    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    Reminds me of the time my parents were redoing their bathroom and I helped my dad strip the tiles. The house was built in the 80s and these tiles were freakin plakked solid onto the wall. We had to use hammers and chisels to take them off bit by bit. I hit myself on the thumb a couple of...

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    Ertigas, Rumions, Tribers, these 7-seater sh*tters that drive like complete ass whenever you come across them. 80 in the middle lane? Ertiga. Crawling on the onramp while you are trying to merge? Rumion. Doing 40 and being a nuisance in the 'burbs? Triber.

    State-of-the-art hospital in South Africa standing empty after 10 years and R2.8 billion

    On a serious note, I can understand a massive coal or nuclear power station taking 5 - 10 years to build (global average seems to be 6-years for something Medupi/Kusile size) as there is some serious engineering going on there.

    ANC insourcing increased security costs from R117 million to R218 million per year

    The plan is to cut out the middleman so they can eat even more lekker.

    F1 2026

    Yeah well maybe F1/Liberty can stop with their street circuit fetish. If F1 is struggling for action on traditional circuits, what makes people think a street circuit will be any better? If they wanted another Spanish GP, they should have gone to Aragon.

    The historic university town collapsing in front of everyone’s eyes

    I wouldn't bank on it. They've been learning, but very slowly.

    The historic university town collapsing in front of everyone’s eyes

    Well, the place had its name changed so everybody at least has their dignity while living in squalor. Right?

    Here is the expected petrol price for October

    And work said no to work from home flexibility because ''everything will stabilise and go back to normal'' in the long run.

    The Kempton Park Serial Killer thread

    The twisted thing is - if looking at the patterns seen in other, infamous serial killers - if a serial killer's activity increases it usually leads to their capture because they have become reckless or overconfident. It may be a sign that they are losing the fight against their impulsivity (like...

    Official Manchester United Supporters' Thread Part 5

    I addressed this in my last comment. Strikers are not ''overrated''. The way football is played today has made them a scarcity, with the goal output from strikers declining across the PL. The bulk of your goals now come from wide players and from the midfield. Haaland is an outlier. There is...

    The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

    It is hard work cracking the Big Four major leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL). Rugby specifically going up against the NFL, which is practically mission impossible. Football/soccer in the US (MLS) has only now started to find its footing and is expanding. They had a spurt in the late 70s when...
