If you want to award the title 'Mister' to Armstrong, please extend that courtesy to all members of the peleton.

Slip of the finger - now corrected.

If you want to award the title 'Mister' to Armstrong, please extend that courtesy to all members of the peloton.

My sincere apologies, Mr. Hippo, I hope that this over familiarity with the non-7 times winners of the Tour De France has not spoiled your enjoyment of Cycle-Chat today.

Pip! Pip!

Surely Señor Sastre, Gospod Brajkovic and Herr Kloden?

Surely Señor Sastre, Gospod Brajkovic and Herr Kloden?

Or we just drop the honorifics and ignore the pedantry of Hippo.

Or we just drop the honorifics and ignore the pedantry of Hippo.

Good idea Mr Chuffy.

No originally I was stating a fact.

the French took exception to Armstrong originally because of his refusal to give interviews in french during his early wins in the TDF

That is a fact? I sincerely hope you're not in the judiciary. Without disrespect, that is an opinion. There is no way of testing it's validity for it to be a fact. Surely you can see that?

If you were to change "the French" to "some French people", it becomes an opinion I'd agree with.

But you simply cannot call sweeping statements 'fact'.

 

[John the Monkey]

Good idea Mr Chuffy.

I support Mr. Chuffy's motion, and further, applaud Mr. Genman's seconding it.
