Sr'Alan interview C+ ......

[Crankarm]

Sr'Alan interview .............

in C+ or Cycling Active.

He has 3 Pinarellos a Dogma, Prince and another. He rides 50-60 miles 3 times a week mainly around the roads of Essex where his huge country pile is located. He doesn't hang around either taking no prisoners. Neither does he take any crap from taxi drivers, "You're fired!" .

He also says that anyone who cycles without wearing a helmet is a complete idiot.

Good article though which also mentions Andrew Bond Chief Exec of ASDA who is also a cyclist and triathlete.

Worth a read in Sainsburys or Smiths .

My definition of complete idiot would be more along the lines of anyone who buys that Amstrad shite he flogs.

 

[Noodley]

...rude and arrogant.... but has made his money......

I have never got this, why do people think that cos he's made money it somehow changes things? He's a knob.

Too true, Noodles, after all you're skint

Seriously why do people say things like 'he's a complete twat, but he's made money'...why not 'he's a complete twat. end of'?' It's as if having money excuses being a twat.

Noodley isn't THAT bad

 

[Smokin Joe]

He seems alright.

Very strong on paying his tax dues, I've heard him give some forthright views on evaders.

 

[Noodley]

I think he's alright.

He's like my rich Uncle mini-cab empire owner from Essex except less dodgy. Far less dodgy!

I'm like your uncle?

Correct - still a knob....

Wasn't going to say I'd kick his butt on my 20 year old vintage machine..... an 'almost identical bike' to the C+ review of Andy Hampsten's bike from 1988 in this month's C+ Mag.........mine was from 1991 with DA 7402 8 speed.....(as it came out...ohhhhhhhhh)

 

[Crackle]

Don't tell me you also are a bankrupt pauper but living on a new build gated community in a moderate massive detached and spending six months of the year dreaming of living abroad whilst maintaining a fleet of luxury cars cats...

Closer I think.

 

[Noodley]

Closer I think.

Spookingly so
