  1. Jee, 9m30 is handy for 3km. Wow. I have a theory that elite runners are more off the planet that other athletes, because it's not possible to run 3min kms for a marathon.

  2. Michael Klim doesn't look out of place at all on a bike. I thought he was some pro

  3. Strewth, this bloke really is starting to look like me as he gets older (poor guy :P), especially with the sunnies and helmet on.
    I always wondered why people think I'm him. 😄 I wish my calves were that big.

  4. Dead pool fail. Jonah Lomu, rugby legend and all round good guy

    nzherald.co.nzarticle.cfm

    Every international try he scored:

  5. Obviously too young. Was it his kidneys or something else?

  6. Yep, kidneys. He had a transplant but it failed after 5 or so years. Nephrotic syndrome

    I call [censored] on campagnolo making haloes


    I call [censored] on Campag making anything better than Shimano since Dura Ace 7400...

  8. This 'olympus has fallen' movie is [censored].

    I'm barracking for the poor oppressed squinty eyed yellow people in their battle against the capitalist running dog imperialist Yankees.

    I still think they drive like [censored] and shouldn't be allowed to get drivers licences though. Also, eating dog is disgusting

  9. I also happen to agree with Germaine Greer that chopping your [censored] off and taking a few hormones doesn't necessarily make you a chick and that it's [censored] offensive that Bruce Kardashian got named woman of the year.

  10. Also, what are all those right wing dingbats going on about with whatever that Imam person said or didn't say? Who gives a [censored] about what David Bowies missus says about anything?

  11. Finally, where's Paul? If you start calling potato cakes potato scallops Pauly I'm gonna kick you fair in the aggots.

    Also, it's bathers, not cozzie. Nature strip, not verge. And a pot, not a middie. [censored] NSW

    Still totally ripped. What's the bet he could win a NRS race with six weeks training?

    [censored] his results were phenomenal. Imagine being some [censored] Belgian pro hoping for a top twenty in a kermesse so you could eat that week , then Phil Anderson turns up in his big [censored] Mercedes, rips the Panasonic Raleigh out of the boot and attacks eleventy five times and takes all the primes and smashes [censored] and you get 26th and don't get any money? Wouldn't you be SPEWING? They reckon [censored] would go home if Anderson rocked up to a kermesse.

  13. Here's Eoin and his daughter on a blog thingy I stumbled across

    Ha. No doubt. The only thing missing from the old days is his tan and long hair.
    If a "pushing-54" Stephen Fairless can finish with the lead group at the Warrnambool, then why not? 😄

  15. Nice. Carnegie have started putting slo-mos of the finishes. Just the still camera on the line.
    The winner doesn't appear until the 22s mark. That's Troy Clarke coming 2nd. Pat Drapac 1st and big Tighello 3rd

  16. theage.com.authe tiny pill making fighters in syrias war feel like superhuman soldiers 20151119 gl3fs8.html

    ISIS are 40 years behind the times. Pro bike riders were taking captogon in the 1970's, and they were considered mild. ahahahah

  17. This just in (and I mean "in"😉:

    Is that a pistol in your hot pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

    I can write a better headline than that.

    Police internal investigation results in gun [censored]

    Poor guy! As someone whose first name translates to something odd in another language, I can sympathise.
