Pretty much this.

Averaged 18mph over a 22 miler the night before last, starting to get a bit quicker where the road points skywards. There's a cycling team based in Woolston called DHC racing, they haven't done it for a while but they've just restarted their cycling 'club', lots of group rides going on in the area. I'll be getting out there with them as soon as I can.

Henry's was really good, apart from the weather at the start of the week. We were pitching the tent in that ****ing rain and wind on Monday and didn't sleep a wink that first night. Lizard Point and Kynance Cove and the coastal paths around that area were brilliant. Went to St Mawes, Land's End, St Ives, couple of other places which were all good. Lots of good food and drink. Then the weekend in Newquay which was interesting. Some lads I know were there for the weekend so we were out in the evenings. Absolute sausage fest, must have been 10 blokes to every girl in the bars and clubs, and far too many stag dos. Lots of tw*ttish behaviour because of it and made it a weird atmosphere.

Never. Just a hunch.

Does an offer that low even warrant an official rejection? We should put in a £15m bid for Coutinho just for a laugh and a massive f*ck you to Brendan

Trigger end. Pretty much, yes. I wasn't expecting you to appreciate it, but yeah I thought it was pretty good.

Brilliant again. You may not get many replies on this thread but I bet there are loads like me who read every week and thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks for doing it!

I'm sure Sepp Blatter would rather take a bullet in the head than give up his presidency, it makes complete sense to involve the yanks in getting rid of him.

I feel we're making progress, at least you're starting to get on board with the thread topic. In summary - too many f*cking guns, and morons on the other end of them.

Cheers for the advice!

Also, what's the consensus on these Wiggle sportives? Looking at the New Forest 100 in September as something to train for.

52k earlier which is my longest ride yet. Hopefully won't be too long before that's just a quick one. One question - what do you big milers do for undercarriage protection? I know I should buy some better quality shorts, but is it going to make THAT much of a difference? Was a bit uncomfortable earlier. The roads were pretty bumpy in places but that's going to be the case in a lot of places.

Thanks for posting those. Looking forward to it, just hope the weather changes for the better. Only just double figures forecast for the weekend, that's pretty sh*t for the start of June

Top bloke, his 8 goals were massively important in our promotion campaign and he wasn't a bad defender for that league. 8 goals for a CB, great haul. Isn't Gerrard Liverpool's top scorer with 9 this season?

^^is the obvious guess for a journo trying to fill pages. He's probably right but I doubt he knows any more than we do

Good stuff. Norwich is a really good away game, Boro is a sh*thole and at the wrong end of the country. If Norwich carry on keeping the ball like they have then they'll be fine.

Tadic 8? He's been poor for about 6 months now. And Long rated better than Pelle?!

If we ever win something, then yes.

It's been pretty good entertainment and has helped me pass these boring long nightshifts. I've almost enjoyed the lunatic's company. Back to normality in a week or so, so I'll be back to catching up on this nonsense just every now and then.

I wouldn't bet on it.

You're not in Dubai by any chance are you?

Neighbour - "Hey SarniaSaint, did you hear about that firearm death down the road today?" SarniaSaint - "Yeah, well at least it wasn't murder. I heard it was just little Joey playing with his daddy's shotgun and he blew his sister's head off". *shrugs* Dumb.

Surely then it makes sense to have stricter gun laws, if lots of firearms deaths are 'accidents' and completely avoidable with a bit of common sense?

"If you spend £100m you really should be fighting for the title"

That's f*cking brilliant.
