    You might want to go onto the Manchester United fan's forum and watch a proper meltdown!

    Amazing stuff. Exactly what you would expect of manure fans.
    I worked with a guy who thought Fergie was God, Man U were the best EVER, and getting Mourinho as manager was his wet dream. I predicted this exact situation and would like to hear his opinions now but can't be arsed.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    It's well good.

    RAI have even bought a new camera to film it with so it doesn't look like a home movie from the 80s.

    All the nice girls love a sailor, but, they should never do marching, or drill of any form. It’s embarrassing.

    +1 to this. One of the best things ever is when you get together with a group of mates for a proper night on the ale. You know, the sort that happens infrequently due to work, family, etc. You’re staying together at a mates or something. The morning after you’re all suffering a bit, but having a few brews, bacon sarnies and chatting about the night before, what a great time you had, has anyone seen Dave, that sort of thing. The group lightweight is going green, the harder cases are thinking about another beer.
    Sometimes more fun than the session on the ale itself :mrgreen:

    At my sister in law's wedding, about twenty of her husband's friends came up the day before and during the evening one hell of a session took place, there was some very fuzzy heads the next morning but a morning run, a huge fry up and shite load of black coffee and we were nearly good to go, luckily the wedding wasn't until three in the afternoon!
    As you say the morning sat in the hotel lounge recounting the night before was an enormously enjoyable part of the wedding day.

    He is the current hero in cycling just now as far as I am concerned.
    Then again, so was Pantani. I hope the French will be kind but I doubt it.

    LA was a metronome and to the French, worse than that; an American, a drug taking American.
    Froome (for all his dignity and lack of ego) is a little bit metronomic.
    Yates just smiles and has a magnetic personality. I'm sure that's more endearing to the French than Froome,
    God help Froome's reception at the TdF. Some of the fans behaviour previously has been abhorrent.
    And i'm sure i' preaching to the converted.

    My TomTom. Watching it plot an unusual way to work avoiding the clusterfcuk that is the A14, so the 8 miles of stationary traffic delayed me by a mere 2 minutes :D

    Out for a lunchtime run, I spotted baby birds (goslings) on the canal for the first time this year. I was wondering when they would start appearing.

    And passing the people who are passing the guys who have just come out of winter hibernation.

    MF likes to do it sitting up and saying a cheery hello. He generally finds them to be members of cycling clubs who think they are PRO because they have just overtaken someone on a bicycle.

    I like to do it on my hybrid. They tend to get really annoyed about that, but then again they are usually miserable farts.

    I'm usually the one being passed whilst blowing out my beeehind. If passing a fat bloke gives you a buzz, then fair play. I'm just happy to be out :D
