  1. Would be interresting to see of the 150 000 odd users, how many are active on a regular basis. How many different members of viewing every day on avg and how many are posting on avg every day.
  2. Some funny chirps while refueling
  3. Ironic to see a German flag on the bottom of the tail.
  4. I actually don't like keeping any bird in a cage. I love pets but keeping a bird in a cage is just for me personally wrong. Birds should be flying.
  5. Just want to get this thread back on track again
  6. These always seems to be a bit of activity there. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/32363-pretoria-danger-areas/page-32 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/158327-klapperkop-groenkloof-safety-update/
  7. Thats something only your wife or pets can answer... lucky for us
  8. Similar thing happened a few years ago to a cousin of mine. He got killed in a car accident somewhere between JHB and Vereeniging. Theives stole his wallet with ID and all other valuables. Police got to the scene and could not identify the body. Family reported him missing and after searching all hospitals and morgues between JHB and Vereeniging they finally managed to find his body in a morgue. Took about three days.
  9. I haven't spoken to my wife in almost two years .... I don't like to interrupt her while she is talking.
  10. Its a beaut!
  11. Chuck Yeager. Absolute Legend. If there was someone with balls of steel then it was him.
  12. The only way I would know how serious that problem is, was by participating in the off topic discussions here. Had it not been for that I would have been oblivious about it to be honest. The discussion here is like a yard stick for me about whats going on in the rest of the world with people like minded to me.
  13. Not offended at your post at all. Just the highlighted part I am not sure of. I see European company adds on my side. I am sure that is money comming in from outside of SA to Matt. Could Matt confirm this? What ads do the other expats see?
  14. Well that just it. I simply do not have the time nor the energy to spend on multiple platforms just for chatting. If the off topic dicussion are removed I won#t move to another forum. But I only need to ask so many questions on the hub that are cycling related, and on most things you will find an answer just by searching. 2020 saw very little wrt races and local races. The commuting thread was virtually standing still as most worked home office. Only towards the end were there the Grand Tours and most spent their time on there. Nobody sat with their fat asses on the tube of a canyon so we did not even have that debate this year. So the only real big discussions this year happen to be the US elections and Corona.
  15. Not sure about cycling but have seen aviation forums and some other forums with off topic sections where other discussion are done.
  16. Can't help but wonder, are there more problem makers in the Chit Chat forums than there are scammers on theHub? It has been posted here earlier that in general the discussion are not a problem. So if it is only a few causing problems why not just suspend the accounts for x days and then that is that?
  17. My GSD insist on lying on the ice cold balcony.
  18. Bha ha . Well I think those raptors have a better chance of survival with Baldrick than with me. All my previous attempts to save birds failed rather tragically.
  19. Wow. Wishing you all the best.
  20. The friendly Polish folks

    Who remembers?

    My oldest almost only eats that for breakfast. Luckily there is a online SA shop in the Netherlands where we buy our stock every month.
  22. Oh that happens with girls as well. With us it did not happen at a mall but at a company Christmas function for my wife. One moment the youngest (think she was just a year max two old) was there at the jumping castle the next moment ... gone. Searching frantickly aournd me I rememebered that there was a paticular staircase that she was interrested in before we went to the jumping castle. I ran to the staircase to find her that she went up the stairs to the first floor and climbed on the railing. If she had lost her balance she would have fallen at least 4 meters down. Without trying to scare her and frighten her I just ran up the stairs as quicly as I can and calmly told her to hold tight till I got her and pulled her off. Almost died 7 deaths there.
  23. As I said I think the trump thread should fade away after 21 Jan next year. So should the Covid thread but that might take a bit longer.
  24. Must be a hubber out looking for shyte
  25. We still have more than a full month to go. Maybe you should wait till January 1 before posting it.
