    cheers Lim,

    have you read the [censored] now? splitting hairs he calls it. I wouldnt describe retiring from professional competition as splitting hairs.

    perhaps your right, retiring may mean something entirely different in Yankdom.

    ah who cares, like Fred i am thinking of sticking a quick 50 on him to lose but at odds at 1000-1 for an american victory in this years tour it may not be worth it.


    Explain yourself in betting terms. Right I've got 50 on Armstrong to lose that's called a lay. Now what's the 1000-1 about, and where is it? I'm baffled. In betting term mathematics it's no lose situation and an all win one.

    Your old pal boudreaux helped with this one...I rode just about every bike in my price range and was happy to come upon a 2001 LeMond Buenos Aires (still brand new in LBS) fit like a glove...steel frame, 105 components..for a beginner like me it is a perfect match...


    If that's your bike and position on it then you are a physical freak.

  3. zapper said:

    Yeah, I do not have enough money for that...I got mine for a song. Got it for less than I'd pay for one of your OCR1's...Gonna ride it until it crumbles beneath me...


    Looking at the position you'll die before the bike crumples into bits.

    I agree.

    Couple of giveaways - Boudreaux gave him advice !
    Heaven help us.
    Two - he must be a contortionist.

    Ah well, the first foray in to a genuine cycling subject for Zapper and it failed, abjectly.

    And when you take your winnings, you can use them as a deposit on some land in Langley, Virginia !


    Thats only 5 km from my house. Your car breaks down on that road & security people come out to investigate. Lots of woods but highly restricted

  6. limerickman said:

    [censored] is right : I think we can file this one along with the weather reports, carboreteurs, house building, iraq war, under B for basket.
    !

    dont forget that Queen Victoria invented the kilt...(an item that can be traced to 13th century France and Ireland)...

    i told my mates down the pub that this is common belief among so called intelligent Americans....what a larf we all had..

  7. I dont know about you but i have always been a keen gamer, PS2, XBOX, PC...

    in my local Game store i came across this little beauty...i always wondered what you looked like Zap....now i know...!

    you should use this as your avatar...

    if lance's chances of winning are 1000 to 1 then his chances of losing (mathematically speaking) are 1/1000 = 0.001 to 1

    i.e. a dead cert

    put a 1000 quid on him to lose and you'll get 1001 pound back so inevitable is the outcome. Thats the way the odds go.

    a bookie obviously wont accept those odds but then i dont know a bookie that much maths at school.

    they may give you 2-1 for a loss.

    Amazing Race....Were teams race around the world....they were in turkey last night.

    Try this one, it should appear larger for you..

    No, he lives down near the Navy Yard in S. Virginia [Va. is one of the larger states named after the "virgin queen"-Elizabeth(?)]. I was going to settle down there but decided on N. Virginia, where I am from. No particular reason outside of the fact that I have lived here my entire adult life. Know the area well. It takes 3-4 hrs. to get from there (Suffolk/Norfolk/Portsmouth) to here. Langley is on the Virginia side (my side) of the Potomac River (N. Virginia), opposite Washington, my stomping grounds. Filled w/ "Spooks" (spies).

    Continual construction (large swath of road to maintain/ the buisiest north-south artery on the east coast), speed-traps, traffic, ect...I like some moderate/reaonable Repub's such as Spectre

    Bit of a gamer here as well; I figure it's a generational thing. Anyone who was between the ages of 10 and 20 anywhere between the years of 1975 and 1990 has a pretty good chance of having picked it up as a pastime.

    PC gaming only, here, and not too often. Strategy and the the occasional RPG for me. Rome:Total War is currently on my hard drive... magnificent...
