Dear Langerdan,
Could you provide an enlarged photo which may well become my desktop background, and where on earth did you find it?

    Google "Lampre Fat Guy" and look for the images.

    Which is why I'd prefer that people ignore Kleber's thoughtless suggestion and instead google for "Lampre "I'm not fat, it's glandular" guy"

    (The most upsetting thing is that people see me and assume that Lampre are now sponsoring track sprinters)

  • Well who's piled on the pounds since their last avatar then?
    My wife, who is a paediatrician recently admitted a three year old girl who was seven and a half stone in weight in order to start a controlled diet. Her parents put it down to her glands too.
    It's not der kaiser then, or Stephen Roche after his holidays?

    LangerDan,
    You've got thighs like Mark Cavendish...
    Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs
  • Yes, you just need to knock it off in the first week of the tour.

    Knock it off? I haven't even seen it in months due to size of my gut. And anyway, shouldn't I be saving my energy for the mountains?

    LangerDan, are you RedBike from CycleChat ?

    I guess not, as he says he's from Bolton, which I presume isn't the same as Ar Mhuin na Muice !

    He's been using this image as his avatar on there for quite some time.

    No clash I guess, unless you were both to use the same forum.

    Nope - never been to Cyclechat. The work net-nanny wouldn't let me on anyhoo.

    If a clash of avatars concerns you, it might be wise to stay away from one of the Irish motoring websites. For a few weeks, most of the frequent posters decided to use the same avatar.

    Too funny

    I saw Roche at the finish of the Giro di Lombardia gran fondo on Sunday. He beat me by 5 minutes so he must be going pretty well for an old, fat fella.

    Stephen stayed in the same hotel as me and I met him as I was getting ready. We went to start together along with the guys from Dundrum (Orwell -a great bunch a guys).. The best thing is that Stephen got us up the front and I was next to him on the start line :-) Lots of pics taken

    Stephen told me afterwards that he punctured in the last 10km, so he was riding good... I had worse luck - I broke spokes in my back wheel just before Madonna del Ghisallo... But the cool thing is that I got a wheel from the Mavic neutral car following ... so cool :D:D

    No, no worries. No-one 'owns' an avatar.
    I just need to remember you're not the same person otherwise I'd get (more) confused :?

    I'd assumed Ar Mhuin na Muice was a town in Galway (not Lancashire !) but now I've Googled it I realise it's not a town at all :wink:

    With a name like LangerDan, he's got to be from the rebel county.

    No with a "gerolsteiner blend" of micera and viagra, you should be able to do both.

    Micera and viagra? Wouldn't you end up with a supposedly undetectable erection?

  • You can see the marketing boys at it now :
    "Gerolsteiner.......For that undetectable erection"
    It won't improve your looks that's for sure.
