Tumbleweed Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 *mini hijack: are you interested in having a look at our new style guide? Style guide? Wassa "style guide"? if you have to ask, you can't have it.
scotty Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 *mini hijack: are you interested in having a look at our new style guide? Style guide? Wassa "style guide"? I think Pantini's writing one.
porky Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I disagree, I think there have been a number of excellant posts right up to here. Of course you may skip right over this topic if you dont feel the need to continue reading, thats your perogative, but please dont try and impose your will on me or others who prefer to see further debate.!

jagwil Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I am NOT trying to impose my will on you or anybody else. I am just making a statement. If mudslinging and character assassination (and repetition) are your thing, then GO FOR IT.I wouldn't dream of trying to stop you.

jagwil Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I wouldn't dream of trying to stop you. But it seems as if I have.!!!!

Dont put words in my mouth Jagwill, show me where I have made any mudslinging comments. As for my interest, well, thats MY perogative, perhaps you enjoy reading about the price of eggs and the static factor on nylon duvet covers, fine, our interests are not the same,........... dont try and make out I am some kind of closet mudslinger by your comments. ................and you havent stopped me from posting here or anywhere, it seems, unlike you, I have other things to do today which kept me away from the keyboard - again a fairly dismal assumption on your behalf.! ............I have said my piece, I will comment no further on this,........................................ back to the issue.!!
Veteraan Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 It is clear that you don't know Fritz Pienaar. He is one of the most honest guys I have ever met. Why would they invite ALL the members of the cycling industry if they wanted to form a cartel?
Jules Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 It is clear that you don't know Fritz Pienaar. He is one of the most honest guys I have ever met. Why would they invite ALL the members of the cycling industry if they wanted to form a cartel? Are you for real? To form a cartel' date=' you need to corner the WHOLE market. Honest Fritz might be. A little too honest for his own good: From: Fritz Pienaar [mailto:mm@firebreak.co.za'] Sent: 17 September 2008 12:27 PM Subject: Minutes - margins in the bicycling industry Dear bicycle wholesaler and retailer, Thank you for your support and great response in making our industry more healthy. For those of you who were unaware of this meeting here is a quick refresher: "I am sure that most of you are aware that there are a lot of concerns in the retail bicycle industry. There is a lot of rumours about retail shops that are struggling and wholesalers that are not getting paid. This causes a lot of problems for everyone in the industry and I?m sure that you would agree that it is not a healthy position to be in. I have had numerous meetings with retail shops and wholesalers over the last couple of months and everyone seems to agree that the retail shops are not making enough profit and that something needs to be done about it. The bicycle wholesalers agree that a healthier retail industry would also allow for a healthier wholesale industry." We've had a great response from the meeting on 10th September 2008! With all the mayor bicycle wholesalers and retailers in Gauteng, we've all come to agreement that raising the margins is the resolution to the problem. It is of utmost importance that we sign-up and state that you support this decision, we need everyone?s support to be able to make this change and to be able to implement these changes right away. Click here to see the attendance of the meeting on 10th September 2008 Click here to see the meeting on 10th September 2008 minutes Please click here, to state if you are supportive of higher margins in the Bicycling Retail sector (We recommend that you read the minutes if you were not present at the meeting) Regards, Fritz Pienaar 083 275 2123 PS. Please forward this to all bike shops you know of, or wholesalers that did not attend.
GoLefty!! Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 you can spell it out in english, afrikaans, maybe even the other 9 languages, but somehow I think cyclists find acceptance hard..
Veteraan Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 How do you KNOW that they have committed a crime? Let's get all the facts before we say anything else
fandacious Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 How do you KNOW that they have committed a crime? Let's get all the facts before we say anything else i always say, shoot first ask questions later... so just drag them out in the street and be done with it
