I have come across him before. However, it is still worth the

I do not need to keep reviewing unmitigated liberal rot and rubbish forever
to know what I think about something. Show me an open mind and I will show
you no mind at all.

Well, I think we know that McTavish is an [censored]. Is there anything else we
need to know about him. I have an open mind on that, but I only want to hear
bad things about him. My mind is CLOSED to anything good about him. See how
easy it is to make up your mind.

Has anyone in the entire history of the world ever had anything good to say
about the Scotch. They rank right along with the French for all around
assholeness.

I thought the subject of this thread was to show appreciation about
an apparently well-liked cycling guy who recently died.

Show some respect & stop trolling the thread. I've asked nicely...

Just accept my statement that the French are a nation of [censored] and
that the Tour is nothing but [censored]. See how easy it is to get rid
of me!

<SUPPRESSES YAWN>

Hey, no way am I gonna rise to this, so don't bother further trolling.

The truth is that there's often an occasional lingering bad-fart aroma
like you in u.r.c (about every few months or so). They usually go away,
leaving other people with a newsgroup. I made the mistake of engaging
with the last one, but I don't reckon you're even worth the bother. As
such, au revoir.

Can we please eliminate the one of the remaining travesties the French
have imposed on the world - the French tire sizing system?

It is not that difficult to say ISO 622-mm and ISO 571-mm instead of
700C and 650C.

Strike a blow for logical consistency!

Ah, the French. Very cultured.... now, if they could only learn to defend
themselves and not collaborate with the enemy....

Boy Ed,

You sure seem to have it in for the French. I don't think most
Americans hated them so much when they helped you win your war of
indepenence from Britain. But that was some time ago now wasn't it.
We (in Canada) have our own issues with the French. It's called
French-Canadians. Even the French don't like them. It's the main
reason we want to decriminalize marijuana.

X, don't get me going on the French. My doctor has told me that I
cannot afford to get upset because of my high blood pressure.

Well, the French were right about the weapons of mass destruction,
weren't they? And they were right about Vietnam, too, come to think of
it... Yes, great people, the French. A real understanding of diplomacy
and realpolitik. Also intelligent, thoughtful, cultured, artistic and
creative. They also know quite a bit about cycling. In summary, about
as different from Minnesotans as it is possible to get.

What year did DIEN BIEN PHU (sp?) become part of the French vocabulary? It
should be a reminder of getting their asses kicked out of Vietnam by the
North Vietnamese.

Realpolitik is perfectly acceptable. All nations do it. But it should never
be done at the expense of core values - and the French are always doing
precisely that. Sometimes the French are not much better than the Nazis.
What was Napoleon if not another [censored]. The French would liked to have done
what [censored] did (conquer Europe), but they were too feckless and screwed up
to manage it.

Did you not read my post where I said the French only pretend to be
civilized. They aren't of course. They have always been pigs and about on
the level of Nazi Germany. May the Devil take them!

By the way, did you not know that Minnesota is part of the Heartland of
America?

Simon sounds like a French name to me, so that would explain your lack of
discrimination. You ought to emigrate to that pig sty known as France. I am
sure the English would be glad to get rid of you. An Englishman who admires
and respects the French is a contradiction in terms. It is what is known as
an oxymoron.

Tony is a man of few words which is too bad as I never know what he is
talking about. If he would use more words, then his posts would not be
wasted. Anyone know what the "plonk" stands for?

Yes, it means he doesn't want to read any more of your posts and has
therefore added you to his kill file.
