The Thread about Nothing....



Clearly you're ace at this, but how's the style though Eoin? Is it strictly no-nonsense-all-business, or have you injected a bit of funk into the action?

I read an interview with Fondriest in an Australian cycling magazine. Fondriest in his early days, even though he was world champion very young, was the sort of rider who was always THERE but didn’t win. He’d **** up or just miss out all the time. He turned pro I think 86 or 87. Took him until 93 before he started winning races all over the place. The interviewer asked why the change. Fondriest said he’d simply learned how to win but couldn’t really articulate it. Even when pressed, he simply said “before I didn’t know how to win, but now I do”.

Besides the fact he’d probably sussed out his epo regime (it can take years for riders to nut out what drugs work for them and in what doses. I know this because dopers told me), it was probably more that he became cold blooded, cool, calculating, didn’t throw his strength away, and made it count when it mattered. Sometimes it was going 50km solo, other times it was waiting waiting waiting then going at the death, but he worked it out. it took a long time for him to work it out. Some riders never do.

Valverde has always known right from the time he turned pro.
Sorry just taking my mittens off, but yes. Of course. Innocents never won ****, but stagecraft didn't require drugs.
Winning with style, clean? Golden.

DPF, everyone’s favourite stud muffin playboy, Geoffrey Edelsten.

https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/flamboyant-businessman-geoffrey-edelsten-dead-at-78-c-3084120

Who was your favourite Edelsten partner? Was it Leanne “I also rooted Clive James and the Wiz and I’m so old classic1 can only find black and white photos of me” Edelsten?


Brynne “Cupid doll alleged drug dealer” Edelsten?

Gabrielle “**** I dress classy for funerals and I’m not an ex hooker but I get browny points for running around in the nuddy in Melbourne CBD” Gecko?

Vote now!
 
I think I’d choose the 944 or the 928 obscured by the helicopter. I actually like the colour too, Edelsten exhibiting rare good taste.
 
Also, that should read “kewpie doll”, but I was tired and had could not remember how to spell it.
 
Also, that should read Gabi Grecko but Gecko is funnier and she is a ***** so probably uses other creatively spelled names anyway.
 
Compare the pair. Is it just me?

Jane Bun is at the Big Freeze but isn’t taking the plunge.

The disappointment at my place is immeasurable. Almost as immeasurable as Janes cold nips if she took the plunge.

I quite like the pink Lotus. And the matching Brynne? Whichever one was in pink.
But yes RIP Geoffry. You lived Large.

I also quite like this Wog vegetable garden cover.

I'm not sure I like this simple reality of a possible future.
