For a long time I have wondered about empty calories. Surely a calorie (or Kilo Joules) are a measurement of energy and this implies it can be burned or used during exercise? From what I have been told it sounds like you cannot get rid of empty calories at all and this makes no sense to me. I am...
At last a video that highlights what I have been saying for years.

While most South Africans buy cars with a sheeple mentality for some it is the small things that can be a deal breaker. I am curious as to what small things are a big deal for others so please feel free to comment and share your preferences.
For me there are some things that a car simply...
I am looking to replace the current application I am using to rename downloaded TV episodes.
This is what I use now : http://code.google.com/p/mediarenamer/
Any suggestions for something newer?
It always irritates me when people use the term 100k KM to indicate 100,000 KM. Why not use 100MM as in 100 mega meters? Obviously being in capitals and used in the context of cars it cannot be confused with mm (millimeter).
Back when I was a student the guy I drove to Tech with had a 3-series BMW that we serviced ourselves. I recall using ATF (automatic transmission fluid) as brake fluid and was wondering if I can do the same on my mountain bike? Its got basic Tektro hydraulic brakes and recently I really had to...
So a few weeks ago I sold a used 500GB Seagate HDD on BidOrBuy. I bought it back in February 2011 and it was not used too much. When the buyer got it it was not working so we did an exchange and I initially feared that the drive failed due to negligence. I often sell HDDs and I have never had an...
Actually I got a Galaxy Ace back in January when I upgraded but I sold it straight away. I only took it since it was the best phone I could get for free and at R135 per month I now have about 14 months for free since the phone sold for R2000.
Anyways, been using a Nokia C6-01 since December...
Some say he has more character than me, and that he will be on TV before me.
All I know is the link is here :cool: : http://kyknet.dstv.com/2012/09/12/kwela-funnies-week-2-–-skaduwee-2/
I know its not nearly as popular as Top Gear but for those of you that are hungry for a good motoring show it seems that season 21 started three days ago. ;)
Really makes me miss those old days when Clarkson, Vicky and Tiff where still together doing Top Gear.

Never thought I would ever own a car that has more than 100,000km on the clock but a few days ago my 2001 Astra reached 200,000km. I know there are a few other folks here that have high mileage runners in daily use and though it would be nice to have a show and tell thread. So lets see those...
Lots of arguments have gone round about the outfits ladies tennis players wear with regards to what is acceptable and what is too provocative. Same goes for other sports and the people that take part in them. Generally athletes/sportsmen/sportswomen are not the most beautiful people out there...
If you are planning to get a new bike then maybe what a month or so for the new 2013 stock from GT to arrive. Prices seem to be on par with the current models although parts are refreshed and the paint jobs are incredibly sexy as always. Complete 2013 range can be seen here ...
It seems that the majority of threads in the sport section is about sport that people watch or are a support of. There is very little about sporting events that forumites take part in. Personally I find watching sport the most boring thing to spend time on, but looking at the amount of people...
I'm no connoisseur although I do enjoy a good bottle of wine every now and then. Normally its the stuff you find at Tops so its not really what you would call a special vintage. However I have had some pretty remarkable wines on special occasions and this got me wondering, what is the oldest...
Just wondering if any other forumites might be taking part in the TotalSports Ladies Race this coming Thursday in celebration of Womans day?
As with all ladies races it is open for men to enter as long as they dress suitable. I got a lot of reaction last year in the outfit below and I'm...
I am super excited about this ride, and it seems to get more popular each year. Did my first one last year, decided to take the 42k route since it goes right past my house but this year I am on the 66k. Any other forumites that will be doing Die Burger MTB?
This one very scenic event and I...
