Hey!

I wear ankle socks and my legs are just as hairy as colms.

It's the look! :cool:

No it's not. The Campaign against Hobbits in Cycling starts here.

(In fairness Colm is about 6 times taller than Bilbo Baggins).

Probably best if ye never meet, the laws of velcro dictate that yer legs would fuse together requiring a chainsaw to separate ye. I'm not sure what would constitute a safe distance, it's a factor of the volume of hair, probably allow for a county or two.

So the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are ignoring the (north) west of Ireland? Typical bloody Bord Failte again, they really need to get their act together to promote that part of the country.

From regular feature in Galway City Tribune, "Galway in days gone by", 21st December 2012

1962: Teenagers too smart

“All over my district, boys and girls attending secondary and vocational schools — what are commonly called teenagers — are committing this offence.

“If there were ten of them they would be riding abreast, and the extraordinary thing is that when they were attending national schools they were an example of good manners, even to walking on the margins.

“When they get to this age apparently they are too smart. My usual fine for this offence is ten shillings, but having regard to their being five abreast here, I will increase the fines to twenty shillings each, to be paid by the parent in each case because I believe that if the parents added their voices to that of the Gardaí, they would be heeded, but the parents never do raise their voices,” said District Justice Loftus at Glenamaddy Court, when five teenagers were summoned for cycling more than two abreast on 24th November last.

I had that nice smug feeling on the cycle home from work last night.:)

A boy racer in a skangermobile overtook me very closely on a bend and forced an oncoming car to take evasive action to prevent a collision.

It happens occasionally but this time the next car behind happened to be an unmarked Mondeo. Cue lights and sirens and a meek looking driver getting a bollocking further up the road.

Pity they weren't around more often!

BMC rider underwent surgery on fractured femur Friday

Alessandro Ballan may be facing the loss of one of his kidneys, after losing his spleen and fracturing his femur and three ribs in a training camp crash. The BMC rider had surgery on the femur Friday, his second operation within 24 hours. His spleen was removed in emergency surgery shortly after the crash.

Ballan has been kept sedated Thursday night, but doctors expected to gradually return him to consciousness today if there were no further complications. The surgery on his left femur occurred Friday evening.

shame hope he gets through it
