BYOP88 said:Yeah if it wasn't for them Frank Schleck would still be in the race.
Now maybe an aussie can help me out, don't you call the English moaners?(Or when you say "whinging poms", does that include the Scottish,Welsh and Irish?)
Just watching this Tour, McEwen has moaned several times so too Lloyd(who I read said "they've(Euskaltel)have caused all the crashes this tour"). I guess it will only be a few days until Rogers/Renshaw and Cuddles start moaning too.
Libertine Seguros said:Poms are Britons in general but English predominantly.
It is one of the great difficulties of Anglo-Aussie relationships that Australians spend so much time moaning and whining about how much the English and British moan and whine. And then the Brits moan and whine about how hypocritical the Aussies are for calling Britons out for moaning when they do it themselves, and the Britons moaning about this only proves the Aussies' points so they continue to make them.
You also forgot to mention Graeme Brown, who isn't at the Tour but is a massive moaner and hypocrite too!

Libertine Seguros said:I think my point was that they both moan about each other moaning, and both sets are as bad as each other.
Also, Cav is from the Isle of Man. He's therefore not from Great Britain but he is from the United Kingdom. Or something like that. But sure, I'm a troll. All I contribute to this forum is baiting.
