TALUS

I am feeling like Porte - deep down I know I am not good enough and now it is being exposed in public.

Who saw Queen live? I stood right at front. Nearly got snapped by Freddie's chompers.

Oh yes and Scope.

I roughly agree with you but "band substance" is usually quite hardcore and you may end up looking like Mick Jagger!

Marking his territory?

Maybe he is a Hubber? They are coming for us man...!

My answer to our limited budget scenario. Only tests to licensed riders. No prize money for anybody that may win if unlicensed. Rider may not switch to licensed during a calender year (to prevent dopers switching after getting the benefit of doped training). Obviously by licensed I mean Racing License not general CSA license.

I have a pair of bibs that have actually worn through where my fat thigh rubs against the saddle but the rest still looks and fits like new. Proof that despite being used hard they last if treated well (I handwash all my bibs - they cost more than most of my other clothes).

Mollema will have to help me. Kwiatowski may disintegrate in the high mountains.

Nature breaks will be interesting.

W2W for my money. Dont know about getting in though.

Aagh. This is gonna hurt. I will drop with every stage. I may DNF without any riders left.

Go 500. I dont have much use for the bit extra on the 510.

Why is the whole world scared of lardasses? If you are fat and you make my life miserable surely I have a reason not to want to sit next to you. Make them buy wider seats - and dont feed them!

Just need oars and a big black oke with a whip.

I am not going to make Wednesday live, so as an trial for the possible future format I will do it before and the time should go as a Virtual Partner(?).

One must also consider the unmeasurable "how far will you go". Although it will be hard to test there is a definite theoretical risk for cancer later in life with especially Growth Hormone and maybe Testosterone and EPO. Some people will just go so much further. Slightly off topic: Is it really likely that the female peleton is so untainted and clean?

Spatz. Think the resident band was 909. I had the hots for the lead singer. Blondie. Warrior Arms - I can remember going in....

Farm Inn. Strip shows at the President Hotel (only down to nipple caps). Carlton League against Iscor. Northcliff Bowls. Sterland in Hilbrow. Grensvegter photo books. Champagne bowl in Margate. Aaah Margate...

Pity so few people were brave enough. Always is good training and Centurion has this one running smooth by now. The drag from the stables always hurts.

That jersey is always biased

Problem is that most people don't like the real answers.

I wonder who is fixated on the money.... Also wonder what he does if he gets seen on time and more importantly what would happen if this was to become the norm and little madmarc broke his arm. He will have to wait until everybody with appointments (and moronic attitudes) have been seen and then asked to pay up front because his Dad has proven to be an idiot.

1) You really needed the op - according to "the best in the country" and AN Other. This implies you either already had damage or it was impending. 2) 310k for surgical fees will be some record for any routine surgery - clearly you had a very complicated situation. 3) 8months off work is very long - clearly not a routine situation. 4) Being replaced at work has nothing to do and can hardly be part of your issue with the medical treatment. So: did the outcome of your condition change (are you as bad as you would have been)? If your Dr was negligent he quickly went from the best to a knob. Surely his practise has now died away. I think you may be pissed at nature dealing you a bad hand. PS: I have always wanted to see this Ranking List for Surgeons - where can I find it?

Oh OK. Then it must be true - they must be wrong. Nice contribution from you. Really cleared things up. You feel anybody else should be called knobs?
