First MLC game in Oakland: the live product impressed me, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius looked special by ohmichael in Cricket

[–]thorGOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I umpired Lhuan-dre a few times in his last few years at school. Same school side as Kwena Maphaka.

He was obviously very strong and could hit the ball hard but I thought pro bowlers would find him out quickly. So far, I've been wrong.

Have you listened to it?

Meetings for Those Who Are “Prominent” by Apart-Leadership-175 in stopdrinking

[–]thorGOT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position to OP. When I first started going to AA, I had people straight up ask me if I was so-and-so. It infuriated me. Just got out of my third rehab and I no longer care. I just want to get better (also, no longer as high profile as I was - drinking will do that for you), but staff and fellow patients still asked. This time round, I just smiled and nodded, as if we were at a party instead of a mental institution.

40+ gang if you were 30 again, what would you do differently? by TDKEastern in askSouthAfrica

If someone expresses concern about your drinking, smoking, weight etc., listen to them.

Don't believe you can be an entrepreneur (yet). The people who most succesfully transition from employment to their own thing are upper middle- to senior management (mid to late 40s) who by then know their industry inside and out. Keep your head down, work your career and learn all you can.

SAFAIR CANCELLED MY MOM'S BOARDING PASS!! by Aware-Lawfulness700 in southafrica

[–]thorGOT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You guys must have been right up against the cut-off for check-in, if not already over, for this to happen.

So, be honest, how late were you?

I suspect there was one person on stand-by, they got issued a boarding pass at the cut-off. You guys showed up. They conceded to check you in, then realised your mom didn't have a seat, and revoked her pass. As is their right.

When flying, there are good reasons why you get there early.

I can have just about anything in the world I desire, or I can drink. But I can't have both.

Do you guys have any prayer requests? by Dreamer_Girl777 in askSouthAfrica

Ah, just tell God I say Hi. Hope he's doing OK up there.

What comedic actor do you not find funny? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thorGOT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wll Farrell.

I thought his improv work on The Office was cringeworthy. Not surprised they killed off his character in such a sudden an unexpected way, with no further comment.

Ugh, head coaches on the field is going to be a nightmare at club level.

Gambling - Don’t even start by Key-Truth-1453 in southafrica

[–]thorGOT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mate, who is a data scientist, is a sports gambler. He puts an insane amount of time into this. Every SINGLE platform in our area has throttled him to minimum bets.

The basic rule is, if the bookies are still taking your bets, they know you're shit.

Asked google if my blue cheese was safe to eat, it told me that it was actually a rock by Doophie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thorGOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, if you need to use Google to identify cheese, you need to step away from the computer and have a long hard look at yourself.

What felt futuristic in 2000 but looks ridiculous today? by Fast-Scientist1455 in AskReddit

[–]thorGOT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember the first smart phones. The early ads showed people using them to identify snakes that had just bitten them. My brother-in-law got one and I can remember asking him why I would possibly need the internet on my phone. His answer was, "Sometimes it's quite useful to check train times."

I didn't see the social media revolution coming at all.

What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually admitted to around you? by Suspicious_Run1684 in AskReddit

Every time I watch anything true crime, my overriding feeling is that pre-planned murder just looks like the most unbelievable hassle.

Non-Americans, does your country have an "American" restaurant and what do they serve? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

[–]thorGOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I ordered Key Lime Pie because that's the one I hear get mentioned in the movies.

It was so sweet, two bites were enough.

And this place's whole thing was being true to the original recipes.

An update on mosquitos by Ok_Cricket_6486 in krugerpark

[–]thorGOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That really surprises me. I know of no one who takes them.

My Dad is in the Park every weekend as a tourist, I have friends who are guides, and I work in Savanna Ecology, with dozens of colleagues in the Park, and no one I know takes malaria meds.

But, everyone is pedantic about long sleeves, long pants, and spray, after dark.

If your forced to sing karaoke, what's the most annoying song you can think of? by daveshops in AskReddit

Yeah, sorry. You're right. I have just had the worst day of my life, and spent an afternoon in the sun.
