Free Robert Millar book to good home

Hungrycol

Free "In Search of Robert Millar" book written by Richard Moore, hard back going FOC to a good home.

Can be collected form me here in the IFSC (lunchtime) or I can post it on though the former would be preferable.

bcmf

me.

Hungrycol

me collect or me post?

bcmf

will it fit in a jersey pocket. If so me will spin in and collect at lunchtime.

Hungrycol

Doubt it'll fit in jersey pocket, it's a hard back book so it's larger than your average bear. You'll have to carry it domestique style under your jersey.

bcmf

I will get an old jersey and make 3 pockets into 1.Should fit then.yeah?

Hungrycol

Ah janey no don't start defacing jerseys just to get a free book. I'll post it to you. PM me your address. Or if you're in the Swords Club league collect it from me tonight if you're going, just look for the scared sh!tless looking bloke!

bcmf

Ok.amnt racing the club league but will meet you at the start. What course is to-night? Or are they making yis gou up through Ardcath- Garristown AGAIN.

Hungrycol

I think they're sticking to the Corduff circuit just turining left at the Hanging Baskets to avoid the eternal road works.

bcmf

eternal road works have gone. After 18mnths and almost destroying the house just beside Murtaghs they have finally gone.
I will get info out of RobFowl about where the start is and meet you there. What you riding?

Hungrycol

Sorry to have missed you last night bcmf. I had a bit of a mare of a night in the race!

Anyhoo, you wanna PM your address and I'll post the book to you.

If someone else wants the book they can have as it wont reach me by post in time for me alcoholliers.

Have read it already. Excellent book. Great insight into one of cyclings best climbers.

[For those who haven't read it yet look away...begin rant...]
It's amazing what the media can get away with RE English Daily Mail falsely reporting on his apparent sex change operation which it turns out is totally bogus. Had the bloody nerve then to follow it up again in 2007 when Tour started in England with dodgy pictures. Infuriating. Anyone who buys that piece of toilet paper of a newspaper is a thick Gobsh*te.

Rant over Great read...

The Granada documentary is available on demonoid both as a full dvd image and an avi of the doc itself. Best part of the dvd is the coverage of his Tour stage wins - watched on Saturday night and it's fantastic

Funkyzeit

Great read alright. The man struggled socially big time but was supremely focused. Great to see him in touch with the Eurosport lads and even better he's not signing of Roberta
