Knighthood for Chris Froome?

[Justinslow]

No it's not opinion, referring to football as wendyball is pathetic in the extreme, and has other less savoury connotations as has been pointed out by @User13710 and @coffeejo, suggesting that athletes in other sports have less prowess or less athletic ability purely because you don't particularly like the sport they are involved in is also pathetic and utterly twerpish, and if you think that the post I was replying to, the one which you liked, was adding to the "healthy debate" then you're sorely mistaken.

I liked it because it made me laugh!

You rotter! She told me I was her first....

We desperately need a Tour winner who bloomin' loves Dubstep, I'm sure you agree.

I hope to one day see a black metal cyclist bombing up Alpe d'Huez in full corpse paint.

They'd have to ride for MTN-Qhubeka, can you imagine if they were in Tinkoff kit?!

Darts, snooker?

What about them?

Lampre, I reckon.

Jesus. That would be some sight!

This is another SKY moment..."Arise Sir Geraint!" Well, he had a Lampre post in his Tour, didn't he?

Was the Dandy published in 1920?

Stop being ageist. Is that how you spell agist? Nobber? Daffodill? What has gone wrong with everyone this morning? Ease up. Froome won. Let's be happy.

(I'll swap you your Dandys for my Valiants, Rich. Unless you've got a Bunty or two lurking...)

Actually I was being rich p-ist

I expect he is now!

 

[ColinJ]

Don't be a clot....

*cough*

 

[Aperitif]

Rich is good at being that himself!

Mugshot first...me second. Rich P under the podium after a rockymountain stage in the Tour de Forum.

OMG, what have I started...

Froome has a red jersey on in that photo, Rich. This cycling lark is a bit of a lotto, I reckon.

[QUOTE 3823283, member: 43827"]What purpose? Other than fooling the ref.
[/QUOTE]
And, in the over the top style of a melodrama in the theatre, getting the spectators to howl and whistle to put pressure on the ref. The overacting is not primarily for the ref's sake - he's not far away and doesn't need the 2nd-rate theatre - it's engaging/manipulating the fans.
