Best funk song ever.

He lived a life thats for sure. I saw him with Gong mid nineties. One of the best gigs i’ve ever been to. I was smashed off my face and I think he was to but don’t tell anyone.

Suppose i just need to get out and see what happens. We’re supposed to be moving in a couple of weeks to place which is very accessible to the canal. I’ll take the kids to look after me.?

Just been looking at the runsweet forum about running. Seems really complicated. Hope its not going to be too hard getting back on my bike.

Gary, I’m a couple of weeks ahead of your son and I’m starting to get used to the finger pricking and injections now. I had a bit of a rough patch a week or so back when it was getting to me a fair bit but now it’s becoming normal and much easier.

I’m looking forward to getting back to normal(ish) life soon and am feeling stronger and happier.

I thought Kristof had that then but a fine win for Cav. Enjoyed Gilberts late attack but he never quite got queer.
Bouhani barely stayed on there. A good weekend for the brits after the track worlds.

Excellent. That was brilliant riding. A well deserved win.

He seems to be using his head more. He was impressive in andulucia early this month. I’m supporting him in this years tdf especially with Nibali being a bit doubtful.

Looking forward to it. Got some good excuses for staying in and watching for the next few weeks as well.

Gary i am the same. The morning injections are fairly easy but in the evening i find myself taking too long with the needle hovering over my skin. I’m trying to approach it like riding my bike. If you think too much about a tricky section you won’t do it.

FWIW if it was one of my children going through this i would be beside myself with worry. I’m glad its me and not them.

Does anyone have any advice on drawing blood. It’s just taken me three attempts before lunch and I’m finding it quite frustrating.

How many glucose tablets do you take? Yesterday i had a bottle of lucozade, a glucose tablet, 3 roast potatoes and 2 Yorkshire pudding. This was obviously too much because at bedtime i was14.9.

AND get a degree of sympathy with little or no comeback!

At the moment my hypos make me feel week, shakey and a bit sweaty. So it fairly obvious but i was down to 1.6 yesterday before i noticed. I’ve been using jelly or lucozade but I’m trying glucose tablets for convenience now.

Gary i have also been put on the basal bolus one. My problem at the moment is as I’m feeling better I’m doing more but I’m having regular hypos. My insulin doses are quite low so presumably im still producing some insulin. There is a lot to try and understand at this point.

I was diagnosed last week as type 1. A few days in hospital and then back to a world thats changed a lot. The good news is i feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it now and my blood is starting to settle down a bit. Good luck to the op. If I’m honest the first few days were fairly terrifying. But I’m reassured by people and this thread that things will become much easier.

But this is money he committed fraud to get. Why should he not pay it back?

I have the same b&o speakers except some idiot knocked the grills off slightly ripping the base driver – on both. Still sound good though.

Yes. Caught that earlier. “We were supposed to be the good guys”.

Not sure where to get these or if they come in black but…

There’s nothing new there. Most people made up their mind a long time ago. The interview just seems irrelevant.

Good to see this back.

From today’s ride.

My wife got me an erm.. small poster.

Managed an hour earlier. Went over the bars. Thought “nooo. Not on christmas day.” But no harm done. Just bruised and scratched shins. All good fun.?

Excellent.

Just found out about this. A real shame. He gave so much to a performance. Rip

Rings a bell. Could it be Big audio Dynamite?

Maybe his hands were cold.

Tut tut. No helmet.

As a kid I once failed to unclip at a junction falling into my dad, leaving us both lying in the road just as a club came around the corner.

I once rode so hard into the back of my Dad’s bike when he stopped without me noticing that parts had to be removed so that the bikes could be separated. This was all in front of the Liverpool to Southport charity bike ride with hundreds of riders passing on the other side of the road.

I fell of on a road with no cars, no obstacles so badly I spent two nights in hospital with concussion, a broken arm and more road rash on my face than skin. Still to this day no Iidea why.

Came off on a corner in a crit on some dog shit in front of a group of girls.

The list is endless. Embarrassing at the time no doubt but funny now. Chin up gti j. In a few weeks it’ll be an amusing story.

Also in true Cav style would mean taking out half the bunch too.

Love this film.

The name on the grave is……..

Cynic-al. Just to be clear I was having a dig at people who insist it’s all just his persona, a character that he plays. It’s not. He really is a pillock as I stated later in that post.

Coincidence my arse. The trouble with the Argentinians is they don’t understand that it’s just a joke. If they understood the character that Clarkson was playing I’m sure they would have laughed along.

Top gear pillocks.

Looking forward to this. Good chance for Kwaitkowski to show off his new jersey.

I’ll bet the chap who’s dead would not want the UK charging in all guns blazing because of this.

Terrible news.

Could be anyone today. So I’m going to say Degenkolb. This rain will make it interesting.

Surprised there was no coverage on eurosport. This is the last 15 minutes from steephill.

Though that would definately go to Martin. I’ll bet he did too. He’s been really strong all year.

Great result.

WIGGO, WIGGO, WIGGO!!

It was a bit of an odd route for me. More of a long crit than a road race. That said it ended up being a good race. They rode the first half like a crit then the rest like a classic.
