The long desolate road was dreary and dull.
And desolate.
Let's not forget the dreariness and dullness
And the macchia. My god, the macchia!
Let's hope for some happy, fun guys in the break and a cracking, crash-free, sprint.

Evening, party people!
Woohoo! I had a good day today :-). Such a good day, I’m actually a little worried about what will happen when the gods realise their mistake…
well that was predictable ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
say why..
You understand rbjhan had a shocker?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Not Depeche Mode
No, we want a good news story!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I said 'happy', ja? = NOT Depeche Mode!
You want a good news story? OK… but it doesn’t sound so wonderful now that I articulate it, LOL…
Woke up in horrible pain. The sort that usually rolls on for days. Took an interesting combo of analgesics and NSAIDS – and within an hour I was FINE, much to my surprise. Then a workmate turned up with a present for me :-) (a bottle of Buderim ginger beer syrup, yum!)… and then the same guy rescued me with a shift swap (meaning that the next 6 weeks will not be a living hell for me now). And then I got paid for the handbag repair job – and went to the bottle-o after work and spent it on Chimay and Leffe to drink during Worlds :-).
All up, a collection of good things happened, and none that were really ‘bad’ as such. The best bit being that I was not in pain for very long, when I was steeling myself to cope with several days of it :-)
Depeche Mode means happiness

i love the days that take you by surprise!
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Perhaps the two are related.
There might only be so much good-day karma to go around—Lou couldn’t have such a great day unless rbjhan had a bad one.

Weylandt out.
Broke a bone in his hand in yesterday’s crash, according to Sporza.

VDS glooooooom. More of it.

If you need something to cheer you up during this dull stage
Then try to read Chris Anker Sørensens newest blog entry at http://blog.tv2.dk/chris.anker.ol/entry335317.html
I know it is in danish and don’t know if google will translate it well, but he writes rather good stories about his life on and off the bike, and about having Jens! in the car during the ITT in Missouri.
Thanks! Sounds like a good idea.

Plus, he teaches us how to say "I am bored" in Flemish.
Ik verveel me. Could be the phrase of the day.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
He said Flemish--I was quoting.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Thing is
CAS himself was quoting a Belgian soigneur, and you probably wouldn’t say a Belgian was speaking Dutch, even if Flemish is essentially a dialect of it and the words are the same in both. So in context, I think Flemish is correct. Without the context, you have every right to be disappointed.
I wouldn’t be putting so much time into thinking about this, but you know, ik verveel me.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Most sensible Flemings
do say they talk Nederlands. What, you didn’t hear what I said next because the title of my post had you in stitches?
Not sure what you think I'm laughing at, but I'm learning something here.
So only Flemings without sense and foreigners like CAS would refer to what they speak in Flanders as Flemish? That’s interesting, and something I didn’t know.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Yeah well, sorta.
Most Flemings, like all Europeans, are jingoistic bastards and very proud to proclaim that their language is Flemish. The official languages of Belgium are called Dutch, French & German. In any sort of formal setting, Flemings will say their language is Dutch. People you meet in the corner café, people on TV entertainment shows, Internet Forum People; informal.
anyone else been getting 504 Service Unavailable messages this am for the pdc?

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
that's not the point. the screen shouldn't appear unless there's a prob with the site, and then the webmaster/whomever should be notified
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Slightly backwards I think
The screen appears BECAUSE there is a problem with the site. “Service unavailable” means the web server is not coping one way or another or it is not running (might be in the process of being restarted after some config changes).
i velieve that's what i said

Ted! Naughty!
OMG, I know that song word-for-word.
My mother claims that the song is actaully about her, not Sophia Loren.
But… how is it relevant here?
Oh wow, really?
I thought the song was about Nina van Pallandt but Wikipedia says: a girl he met in Vienna and who died in a hotel fire. Anyway, relevant because he sings about Balmain.
Oh, got it now.
Ummm, Ted… that was a hell of an obscure connection…
All right, how's about

I'm thinking that that would be a 'no'
Albertina and Helsy must be feeling faint at the thought ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Helsy's in Stoke.
Besides, what is English English, anyway? I’ve never met either of them, but I have a funny feeling they probably speak it pretty differently… ;-)
Helsy promised me to sing Delilah in Stoke
I hope she remember.

It's called 'polishing'
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
More polished..'stuck up'?
Lou will polish my answer
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm taking that as agreement ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Did you try 'posh'?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It's colloquial
but that’s the basic word.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
And 'posher'
is still not acceptable, colloquial or not…
And we don't do that either ;0
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

me blowing a raspberry at you, ’cause buggered if I can think of how to represent it in text…
Not necessarily
yesterday was pretty bad, although today’s not perfect either…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
also, has anyone else noticed that when you click on the black borders to the left or the right, a new tab/window opens for a site called "infobreak"?
very annoying. makes it difficult to get out of “post” mode to use the hot keys

No bizzaro.
Van Rooij is the one who manage the contracts from Gesink. Now van Rooij is the DS of Astana it is 1+1
He has but the chance that he goes to Astana is like 0.0001%
Rabo is building their team for the next couple of years arround Gesink I don’t think he feels the urge to move. Especially to Astan with the present of Contador
Imagine if Contador stays, theyll have a ridiculous tour team
Conta, Bobo, Vino, Kash, Navarro, Fofonov, Dyachenko, Jesus, Muravyev
A team to stomp all over Lance…so exciting to think about
HOLLAANDIAAAA
Puede ser la escapada del día IRIZAR ARANBURU Markel (005), MARTINEZ PEREZ Francisco Jose (024), ROUX Anthony (098), MAASKANT Martijn (115) y WESTRA Lieuwe (209) aumentan la diferencia con el pelotón a 2:45. Los coches de equipo pasan para poder asistir a los escapados. El pelotón rueda tranquilo, dejando hacer a los de delante

I watched that bubblegum and said nice things until Depeche Mode
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I would just like to point out, again,
… that Depeche Mode was actually all Frinkster’s fault. He started it! He said "Enjoy the silence’!
The worst thing is he's denying all culpability...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That the song was blah? That's all
But yes, she is very pretty
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

There’s nothing wrong with Depeche Mode, the best thing that Basildon has produced.

Not one of them is named Hrafn, I’m disappointed. But the guy who won both the RR and the TT is named Hafstein Ægir Geirsson, that’s cool.

Not really.
I think I’ll wander off and work on Barbie Barbie for a while. But since we’re already closing in on 300 comments and haven’t heard from Jens lately, I’ll set up the second thread before I go.

classics guys in a break can be hard to pull back at times?
