Where are you from,what do you do?

Guest

I thought I'd better reintroduce myself since I've been away for a while. When I was here last there were something like 60 members and the record for the most users online was 9 LOL ;D. I commented about us SAfricans taking over the site then. I had no idea!!! Unfortunately - or fortunately - this prophesy from my earlier post in this thread also came true:


I live in sunny SA in Kempton Park (don't laugh because your mother dresses you funny too) which is near Jo'burg airport. I've been cycling for 8 years, introduced to the sport by a good friend of Eldron's. [/siz]

I've been running my own graphic design business and doing some painting. There's a seperate thread about that though. I found some time to be on the net this weekend and thought I'd pop in for a quick look at about 17h00. Well, it's 04h00 and I'm still here :yawn: lol having fun (good thing I can sleep in tomorrow).

Came as quite a surprise that I'm a team leader. Well, I havn't being much of a leader but now that I'm back I'll be around a lot more.

Guest

We made you a team leader in about feb this year, around the time you stopped visiting the site. I figured you were dead, but I guess your not

Egads man you're giving my identity away! Next you'll be teaching everyone the secret handshake and explaining why the answer to the universe is 42 (hopefully we have some Douglas Adams fans in the house).

See you in 20 days Sean - my seat is booked and it's time to say a hearty fare thee well to mud island (aka the UK).

Guest

Wheeew, no nothing that drastic. Fortunately just a missing net connection.

Well, you gave your e-mail address away in the thread about looking for a hot chick on a beige/brown Fondriest. ;D

I look forward to riding with you soon.

Sean mate, we all thought you were a gonner! From the user with the most posts the one day to a vanishing act the next! Welcome back! Saddend to hear about the job, it sucks (I know)! Good luck with the new venture.

Now, where were we the last time around? Oh yes, discussing the theory that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it would instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

I was pretty a prolific poster wasn't I? LOL
Sorry about leaving like that  :-/.

What happened was that I was supposed to leave work at the end of December. About half way through December they told me I was not going to be paid out for my leave at all. Which meant I had already lost 3 days  >. So I literally packed my things and walked out.

Or free flights to europe for cyclingforums.com members would do!  

Guest

Unfortuantily there is a slight difference doing stuff for the airport and doing stuff for a airline. We do stuff like FIDS and scheduling of resources and baggage sorting. I would like a few tickets to Europe myself  :'(

Guest

Hi all, Remember me? Was away for 6 weeks but I'm back. (Did some "skelm" training  ;D ;Dwhile most of the Cape Town boys hiding away for the weather.

"Jy's ook maar 'n lekker ou blerrie skelm, ne?"

Pothole, we thought you deserted us for the "other" message board.
