what if it was the Pope?Netserk said:Does it show nudity, violence or something similar?
My guess is that it wouldn't be a problem if it was a cartoon of an European with a bomb as a hat.

And some people could feel offended if someone had a doper as avatar. So what?Afrank said:Arab and middle eastern people could feel offended by such a image. Best to avoid it I think.
it will be a shock to you to learn that the majority of people in the world perceive blasphemy as more offensive than doping...Netserk said:And some people could feel offended if someone had a doper as avatar. So what?

surely. But this is the one we got.BigMac said:I think that if people were a bit less politically correct the world would be a better place.
sir fly said:So, what's your proposition?
sir fly said:Let's work it out a bit.
The Giro bet stays as it is.
The second bet is about Contador at the Tour podium.
Here's what I say:
The second bet is on only if Contador finishes the Giro.
You were mentioning something about Contador finishing the Tour as a condition of the second bet.
In that case I have to add my condition to the bet - Nibali, Froome, Quintana, Rodriguez finishing the Tour. Only that way it's a fair bet.
How's that working for you?
He won't podium in the circumstances we've defined.Jspear said:Ok Yes, the Giro bet stays as it is.
I guess I'll go with what you are saying for the 2nd bet.
So to sum up the 2nd bet. I'm saying AC (after doing the Giro) will podium the Tour, with Nibali, Froome, Quintana, and Jrod all still in the Tour.
You are saying he won't be competitive with all of them finishing the Tour. Right?

sir fly said:Aaaarghhhhh.....
I've lost the bet.
Looks like it's on me to encircle our long term bet...sir fly said:He won't podium in the circumstances we've defined.Jspear said:Ok Yes, the Giro bet stays as it is.

Have to say I've expected the conversion by now.

A chewing gum pic? Does it have a meaning?

sir fly said:We could make some arrangement, but I'm not sure you'll like it.Jspear said:sir fly said:Wanna bet?LaFlorecita said:In your dreamssir fly said:How will GC battle shake up?
Nothing will shake up, Froome will shake them all off!
The Tour champion doesn't come to a race to be beaten by the rivals he defeated a month ago or some young and coming hopefuls.
This will be the double of the season.he can't even stay at a consistent level for 3 weeks, there's no way he can do the double.
I'd do another avatar bet.![]()

I too don't think he'll do the double.
