Campag question

Does anyone know if upgrading to Campag will improve the weather? I've noticed that Campag equipped
riders all seem to be pictured on nice sunny roads. I could use a bit of that.

Also they seem to be surrounded by nice looking women, which would be a bonus.

Surely not - far to dangerous, the roads in Italy in summer are full of Clarkson and hundreds of
advertising film crews making adverts with cars swooping round bends on completely empty roads
(for some reason adverts featuring cars stuck in traffic on a wet Tuesday are rather thin on the
gorund, although most cars will be stuck in traffic in the rain MUCH more often than they'll be on
an empty road).

As a self-proclaimed petrol head, amongst other things, I also have to admit to being born in the
same hospital as JC in fact, I have to say he's a dick.

He's not even good enough, at being bad, to be a dickhead.

He's done more to promote ill will between road using 'groups' than any amount of wild, traffic
light / zebra crossing madly waved gesticulations and verbal abuse will ever do. And the worst is,
he thinks he's right ..

Might be worth giving it a try, but I've been on Campag all my road riding years and it hasn't done
me any good....weather or women!

Yes. He's a loud-mouthed bigot, and if he made the same kind of remarks about an ethnic or any other
minority as he makes about cyclists or those who choose to use public transport, he would be in very
deep trouble.

Hence one of my proposals is that we create a new offence of "Driving under the influence of Jeremy
Clarkson" which would attract a mandatory lifetime ban, unlimited fine and (at the discretion of the
court) cutting off of the goolies

Being one of those people who doesn't have a television and doesn't read weekend newspapers I reckon
I almost never get cars advertised at me -- well, not that I notice. What I do notice when I visit
the S4C-watching branch of the family is that TV, or S4C at least, is stiff with the most bizarre
"branding" adverts for cars. They tell you nothing about the car, only about the image of the buyer
which the agency employed by the manufacturer has decided to impose.

This is so much like what cigarette adverts became before they started to be regulated that I deduce
that the market has decided that everyone who could conceivably have a car either has a car or is
already buying one and the only purpose of advertising is to induce brand-switching. (Oh, yes.)

(I also learn that some of the inexplicable advertising hoardings are references to car adverts that
are assumed to be common culture.)

I confess that I only replied to /this/ article to admit that I had almost resisted the temptation
to post that I thought JC was meant to have been born not in a hospital but a stable.

LOL .. One JC was born in a stable .. This JC probably wasn't really born ..

To use a Clarkson-style comparison, "If this Top Gear presenter was a
Mr. Kipling product, it would be a fruitcake...." ;-)
