Willehond Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Put it away. I'm choking on my stroopwafel here!!! Legend' date=' my bike is arriving in 6 weeks from the motherland!!! Yes, Germany made the best stiffest, lightest, yet cheapest (and pretty) bike I could find. Who would have thought??? Very excited[/quote']with those features you just described your are most likely lucky that it's not too far to dirve when you have warranty issues! tell us more, give us pics. Nope, it's German, it will be well built from the start! My lips are sealed. Ok, ok, I'll give you a revealing tip. it will be debuting at the Tour this year, maybe even winning it!
TheLegend Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 ah, Milram will be riding Focus bikes, aren't they?
Willehond Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 no idea' date=' a guess would be Storck!? [/quote'] Clearly you have been stuck in the library too long. Go find a copy of Procycling... Ah, the suspense! logging off....
Sammajoor Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hendrik............ My simpatie met jou gesin... ek is ook bang dat so iets met my vrou sal gebeur.. Ek is hier en sy is alleen by die huis. Dit is nie maklik om so ver van die huis af te wees nie, die geld is goed, maar is dit op die ou end die moeite werd. Dis alleenheid kan nie altyd beskryf word nie, en as jy wel by die huis is, is 4 weke ook maar net solank. Sterkte vir jou swaer en die ousie, ek weet ons ousie is al deel van die familie. As iets met haar sou gebeur so ek ook so voel. Hulle is in my gebede. Sterkte pel
fandacious Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 This thread is NOT supposed to be seen in a negative light' date=' I am just gatvol and scared for my children, other family and friends. My son just phoned. His father in law was attacked and assaulted and their maid was raped and robbed of her monthly pay by an armed assailant in their house today. Both the maid and my "swaer" were hurt but fortunately not seriously, the trauma remains. I thank God that his wife were not there. My son says that he feels that it is just not worth while living there anymore. Being newly married and with a baby on the way I cannot but completely agree with him. The thing who attacked them spoke flawless Tswana and preferred to be addressed in Afrikaans. He made off with the maid's salary, a cellular phone, a laptop, a PDA and DVD player. The Police acted swiftly and started tracking him on the cellular phone. Just as they were able to pinpoint him the bastard switched off the phone. It is sad sad sad that evil is taking over in such leaps and bounds. Is the "Rainbow Nation" still worth while persuing??????[/quote'] H - I totally agree with you. I certainly dont want to raise kids in an environment like this. While SA has MANY MANY good things going for it, risking your life everyday while trying to go about daily business is not worth it...
Nancy Drew Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 it's NOT about age here! It's about virtual penis length meassured in posts.PS: hasty is not wrong' date=' but hey, it's the hub, people love complaining [/quote'] I thought it was about nipples Anyway, Oom H.... not good news, best wishes to your family in overcoming this trauma
Joe Low Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Answer to your question Mr H - no, but it seems quite a flawed concept in any case. Very sorry to hear of your family's experience, very nasty.
Guest Big H Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 At first I was pissed off by fiasm's remarks........ but I actually admire her. She had the guts of her conviction to give up her all..... her known environment, her family and all other references to move to Oz and start a new beginning. I hope you all of the best there and great success. The more I live and work away from RSA the more I grow distant from the country. I have great confusion in my mind if I ever want to return and retire there.

At the end of the day you need to decide whether or not it is worth living in fear of your life in exchange for the beauty our country has to offer. Many people feel it is an acceptable risk, UNTIL something happens to them or their family. Many people are starting to leave BEFORE something happens, and i cant say i blame them. Its sad to leave SA behind, but life is precious
Jackes Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 work away from RSA the more I grow distant from the country. I have great confusion in my mind if I ever want to return and retire there. I saw an old coleque at a wedding last year, he works for Checkers in Zambia the past 5 years. He says he will never return, too happy over there. And Raubec construction had openings there last month as well, the guys are doing fantastic and the workers thouroughly enjoy the place Jackes17542009-01-31 06:53:23
slowpoke Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 OomH, i am so shocked to hear this and heartsore for all the victims, even the long-distance ones like you and M, who are affected by this.
