  1. I bought these for the in-laws to use as daily monitors and to count steps when they walk the dog And then I bought one of these for myself as my daily watch, lasts about 5 days on a charge and I use in on the IDT to monitor HR for Vitality
  2. I'm not sure what tweets you're talking about, but my guess Vern was getting a bit op lip for the turned down run at the end of the Bess over resulting in two wickets the over after. Pretorius was struggling against Stokes and they could have rotated the strike, but didn't. Correct answer down below
  3. I love how I've dropped from Diamond to Silver banking overnight, without having changed a single thing on my side
  4. They might just be out of stock due to the holidays and suppliers shutting down. I'm sure I saw at my local just yesterday.
  5. I honestly don't know, I just noticed it one day. It's probably linked to your Vitality Money status? I made sure that I filled in all the info, submitted my supporting documentation, do my goals as they become available - that sort of thing. I'm also on a Platinum Card, with a Gold Status. Edit:
  6. I used to have the FNB-backed Discovery Card, and got moved over to a Discovery Bank Credit Card. I don't have a cheque account with them. I recently booked flights and noticed the additional discount (with the caveat that it had to be paid with the Disco Card, but it appears there is a loophole above)
  7. At the moment I get an additional 6% discount (41% total) on local flights due to my card.
  8. I think if they ask for additional docs it's the same as having an audit (i.e. to verify). I always contribute my annual R33K and I've only once been required to submit substantiating documentation (which included RA's, medical, travel log book, other investments as well), and that was the time I got chosen for an audit.
  9. Only if you get chosen for an audit, I believe.
  10. Really? I've been to a Discovery Store the past two years, but in the past I had no issues, and the fiance is still going to Dischem and her stuff is usually showing by the time she gets back in the office.
  11. Yup, if the past 5 weeks have taught me anything it's to have appropriate insurances in place. I was in the same camp as Frosty, and felt like this was a huge amount of money I'm throwing away each month as I'm very healthy, rarely buy medication, etc. etc. And then I fell through the roof of a Jojo tank and fractured my hip and elbow. R130K for the hospital account, and still weeks of rehab that lies ahead. Would not have been able to afford these expenses out of pocket, well, that's a lie. I would have, but would have done irreversible damage to years of savings.

    Agreed: Coincidentally the last time he's won the world championship

    Hah, that looks looks like a Honda Salad Box.

    Officially started at 11am our time, but the pit lane tarmac was at a balmy 0.2C, and apparently the tires only start working once track temp hits 11C, so we're not going to see bikes for while still probably.

    In total, Marc Marquez finished 8.205s off the win this year across all the races he didn't win (excluding Austin). Edit: And his total winning margin was 42.372s Edit 2: And if you take out the two races Marc lost against Vinales (7.913s), his 2nd place position was only 0.292s behind across all other races
  16. Landing from the south today, I was hoping for a northerly approach so I could watch from the bedroom window
  17. Super thankful for my medical aid at the moment. Had a bit of a fall at work and managed to fracture my hip and elbow. 3 hours in surgery, 3 nights in hospital, coming in at just under R130K
  18. Man, I still recall many, many years ago when they were at Waterkloof. The noise that thing made was just unbelievable. And also, when we walked up (I must have been like 10 at the time), this American in a full on Texan accent looked at me and said, "It's a B1-B, it's bohmer". Loved it.

    Gotta remember that Philip Island is one of the all time "equaliser" tracks, where it's way more about the rider and less about the machine. I mean, Patch is correct, and Honda has confirmed it. This year's bike was built for Marc, in a sense. They knew they had to get more power, but they knew that made the bike more unstable, but they knew if there was one guy who'd be able to ride around those issues, it'd be Marc, so they gave him all the power they could. Like they said, even the best rider in the world can't make any difference on the straight if you have a power deficit. Marc had to make up all the lost ground on the brakes last year, and crashed a lot as a result of it. This year, not so much. The Honda is by no means the best bike on the grid, but they've got the best guy to extract the maximum out of that bike. He's taken 375 out of a possible 425 points this year so far, which just seams insane. HRC is ONE point behind the Ducati team, ONE. Jorge has scored 23 of those total points. Just crazy. Steven, you can see Brad is back on the old bike with the wide catfish mouth, where as Martin was on the one with the smaller intake.
  20. Oh sweet baby cheeses I wish I was a schoolboy again https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news-amp/kawasaki-zx-25r-unveiled-at-tokyo-motor-show-414617
  21. Oh, my excluding you from the caution list is because it seems like you're the only Disco customer to hit all the goals all the time. Me, I'm definitely not one of those customers.
  22. Caution to those (except Gerald) looking to grab onto the iPhone offer
  23. I was so miffed when I found out it was an extra $20 to go on-board the Concorde and only via a 60-minute tour.
