    Empty Calories - how do they work?

    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...

    The small things that you love/hate about a car

    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...

    Why don't people use the term Mega Meter (MM)

    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...

    Seagate's RMA process really works!

    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...

    So I just bought my first Android phone.

    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...

    New season of Fifth Gear is out

    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.

    The 200,000+ km thread

    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...

    Which sports women (or men) do you find sexy?

    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...

    Do you prefer to watch sport of do sport? (or both)

    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...

    The most mature wine you ever drank?

    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...
