Tour de France Notre Equipe 2009...

[Speicher]

It has been brought to my attention that some people do not understand the meaning of rest day! You were not supposed to spend all day in bed!


The caravan has now been replaced. I asked Mr Norbert Dentressangle if we could borrow one of his trucks. He said we could borrow a refrigerated truck. Please note therefore that when you have cleaned your bicycles, you will also need to dry them, or you will have icicles on them tomorrow.

Look, no need to get so cross, hot buns are not a good idea.

Nobodies body needed me for massages, so I have been in training for a major event.

Lyon near here has three stations. There is also a Tram at Green Noble, and a vernacular railway. Does anyone want need my services this evening?

 

[Aperitif]

I think I had better have one with you Speicher.
Not for too long and not too short either...the 'medium' is the massage...

 

[Speicher]

Toulon - is south of here I think.

Toulouse, no I think we might win!

Lyon the massage bed please.

 

[Aperitif]

User1314 is hanging around somewhere - he's been in five Lyon bars...one after the other...

Has Arch triumphed yet?

 

[Speicher]

Arch has been looking for bargains at Ver Sales.

User1314, can he ride for toffee, from Montélimar?

If there is a breakaway tomorrow, the team must try to bridge the Gap before Avignon.


Please bear in mind, when you are waiting for the train at Avignon, do not stand too close to the edge of the platform. Some trains do not stop there and the TGVs travel very fast, you will get sucked off
















the platform when the train passes.

Looks like your birthday had come there Speicher...many happy returns before the final word.
I am shocked to hear that the sweet factory in Montelimar has been using the cellulose found in the pages of old encycle-opaedias to mix in with the other raw materials.
They are now giving out nougats of information.

I think everyone else has abandoned us for Radio Shack. I was at least looking for a long wave goodbye...

 

[Speicher]

As such a large quantity of sought-after fluffy yellow lions are arriving by train in Paris today, special security arrangements have been made, at Garde de Lyon.

 

[Aperitif]

It's only to be expected at a mane line station...

 

[Speicher]

I expect there will be a roaring trade in second hand lions.

Personally I would prefer to get an Eyeful of Andy Schleck's bare














white bear.

That would be in Switzerland, where Art thou, Goldau.

 

[Speicher]

I have been asked to confirm whether Magnus Backstedt is Aperitif's younger brother.

 

[Aperitif]

Well, some say that Aperitif looks like the backstedtend of a bus...and there the similarity ends I believe.
His English language enunciation was perfect...with a bit of West Country thrown in perhaps?
MB looks tall dark and handsome whereas Aperitif is just tall & darkgrubby - I think...
And Magnus is nearly named after a Walls ice cream when I can only pass muster as an appetiser, even though I'm 99% flaky...

It will soon be the football season, when real men come out to play.
