Boardmans ads are getting to me and its only day 4. More than often I miss the remote to mute the annoying intro music(bring on c4 old music anyday, if I close my eyes Im in Formenterra Balerics, late 80s, wearing white 501s and heading to the beach bar...) then further punishment with Boardman sound bites 'its not a race its a state of mind' and the like. So tune in and give me some STW comedy gold please. Best one can have my ST mag collection 1-55(you will have to come and get it though)
Bike Forum
Humorous alternatives to the Boardman/ITV4 ads please. Prize on offer.

Yeah the things like "Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is blah blah blah blah blah.." are annoying me too.

I agree. However, pity poor Chris Boardman. The text probably looked ok when the fawning ad men gave him the lines, but I bet he's cringing every time he hears it now. Funny how they can get it so wrong sometimes and it just sounds corny, cheesy and naff. Gives Boardmans a bit of a naff image that they don't deserve. Who on earth looked at that ad and thought "Wow, that sounds seriously impressive, let's sign it off". Whoever it is, I bet (s)he has "motivational posters" on his wall. (Although I bet it was a "he" - women are far to sensible to be taken in by all the "yellow - it's not a colour but a state of mind" nonsense)

Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is not jacking it in after the time trials.

Also I wish Sherwin would get adventurous on his route factoids, he reminds me of a boring History teacher. things like crime stats or good bars/ cafes to mix it up.

Yellow: it's not just a colour, it's my FAVOURITE colour.
Actually, I really like purple. And red. Still, it's a really nice colour.

Yellow, its not just a colour, it's a song that has been massively overplayed.

Be grateful you didn't watch the Tour Series racing, I've been having those ads 4 weeks before Le Tour even started....

I always used to think that racing was about being the best I could be, while my fellow competitors jacked up to 60% haemocrit and no one did f'all about it
