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

i think I'd rather see Lanceyboy win.

and I don't want to see that. why are people so gentle on Millar? 'Oh the poor puppy' wtf? Cheated. Busted. Fullstop.

.

Go Rogers, although it's too short for him. Still, I'll support Rogers over Millar any day

I think it comes from open admission of guilt?
Cheated = yes
Busted = yes
BANNED = yes (and rightly so!)
Gentle = Im not sure, 2 year ban, hammered in the press...? Hence the Q regarding old golden bagette Virenque?

As for Rogers, I agree I'd like to see him do something (at a tour)but not sure about his latest team move...?

Open admission after they found the shtuff in his house Oh well at least he didn't say it was his mums. Did he really cop a shellacing in the press? I don't remember a huge to do, and the last six months it seems like his return's being feted as if he's some role model, rather than a cheat. Must have a good marketing team.

On Tmobile, despite it sucking the life of plenty of hopefuls, I do believe there's good things to be learnt there, he can do worse than learn at the shoulder of the only racing TdF winner; and the timing for Rogers there may still turn out alright for him, particularly if Ulle fails to win the TdF again and retires. And Walt(getuponthe)Goodfoot seems to be such a bangup guy and all

Anyway enough of this world sport malarkey. Lets talk about matters of really significant importenance. What do YOU think Our Nicole's wedding dress is going to look like?

Nah wattsy, just dose her up on Kiddies Panadol prior to the the event. It takes the edge off the pain of the needle & so reduces the noise (& stress) levels.

Bit of a cry for 30s, then straight on the boob for some tucker and all was good.

Yeah, they generally get over it pretty quickly. My 2 were fine with it... thought they'd go ballistic.

The response to the pain of the injection is shortlived (as you observed). However, some children can get a bit of a temperature and become niggly after a vaccination, so that's what you need to watch out for. If it happens, Kiddy Panadol is the go.

My wife is not strong enough to hold the girl down and while I'll get stuck the duties, I've been known to faint at the sight of needles. I think I might still need the scotch!
