Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Mass start these days, as ed said. Had about 150 odd starters last year, so you can have a long day of hurt if you want to keep up with the big dogs, but you can probably find somewhere to hide for a start.

Have you raced the Warny ed?

Remember the bit that was shown on Media Watch a couple of years ago, where Mel and Cocky had some linguistics expert on the show? The person was making a point about slang or colloquialisms, or somethink, and proceded to use the word "****" as an example. It was fkn grouse!!! It was like: "for example, if you were to use the word '****'......." The interview was cut

Someone should give that unfunny tool Kochie a good kick in the nuts.

I also heard second hand some comments that stupid bag Mel made about the new IR laws. Something along the lines of 'What is everyone complaining about. What ever happened to the old days when everyone just worked and was happy to have a job'. Thank you for your real world contribution there Mel.

Unfortunately most of us have heads more suited to radio and are not relatively attractive dumb molls who lucked out and get to work on TV.

www.mozilla.com/firefox/ i think its about 4.5 meg, copies all favourites, cookies etc over ( so you dont have to re enter all your passwords) . similar look and feel to Internet explorer but just nicer. seems " faster " as well.

and yes it runs along side internet explorer.

+ 1. They are actors, not journos.

I blame the stupid voices on Jana Wendt. At least she has the excuse that its her actual voice. The rest of them don't.

And now for something really bizarre - check out this

I stumbled on this by accident while doing some route mapping for a driving tour. Can you imagine being part of the research team?
