Something to do with checking it’s not spam, it will update later and show the real figure.

It’s a frightening video, are we sure it’s real??

edit: beaten to it by jfletch

the groundbreaking title there is Kick Off.

I forgot all about Kick-Off! Although Sensible Soccer was better..

GTA3 – rekindled my love of gaming, the ability to cause utter carnage was outstanding.

Halo2 – my first online gaming experience.

COD:MW (the first modern warfare) – stunning, stunning game.

Other notable mentions:

Micro-Machines on the SNES – 4 of us playing it sharing a controller between 2.

Elite, obviously.

Harrier Attack on the Speccy – we used to have lunch in a mates house who lived near school and play it non-stop.

Syndicate on the Amiga.

+1 for the Altura Attacks, I had the Endura ones but prefer the fit on the attacks.

Almost 200 ahead with 4 wickets remaining, pretty decent.

Top notch!

Luxemborg take the piss with low rates.

Why do we put up with this? Tax “havens” within the heart of Europe.

I’d be all for kicking them out of the EU and imposing massive taxes on anything coming out of there.

Not been to Oslo but have a mate who works in Vienna. Amazing city, regularly top or near the top in all the best cities to live surveys. Transport is ace – large underground system and extensive tram network. Loads of cycling lanes also.

Only negative my mate comments on is the mildly right wing/ racist attitudes although never noticed it myself.

**drops all pretence of work and starts to ponder the 0532 issue**

edit: bonus points for the person who can find the most interesting (SFW) IMG_0532 on google images.

“having great fun no doubt” – classic :-)

The police checkpoint at Tarbet really confuses me.

I’ve been stopped there, coming back from doing the Glen Loin loop. Caked in mud and bikes on the roof..

Plod “You boys been biking then?”
Moi “yep, just up the road at Arrochar”

He then gave the car a right good check over and send us on our way.

You would have thought I was a terrorist from his attitude, although to be fair I think there is a drink drive issue round that area.

Jens Voigt finally gives his thoughts on the doping issues here[/url]. It’s a good read.

I started listening to the 5live podcast Peddlers – Cycling’s Dirty Truth well worth a listen.

(you need to scroll down a bit for the download link)

Cadel Evans has put a piece on his website.

“I hope that people remember that the events being uncovered mostly occurred seven or more years ago, amongst a minority of those involved in a sport which has already changed and moved on”

:roll:

I would also argue the case for a diet that isn’t the one the human body isn’t designed for. ie vegetarian.

Go on then, argue away…

Sorry, more speculation on LaLa here..

The Confession[/url]

From David Millar on twitter

“Dear Rabobank, you were part of the problem. How dare you walk away from your young clean guys who are part of the solution. Sickening.”

Rabobank end sponsorship of pro cycling..

“We are not confident that this will change for the better in the foreseeable future”

How many more will follow suit?

+1 for molgrips, people appear to have forgotten that it’s the conservatives who done this..

What choice does he have? Bring down the government and end up with a tory only government?

1971 2p coin.

pockets are for coins

For a self pleasure fumble in front of the shop assistant?

The original iPad is still a good bit of kit, you only notice the speed when you compare it to a newer version. Still using mine quite happily and no intention of changing any-time soon.

and were travelling at about 40 mph

What was the speed limit on the road?

Hugh Porter is so bad he actually makes me wish that the Lance apologist was commentating. At least Rob Hayles is on the ball.

Make sure when you are installing the cable to the caliper you preload the arm before you tighten the cable nut

Cheers for that advice, just spent ages trying to sort mine out and that little trick done the job!

or is he just trying to win lance back despite everything ?

:-)

Supose trying to think what you’d do in their situation is one way of looking at it. I probably (when young) would not have stood the test.

Completely agree, however there comes a point when you should just stand up and admit it.

Just been reading The Times and they have Hamilton as saying that “owning up could be the best thing that he (Armstrong) ever does”.

Time to call it a day Phil.

+1 for that, he was also pretty useless in the Tour commentary this year.

Cards on the table here – I’m a massive Lance fanboi (almost as much as Hora) but there is no way I can now defend or think he was clean. Hopefully all the evidence comes out in the open to end it once and for all.

If anyone has not seen it, Jens has posted power outputs on a recent stage victory in the states linkage here make sure you read the comments :-)

ETA – and if “genetic” – ie he always had it in him, how come his earlier performances were (comparatively) so poor…?

He was a lot heavier, almost sprinter like in build.

The comments are quite interesting (if you ignore the fanboi/hater ones)

This one in particular

“The piece is too slanted to be taken seriously, but the author does make one good point. The practice of mandatory arbitration should be abolished. It amounts to nothing more than wielding monopoly power to strip citizens of their right to due process”

LA Times article…

not biased what so ever..

they’ve got next to sod all mud clearance

How bad an issue is this? I’m looking at getting the 2013 Croix de fer but if tyre clearance is an issue then it’s pointless.

But wikileaks was set up by the CIA to stop the real truth ever getting out.

Classic – Assange is a double agent! :D

I’ll echo all the comments above, got the 2 seconds XXL III tent. Easy to put up, requires a bit more effort to take down but gets easier when you’ve done it a few times.

is the central area because the groundsheet is not integral so you tend to get a few creepy crawlies visiting.

That’s my only minor criticism also.

+1 for the Wipperman, far better than anything else.

I think it’s fine as is, a post count beside each user would only encourage the usual suspects to post even more to achieve a “big hitter” post count.

The link Hora demanded with a positive test for Lance.

That’s the link that proves he’s a doper? :roll:

He has a positive test

I asked on a previous page for a source, no one has yet responded?

No he has failed drug tests in the tour they were covered up

This gets mentioned a lot, do you have a source for it?

Anyone catch this last night? Worth going to the ITV4 player to watch it?
