There's some more tough stages coming too. I love how they made Stage 20 a hellish double climb up the same mount

Incidentally, on the way there, at one of the big roundabouts near here there were some crusty protesters with "less solar more real farms" placards. I didn't realise anti-solar was a subset of environmental issues ? Anyway, I considered shouting "GET A FCUKING HAIRCUT, HIPPY" b...

That's numberwang

Steve is referencing the almost immediate onslaught of lowballers.

Maybe it was a film recommendation?

The footage they were showing of the recovery effort demonstrates that the weather and visibility was absolutely atrocious, which also point towards a genuine accident.

Anyone else watching the Giro? Pogacar :lol: is like watching an adult race against teenagers. WTF. I'm curious how it'll play out at the Tour with Vingegaard recovering from injury and Pogacar's early seasons races, as well as the Giro, show he's on stellar form. Could easily be Pog's year for the ...

Smart has been washed and advertised on eBay so that I can replace it with @Sundayjumper's Smart.

I didn’t get that memo I’ll have to google it

I respect Fury for how open he is about his mental health. For someone from his traveller background to open up about suicide, anxiety, OCD, bipolar etc and talk about them freely and in depth is a massive thing and has probably helped a helluva lot of people. It’s a great message when one of the ha...

I watched that yesterday! Firstly it’s an amazing run to casually do sub-3 hour for a laugh. Secondly he is utterly mental for not having trained further than 10miles in the Crocs

It feels like a few years since gin was supposed to be replaced by rum as the new spirit of choice but nobody seems to have told the supermarkets; it’s still easy to get a wide selection of gins and harder to find a good choice of rums. It has been happening slowly, Gordon's sales by volume in the ...

Very impressive from Usyk. He's a proper boxer. I don't know much about boxing, however that sounds spot on. Fury looks like a person who was born with a freakishly exceptional talent for dodging punches and hitting people, almost like he has a sixth sense. On the other hand, Usyk looked like someo...

Only Jaguarrrrrrrrrrrrr owners allowed

I agree about the hangover with rum. I don’t drink much these days and feel quite sensitive to what gives me a banging head. A half decent rum leaves me feeling surprisingly headache-free the following day. For example I smashed a bottle of red leg with a friend then went to the pub for a beer and f...

I was expecting those to be outside of my tax bracket however appear not to be and readily available too, will try them!

While we’re ticking off different alcoholic drinks and given that rum has officially replaced gin as the spirit of the moment, here’s my recommendations - all based around golden or spiced rums. Havana Club especial was my go-to golden rum for several years. Smooth, warm and easy to drink with a cub...

Yup Usyk got it, definitely the right decision. How Fury stayed upright in round 9 after that left hook is a miracle.

That’s got to go to Usyk, surely?

I’m sure it’ll be available somewhere slightly dodgy online. There’s usually a bunch of feeds incoming around on Twitch, Instagram or TikTok live

Anyone else watching it tonight?
