  1. From the following, I'd say there are only two teams in SA that can really talk:
  2. Jeesh! At 3.25 min/km you'd be a pretty competitive runner too! (he says while turning dark green with envy)
  3. I recieved an AARTO notification in the mail the other day. After checking www.paycity.co.za a few times the fine finally showed up there, but with no info, only that I was caught somewhere in Pretoria and the date. I phoned the AARTO call centre in Pretoria and they sent me the complete thing by email and sure as sh!t there's a nice little photo of my car. However, I know the area where I got caught (pretorius street, heading towards the highway) and I am always very careful there. I am sure I did not drive as fast as they claim, but what to do? The buggers are clever too. If I pay without making a fuss (within 32 days), the fine is R250. After that - R500! My first impulse is to pay, but I am sure I am being screwed. I find it very strange that the photo they sent me is very closely cropped around my car. It sort of makes me wonder how many other cars were in the picture that could have been speeding... Time for all you armchair legal eagals to flex those judicial muscles and get me out of paying
  4. Damn! That can't be good for you
  5. 6min/km is a nice running pace. If you could do that for 42km's, you end with a pretty decent marathon time
  6. ...and cycling is like running, only sitting down! Face it, 95% of cycling enthusiasts choose cycling over running because it seems like less effort and the gadgets are cooler.
  7. I used creatine for a year or so and honestly can't say that I had any side effects. I can say that I had a lot more power when using the creatine (whether this was psychological or physiological I don't know). Using creatine in conjunction with a controlled diet and lots of weight training and cardio, I lost a lot of body fat, toned very nicely and managed to avoid injury. I found that I recovered quicker from heavy training as well. I wouldn't recommend using it too extensively if you are into endurance type sports because it does bulk you up a bit, but I found that especially USN's Creatine X4 worked really well for me.
  8. Geez! Following all of the powerband, magic diesel and Professor Doctor Lungu threads, I think I am going to build a working prototype of a perpetual motion engine I once heard about. It works like this: You take 1 x cat and 1 x piece of peanut butter toast and strap them together back to back. It is common knowledge that when you drop a cat, it lands on its feet and when you drop a piece of peanut butter toast, it falls on the peanut butter side. So if you take this cat and peanut butter toast combination and drop it, it will never hit the floor. Instead, it will hover about 2 feet off the floor, in a perpetual spinning motion as the two poles (cat & toast) attempt to honour common law. Converting the kinetic energy from this perpetual motion engine to electricity could mean the end to SA's electricity supply problems and, since the source is completely organic and no combustion is involved, this is the cleanest form of electricity known to man.
  9. Dude, the moment these guys began advocating the rape of babies and virgins to cure aids, they lost all possible hope of having any credibility with me (minute as that hope might have been). I know a sangoma in personal capacity and can tell you that while some of the herbal remedies she prepares have anecdotal evidence supporting some health benefits, most of what I have seen and heard is a crock of sh!t. Not for me thanks
  10. And with this comment, this thread went from being mildly amusing to being funny as hell
  11. MBP, as I stated in the 32GI thread, I will try anything once. Where can I get a Bad Pie? Does the clenbuterol content vary depending on the type of Bad Pie? What would you recommend as a training day/race day breakfast and at which point during the training/ race should I take the Bad Pie?
  12. I only drank water during the race. For a longer race(2:30 hours or longer) I would probably drink some coke towards the end just for that last bit of kick. I should add that I hate using gels - they taste like puree'd dog poop and they generally make me feel worse than I did before using them.
  13. Each person is different I guess. I recently began using 32GI (for running) and it works great! I have Future Life for breakfast, drink my 32GI about 30 - 40 minutes before my run/ race and I have never felt better! On Saturday I ran a PB 10km averaging around 4min/k for the last 4 km's and I felt great after.
  14. Ever see the movie Stepford Wives? It's like that - only creepier!
  15. The Hub is full of very aggresive people! I also subscribe to the runner's world forum. It is full of people passionate about running. They freely share ideas, laugh about common mistakes and banter in a friendly manner, its all so extremely f@cking boring, which is why I spend 90% of my chat time on the hub and 10% there, even though I consider myself a runner who also cycles...
  16. Sadly no, that one is still patent pending, but I will gladly sell some of it to you once it has registered
  17. I could give you the Coca Cola recipe too, but I have stuff to do this weekend and getting assassinated now would really mess things up for me
  18. Is it hard work being such a dweeb? While you are at it, why don't you make your own shower gel? Triclosan (and) Propylene Glycol - 0.30 Sodium Laureth Sulfate - 28.60 Decyl Glucoside - 5.00 Coco Glucoside (and) Glyceryl Oleate 2.50 Water qs to 100 Cocamidopropyl Betaine - 8.50 Polyquaternium-7 - 1.25 FD&C Green No.8 - 0.05 Liquid Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate (and) Buteth-3 - 0.05 Phenoxyethanol (and) Methylparaben (and) Ethylparaben 0.5 Sodium Hydroxide adjust to pH 6.0
  19. Probably p!ssed because your bike costs more than their car...
  20. You sir, are evil! Tar, in paradise? You should be tarred and feathered for such a comment!
  21. Damn, imagine having a momentary lapse of talent (something which seems to happen a lot with me) on a paved single track! Dirt is bad enough! now we'll have to contend with broken bones and roadie style roasties! Not nice!
  22. Perhaps it was his wife and three of her friends. Perhaps the little sowing circle was driving him to alcohol and ladies of low morals... You know the saying - no matter how beautiful a woman is, somewhere there is a guy who is sick of her sh!t.
  23. I have plenty of positive suggestions. For example, I suggest that in future it would be better for you to elaborate somewhat rather than make ambiguous statements that can be interpreted as being offensive and combative. Also, cycling has much bigger cardiovascular benefits than jumping to conclusions.
  24. Hence my original comment: Why do we need anything more than is needed to intercept illegal fishermen?
  25. Unfortunately we have limited resources and need to focus our attention and those resources on the problems we can address effectively and that will create benefit (and increase the available resource base) in the short term. I agree that smelters and other similar technologies aren't as exciting as say cutting edge electronics industries, but they work, are reletavile cheap and create massive employment opportunities. Also, they save us money and will allow us to improve the value of our exports, without having to increase the volume of exports. What I was trying to highlight before, is that our government has made a few spectacularly bad decisions in the area of industrial and/or technology investment. Lets use the PBMR project as a case in point. Why dump R9 Billion into a technology that they knew from the onset would never produce an economically viable product? Furthermore, if there really was an interrest in building a knowledge based economy, why would the governement allow so many skilled engineers, scientists and trades people to leave? If I was the one pulling the strings, I'd be trying my best to incentivise these people to stay and I certainly wouldn't have allowed people within my own party to threaten or belittle these highly skilled assests.
