A coffee and a small Danish.

One can. But I don't have the guts to try that. Also, with contact lenses that I can sleep with and who never irritate me, it's almost as if I have a normal vision.

Same here, altough I always got the "we can't guarantee it will fix your vision 100%". And honestly, my glasses don't bother me so I'm still wearing them.
I do use lenses when playing basketball but I really can't bare to keep them in for more than 2 hours.

Edit: Also, the amount of times they have protected me from accidentaly hooking my own face whilst fishing is nice.

A fact free thread ...

So everyone here has perfect 20-20 vision. Good to know

Aaah, but since it's a fact free thread the fact that that topcat stated it's a fact free thread is also not a fact.

See... makes sense!

So Topcat's rule is as widely and consistently applied as a UCI rule: got it.

No, it's applied 100%, even when it sort of causes a paradox.

Excuse me! I'm gonna go have a serious talk with some people!

So, Pogacar wearing ciclamino* shorts on stage 3 of the Giro gave my an idea:
If a rider owns more than one leader's jersey in a stage race, then (s)he should be allowed to combine equipment.
So, for example; in the 2021 TdF Pogacar should have been allowed to wear a yellow jersey, polka-dot shorts, and white gloves/helmet/shoes.

*Yes, I know it was supposedly not ciclamino. My eyes told me otherwise.

Let me introduce you to the Combination Jersey from days of Tour de France's past

Except, it should only be for classifications a rider actually leads.

Pogacar wasn't leading the sprint classification

Exactly. So that jersey wouldn't have worked for him.

@Samu Cuenca & @RedheadDane, please tell me: is there any decent song in this year's Eurovision?

I‘m neither Samu nor RhD, but:
The Netherlands, but they are disqualified

I see the bookies have Croatia, Israel and Switzerland as the favourites. Any personal favourite?

Dunno... not watching... kinda lost interest a few years ago.

Ireland. We deliberately lose the Eurovision most years. We don't need the expense or hassle of hosting it. Back in the day, we could win it easier than Pog winning the giro.

When will you let Sean Kelly sing or mumble rap or something? I would vote for that.

I think France is my favourite. I did like the Dutch entry, purely for entertainment reasons, but the Finnish one is the funniest one anyway.

He can't be any worse than a singing turkey.

Is that a comment on the witch?

No, Dustin the Turkey from 2008.

 

[topcat]

No, Dustin the Turkey from 2008.

It should be noted that having a Turkey represent us should give some insight into the Irish psych. Will this really fly? We'll make it fly. Those fools on the continent will love it.

My best mate's fiancee is a pharmacist and she told me this story a week ago:

So during the classics season this dude walks into the pharmacy and hands her a receipt. Now, obviously he doesn't speak Dutch so whilst she's waiting for the prescription to come through and be processed he starts telling her about how he's a cyclist and a former World Champion.
Mind you, she didn't ask, he's just boasting about this.

Now, my question would be. Who do you think it was? And I'm gonna give you a hint. He's not in your first five choices.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Cipo is still in jail afaik so it can‘t be him even though he would be the no.1 person to do this, but you said it‘s less obvious. I hate these questions.
Wait, is the person still riding?
