Apparently this makes her a hate figure to some. But give her a Grand Chapeau.

Aye, but she still looks like a crow."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

I'll let you in on my secret doper detection method. It has never failed me so far.
When someone in their late 20s suddenly has a vast improvement and starts winning left and right, they are doping.
Wow, you should work for the UCI with insight like that or maybe even British Cycling/Sky, I mean it's not like Brailsford ever got any results is it? Bit strong to HATE someone because they dropped the ball on JTL, it's not like he went round and murdered your family is it?
Anyway, you never answered why you hate Sky and their "Apologists" I think it may be because you are just an internet troll, who as far as I can see has only posted about doping on here and has no actual love for the sport. I'll say this before the thread gets locked as every one you seem to meddle in eventually gets locked...0 -

Its the BB stuff...she gets on me goat for that...
She was always very charming when she did Street Mate. I often suspected most of the men on the show would have preferred a date with her. I like to think that afterwards she was simply paid to be..er.. a b1tch, but I suspect I could be wrong.
From the interviews she has been giving on BBC breakfast, it seems she is absolutely shattered and has raised lots of money. Hard to criticise for that.0 -

Corrected for you.0 -
I know a bloke who appeared on Street Mate. Also one of my best friends appeared on programme she did for Sky in the late 90s called Prickly Heat. Both only had good things to say about her.TheBigBean wrote:She was always very charming when she did Street Mate.

I don't hate Davina McCall. But then I never watched Big Brother. God I'm dull.Correlation is not causation.0

So, would he have preferred a date with Davina?0 -
Definitely. He had no interest in his official 'date'.TheBigBean wrote:RichN95 wrote:

I never hated Davina, I never much fancied her either though...I reckon she'd be great on a night on the lash i have to say. Can we get Paul to get here to the next London Social maybe?
I don't think she's the best TV Presenter in the world but I don't think she's the worst either...she does to a little bit too much of the millionaire "final answer", "sure?", *insanely long pause* "we ll find out after the break" crap but everyone appears to have to do that now.

'Tis alright RR I have an obsessively tidy house (a bit Cavlike OCD me), but then I did just out myself as dull (I really am, its true, I've accepted it).Correlation is not causation.0 -

Her background story on Who Do You Think You Are (soz, everyone) was pretty interesting - she's overcome addiction to booze and the hard stuff0 -

Mmmm, Ricco and Kohl fall into the category of late 20 bloomers?

Clean riders that have done the same, in order of biggest improvement: Froome, Wiggins, Cobo0 -
To avoid accusations of libel I'd remove JTL from your list, The Truth. He has only been accused of irregularities in his blood passport data, not convicted of doping. Therefore, he is not an official doper.
As for Davina McCall, wasn't her French great grandad or something involved in the whole Dreyfus affair in a good way, i.e. he wasn't an anti-semite? He was a friend of Zola etc.? Was he something in the police force? I can't quite remember it.Correlation is not causation.0 -

Her great grandfather was head of the French police in the 1900s, and stood by Dreyfus when he was scapegoated, providing testimony for his defence. After Dreyfus was imprisoned, Zola wrote a public letter of protest which was published in one of the big French newspapers, drawing the attention of people outside France to the injustice, and eventually the French caved in to the international pressue and released Dreyfus.
There endeth the lesson for Monday

Ah merci mes petit choux-fleurs. The Zola J'accuse bit I remember but I couldn't quite remember Monsieur Hennion's exact involvement. Le géant blond apparently, sounds like a good name for a beer.Correlation is not causation.0

Awfully sorry. Hope he won't sue me.
Does anyone know what happened to Cobo by the way? Such a great talent.0 -

What do you mean?
old guy, no one remembers who he is, get's lucky, beats opponents who are tired/broken/not that in to it really having had other plans, wins
The next year no one gives them the freedom they had before as they re the "Vuelta Champion" and they end up back in mid table obscurity again until they re forgotten. Lets be honest Horner and Cobo should have just retired on their highs but I imagine the lure of cashing in one last time would tempt most people
