I did but anyway that's not relevant to the omnium. Choice for that, like all other events, would have been decided by the data, like it always is. Decision isn't made on sentiment. I'm sure you're correct but to a layman such as myself, it appeared obvious from both the team pursuit and the madison that it was Archibald who did most of the heavy lifting, therefore I would have assumed an individual endurance event spread over 4 races in 3 hours would be perfect for someone of KA's abilities.

You obviously didn't watch the Madison.

He's had a 'C*nt's Railcard' for decades.

Would have liked to have seen Katie Archibald in the women's omnium, she's a much stronger rider than Albi's mum.

Bob Malcolm? Christ, I thought he went to the glue factory ages ago...............

I take it the £22 is for one hour's hire of a windsurfer and the £18.70 gets you a weeks swimming pass at the Commy Pool ?

I'm wondering if SpiffSpaff and Rees-Mogg are in some sort of weird procreation competition.

Absolutely this. They've got so little live action to show, so we have to thole a neverending stream of dull as f*ck talking heads. Really enjoyed triathlon relay though.......

Modern reinterpretation of the Swilken Burn & Barry Burn........get with the programme man !!........

That’s a trick that never seems to fail.” Welcome to Tokyo 2020, where just being Russian is a kick right now.

Buy her a compost bin for her birthday.

BBC were showing Djokovic v Zverev, 1 set all, Zverev with a break in 3rd set......."Unfortunately we're going to leave the tennis to take you to the Olympic stadium where Australia are taking on Fiji in the womens sevens......"

Was discussing this prancing horse guff with Mrs. FP last night after hearing Claire Balding and the annoying Lahndahn presenter going full orgasmotron over the taekwondo and swimming and gymnastic performances by Team GB. "This will inspire thousands of youngsters up and down the land to get into the gym/onto the mat/into the pool...... just amazing..." However, there is no chat about "da yoot" beating a path to the local paddock to get involved in horse dancing. I wonder why this could be?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/28/revealed-queen-vetted-67-laws-before-scottish-parliament-pass-them "The Queen’s consent procedure, which critics have called anti-democratic, has been used repeatedly by the monarch in recent decades to secretly lobby for changes to proposed UK legislation before it is passed by parliament. The extent of the practice in Scotland, where it is known as crown consent, has until now been unknown to the public."

Was that 'designed' with input from Carrie Symonds-Bojo ?

F*ck crows.........

So, just by coming onto this thread for 5 mins., I've learned what a 'groyper' is and also what a 'stan' is. Every day is a skool day on Pn'B, especially for us Generation Joneses. "Groypers are extremely conservative and critical of more mainstream conservative organizations, which they believe to be insufficiently nationalist and pro-white. Groypers and their leaders have tried to position the group's ideology as being based around "Christian conservatism", "traditional values", and "American nationalism". Some Groypers downplay the extremism of their positions, and instruct others on how to engage in entryism and radicalization tactics such as slowly introducing their targets to increasingly extreme ideas.[13] Despite attempts to brand themselves more moderately, the group is widely recognized as white nationalist, antisemitic, and homophobic."

Correct. C*nts that buy Ferraris and Porsches should be executed.
