8-0 To Watford Billiards, American Football, Basketball and any form of car racing but NASCAR is the worst
Ah, yes, so I was. Comfortable mid table positions make me snooze off. Olympic martial arts. They’re not arts, they’re barely martial & these days ‘Olympic’ don’t impress me overly. Kelso, let me play you in with a Capoue style blind pass...
The testosterone which courses around Richmond Park at 10am every weekend is a poor argument for the sport.
Are you trying to claim you rode an old mountain bike from London to Paris in flip flops in what was presumably an event that lasted three days? At least try to pretend you aren't lying. P.S. I've never worn lycra and am not a fan of cycling as a sport either, although it's a fantastic transport option.
Inviting people to name their least favourite sports has incurred a display of astonishing and shameless ignorance. No wonder football fans have a bad reputation. I’ve got this strange idea that not liking watching a sport doesn’t reeeeaaaaallllly entitle you to claim it’s as much use to the human race as nipples on a breast plate, or as skillfull as a cat defecating in a litter tray! God knows where I get my ideas from...
Dressage is bloody hard. Anyone who doesn't think it's a highly difficult discipline has no idea what they are talking about.
I know and think we will win this. Then you think about Swansea and Huddersfield and can’t help but think will it be one of those games? A few people on this forum coined the phrase of “haven’t won for ages? Play Watford”. But that was during the reign of the King Cobra. Now we are playing much better and look like a confident unit again thanks to Gracia. Seeing Kiko back against Everton was a big hope that our injured players are slowly coming back finally which of course brings even more positive vibes. Our home form has picked up and we’re edging clear of the others. A packed Vicarage despite what is going to be a cold affair weather wise, but hopefully the performance will warm all the people in yellow as we push WBA further to Elland Road. 3-0. Baseball. What is it? Our version of a game I played when I was younger called Rounders? On second thought... yes. Yes it is.
4 days actually. Greenwich to Dover/Calais; Calais to Abbeville; Abbeville to Beauvais; Beauvais to Paris. You sound as incredulous as the MAMILs (Middle Aged Men In Lycra) that I've ridden with that anyone could undertake such a challenge without spending a small fortune on brightly coloured clothing and blue drinks. The power of marketing. Do you want to buy my flip flops?
Controversial maybe, but RC has improved my life no end. Gaudi is one of my least favourite Arab countries.
Putting up shelves straight, assembling flat pack furniture, getting a seat on the tube. All hard, but none sports.
I have to agree to an extent. We used to organise trips for the Etape du Tour (the amateur mountain stage of the Tour de France) and one year (Gap to Alpe d'Huez) we had a lad who didn't have his own bike, had trained for 6 months on his mate's Halfords special mountain bike, borrowed one of our basic low spec road bikes for the race, borrowed mountain bike shoes and pedals. I would have thought this would be a great conversation starter, but all the other blokes ("please be careful with that, it cost over £5,000) basically looked down on him and wouldn't give him the time of day. I was so chuffed when he came home in the top third of the 8,000 taking part. The truth about (road)* cycling is that it is a good way of staying fit, and used to be, before this obsession with spending money came into it, a sociable way of spending Sunday morning. However it requires no skill or technique, just a certain dedication and determination to endure discomfort. Which is why it is good for careerist office types who would in past times have played golf (better than golf as you don't have to be any good and more crap to visibly spend your money on) *off road/ mountain biking is a different kettle of fish and is a laugh. Oh, and 3-0 Watford.
I was engrossed till the last line. What the chuff has 3-0 Watford to do with this thread? No wonder mods get so frustrated.
I hate any Porsche that is not a sports car (Cayenne, PanAmerica). "I've always wanted a Porsche but now that I can afford one I've got a family". Tough titty pal, you missed the boat, and now you have a ridiculous monstrosity. Get yourself a Galaxy and a secondhand 911 if you really must.
Dressage is hard. This morning could I find any matching socks ? An ironed shirt ? And its only Wednesday. Nightmare. Seriously it isn't a sport unless Crufts becomes a sport. It's just training animals to perform. Why the hell is it that the rider gets the medals and the credit when the horse is actually the performer ? The abnormally small midget sitting on the back has just had a free ride and takes all the glory. Just like horse racing.
That would be very quick. Any BMW. Overpriced, unreliable, s*** cars that drivers seem to think say something about their status. Got rid of mine within a month when my then employer tried to palm one off on me. Horrible cars.
Cant think of a sport I particularily dislike altough I have a seething dislike for "Keep Calm and ....." trend propogated by brainless marketing tw@ts.
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-11958903 it's not scientific and i've used this link before in a talk with meister, but it seems relevant here. i always use **** bikes and, at least in warm countries, wear my havianas and i've never found that i go any slower than my fancier friends. happily, my bike never gets nicked either and my feet remain fragrant and fresh for the benefit of my fans in japan
Back to Saturdays game, firstly I wish for 3 points, however wouldn't it be nice to be more than one goal up and not have to sit there feeling bodily parts moving every time the ball goes near our goal! Saturdays game gives us the best chance of relaxed viewing we have but we all know games aren't always straight forward ala Swansea, Palace!
Get 1-0 up and they will come out of the trenches, arms aloft. They need to win, no chance from 1-0 down, even to us now we have Gracia. However if they get 1-0 up, they will be fighting for their lives and clinging to those 3 pts like their lives depended on it. We mustn't go behind in this one.
Agreed, if they score early expect them to shut up shop like Stoke did in November. Unless we score reasonably early I can see this game being very difficult to watch.
It is true to an extent, but there is no doubt that a bike that is 5kg lighter is easier to go uphill on, and this difference gets greater the steeper and longer the climb. Imagine going up the stairs to the top floor of a towerblock and being able to dump the bag with 5 bags of sugar. On the flat, once you have established the momentum, the effort to maintain the same pace is minimal between the two.
It's crazy to think that if we didn't disgracefully throw away a combined 4 goals against the team bottom of the league at that time (Palace & Swansea) in the last 5 minutes of each game, we would be 7th. Then again, snake would probably still be our manager.
