Race Organisers - I Hate You!!!!

[Wyatt Earp]

...and I think Joe Low really said it all....

Ja, I like his post, it's kinda like a punch in the face followed by offering a few sweets

Final observation. When I was in school, if I didn't win prize money on the weekend, I didn't have entry fees for the next race. If you're such a hotshot, Fruity, why aren't you funding your stellar cycling career from your winnings?

Organise a no-frills students race yourself....you may find that you find new respect for race organisers.

If you studied a 'silly' BA, perhaps you would know how to express yourself more clearly and without offending as many people. For example, I can't see you flying through English 3 if you 'some it up' as you have. I have never, ever seen anyone make a malapropism with a monosyllabic word - and no, that is not a compliment. Try to 'sum it up' next time, OK?

Please, son, tell us how it is mature to start of with a tantrummy I HATE YOU!!!!! with a juvenile dose of exclamation marks and then to move on to a decidedly unsophisticated insult just several posts later? Because I'm confused; you're the one who looks like a spoilt, delinquent brat from where I'm sitting.

 

 

What's the difference between God and an architect?

 

God doesn't think he's an architect.

 

Okay, that's a bit silly…

A student can only get a job if they are studying something silly like a BA or something.

Since the point of rants has been raised:

<RANT>

Now you're speaking toss. I did a triple major BSc (Physics, Applied Mathematics and

Geophysics) and still held down 3 jobs (research assistant, tut lecturer and bridging

scheme lecturer - AND did army camps!).

 

What you're basically saying is that you're like most of the lazy buggers in this country

who sit around complaining they don't have it all laid on their plate and they want it

given to them (preferably for free).

 

Stop complaining, get off your arse and do something about it. Life ain't easy..

Okay, I think we can safely say that Fruity has been given the Hub equivalent of a PK.

Three dog owners - an actuary, an architect, and a lawyer - sit in a pub with their dogs. The talk turns to who has the smartest pet.

The accountant sets out a complex equation using matchsticks.

"Go Archimedes," the actuary says. The dog leaps onto the bar and, using his nose, moves the matches around to solve the equation, earning himself a dog biscuit for his effort.

"Go Gaudi," says the architect. The dog jumps on the bar and builds a to-scale model of the Notre Dame Cathedral using the matches. The architect gives his dog a biscuit.

"That's nothing," says the lawyer, "go Kafka."

The lawyer's dog screws the other two dogs and steals their biscuits.

 

Guess which one of the three professionals has a BA.

Intern, I think the time has come to draw your attention to this phenomenon.

Anyone who swings their leg over the top tube of a bike, and comes in the top 10 at the 40 k. at Babbas Lodge, is destined to become the next Burry Stander.

If you do the maths...

They say on the walkerville mtb race website that they have in excess of 1700 riders.

Lets say for 1700 riders they charge R130.00 ea

This totals R221 000.00

One of the farms they go through is owned by someone I know and they don't get paid for the access. At the most they get offered 2 free entries (when I tried to get my hands on one of these last year nothing materialised.)

 

I can understand the need to pay the guys working for the day and also make a profit.

If they pay 40 people R500 per day that is R20 000.00 and you pay the trail builders R20 000.00 (thumb suck)...

Maybe they pay the venue R25000.00 for the day?

Why are more of us not organising races?????

 

The profit seems huge - unless I'm missing something...???

Seems u missing alot :

no water on the tables, no tables to put the water on, no medics, no ambulance, no marshals, no advertising, no timing, no medals, tshirts, no prize money. no website, no web master, no one doing subs, and the list goes ooooooooooooooon.

BSc (Physics,

 

But I am shocked to the core, I thought The Hub had only one self proclaimed physicist (yes, self proclaimed)

Have to disagree!!! I'de say it was more like an "OEREWAPPER!!" ( about 5 decibels harder! )

Umm, has the lawyer's dog got a BA degree then?

[Tumbleweed]

Yup. He found it quite easy.

[Handlebar]

Yup. He found it quite easy.

Oh now I get it.... Were those other dogs male or female?
