Stretch Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Each to their own.My sister had all his albums.I am sure that contributed to me leaving home You would probably find Polly Samson's book a good read.There were a number of webcasts with her and David Gilmour about Leonard Cohen I will give it a look I find him an incredibly interesting character. If anyone wants to get an inkling into his mind then listen to this interview. It truly is a great listen I get where he may come across as depressing, but then I have always been attracted to solemn music. ironically 2 songs that I really love are both about the passage through life. REM's Find the River, and Leonard Cohens - Dance me to the end of Love - which is just an amazingly uplifting song Dance me to your beauty with a burning violinDance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely inLift me like an olive branch and be my homeward doveDance me to the end of loveDance me to the end of love Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are goneLet me feel you moving like they do in BabylonShow me slowly what I only know the limits ofDance me to the end of loveDance me to the end of love Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and onDance me very tenderly and dance me very longWe're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us aboveDance me to the end of loveDance me to the end of love Dance me to the children who are asking to be bornDance me through the curtains that our kisses have outwornRaise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is tornDance me to the end of love Dance me to your beauty with a burning violinDance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely inTouch me with your naked hand or touch me with your gloveDance me to the end of loveDance me to the end of loveDance me to the end of love Blokman, Delarey, Skylark and 2 others 5

Bicycle Yard WESTERN CAPE Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I've just been wondering if I am a little impatient here? I decided before I act I will post it to the wise oracles of the interwebs to see if I need to sharpen my pitchfork and or if I can stand down soldier. Here's my scenario: Bought a 29er fork from a fellow hubber on the 26th of Jan 2021. Images showed a decent Fox CTD 32 Evo with remote lockout and thru axle.Fork arrives on Friday the 29th and once I open it it has no thru axle. I query this and it was said that it was forgotten and will be sent on the Monday (no worries, I have also done this in the past - omissions happen)Saturday I start to build the bike and everything goes quite smooth until I try to fit the front wheel - the wheel does not fit! This is weird, I jump onto the Fox website with the ID code: CFKK - https://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bikeLow and behold this fork is not a 29er as advertised its actually a 650B. I contact the seller again and inform him of said error on the Saturday afternoon at 15:20. He replies at 21:20 asking what the problem is. I send him the code and link to their website and tell him that the fork is actually a 650B and not a 29er. His reply: "Hmmmm dit maak nie sin nie".On Sunday I send him my banking details and ask him to refund me so that I can return the fork to him. Apparently he owns a service center so I figured he can use or sell it on again as I don't have a use for a 650B fork. He replies by saying that he'll chat to me on Monday, fine everyone should rest and spend time with family, I respect that.Monday morning at 10:00 I send him a message asking about the refund, no reply.Tuesday (yesterday) I send him another message asking him about the process going forward. He informs me that I can sell the fork on, at this point he has forgotten to send me the thru axle and also the fact that he sold me a 650B fork as a 29er.I remind him that this will be quite bad for him if I now have to sell the fork on to someone else as I will have to go and purchase a new thru axle and I will have to give him a bad rating here on the hub. Here's my words and his reply:Ek gaan moet 'n thru axle gaan koop om hom weer heel te maak. En jy besef dat ek jou 'n slegte rating gaan gee omdat jy aan my 'n 650B vurk verkoop het as 'n 29er sonder 'n axle His reply: As by wil dryg go ahead , ek Sal def vir jou terug betaal hey Maar lyk my jy wil nou baas speel. My reply: Nope, ek speel niks baas nie, ek behandel jou nog heeltyd ordentelik en ek is ook nie negatief nie. As jy wil hê dat ek die vurk na jou toe moet terug stuur dan gee my die Postnet adres waarnatoe ek hom kan stuur en doen asb die eft soos ek Saterdag gevra het. I've never played boss in any way, I mean I'm not even angry, the fork is in bloody good condition, part from the fact that it's the wrong wheel size . I've already given him my banking details and asked him for the address where I can send this fork back to. This went unanswered. His reply to the above was then: He will be coming to PTA over this weekend and he will sort it out then. I then asked that he then pay me 50% of the fork's value so that I don't have to sit and wait until the weekend before having this resolved. This also went unanswered. My question to the wise oracles are: Am I just being impatient or does it seem like his playing for time and has no intention to refund me and or take the fork back? Should I just add a rating, buy a new thru axle, list the fork and move on? Thanks guys, sorry about the essayNo you aren't being unreasonable, if anything. He is being a prick. Skylark 1
tinmug Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I'm looking forward to the next instalment of this series. Read the WhatsApp messages (what was censored?). No, I do not believe Robert was unreasonable in the slightest way. He was courteous enough to draw Morné's attention to the discussion, where the man could have taken a golden opportunity to defend himself and his his fledgeling business. I know this: I will not have my bicycle serviced with anyone who broadcasts countless messages with zero care for structure and spelling (I get he is a second-language speaker, but FFS spell your own name right!). Robert, hope you come right.
