21. No, I adopted them two years apart, the smaller one is half the size of the other, fully grown. They are now 1.5 and 3 years old. They bonded immediately. Both were terrified at first, Jemima had never felt grass under her feet, kept looking under her paws....and Jenny would wet herself everytime I picked up anything with a handle.
  22. My Collies, Jenny and Jemina. Always together and mimic everything the other does! Both SPCA rescues. Too clever for words and because of the herding instinct, they don't chase my pekin chickens.
  23. If u got school going kids, good luck! genuine, especially if they are in preprimary! They just keep bringing the germs home! Wash hands often and get a dishwasher!
  24. Naaaah, I was only joking..... You guys wont see me I'm in the bush on my MTB
