    Do all women cool down like this on a warm day?!
    brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'runners nipple'!

    The problem with the IOM is it's f@cking motorsports mad to the detriment of all other sports over here. For example there was a cyclestadium built as a cycletrack in the 50's. Then it got converted in the 60's to be used as a stock car track (with stantions, etc so the cycletrack couldn't be used). This year the lease was up & the cyclist put in a bid for the track, offering about £500,000 in investment (they actually got the backers to put up the money as well & plans for Commonwealth & Island games), plus stating they would take innitiatives to improve the park as a whole.

    What happens? The godamn stockcars get their bid approved for another 7 years(when apparently all they were going to do was paint the stadium & resurface their bit of the track). I mean this Island produces world class track cyclists, gold medalists @ commonwealth levels, etc & yet when we put in a bid for a track of our own, it gets bloody turned down for a bunch of amatuer operators who are just out to make money. To my knowledge in the last 30+ years we have not yet produced any world champion stock car racers. It's f@cking lunacy. But then what else did we expect??? I suspect it was a case of "we don't like change" & stick with what you know!!

    Funny they can close the roads anytime there's motoracing on, but they can't do that for any cycle event!!!

    Go for a pee after applying deep-heat type liniment to your legs.

    The error kind of hits you after a mile or so..................
