  1. Chrissy Anderson was found guilty today of producing the most frisson
    moment in the history of cycling commentary. You could 'hear' her
    blush after using the word "buggered". This was a blatant attempt to
    affront common English decency using an incongruently confrontational
    innocence and it worked.

    said "Kloden", "Klowden" and "Klorden".

    In the same sentence.

    Cannondale started out by making a kiddy trailer called "The Bugger".
    It means nothing to Americans.
