Jbr Posted May 28, 2020 Share hahaha nothing to do with "cape town time"....though as an ex GP'er I now know both sides of the preconceived perceptions - most of which are untrue. NOW vs NOW-NOW:It's because of how it is used in the Afrikaans language and has been appropriated by the other local languages - probably less successful in this case. "Nou" (now) means what you think....as in imminently. "Nou-nou" (now now) generally denotes a slight delay before starting....as in soon - totally irrational right? But hey, other languages have male and female pots and kettles and toilet paper lol.... if I had to put a timeframe on "now-now"...i'd say it could probably be something ambiguous like "before midday", "before lunch" or "before the end of the day" - depending on when you use it. It doesn't really imply punctuality. It normally never gets used in a way that implies "tomorrow" though. imo very few Afrikaans people even use it in its english appropriated form when switching to over to english, It's clumsiness as a phrase becomes more evident there so we just "talk brits"...Awesome I'll share it to my wife, we finally know why This morning was actually not as bad as the forecast said ! Went out on my MTB to at least be comfortable in that not-so-cold wind ! Glad I didn't settle for a Zwift session ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted May 28, 2020 Share what idiot wears the buff on his head and over his face? Clever folks wear it like a scar pulled up over the mouth and nose.Kleverer folk on the highveld wear two...one under the helmet and down the back of the neck..the other around the neck...tuck into shirt..zip up Toasty! (then later sweaty but it beats being cold!) Edited May 28, 2020 by Mojoman Vetplant, Underachiever, Warthog whisperer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it gets sweaty or you warm up, it's easy to dispose of at a garage dustbin and you can continue your ride.

daveno7 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Cape town is the MOTHER city .... since everything takes at least nine months .... "now" and "now now" are both just indicators of something that may happen in the very distant future ...have you tried living in Ireland ? kind of the same approach...

(then later sweaty but it beats being cold!) Yeah that's what I do when its bitterly cold here in Cape Town. Also have a Seal Skinz Skull CapOr a Casquette under the helmet and buff over the mouth to take the edge off the cold air (not good for asthma) Nose stays open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted May 28, 2020 Share Man it was chilly in JHB this morning. -2 degC on my Polar. Wore 2 x jackets and 2 x buffs. to keep warm.In my neck of the woods we recorded -4'C and we avoided the notoriously cold section on the way to the Modderfontein Nature Reserve. And we have not even hit mid winter. Dressed appropriately and only finger tips got cold. Next time I will wear surgical gloves under winter gloves.

Skubarra Posted May 28, 2020 Share Government Gazzette shows exercising between 06:00 - 18:00 only.I'll post the file shorty. What a weird rule/law? How many people actually train outside in the evenings and very early mornings? It must be a small minority anyway?
