But if the substance is ‘dual use’ one that can be used both as a performance enhancer and unknowingly ingested in a medicine?

I fail to understand what the difference is between the Olympics and other competitions. The ethos of purity? Don’t give me that BS!

Arrr…. that explains a lot! Thanks!

…maybe you can hire the A-Team…

Don’t get me started on Nectar/loyalty cards…

Having a member of staff doing what you pay them to do is even easier. Self-service is no service.

And WHY must the till use the same patronising tone reserved for three year olds? or that irritating liquid beep? I refuse to use them.

I fail to understand why the Olympics has to be celebrated in all manner of bizarre ways.

Try tightening your chainring bolts.

Make sure that the bolts holding your shoe cleats to the sole are well torqued. Many years ago while setting mine up I made the mistake of not doing so, thinking that I’d need to undo them easily for further adjustment. fortunately the resulting comedy non-unclip feet swivelling in the pedal and then flop sideways only injured my pride.

Once you get the bolt out a dab of superglue may fix the turning fitting.

Massed muppetry? Bradford West yesterday!

Boris Johnson?

How short memories are! How could anyone vote for the fool who sucked-up to Saddam Hussein and performed an excruiciationg cat impression on Celebrity Big Brother?

A Bradford Spring? No, like our current weather it be gone in a week or two.

You think this is bad? Wait until the the strike starts or if it starts to affect food distribution.

Think of this as a foretaste of what the early stages of Doomsday will be like, use this as a learning experience to be better prepared next time…

Beer with less alcohol, food with fewer calories…

They are slowly and quietly starving us…

Double-dip? No, that’ll be the fault of the extra bank holiday…

Any excuse… Didn’t we have a ‘royal’ wedding bank holiday last year?

Or more good…

There is that, but don’t discount an opportunist bout of union bashing.

So ‘what is acceptable’ is now defined by the people who are most offended by what is said?

But the unanswered question is, what do you do with the inevitable waste?

“I disagree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it” – Voltaire, I think.

But a fuel price spike won’t do the economy any good.

I don’t think so, freedom of speech applies to all or it applies to none.

It’s not the fuel ditribution but the FOOD distribution that ought to concern you all. How will fresh milk get from the farm to your fridge?

Freedom of speech applies just as much to the people who you disaggree with or who’s views you find offensive.

Much woodland may have been cleared in WW2 for agriculture.

“Half a tank is an empty tank”

This is the Daily Wail but it’s food for thought…

It astounds me that some people dream through life, expecting most services to be there and uninterrupted when they need them. They will learn the hard way.

How do you think the food gets to your local shops?

Oil-fired generation isn’t that significant when it comes to UK energy production.

Rather than allow 80 RAF tanker drivers to be retrained as scabs (hoping to compensate for 1000 drivers), Cameron would do better to see this dispute, which is about working conditions and health and safety rather than pay, sorted through arbitration. Instead I fear that heady on his latest table thumping victories he’ll want to see some union bashing, regardless of the consequences.

No one has been killed by radiation YET…

“A fairly minor event, yes”. Nuclear denial taken to a whole new level…

It’s not petrol you should be concerned about, but food. It all has to be delivered…

So Fukushima didn’t happen? the contents of four reactors can be vented into the environment and verything will be hunky-dory?

Any conservation measures need to be carried out with sensitivity. A sudden and harsh clearence can be as environmentally ‘bad’ as the problem such a clearance seeks to address.

Plausable deniabilty. It’s been going on since Richard Nixon, yet some people still fall for it.

True, but nubile, attractive, and desperate for one last shag in case ET doesn’t turn up or is late…

Proof of Clegg’s incompetence in agreeing to a coalition. If the Lib-dems wern’tt in a coalition at the moment they’d be able to turn the screw and extract more policy concessions from Cameron, but they are in too close an embrace and having the life squeezed out of them.

Cameron on the rocks? No, we are. He’ll brazen it out knowing that his tame liberal pets will stay schtum and labour are about as threatening as a loofah.

Parrot Macaw, wore quickly and burst just after I’d finished a descent. But they had purple tread…
