The Thread about Nothing....

[classic1]

I think I might have had my worst celebrity sighting of all time on Tuesday. Was on a tram heading up Collins St towards Southern Cross when Ricky Nixon gets on. Winner winner chicken dinner! ****s hardly aged, which is not a compliment when you've always looked 60.

Tell a lie. The worst was when I saw Pope John Paul II. He’d been dead 6 months and they had him on display under glass in St Peters. It was pretty ****ed. The Beatle Pope as people called him, which is odd as he was dead so should he have been John George I.

Saw Pope Benedict XVI as well. “Eggs” or “The Nazi Pope” as I prefer to call him. B16 to the wogs. Fortunately not dead at that point in time.

So Julian Assange is now out of jail.

Here is classic1's take.

The whole thing is ridiculous and should never ever have got to the stage it did. I generally support what Wikileaks does as governments lack transparency, corruption and war crimes should be exposed and the sun needs to be shone on them.

This does not change the fact.that Assange has some very odd views and is a weird, creepy, problematic floggo.

Watching Tour de France Unchained series 2 on Netflix.

My biggest takeaway so far is that the AG2R DS is completely retarded. A dead set spastic.

I've said this a 100 times. Maybe I've got something wrong with me, because it doesn't bother anyone else I know, but Birdie O'Donnell doing the full-on foreign accents on a lot names is torture. That Richard Hatch c*nt is even worse. It's poser ********
It's as ridiculous as this video suggests

Can't say I've noticed it that much. She'd speak Italian, rode on a wog team and lived in Italy for a while. I don't speak Italian at all and literally more than half the street i grew up in was wogs, so she is doing better than me. There are groups of houses or even whole streets in Morwell that look like Italy. You could walk into the deli and now closed Vesuvius bread shop in Church street and hear nothing but Italian. Best bread I've ever eaten BTW, including Europe, and not the only person I know who says that.

That was my big take from the show. Doesn't help that their team leader has more excuses than he has watts.

Van Aert also seems like a selfish ****. He could have dragged Jonas to a nice lead when they gapped Pogi but no, he has to feck off up the road. Similar deal on the cobbled stage where Jonas could have done with the help and Roglic had a few quick lay downs.

When Roglic did ski jumping, did he crash as much when he landed?

 

[swampy1970]

Anyone else think that Pogi is just messing with people and made it look like he had a semi bad day on the hilly stage the other day. He lost time to everyone on that second to last climb but wasn't riding like he does when he's stuffed.

Connie Carpenter's commentary sounds boring in this one, and I wonder if Bruce Jenner was practicing hairstyles for his transition

It's pretty hard not to pronounce words with the right accent once you've started speaking a language. Bridie probably speaks Italian and French as well, so she'd need to make a conscious effort to employ an Australian patios.

That wasn't the impression I got. He looked like he was trying a bit too hard after the race to make it seem like the stage went well for him. Besides, why would he waste a perfect opportunity to put some time into Jonas?

 

[paulambry]

What he did on Stage 14 is what I suspect he wanted to do on Stage 11.

Stage 15 - Why would Matthews contest the intermediate sprint against the GreenJersey who is a faffillion points ahead?

I met Connie Carpenter at the world's in Geelong.

Stage 15 - Why would Matthews contest the intermediate sprint against the GreenJersey who is a faffillion points ahead?

Good question. He's now moved up to 18th in the green jersey battle, only 220 odd points behind Gimay. Late run for the 50 euro 10th place prize in the classification.

Hunger knock, caused by a bit of hubris is my reading. Sprinted on like 39x21. He was ****ed. Won't make that mistake again. I reckon he's missed Peiper to calm down some of his exuberance.

They just passed the Casertelli memorial. Here's his bike.
