  1. Sawubona! Well, Cape Town was beautiful as always. Managed to spend some time riding and enjoying the long lazy afternoons... (see the attachment) Scratch came out to meet me at the airport as I was about to fly out to Namibia. Thanks for making the effort buddy. Ladies, he's in fact a true gentleman... I'm in Swakopmund at the moment. It's a little chilly but mom's cooking makes up for it! I'll be here till the end of next week before I start turning for London again. Got a wild-child from Cape Town coming over to visit me this weekend. Should be loads of fun and I'll see if I can convince her to do some jumping.... I'll take photos.... hehehehe! Stay cool.

  6. Hey, why do I have to take the scraps when they turn it down!? Send it to me too! Safe swoops Sangiro
  7. Freefly Andre from Citrusdal? Safe swoops Sangiro
  8. You are most welcome! Safe swoops Sangiro
  9. Heya all, I'm down in Cape Town. Will be in the area for about a week and then move on to Swakopmund, Namibia. Just wanted to say "hi" Keep it real - be safe!
  10. Good grief! I guess that's the academic equivalent of receiving 250 swift blows with a blunt rusted spade on the upper-lip... Safe swoops Sangiro
  11. Do you have a sister? Safe swoops Sangiro
  12. You can work in a soap factory, but unless you actually bath and apply some soap personally - you'll still be dirty! Safe swoops Sangiro
  13. You're duly invited to point this out to me via PM next time it occurs and we'll have the discussion and take the necessary action. Safe swoops Sangiro
  14. And I disagree with you. I think Rhino has made his bed, he should lie in it. Safe swoops Sangiro
  15. Well said. Thanks skreamer. Another difference is that there are moderators. You may not like what they do all the time, that's fine - I do. I trust their judgment and I'll stand by it. If it's that unacceptable to you feel free to move right along. I'm going to say something again that I've said in the past. My goal here is NOT to try and please everyone. Trying to please everyone is a sign of mediocricity and you simply end up pissing off the "nice" people. I have long accepted that some people will not like it and leave - that's OK. I have sided with those people who can hold a civilized conversation, don't swear at everyone around them, and contribute in some positive way without making a drama out of everything and whining about how unfair the world is. People see through BS in no time. So, if you're one feeding the group that all the time, don't think for a second that they don't know it. They're just not throwing it back at you. Me on the other hand... Safe swoops Sangiro
  16. No, that doesn't. There are masses of people on these boards who serve and who will be insulted by "special" treatment because of that. I have met and worked with a lot of active serving members and I can assure you, they don't need special treatment from you or me. Respect is not a birth right, nor does it come as a fringe benefit with any occupation, it's defined by ones actions. Rhino has shown very little if any respect to others. What exactly is the basis of his claim for respect? His actions? I think not. I really don't care if he is the guy who invented Velcro, he gets the same treatment. He has overstayed his welcome. You shouldn't be too shocked. Safe swoops Sangiro
  17. Rhino, Smart people know when they've overstayed their welcome. Stupid ones keep on bashing their heads against the wall. We all believe you're a smart guy. Do yourself a favor and stop trying to get back in. You are just going to continue to look more and more silly and desperate... if that's at all possible! It takes me one click every time to get rid of you. When I said, try to get back in, I meant see if you can mend the fences, not try to patronize me even more with silly little games.

  18. Please take general Safety & Training or Gear related questions to the relevant forum. This forum is for discussing the incidents at hand. Grue, check out this Glossary Thanks guys!
  19. Try to clean up all your cookies... actually, cleaning up most of your offline internet content from time to time is probably a good idea. If your cache is full it could slow you down a bit... Safe swoops Sangiro

    Ooops! I actually did...problem is that that is in fact a word, so I need an editor, not a spell checker! Safe swoops Sangiro

    Dragging ass

    Not one to complain but this Sangiro is dragging ass like a tired old dog! I've been working like the proverbial dog at my day job, not enjoying the weather in London and falling into my room all grumpy at the end of the day to grind away at Dropzone.com for hours. I think I'm loosing perspective here. I need to reset a bit and recharge my batteries. So, I've taken some time off and will fly down to Africa this Friday and stay down there for 3 weeks. That's my short-term fix to get my smile back.
