Good stuff, this is exciting. El Tonto Vs Mockler007, Saturday 16th, 2000 euro bet. Best thread in months.

The only way it could get any better is if Tim brought his bike out and decided to get in on the action.

I see. So it's not quite the 'nearly 5gs' you originally claimed?

You say in another post that you are 25. Aren't you a little old to be showing off your e-peen?

it was for pink slips at the start, which he agreed to so changing his mind midway is a bit strange.

I said for pink slips, meaning bikes, to which he replyed i will race you anytime. so to me thats taking up the offer of the bet and race!

What do pink slips have to do with bikes?

where you going with 9am man?
i was thinking around 12
its the weekend,

I thought for a man doing 5 to 7 hours training a day, a 9am start wouldn't be too late in the day for you. How about I meet you half way and we kick off at 10:30am?

We're racing for pinks.

Pinks?

Pinks, you punk! Pink slips.... ownership papers?

At least that's what I thought of when I heard "pinks", very american of you!

How about a leather racing kit with "T-Birds" on the back tonto? And a greased up wig stuck onto your helmet?

Look this is all very entertaining, but is it really necessary to turn it into a high-stakes gambling session?

How about honour, respect and a €50 donation to Santa Strike Force by the loser?

How in the came of fu*k did I miss this thread. Brilliant stuff.
Come on the Tonto.

BTW a pink slip is colloquial for permission from her indoors. Such as ' I will meet you for a jar assuming I get a pink slip'.

In that context it sounds a lot worse. Do you receive or give the "pink slip"?

If your missus is reasonable you receive the pink slip. As thanks you can give her what you like I guess.

infact its a bit of owl slagging, what this countries foundations are brought up on

Epic thread!!!

Two questions:-

What's "owl slagging"? Is that calling someone a twit?

....and if foundations are brought up on something, then surely they're not foundations - what's below them is foundations??

When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When Blood is nipped and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian's nose looks red and raw
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

Reminds me of that old story (probably apocryphal).

A small group of American tourists are walking in Kerry and stop off at a pub to wait for their laggard friends. They ask the barman whether he has anything for lunch. "I don't", he says, scratching his face, "but, sure, I could rustle up a few aul' sandwiches for you."

Half an hour later, the friends arrive. "Join us," says the waiting group, "And try these owl sandwiches. They taste just like chicken."
