you get the drift. most ppl who have to get up at 5 to go to werk would have been starting to struggle just a little bit. Na stuff it, they treated the cycling as some sort of a fill in when there wasn't anything else to show. I spose we can be greatful there wasn't a freekin grass growing tournament on in Madagaska or we'd have had to sit through a month of weeding. It's a joke. Loved Le Tour, pi$$ed with the SBS presentation. :mad: |

I cannot for the life of me understand your logic. It's not as though cricketing fans in any significant numbers would have been sitting up at 2.00AM just in case the rain stopped. Then to add insult to injury, you give casual coverage of the finish and cut straight back to cricket. No presentation, no final placings, no sprinter details no fanfare. You've disappointed a whole lot of people and made many of us very angry, and I personally will be loath to watch your channel again. I think I'll accept your inference that cycling fans aren't terribly important to your channel and go watch my sport elsewhere. No speaka da anglish Ciao SBS :D |
Thursday started so well I actually thought we had a chance but by the time I'd got into work we were 21-5! Hohum. Is McGrath mellowing as he gets older? He actually complemented a Pom
|
even I was barracking for the poms so that we could get a good game :)
|
Geez, I made it to werk on time and I even feel slightly human! Apparently sleep is a good thing :)

out late again, throwing ice about, larrikins !! :)

the ex-League boys leading the young ones astray.....how surprising.

Rediculous. They're trained gorrillas. Not diplomats. It's the power that be's fault. If they want to make sure they don't get into trouble, lock them in their room. I mean, what did he do so bad anyway? They didn't maim anyone or anything. The powers that be should count themselves lucky.

yeah, it's difficult to draw the line, you can see a bunch of drunk Sth Africans in the pub baiting them up also. Only option is to say they don't go out at all which is what they should be doing.

True. Too much spare time + too much money = trouble. |
ayone MTB'ed near Bundanoon, i.e. Penrose or Wingello forests, Fitzroy Falls? Looking for an epic ride to do when I'm down there in September. Be a nice warm up for the Highland Fling in November.

If you have broadband, check the video out. Besides the race being a pisser, check the babe getting dressed 6.45 in. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=124287 |

I looked at 26inches but the trail finder thing never found anything on Penrose. It never seemed to search for me, anyway, sounds good, I contacted Wild Horizons for some pointers also, they are running the Highland Fling and maybe did the 8 hour event, not sure though.
