He's one of the commentators at the southern 100 races and yes it's all of the above plus the short hairy legs, the pony tail, sunglasses, and scoopy cap topped by headphones. There's Santa beside him.0 -

She'd be better to turn the volume down a bit. Which album is twickenham on ? --- she's about 2 and a half years old isn't she?0 -

I'm not up with sport these days - what game do Twickenham play? And why are they so loud at it? They can't be that good if they are up against a team of seriously aging rockers.Faster than a tent.......0 -

Installed Cloud Ready's Chromium OS on an old laptop. Seems to be running well, now tempted with a proper Chromebook (It'll save weight and be more aero.........:) )0

Curling up on the couch with a beer, Bombay mix and bambino to watch the footy with the Hound snoring at our feet whilst the birds are out doing some stuff we neither know about or care about because we have beer, Bombay mix, a snoring Hound and the footy.
Even the MFs are behaving themselves, which is nice for a change.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Actually, no. Just a little sarcasm directed at the seemingly endless drive for weight loss and better aerodynamicsCowsham wrote:Andy9964 wrote:Installed Cloud Ready's Chromium OS on an old laptop.

Seeing a guy cycling in his normal street clothes. Nothing special so far....
With a builder's bum. That certainly didn't cheer me up. A sunburnt builder's bum though... The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Cycling past Amplgorth Abbey yesterday in the high 20’s degree when a monk strolls out in full cowl complete with green baseball cap. I guess that bald bit on your tonsure could get a bit burnt.0

That would have been an ecumenical matter - you see some funny sights when your on your bike.
When I was cycling in the mountains a few weeks ago this hare jumped out of the verge. I must have startled him cos he darted off ( like a hare ) straight down the centre of road in front of me. I wanted to see how fast a hare can actually run so I matched him for speed and started gaining on him to which he responded. This continued until I think I'd got him maxed out but then
I see this black cat standing at the corner ahead of us who had just wandered out of a farm entrance to see what the f was happening -- just when I thought my benign experiment is going to end in disaster for the poor hare, the cat weighed up the pros and cons of trying to catch a hare at full chat being chased by a nutter on a bicycle, decided to err on the side of caution and walk back into the farm.
Oh yes a hare can run at 22MPH for at least 37 seconds. He managed to jump back into the verge at the corner.0 -

Folklore says if a hare runs down a road, there will be a fire on that road. This may or may not cheer you up.Wilier Izoard XP0

Firstly, how fast was the tortoise going? and did it win?
Secondly, I have 'followed' a hare in the car before. I was off road and it got away from me when I didn't want to go much over 30 for risk of punctures0 -
