  1. YOR BLOODY BYORTEE!
    :-)
    Gerranseses!

  2. Knew he'd win about 200m before the last corner. Valverde was conned by Gerro. How the hell did martin fall off?

  3. Farkin grouse. I actually jumped off the couch and pumped me fist. I'm not known for being demonstrative
    :-)

    Blimey - don't have to be dead to be stiff!

  5. He wouldn't have won anyway. Gutsy move though

  6. Jee, there's a lot of hate for Gerro on the cool kids' forum. What the fark?

    http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=22201&page=55

  7. Fantastic job by Weining. Gerro owes him a big drink

  8. Well I had Gerrans (didn't tip him in an earlier race). And Gasparotto (12th, no major time lost). NFI where Nibali ended up. Apparently my other guy Betancur was a DNS so I dunno where that leaves me.

    I told ya, they are cockheads. I dunno Wtf they are going on about. They bag Gerro for being negative in Amstel. He wasn't. Bag Valverde for being negative today. He wasn't. Bag the winner today for racing to his strengths. You don't get the win for doing retarded attacks. It was a strange race. I thought Amstel was better to watch, but the last 2kms were exciting. I thought Valverde and kreuziger were the strongest today.

    That's what I reckon. Gerro, et al, woulda passed him

    Yeah, fark, do they want him to do suicide attacks for the camera, with his top undone, like Voeckler, then blow up and lose?! Crikey. As you say, he's racing to his abilities, which is either due to his brains or that of the DS (right? :-) ).
    "All he can do is win", as they say. Fark me dead.

    Do they expect him to smash the whole pelobunch to pieces from 50km out? Well, he ain't that sort of rider, and not many are, or ever have been. Jeeezuz!

    Ha. I didn't think about that.

    Although, as you probably know, it was detonated way up north, over Novaya Zemlya, near the Artic Ocean.
    Fark, there's a stack of interesting info about it, of course. For instance: it was dropped with a massive (800kg) parachute, so that the plane had enough time to get away from the blast (~45km), but it (the plane) was still buffeted enough from the shock wave to lose a km altitude

    You must dominate with the ladies (rock star, witty banter) - although I have got a sneaking suspicion that you might pull out the 'lets play weather trivia together' card too soon. I could be wrong. hehe just kidding 😉

    Nah, I'm ordinary, and these days, only fat, old, desperate divorcees with 10 kids wanna root me. Sad. Ha. :-) I'll never forget the day I realized that no chick under 30 would ever shag me again, unless I paid for it. Ha. Ah, just one of life's many turning points.

    When I was younger and slightly less ugly, the occasional chick would crack onto me, but when I very young, I was sometimes so stupid about it that I didn't realize what was happening until they got in me car, undid their top button, and said: "ah, I live just down the road." :-)
    Or one time when I was REALLY young (about 19), working at a gym, and realised that: "jee, it's closing time, and this old bag is still here complaining to me about her husband, and hasn't done an exercise for 3 hours"

    Yeah, good doco, but a bit long (nearly 2 hours, no ads).
    A couple of the main 'protagonists' have died since the doco was made in 2006

    Best TAN erotica 2014.

  17. HA. That reminds me: my current favourite pawn chick is Lucie Wilde. New meat, apparently. She's meant to be 18, but I dunno

  18. Swampy's anti-Campag rants on here are a pissa

    http://www.cyclingforums.com/t/500230/corrosion-on-chain-and-gears-no-matter-how-much-i-wash-wipe-it-down/0_50

    How can that guy justify paying $65 for a set of Campag cables? Ha

    Somebody at work just found a video shot in the library at my workplace. Which is interesting.

    Edit: Angela White, apparently.
