Dont know nothing about cycling but blimey to win by that distance the boy done good.................i didnt even realise he was a London lad even better. Makes you wonder how a man built like a spider could even ride a bike let alone at that speed/distance.....some athlete fair play to him......i was always a bit disrespectful about cycling as a sport......but i guess its no different to any other endurance sport,certainly impressive to watch when you see it done well.

Thats it Jasp .....many a sunday morning stood about not really knowing what we was doing with feeler gauges i was always the one to snap the clips off the distributor cap first .....i never did understand rotor arms,top dead centre and all that carry on ! The Harrier was the " Minder Escort "....if my memory serves me correct...........or that might of been the Zakspeed one i forget now.....anyway great cars and great memories.

Personally i dont think anythings " going wrong "....sure we are going to have surprise victories and disappointing defeats and thats just the nature of sport.........but as a country of sports fans i think we just have to get it out of our cannisters that we are somehow ENTITLED to win !!....No different to the football be it World Cup or Europeans......Every other nation and competitor wants to win just as much as we do,they are all in every bit as good condition as we are and every bit as well prepared as we are...................so what makes British people think we only need turn up to wi

Yep fair do,s i cant argue about sports i dont know nothing about so im sure your right on the ones you mention.......of the big sports ( popularity worldwide )....id say we better them at Football,Cricket,Boxing,Athletics,Horse Racing,Golf ?..........Snooker and Darts if you accept them as sport.....and im sure many others i dont know enough about......I think it would be generally accepted we are a bigger sporting nation than them in terms of events......the Fa Cup or Premier League for example are known worldwide.....besides im always dubious of countries that have to invent their own sport

PlasticJock you got to remember as well that in any gym for every 1 Amir Khan or David Price theres 10 unknown good pros and solid journeymen quietly making a living off the game.....its not all about the stars i admire lads like Peter Mcdonagh down here still does a regular job type job but trains his bollocks off loses more than he wins but earns money doing something he loves and would willingly do for nothing.............theres far more solid pros earning a crust for being decent standard boxers than there is star prospects on the up......and your average manager of fighters will have far

Great days !! Had a mk 1 rs2000 and later on a mk 2 Mexico.......Fishnet headrests,revolution wheels,janspeed exhaust the lot .....oh the memories ! I had a mk 1 rs2000 avo sat in the garage for years rusting away......sold it some years ago for a grand only to see it go for 14k a year later.......its still around today its a top show car valued at 40 odd grand ..............another missed opportunity

Parks are for kids not dogs !...........Boils my blood when you see people exercising dogs in parks and on beeches where they know theres going to be kids. Glad the childs healthy and 1 piece

Absolutely right.....some nations are just far more dedicated to the cause than we are.............personally i dont think its right the way they break kids down but its not a competition of morals its a competition of sport and they do what they need to do to win who are we to say its wrong its just not how we do it..................but it dont make them cheats !
-
Not to sound like a dick.....but Born Hunter i think you have a great outlook to sport and near always find myself agreeing with your comments ...........Just out of interest have you competed yourself at anything ?......ive often found those least critical of top athletes are usually those who know what its like to compete themself.

Now you're talking . Think this was Hatchback only, a pal had a black one with a with a huge whale tail spolier on the back! I beleive this also came as standard aswel as the bonnet vents. only ever seen the 2.8 4x4's in a hatchback also but could be wrong here.... A few pictures of my old Escort RS's back late 's earley 90's... Nice pics Jasper...........im obviously a few years older than you i was an rs2000 and Mexico man myself
-
What was the rs500 ? Tickford? Yes it was Tickford tuned i always thought the " 500 " stood for 500 bhp ( it was around 543 i think ).......it was only a few years ago someone told me it was actually that there was only 500 made......something about they had to make 500 to qualify as group a race or something....... Serious piece of kit anyway......in any era !
-
If you look at people like Frank Warren,Dean Powell etc they want fighters with a career in front of them.......if a lad cant fight it dont matter how many tickets he can sell he,s not going to have a career and they wont make money off him long term.............and after all a managers entitled to make money,thats his job.
-
Nothing wrong with buying a motor from an auction.....most of the big hire mobs will put a fleet in when its coming up for its first mot.....hence 2-3 years old......but they will have serviced them more regular than average and they dont tend to skimp on anything.............if its a reps car it will normally be mostly motorway miles...... If you intend keeping it for the majority of its life and you wont be doing mental miles theres a nice few quid to be saved buying via auction.

Words marked and duly noted! http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/19056545 ....He wont come Malt.....and i dont blame him. A Northern lad at one of the biggest Northern clubs........why would he want to come down to one of the biggest London clubs..........I bet he,s hanging onto his Anfield locker door as we speak " Pleeeease....dont make me go "
-
If someone thinks your good enough mate it wont matter what age you are....................the beauty with boxing is its honest,if a manager or promoter thinks he,s going to get coin on the back of you he will offer you a pro contract.....if he dont he wont.......its a harsh game but its honest.
-
Thats probably because he seems a classy young man brought up by a father with good basic pricipals..................................................and then has to read something like that
-
If you dont feel its something you could or even need to make money from.....why not just go down your local amateur club.....plenty of mid 20,s amateurs about.....and in my opinion its a sport you cant not take seriously at any level....just enjoy it for what it is
-
Horrible little c**t !......The kid done his best and failed theres no shame in that.....the shame is ridiculing a top athlete from the safety of your front room ! Makes you wonder how they are going to police this Twitter/Facebook thing....after all said and done is what the kid said an arrestable offence......its a cuntish one yes but can you be arrested for being a c**t......sorry about the language by the way.

Name a better sporting nation of the same size ? Your post was so silly i cant even be bothered to debate it...................and i love sport ! I would think the Aussies would be considered a better all round sporting nation than us, and they have less than half our population jmo Fair comment but i dont agree........ What sports do they lead the world at ?......Do they host as many big international sporting events as us ?......Is sport run as well there as it is here ? Im sure theres many countries who run or take part in certain specific sporting events better than

Too late ..............Cracks me up how some folk get all psycological about a basic " natter on tinternet " Its like going in a pub having a beer and talking bollocks with everyone........ then saying " YOUR ALL DRUNKEN c**ts "

Cor blimey whats a matter treacle you feeling all victimised !!.......Stone me i cant believe how some folk remember eveything someone says on here and build up an image in their head of someone they dont have a clue about ...........I dont know who says what from 1 day to the next i just reply if im interested and dont if im not........." make people look silly to make yourself look more intelligent "......are you sure !!....Im thick as arseholes mate ive never claimed any different.......i have a natter about subjects of interest with names on an internet screen thats all.....i dont make pe

Personally i cant stand the unlicensed scene it was ok back in the Mclean/Shaw era but it gained a " gangster type " image and has never really lost that image........a bunch of nasty loudmouthed women screaming their heads off and pissed up blokes acting tough while cheering their mates on.....thats not my idea of fun but each to their own. If theres a chance you could turn pro then why would anyone even contemplate fighting unlicensed !....Unlicensed is normally for people who cant get a pro licence be it for talent,criminal or medical reasons..............after all said and done if a mans

Absolutely ............i think some people seem to forget sometimes that the rest of the world also want to win at sport !

From my experience these " personal character assasinations " are what people resort to when they dont know what to say next .............but hey
