  1. Well done Tommy Voeckler on his win, and also to the indestructable Jens Voight. First 'big' day passed wthout too much apparent worry for SKY, but bigger climbs tomorrow. Where will Evans make his bid ?

    Lord Reforms

    Your last line contradicts much of the previous diatribe. The Lords has the Bishops, ( what exactly have they done to justify their position ? What happened to the separation of Church and State ? ). It also has the remaining hereditary peers - former hoorays who dropped lucky by being descended from land grabbing Norman invaders. Finally, there are all the former members of the Commons, promoted for their loyalty and service - rewarded for time served following the party whip. Back this lot up with businessmen who bought favours from whichever Government they 'donated' their money to, and you end up with the current upper chamber.

    Agreed, but it's fun to watch the Tory front bench squirming around trying to appease the LDs against the will of their junior MPs - and an innovative solution, if you think you are going to lose a vote, just withdraw it.
  4. Done this at Goodison ( corporate benevolence ); OT ( borrowed an ST ), Bloomfield Road ( with pals from work ), Ewood Park ( free tickets to my neices' school ), the Reebok, and Christie Park ( when Saints played a friendly under Dave Jones ).

    It might even bring down this bl00dy coalition farce.
  6. Holland http://maps.google.com/maps?q=up+holland&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl
  7. JT should feel at home in court, his family have spent a lot of time there.
  8. Well done Wiggo & Froome.
  9. These blokes are nutters : the result of yesterday's Bowland Badass..... http://bowlandbadass.com/ Too much like masochism for me ! I've done about a quarter of it in one go, and that was enough.
  10. Presumably you agree with the need for strengthening the squad, and many of these additions will be brought in with the intention of their being first 11 starters, ( otherwise it defeats the theory of 'only bring in players who are better than those we have' ). In which case, several of last years first team squad will have to make way, if only by being shunted onto the bench. Last years squad was never going to be good enough.
  11. Marray.
  12. I think Chappers will leave before Hammond.
  13. I let David Cameron think he runs the country.
  14. I bet Cadel Evans thought he had won with 200m to go, only to see Froome cruise past him. Superb effort by SKY, but a much bigger test tomorrow now Wiggo is in yellow.
  15. Yyou can only do a data subject access if you are the 'data subject', so change the signature to "Dog", and claim you are asking for information held about 'you'. Then resend the message, but change the sig to "Turkish". The mods will never notice.
  16. Not quite that standard, but fwiw - Spec Secteur Elite, SRAM APEX groupset. Did a few test rides, finally put this up against a TREK 2.1 and decided the Spec felt safer going downhill, important given a lot of my riding is around the Bowland Fells.
  17. Taking the bra off the 'Deb'.
  18. The Skates will finally accept a place in the BSq ?
  19. Is that the true figure, or the one they have manipulated to make things look more promising than they might actually be ?
  20. Up to 30 police officers, and could last more than 4 years - what a pointless waste. What we need is 'Truth and Reconciliation' like in RSA.
  21. Much like Louise "I've done class A drugs but I won't tell you which ones" Mensch. I thought it was a pretty poor panel TBH, and it didn't have the quality of debate that previous shows have delivered.
  22. Are they allowed to eat pot noodles ?
  23. Boo Boo
  24. Touchy ! Frightened you won't be top of the table ?
