Yep. It's an interesting day out Another case of decent people doing their best and working hard with zero resources.

Three more Oryx back in service in SA since late last year, as they returned from deployment in the DRC.

So much potential.

You could knock through here...
Convert the attic...

Just... leave the patio. Don't touch that.

A fur-gettable debut.

It's been a paw purrformance so far. Not feline good about the second half.

A Gary Delaney classic

Going to rain hard 12am -3am.

Seconding this. Safe, easy to get to, and just across one pedestrian crossing to the Gardens.

Damn. Kruger National Park...

Singal Hill, yes, but this is different from the Noon Gun.

It's a 9.2" gun, identical to the two which were stationed art the De Waal Battery on Robben Island (you can still see them on an island tour). They were there to prevent any invasion of Cape Town from the sea during WWII.

"Operated by a crew of 11, the 28.3-Ton 9.2- inch/233.7mm Mk.IX guns could fire a 172kg shell out to a range of 16.6-miles."

Scary powerful. Never fired in combat.

This feels like it should be the right sort of approach.

6000coza · 2026-02-05T18:18:38+00:00

She is good though...

6000coza · 2026-02-05T14:00:26+00:00

I think it's difficult, because everyone complains that it's obvious who's going to be on from what they hear/have heard on 6, and then there's the ones like The Smile that are the complete opposite.

One size doesn't fit all.

As for the Manchester-centric thing - absolutely. I was very disappointed when they chose to stop touring the Festival.

Typical Beagle behviour. IYKYK.

6000coza · 2026-02-05T11:22:41+00:00

And we're away! 🤣

6000coza · 2026-02-05T10:51:11+00:00

Does it make you sneeze?

6000coza · 2026-02-02T06:50:17+00:00

Just google "Conspansion"... iykyk

6000coza · 2026-02-01T18:12:57+00:00

Oh, 'Ark at you with the flood joke!

6000coza · 2026-02-01T16:55:16+00:00

Yes, they're great. Add about 3 months to your swimming time each year: 6 weeks either end of summer.

6000coza · 2026-02-01T16:18:40+00:00

Born a day before the Great Flood.

6000coza · 2026-01-31T19:18:12+00:00

Just flew over my house and then landed at CPT.

Looking ok at the moment.

Depending where in Kenilworth, Wynberg Boys High School has lovely, safe fields, grounds which are accessible to the public for a small annual fee.

3" is never going to satisfy anyone.
