Of course Gerdemann was clean, TMO also had the USP/DSC effect, as soon as the teams folded everyone became clean.

If another post of mine arrives from cyberspace please ignore this one as it seems to have gotten lost in space.

Anyway, I admit I had to Google Dudley! Also was praising your perception:) And decrying the fact that the girl I have dealings with in our Montreal office has never heard of Neil Young:( WTF with those Frenchies (big smile no offence anyone:)) I doubt she has heard of Barry either mind you!!

Never heard of Neil Young???

That is amazing.

Sorry for the thread breather, but Neil Young was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. His famous band mates (Crosby, Stills and Nash) were inducted two years later, and Steven Stills gets credit along with Neil for the induction of Buffalo Springfield that same year.

Neil was inducted way ahead of other Canadians that the lady from Montreal might know like:

Celine Dione (not yet), Alanis Morissette (not yet), Shania Twain (not yet), or even Leonard Cohen (2008).

Thanks for the thread breather! love Neil Young, no-one should be without him, also to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

As for these!! :

Celine Dione (not yet - never), Alanis Morissette (not yet - not out of the realms), Shania Twain (not yet-never), or even Leonard Cohen (2008). - NO, possibly Leonard ain't heard enough of him know he sung a song called farewell Marianne or something which was name of ex - sounded alright but can..

Neil has had his finger on the pulse of the pro peloton for years.
From the first track on the Eldorado EP, recorded 13-15/12/1988
and released 17/04/1989:

"Some might go for poison
And some might go for too much stuff
Some just go to sleep at night
And forget to wake up."

I'm not sure it's ever possible to hear enough Leonard Cohen.

You're probably right - I like his voice and style maybe need to broaden my horizons a bit there. Never thought I'd like Johnny Cash 10 years ago but love him now - thought it would be too country!
Anyway apologies to anyone thinking I'm trying to derail thread etc. - as I acknowledge this is completely off topic. It wasn't intentional :D - back to topic

I knew you turn up here following me around like a bad smell, hence the caution in my post above. Cycle Chic bully of the clinic, ironic you've posted against Armstrong, as your behaviour round here suggests that he's probably your hero.

Anyway - Do one muff muncher .. How's that for happiness?

OK, I'm going to give myself a one day ban for this continued off topic posting. But rude not to reply:)

No name yet, it should be The Queen Margaret Bridge although I also like The Kingdom Bridge.

No bikes, the existing bridge will remain open for cyclists, public transport and pedestrians.

And you couldn't predict any of this;)

Mods, how is this thread any different from the Sky thread? Seems like the same stuff... even the Mods are going off-topic on this one ;)

No different, and as from now, I'm in the sin bin until Saturday. So behave yourself peeps or the really bad Mods will be after you;)

a subject for the Saxo thread rather than the 'Sky-Con-O-Meter'? In what way has this to do with Sky conning on their merry way?

http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/535356/open-letter-from-steven-de-jongh.html

some fragments from De Jongh's Riis-esque confession.


My doping was done by me, and nobody ever forced me.

cycling was slowly getting better and I managed to win races clean. I think the ‘whereabouts system' and biological passport were great things for this sport.
a certain Aldirto cares to disagree.

hope very much to stay in this sport, and I'm sure I can play my part in its clean future.
ah, that explains your move to saxo! :rolleyes:
