So, how's about a sweepstake - Number of "you-know"s per minute in Brailsford post race interviews? It's like he has Tour-ettes (ba dum tish).

Current estimation is >10 "YK"s/min.

Rip

^ agreed.

The traffic light thing was an error. Needs more amusing obstacles and handicapping system accounting for apparent seriouness of entrant.

You turn up dressed as penguin - go right ahead, sir.
You turn up on BMX - 30 seconds penalty.
You turn up in team lycra - sorry sir, please wait here at the start for 10 minutes.

And a juniors race.

...... by all accounts the people who won were semi pros or retired triathletes, which wasn't really in the spirit of the race, they apparently completed the 10 laps while everyone else did 7. .

I did that race, too. Came 3rd, which was a massive shock to me. I can reassure you that I am in no way semi-pro and have never done any tri. I remember your bike - pretty nice. Mine was my normal SS commuter 'modified' by taking off the bracket for the child seat.

The guy who came second was a medical student. The winner was a german guy from a bike shop in Berlin.

The race was shortened to 9 laps I think. It certainly finished earlier than I was expecting.

I got a place in the urban cycle cross. Anyone else heard?

R.I.P. My thoughts go out to the family and friends.

I'm not suggesting restricted hours of access to *essential *(staffed) services like healthcare. Of course not, you fucking idiots.

Enjoy the descent into exploitation. Get your pleasure vicariously by continuing to aspire to the lives of the unscrupulous minority you serve - all day, all night, whenever they get the itch.

Steady on. Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my irony?! Having spent a decade of my working life being the highest qualified and lowest paid member of staff on night shifts during 100 hour weeks I'm all too aware that 'essential' services are rightly provided.

If an LBS does not provide the service that it's customers require, they will go elsewhere. Simple. Hopefully another LBS, but the internet offerings are a good option for many. That's reality. Regrettable, but true. Economics dictates that when the moral incentive of choosing the LBS is greater than the financial incentive offered by Wiggle, the LBS will get the business.

Oh yeah, let's encourage massively extended opening hours, well into anti-social hours. I mean there's no way any of us would choose to work those shitty inconvenient hours if we could help it, but we expect some other desperate schmuck to be there for our whimsical or impatient healthcare demands. They should be grateful for the job, right? They've probably made massive compromises to fit it into their lives, opting out of the more conventional social lives enjoyed by their friends, and losing out on quality time with their families, but the economy's going to collapse if people can't get their prescription or get their rash looked at on the way back home to their instant-gratification existence.

Fuck off.

Are you running my GP practice!

You read my mind.

I must be one of the 76. Am waiting patiently.

Have done it each year so far, each time fixed. 48/17 25mm tyres. Nice ride, but each time slightly more corporate than the last (the ride, not me). This year I expect the trend to continue. My advice - just go along for the ride. Registration is for losers, and of course now irrelevant as no-one will de-register, they'll just not turn up. Like for any other free-to-enter event.

Please not Cancellara, or Voigt. But chances of both are, I suspect, high.

And there was me thinking that that was what LFGSS was for?!

Facebook suicide several months ago. Best thing.

and then cooking artichokes

^^^ ...that have just arrived on the SUV that's your support vehicle.

For all of the 150 or so LPs that I own, I can remember where I bought them and pretty much my life circumstances at that time, so the listening experience is much more than just hearing the music. The same is just not true for downloaded music and particularly not single tracks.

Example - I own pretty much the entire Robert Cray Band output, which spans vinyl, CD and digital download. Best by far in terms of a 'listening experience' are the vinyls. Many more senses/memories/good times involved when putting on and listening to vinyl. I'm strongly persuaded.

Just wasted 3 minutes of my life watching the first bit. The same delusional rubbish that he's been spouting for years, but with a different angle.

His body language has 'I'm lying' all over it.

Still, Giro hats are now on sale....

Re-pun??

Don't worry, this can't go on furlong.

But not many from Fatland.

Obsessionally checked for presence many times per day. Pocket-slapping ritual. No otters molested. Honest.

Green pepper? Ready Steady Cook is long gone - you gotta let it go!

Nice paintwork. That Dulux gloss comes up darker than it looks on the tin though...

^^ and threatening posh boy baristas about interwebz beef

Lost in translation. I'm too old.

^^ by the sounds of it (and having seen just the trailer), I wouldn't get your hopes sky high.
