  1. agreed, and Morph
  2. Mother buffer
  3. Especially when the file name includes the words sizzling hot
  4. People, especially from big cities and developed countries have no comprehension of nature and wild animals. They think of wildlife parks, game reserves etc. as theme parks. As a guide back in my day, I saw it often. I remember having a Spanish group on game drive, where at a lion sighting, one of the gentlemen asked if he could get off the Land Rover to get a better photograph. Then there is the story I heard of an Asian guest, where on arriving at the main lodge high up on a hillside with an endless view, asked how long it took the staff to plant all the trees.
  5. Crazy stupid. Apparently the lady getting taken in the video survived. It was the second women to get out the car that was killed by another tiger.
  6. I think the time has come to ditch the DSTV (well maybe not all of it). Vodacom is rolling out fibre in our estate , with the cheapest package being R599/month for 100GB on a 10MBPS line. This seems to be about the best deal that I have seen, as it includes a free wi-fi router and installation. I don't think there are other charges such as line rentals etc. In your guys experience, is 100GB/month sufficient for some live streaming and downloading movies and series? The 10MBPS line is more than enough AFAIK. Has anybody got experience with Vodacom Fibre?
  7. Nice. I see they produce 27.5 and 29er versions of the Ranger Frameset. Here is the 27.5 version
  8. Not seeing it
  9. I think you're on the wrong forum, here, try this... http://fulltimecaravanners.co.za/full-timers-forum
  10. I reckon the one that got an A+ didn't have people of the likes of Zuma, Trump etc. and work weeks were 2 days long and weekends 5 days... and bikes don't cost an arm and a leg.... I want to live in that child's science project.
  11. Jeepers, tough crowd
  12. Chromag Primer 29/27+, 160mm Fox 36
  13. Not the first time I've seen that trick go wrong, so would never trust any "magician" with that trick. Especially with that hair style.
  14. True that! I had to switch channels about half way through that first half, because I was either going to do harm to my health, or the tv.
  15. That YT Tales of the Mob team video was a bit of a snooze fest compared to the Syndicates vid. Some nice filming in between, but boring!
  16. Ha ha, that's why you have to be extra careful when motorboating in cold weather
  17. Jeepers. That's like refering to Tendai Mtawarira as "Poodle"
  18. 1500, 1900 and 3500 Euros depending on spec
  19. Holy crap! That was insane.
  20. I know, I nearly had an oopsy in my pants. The review says this is the perfect N+1 bike. I could see this as my perfect "just one" bike.

  22. Is that what you get shin strikes from? Going too fast? No wonder I'm not getting any
  23. I can't say for sure, as I have never tried 5-10s, 2FOs etc. but the Hi-Tecs are probably not as stiff as dedicated flat shoes, but probably stiffer than the running shoes you are using. I'm not sure what else could be causing the numbness in your foot. I think I read somewhere that smaller platform pedals can cause numbness due to the small toe not being placed on the pedal, but off the edge and that causes a pressure point???? Or something like that. There was some discussion about them here https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/143140-flat-pedal-shoes-other-than-five-ten/?hl=flat+pedal+shoes
  24. Agree. I think Bike James recommended at least 12 rides to get used to flats, although it took me less than that. And you must get the right shoes and pedals. Those bear cage things and running shoes are not going to cut it. You don't even have to break the bank. I waited for Saints to go on special from CWC, and got a pair of Hi-tec Figaros with Vibram soles for R400. Even with that combo I seem to have enough grip on the pedal (with the correct technique)
