Yeah well I started with Lappin... look where that got me, no points worth mentioning and he has lost 55000 in value or something and now he went and injured himself again. Bring on Gilbee I say

No idea where the tops are at. I'll have to call Cannonadale and see where my 666/13 is...oops, I mean ring the supplier and see where the tops are! Can't do it today coz I'm stuck here at Monash Uni doing this research paper. Can't say I'm in the mood.....

Can you guys suggest me a good club to ride in the Caulfield, Glenhuntly or nearby area in Melbourne.
I'm 16 and ride a sora bike. 2-3 rides a week would be fine, or 1 ride a week. The main thing is a place where there are also people my age. I've only been in one group bike ride, and that was mainly only people that worked at a bike shop, rather than the public.

Well, it appears I didn't miss much today. Fantasy Footy? And I thought FF in the states was stooopid. I played baseball for 3 years, and I think the best part was riding my bike to practice (And crackin' skulls when I pitched). I'd hate to look back on my life and think I wasted a lot of time watching sports on TV. Whoops! Fell off my soapbox.

Well, you're lucky. There's a club just near you: Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club

They have a velodrome on Leila Rd, just near Packer Park

I tried collecting Spanish flies for a few years, but I kept using them in the vain hope that one of them might work...

I don't think our accent helps Aussies out OS, what with that striking nasal ring and all. No, it has to be the good looks, cool manner, sharp wit, debonair lifestyle, and enormous beer-gut.

Scroz, they used to start showing aussie rules on sundays on bbc2 once the football season finished. That was a few years ago though so I may be a bit out of date and I wouldn't be surprised if Sky has bought the rights like everything else. You'll probably be able to find a pub in central london that's an aussie stronghold that'll be showing it. There's more foreigners in central london than english people so finding an aussie pub shouldn't be too hard either

Yeah but I have done so well by staying out of those places... oh well looks like it could be time to swallow my pride for a bit of footy. Thanks for the tip.
