The Thread about Nothing....

[531Aussie]

Nothing to do with the GP setup and everything to do with the GP.
.

Actually, that's probably what I meant. Some joints, or doctors, can't get ya in and out quick enough.

There was an old GP I used to see years ago, who would just bark at me: "What's wrong with you? How long have you had it?" Then, maybe feel my neck and look at my throat. After that, as he was writing his **** in my file, and maybe writing a script, he'd barely hear a word I said if I had further questions or concerns. If I pressed the point, he'd say "WHAT?", almost as if was being difficult, or had asked a stupid question. Then he'd usher me out the door, saying something like: "if you're no better or a four of five days, come back."

We have to fly Qantas. Qantas never crashed.

Jebus. I'll explain it to you cnuts so you get it.

q. How many footy fans or cricket fans could put names to faces from games in the same era?

a. Farkin heaps, that's how many. They watch the matches, buy the paper, buy the record, know about it. One is the biggest spectator sport in the country while the other is our national sport. Nobody would remark on a fan correctly stating the year his team last won a premiership, who it was against, what the winning margin was, or even the complete team line-up.

Cycling is my sport. I have followed it since I was a little kid, watched the races (sometimes months after the events, but I watched them), brought all the mags. If we were in Belgium nobody would think that naming those riders was in anyway remarkable, it's like the AFL or cricket here. Plus that era the riders didn't all wear hardshell helmets or sunglasses so they are easier to pick.

Yeah but the races ARE IN Belgium. You're the equivalent of some ******** here following American football.

ps: I guessed Bob Roll correct. Can I have a chocolate croissant for my efforts? Or maybe a Tootsie Roll would be more apt.

I was really gonna show off and name some of the spectators but decided that would be showing off too much

 

[Gusboh]

Or MTB

Burn.

The problem with my knowledge of racing, past or present, is that it doesn't exist.

Pretty big problem that.

 

[Albert 50]

Stay tuned....

You mean to say ya missed B2B?
It was TOPS
Best time I have ever had on a bike

 

[classic1]

Did anyone watch the SBS doco 'Live Forever' last night? Pisser.

Interviewer - something something you are androgenous

Liam Gallagher - whats that?

Interviewer tries to explain, Liam Gallagher is dumb as a bag of rocks and doesn't get it. Eventually........

Liam Gallagher - are you saying I look like a bird? I look after me hair, have to being a lead singer an all.

LOLZ

Ha! It was grouse, but I missed most of the first half. I was just talking to a mate about it.

I liked the bit where Noel was hanging **** on (I think) the 3rd album, saying how **** it was, but "Liam fookin thinks it's great. Every gap in the music is filled with some **** guitar lick", or something like that

Yeah, I suppose. I can still freak out people by naming all the players from the 70s; but where was your old man getting all the videos? Black market? I wouldn't have even known where to start getting that stuff. The first time I saw Tour highlights on Wide World of Sports I was transfixed, almost as much as the first time I seen a prawno.

And what mags did you get? All I knew about in the mid/late '80s was the Yank Winning, and some crappy Pom thing which had mostly black and white pictures.

 

[swampy1970]

Here's a teaser: who and where?

Classic1 forgot to mention that photo was taken in the Vache Bleu sector.

I still have a huge box of VHS tapes with all the Channel 4 Tour de France programs from 86 to 93 (I think - could be 92)... back in the days before Alzheimers struck Ligget and Sherwin was a babyfaced presenter fresh off the bike.

a prawno?

is that some crustacean porno? Prawns ****ing?

If you are jewish, are you allowed to watch prawns ****ing? Or are you allowed to, but not just allowed to eat 'em. Which is kosher Nev? Riddle me that.

Nope, it's a video of two people having sex that happen to have shite for brains. Probably pretty descriptive of any rorno really...

Beebs - boss is making a decision, I'll know tomorrow (phone dead at the moment)

[and to the rest of you lot - no, I won't PM it, cos i'm lazy ]

Anyhow - it's getting cool up here in the morning now - I had to break out the longs for the first time this year.

Realised just how much ventilation my shoes have too... I need to get me some of them fangled overshoe thingies.

Bloody freezing here tonight. I reckon there will be a frost, or very close to it.

Mt Hotham -5.0°C Farkin cold. We're up in Bright this weekend. I think I'll do an about face at the toll booth unless the mrs drives to the top and I can ride straight into the car with the heater on.

 

[classic1]

Fark I hate crying sheilas at work. HTFU. What is worse is that they come to me for consoling. Probably coz I am so sensitive and stuff.

Is it ok to look down their tops while they are having a bawl or cop a little feel while they are crying on your shoulder, or is that inappropriate?

I also hate those ones who work in probably the best office facility this side of Melbourne and whinge. I'm cold/I'm hot/I don't like the dunny paper/how come work don't supply milo/my desk is too high/a bird shat on my car in our ace lock up secure carpark/I don't like that brand milk you supply for nothing/blah blah whinge farkin blah.

Rant over.
