Down with that sort of thing
 

Now that our team is out of the world cup, can we talk about other things now? Wimbledon's on at the moment and we're half way through the Formula 1 Championships - what do you say folks?

...and Le Tour starting next week :cool:


Hope Ghana beat Brazil

Without Lance Armstrong, Le Tour is wide open this year. Personally, I'd love to see one of the Aussies ride a good race, perhaps Rogers, although Jan Ullrich will be a hard man to beat.

Portugal will be without Deco

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Of course, Savoldelli will also be one of this year's favourites for Le Tour

He'll probably win it by diving

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Got to go...Cas is coming online, so there'll be no talk of footy here :)

Her team, Ghana, are on tonight

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Yeah Armstrong has retired, but he a credit to race cycling.....

Which foreign counties are they going to this year, does anyone know?



Prediction: Spain 2 - France 1

...........( Portugal will be without Deco) - not necessarily if the Portuguese FA appeal - see BBC Sport.

..... but they should have been without Figo who was lucky enough to headbutt the Dutchman behind the ref's back!

There will be much Latin ballerina action by the Portuguese again on Saturday - you can bet on it.

Down with that sort of thing.....


....careful how you go

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Love to follow the cycling...especially with David Duffield commentating (Eurosport) - he's so funny :D Any idea whether we'll get it here - isn't SBS a partner with Eurosport?

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

he is a legend

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

He's my hero .......I learnt about Hedgehog Pie from him :D

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

I once inadvertently 'watched' the Tour De France. Was backpacking round Europe one summer, wandered out of my youth hostel to buy some fags, saw these motorbikes in the middle of the road, thought 'what the ****?', motorbikes rapidly followed by all these blokes on bicycles, rapidly followed by all these support cars. And that was it - all over in about, hmmm, 45 seconds at the most. It has to be the worst spectator sport on the planet. :)

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Yes...ok, get your drift...but good watching it on telly (camera follows see :p - and you get to see all the crashes.....and Mr Duffield cracks me up. :D

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

I want your lovely smilies!

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Can't remember where I got 'em from - but there's a whole page of good ones here .

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

OOh lovely thanks

Now I just need to work out how to use them :D

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Not sure if you can hotlink from that page. But. In Firefox, you just right-click on the image you want to use and select 'Copy Image Location'. Then put (img) but use square brackets not round ones, then press Ctrl-V to paste the location in and (/img) at the end. :)

Re: Down with that sort of thing
 

Thanks :) Hasn't got that option when I press it though - no worried I'll suss it as some point

Re: Down with that sort of thing
