And every one else who has a daft sense of humour. I was going to bed and my hubbie found the story of Shane and the dialogue between him and the management team so I have posted it up under the thread This is Shane under jokes and humour. It made me laugh out loud. There are about 10 pics. Enjoy!

Ive subscribed to this.
Don't like the bare feet thing for obvious reasons but it does seem like the next step for me.

I really enjoy his site - well written articles and the man is just so sensible and rational, much more so than many other authors in the health/wellness arena.

I love reading stories like this. It spurs me on. Especially as I have maintained this week (Mother Nature! So lucky am not heavier ). When we started, we thought we'd send the kids to school with a normal pack up but our youngest started getting diarrhoea and I had a light bulb moment and cut the bread. I also stopped cooking pasta too. Loose tummy all cleared up. I am really not convinced that bread, rice and pasta are good for you. We went go the docs to ask but she would need to eat those things again so that they could test for gluten intolerance. When I think of how upset she gets I can't bear to put her through it.

I don't mind you using my thread Scandi - anytime that's fine. But please if you could just refrain from saying the word 'spurs'..........

Yes it definitely does mean that! My son and friend made up a new chant at the end of season 2012-13, whilst they were staying in Newcastle for the match next day.
'To dare is to do, to dare is to dooooo
13 league titles
You've only won 2'

We heard it on TV at White Hart Lane this season and we weren't even there to start it off!

I do like football but don't support a team.
Hubbies more Tour de France and I find that quite boring

Tour de France boring ??
We get cyclists round the country roads here - I'm tempted to hide behind a dry stone wall armed with a net !

My husband has booked 7th July off work so he can cycle our local Tour de France route with his cycle group chummies. At least I'm not forced to watch. All schools round here will be closed. Roads closed ALL DAY!!!

sanguine · Jun 28, 2014

Actually I got quite into the TdF last year. We were in France anyway and had driven up one of their climbs in the Languedoc - bl00dy hell even the car found it hard. It may seem like just a procession for much of the time but I started to understand the tactics and it got much more interesting. Like any sport really. And the scenery is good to watch.

Friend of mine is going to see the start stages in Yorkshire next week.

Scandichic · Jun 28, 2014

It's not that I dislike watching the highlights. It's the hours of watching people cycle on TV. I could go and watch if they were cycling through somewhere and I like the starts and finishes but hubbie will have it on for 2-3 hours before anything happens. Am more of a Winter Olympics fan.

cold ethyl · Jun 28, 2014

I hate sport fullstop and avoid watching it at all costs, apart from a brief post-natal flirtation with football which may have been more down to Klinsmann's legs in those small white shorts than the hormones.
