It's a disgrace, Joe. I blame the gubbermint mods.

Ugh, I just realised I'll now think of Joe Duffy every time I visit the cycling forum. Why did I vote for this?! I regret everything.

I didn't vote for this thread title and I therefore feel compelled to boycott the thread. In a cruelly ironic twist though the only place that I can mention that is here. I see mental torment in my future.

First moan post before Zyzz gets in here.

Today was absolutely atrocious. College from 9-4, then worked from 5-3am. I'm also dying with a cold and had to finish off assignments, which of course the windows computers in the labs refused to let me, and kept shutting off or blue-screening.

The cycle home at half 3 was weird though. Being the last person in the IFSC was creepy.

Needs " (off-topic discussion)" in the Fred title like the Camper had.

Even then, are road tax discussions off-topic for the forum (in which case they should be in this thread) or off-topic for the thread (in which case they should be in the forum)?

I respect the moronic decision of my peers, but from a purely semantic perspective this will end badly. Seems like an exercise in making work for the mods.

LOL, not even the yes campaign for the abolition of the seanad complained as much about the results from the referendum.

Was the party bus partying too much?

I do think that it needs the (off topic chat) addendum.

I hate this title so much that I wrote my first Chrome extension. I have no clue about js or what not but I knocked this up in 15 mins (thanks stackoverflow) and it works
Unzip the attached file into a folder, then in Chrome -> Extensions -> Load Unpacked Extension and point to the Fix_410 folder.
Edit the js script to put in your own favourite title

EDIT: v1.1 updated to fix the title also

It breaks the dropdown menus across the top, any chance of a fix? I like Jan and Klodi and their party bus.

No chance of a fix while I'm at work. That would take a bit more time (to learn what to do) than I have now

There's nothing more off topic than the Joe Duffy Show. Great name!!
Was planning a long pedal tomorrow to celebrate the good weather, 150k-ish, but now I can't. Hope to go out on Sunday if I can instead but probably won't get in as big a pedal :-(

The other thread should be moved to the Fashion and Appearance forum, it has no business here anyway. Splitters.
