At least I don't make a complete *** of myself accusing someone of making a stupid thread when it was not even that person. You are the worst poster on this whole entire forum and whenever you post you just post crap that you have absolutely no clue. I might actually buy you a brain for your birthday this year.

ACF was on my train to Geelong as we passed Cadel on the road!

That's not to say Cadels missus wasn't on the train...

Begs the question, how do you know it was ACF? Presumably he didn't have one of those "Hi, my name is..." stickers on. Was it just his reaction to spotting the Real Cadel Evans?

Just curious, because I've never really tried to put faces to anyone on here.

What would an ACF look like? Because I sort of once imagined ScottSoCal as a truth-dispensing hippy type that one might encounter at "far out" festivals, but other than that, I don't know.

Because ACF is Chiara and her photo is readily available ...

There was only one person on the train wearing a crash helmet and a bib.

Don't know exactly who he was, there were a few people with 'Marry Me Cadel' signs that day - but we both posted that we passed the race as it was going by the canola.

Having been forced to use Melbourne's rubbish V Line or whatever I can safely assume no other train was close.

Well ACF is a Collingwood supporter so if you picture something just slightly more evolved than the inhabitants of the ape enclosure at your local zoo then you would have a reasonable likeness. Except the apes have better dentistry.

1. Whats the difference between a Collingwood supporter and a Hawthorn supporter? Hawthorn supporters can read and write.

As i recall, ACF claimed to pass the peloton when he was on the train at some location in Melbourne and Nick BVK said he saw the exact same thing at that time, hence they must have been on the same train.

Yes indeed. I think I misinterpreted Nick's words as suggesting that he had actually seen ACF.

It's sort of creepy in a way, the idea that someone who is - in some circles - infamous has passed by your conscious without you knowing at the time.

A few years back, I had a client who books for those fan conventions where folks turn up and have stuff signed by the guy who played 'third droid on the left' in Empire Strikes Back.

Anyway, one year my client lands a big fish along with his usual cast of has-beens and bit-part players. He snags Michael Madsen.

The deal is that Madsen appears for one hour to sign autographs one Saturday afternoon in sleepy suburban England. The deal includes his transport cost from London, where he's filming some sort of vanity piece.

So they sign up Madsen, imagine this, for a regular seat on the 12:36 from London to Birmingham and a cab ride to the venue. You could be shuffling all undignified out of the toilet cubicle and suddenly come face to face with the poster boy of 90's counter-culture film who just happens to be touching cloth.

The train carriage is full of fans going to this event to see Madsen who never figure that the man himself is sitting there among them. And that was their only chance because even though Madsen was on that train, he never took the taxi to the venue. No-one knows why. My client, who inhabits a world where "Such And Such Has Cancelled Sorry" is all you get, he knows the truth but he won't say.

I would be careful if I were you. I may or may not be carrying an axe ;):p

They were going every 10 minutes and the peleton were riding at a snail's pace

Durian Rider, my friend is a Collingwood supporter and is doing his Masters in Engineering. I am also at University. We aren't all dumbarses!

Hahaha! Read: "my mate is studying this at Uni, while I'm just there. Therefore we're both smart..."
Going to Uni doesn't necessarily make one intelligent ;)

Okay, this charade has gone on long enough. I can't live with this anymore. I have to come clean. I'm Cadel.

Well, I'm a Collingwood supporter and I live in Hawthorn.... so I guess I have all bases covered. ;-)


As to ACF being Cadel - nah. Much more likely that he is Phil Ligget. After all he does come out with some erratic stories at times in his posts.

So that's how you had inside knowledge of your program.

I am not sure how this one has gone on as long as this...


I am going to shut this one down before ACF gets a persecution complex / head explodes depending on how it turns out. :)

Any good reason to leave this open?
