LOL. She probably smelt like a yeti after camping up there for three days. If she was a euro chick her armpits and legs were probably as hairy as well.

Hasnen posts on Weight Weenies as 'Zakeen', but he hasn't been on there since the 13th of April, so I think he's too busy to sit on forums at the moment

I don't really know, but I don't think he can do that to those guys. He's not a pure climber, like most of those other twigs that were around him last night. He couldn't get away from most of those guys on a mountain.

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but even Indurain couldn't always keep up with the pure climbers. Maybe he let them go coz he knew he could put many minutes into guys like LeBlanc in a long time trial....

I'm tipping you're right....especially knowing my mate,.....t'is funny, he's the fussiest bloke I've ever met about what he puts his arse on, bike wise...yet not what he puts his dick in!

I can assure you that I am not serious...... ly ghey.

Holy heck... I thought it was so OTT on the sarcasm meter that it lost all funniness. What strange seppo-sarcasm style have I acquired without knowing it? And Nev was agreeing with me as well...

I actually skimmed it and thought WTF, then I read it properly.

BTW, you are supposed to snort coke up your nose, not out of it.

I just read it again... and I think the serious first paragraph put people off.... deliberately...

I sense the forum is missing Lance and looking for a new Lance Armstrong, in the form of Cadel Evans, to group-hate. And we Aussie's are destined to be treated like TheBlueTrain, Saluki, Musette, Trek_Athlete, etc... ...

Hitchy's and Classic's posts in Cadel's defence, which I was proud to read, citing his giving to charity and impressing young girls on rides, may not have helped the Lance analogies and typecasting... ....

Nah, it's the whiny voice and the fact that he's an ugly bugger that are responsible.

Personally, I don't like him, but I do hope he wins. I find the "wheelsucker" comments a bit puzzling, the guy is obviously riding his race to suit his strengths and weaknesses and maximise his chances of a good result. If that means he doesn't take a turn at the front, then so be it, why villify him for it? I bet if he had taken off up the road and blown himself up, thus costing him any chance of winning, everyone would be calling him an idiot, etc, etc.

Some one find me a picture of 'Virgil' from the 'Thunderbirds'

Crank, I didn't post anything about cadels charitable & human rights stuff cos I thought its just gunna ignite a "Lance wannabe' flame war...last year he won $50K as Oz cyclist of the year or something....& gave the whole lot away...the Amy gillett foundation & something or other else....I guess smacking a peckerhead with a camera outweighs that!

Anyone else hear Keeno's theory this morning about Valberde in the chop with the CSCs?
Getting them drinks, then the pat of the back from Sastre after attacking the front group hard to soften up Cadel?

I reckon he's on the money.
