Charming. People's true colors come to the fore when the truth is spoken.

I'm a pig. What a lovely place this is. A pig. The hog is represented as pig in gown.

A very dignified hog - nay the most dignified hog I have ever laid eyes on, ol' chap.

Stiff upper lip and plenty o' cracklin' eh what?

Toodle pip!

I was kind to you, decided not to post the pic, just the link, and keep the text ambiguous. I am sure you noticed.

 

[ebandit]

sorry!

You need to polish your sentence structure. There is a flicker of something intelligible there but I can't see it.

As Hog has pointed out - this is all about Wiggins apologists re-writing history. So Wiggins now becomes a working class boy who pulled himself up from the gutter, this dedication and hard work is why he is clean. It's about establishing the narrative. Just like someone else established a narrative about over-coming cancer and the laser like focus it gave him having stared death in the face and how having cheated death he would never dope.

sorry! not all of us roll our.................r's

so what's flickering on my screen..................the hog dissecting the

importance of location..............zam making endless musical references

and a petulant pout from yourself..................the death of the clinic

or just a quiet spell?

Don't worry, I'm a big boy, you could have posted the pic, as long as you weren't going to claim it as evidence

Judging by this the Cambridge era if your life was more town than gown.

Barely any idea of accuracy, nor the literacy to express it.

And this my friends is what's known as class. Or in your case lack thereof.

Townies were the poor. The locals. Deriding and belittling of the townies because they lacked a "proper" education is popular among British in attempt to put others in their place.

Thank-you for showing the board how the class system is alive and well today.

I wonder what the boy from Kilburn thinks about yourself? Shameless.

Getting back to Wiggins. Did you know he's written no less than 3 books in the last 3 years alone? Talk about a cash-in King. 3 books! All with the same story. Wiggo likes telling us his narrative. 3 times over and in 2 other Sky related books. That's 5 books.

It's not selling coz the sniffer dogs won't leave it alone mate. Reeks of whacky tobaccy

The only evidence was that without the compenation from his crash was young wiggo couldn't afford a racing bike, but wait the Hog thinks he went to Eton (maybe they shared a dorm together), its confusing.

A professional cyclist attempting to make money....Shameless.

He should be distributing his wealth to the poor and needy of the world.
Altogether now "we are the world, we are the childeren...na na na na....."

Not sure how you come to the conclusion that the three books tell the same story, one is a diary of the 2010 TDF, one an autobiography written in 2008, no overlapping ground at all. The other book hasn't even been released yet but thanks for commenting on it's content. You're right though, releasing books is clearly evidence of doping.

I'll add it to the list. So we have:

swearing
sideburns
wearing fancy clothes
coming from Maida Vale
going to award ceremonies
having picture taken with celebrities at award shows
smoking on holiday
releasing books

and finally

winning stuff on a bike

The 3rd book is already serialised so we do know the content. Thats what we're talking about. Have you not been listening?

And who said anything about doping?

We're talking about the "narrative".

Keep up son. It's not all about doping in here.

So talking of narrative, I may have got this wrong, but it appears that now it's not Wiggins, but the Hog who is the working class boy done good. . .

Starting on the mean streets of Cambridge, the Hog spent his summers as a teenager punting tourists and students around the river Cam, smiling politely for them, while deep down a burning resentment smouldered. But then, by dint of his bravery and persistence in going to school, passing A levels and applying through the UCAS system, he won a place at the dreaming spires of his dreams. Putting up with the condescension of his new peers, and living in a one bedroom flat with his mum, he passed his English and Philosophy bachelors degree, and even paid the £10 admin fee to claim his masters.

From there, he tread an unusual and perilous past, cynically 'playing' his Cambridge connections to score a job working in PR in London, all the while restlessly moving between the suburbs of Clapham (but near the Brixton borders!), Crouch End (but on the Archway end!), and Finsbury Park (well, OK then, Highbury) before settling in the little known suburb of Notting Hill - which, a little over 50 years earlier, had been the scenes of race riots.

It's a great story, which I'm sure you could get at least three books from.

That said, it's not really very street is it?

No doubt more PR though

Has someone told the Daily Mail?

Working class scrounger, using the benefits and compensation culture to claim £1700 compensation after 'hit' by a car and then spends it on a racing bike.
