  1. Barry was on the outskirts of unihoki in Johannesburg.
    He was friends with Jason, one of our main players, and popped in to
    watch a couple of times.
    Eventually the bug bit and he bought himself a uni and set about
    learning to ride.
    Jason tells me he finally 'got it' quite recently.
    A couple of days before he was T-boned by a car speeding thru a red
    light and killed instantly.

    That's one less of us.

    nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

    i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
    biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
    the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
    dinosaurs. -ivan

  5. 🙁 I'm really sorry to hear this. Apologies for my lack of words, I
    don't really know how to respond to something like this at my young
    age.

    People really need to be more careful in cars. My father had a friend
    who died from a drunk driver. Sadly these type of situations are very
    common anymore.

    Maybe the police used a lower than usual voltage. They might have had
    their TASERs set on "annoy" rather than "stun." No one has reported on
    this important detail. Why are details like this omitted?
