Okay. Here's my second. FARK I HATE PETA!

A bigger bunch of ******* I doubt walk this planet. Leaving aside for a second the argument on whether mulesing is cruel or not. Those dumb ******s can't seem to get through their heads that mulesing isn't exactly used widespread in Australia anyway. I live in a sheep farming area. I've got a heap of family who are sheep farmers. And I don't know of a single property in this area that does it. But according to Peta, they're mistreating their animals just by association, and have their produce defamed as a result. That's like the US saying the 9/11 bombers were Arab, so all Arabs should be killed. Hang on...

Did anyone see when that stupid Peta b1tch was on 60 minutes a couple of months back. Farkin loony didn't believe in having pets, and that fishing was cruel and shoudl be banned. And people listen to these mad _nts. :rolleyes:

A mate gave it to me and I watched it the other night. Its very 80's with plenty of bad acting and Eddy Merckx even makes a very brief appearance. Watch it!


It is without any doubt the worst film, of any genre, I have ever seen! (including 'blue velvet' & i didn't even understand what that was about!)....you'd reckon if you were gunna make a film based around cycling, the director should have some idea about the subject matter!...wouldn't ya?

Only because I thought you'd have the podium girls ready for the winner, I had to bust my gut... and for what? A bunch of flowers ?? :( My wife appreciated them though.

...I'm always serious!.....Ok, well i'm 85-86 (kinda hard to do this & read the tape at the same time!)......so does this mean I can ride my 57cm?.......

rockmuncher 12-22-04 07:10 PM

86*.663= (tadaa) 57

531Aussie 12-22-04 07:13 PM

85 x 0.66 = 56.1
