Thought I was the odd one for watching it occasionally for the scenery.

Was never much of a fan of Nico - I preferred his cousin Dan. There was something authentic about him, both as a cyclist and in interview.

As to losing interest - it was more so that I wasn't prepared to pull the wool over my eyes any more. Cycling has always had huge issues with cheating and for so long I looked the other way but the muted response from the professional peloton to Armstrong's final dismissal was the last straw. From the administrators to team management to the cycling press and the riders themselves, they were all complicit, and in 2012 I decided that none of them really wanted to deal with the massive issues in the sport and would rather carry on as I had done as a spectator. So that was me out.

There's a mini podcast there about how the organisers of the TdF realised they could make better use of the scenery.

The black cloud that often seems to be spewing out the back of Expressway buses. Also their fondness for tailgating.

Whatsapp have made themselves into a contact and keep sending me rubbish.

Strumms

people who make a mistake and subsequently try implicate others to deflect from their blunder.

just put your hand up, fix it and get on with your day ffs.. nobody will remember your mistake in an hour or two, but now will remember the silliness of you blaming other people..

On holiday websites and you have to enter your kids ages.

Some of them only count a child as up to 12yrs old.

I mean, in what world is a 13yr old an adult?

Law defines the age of a child, yet the holiday websites can just knock years off it at a whim to profiteer.

Was there a Rant thread here before, where you could unleash about everything and anything??

When you buy a block of cheese and the packet is basically shrinkwrapped around it. So unless you cut off a good sized chunk, it's night on impossible to get it back into the packet.
