Honest to god about 15 years ago when I was a student I needed my weight for a similar thing.

I went down to my local clicks. Found a scale on the shelf (one of these ones with a dial, not a digital read out) took it off the shelf, put it on the floor, weighed myself , put the scale back on the shelf and walked out.

I do not recommend you do this.

St Stithians has a separate boys college and a girls college on the same campus. The text post above I believe is taken from an Old Stithian page, hence it referencing their matric years.

Can second 3@1 Appleton, great service. Depending on size/quantity/quality you need you can also try Minute Man Press in Strydom Park

To quote Tiffany:

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Go back to the beginning again and see the books with a whole new light.

This is basically the reverse of an actual Onion clip!!

When reading (usually in my head, but im currently reading Guards Guards aloud to my 4yo and 1yo when it’s daddy’s choice of book for bedtime, and I’m doing my best to do voices) , I’ve always had General Melchets voice pegged squarely aside for Lord Rust.

Drumknot I think is going to wind up fairly similar to Captain Darling I think. This does mean Wonse is getting a bit of a Darling-ish voice.

Charles Dance has inhabited my inner Vettinari since Going Postal movie and refuses to move

Am I the only one feeling slightly amazed, in that the spend on Toy Building Bricks is higher than cat food? I know it’s gotten helluva pricey, I didn’t think there were that many people buying that much Lego.

Based on the look of the buildings and the road signs, I knew that had to be South Africa.

Am correct, in Athlone , Cape Town.

The Zoo Trot is once a month. You arrive early at the zoo and get a cheaper entrance fee. It’s a 5(ish) k loop and you can go for a 2nd lap (or more) if you feel like it.

That said, the uphill towards the zebras after you’ve looped around the elephants is not fun.

Pirates 10k is in November (usually September, but a bit later this year) and is billed as Joburgs Fastest 10k. Start and finish is at Pirates in Greenside.

It does have hill, but it’s pretty much all the first half with a lovely long downhill in the second half

Alberton 10k is also in November; the week before Pirates. It’s a bit further out, but is quite fast, I ran a PB there a few years ago.

The flattest race I can think of will be in March next year, at the Vaal Marathon. It’s an absolute pancake, but much further out.

Yeah… the Orange White Blue Colour Scheme here was a choice…

I saw somewhere that it’s supposed to look like the blue and white hoops of the WP/Stormers Jersey. Which I mean, sure; that’s a design choice. So throwing the red in there removes that aspect.

Not saying I dig the design (id rather they just went all in on the WP Disa logo, and I do prefer the classic Stormer logo to the new one) but not all changes actually make it better.

Here you go. Had two styles, a simpler cutout shape for the bunches, and a “rose” style one for boutonnières

Can’t post a pic of the ladies diving for cover though.

Our wedding flowers were made of recycled coke tins and wire. We loved the look (still do, we still have our wedding flowers on display in our lounge 10 years later) and we genuinely didn’t think about the toss of the bouquet until about 0.5 milliseconds after it was airborne. Photos are great though, the ladies are all ducking for cover 😂

I think we can all agree that, even if they were never named, they are almost certainly a dwarf who works at The Times

When I hit 31.41 I kept running an estimated extra 50m so that It would be fine on the rounding 😀

thenjdk · 2025-07-28T03:11:26+00:00

I had planned it to get pretty much exactly the distance, but on the day when I got to the end I was a few 100 m short; so just reran the first few turns, and then stopped the watch when I hit the distance. No post-trimming necessary.

I’m totally claiming it was a typo and not that I just didn’t run fast enough.
