Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing.

I always knew that le jeu a trieze was less popular than union but didn't know why.

Not sure I'd draw the same conclusion as you, mind!

Not the team they were for sure. France seemed there for the taking and NZ would have fully capitalised in the past but they seemed unsure of themselves. France gained confidence as a result and were deserved winners in the end.

With both teams certain to go through it was essentially a glorified friendly with no teal advantage to be gained from finishing 1st or 2nd. Not sure how important that psychological edge will prove but France have it!

Starts tonight with a cracker of an opener with hosts France taking on New Zealand. Wish I was neutral so I coud properly enjoy a game that could well prove to be a classic.


Instead of course I'll be rooting for France. I'll be delighted with a 9 - 6 game as long as les bleus win

I think I already commented in the what are you watching thread.

I found the message the film was trying to convey as confused and inconsistent. In trying to keep everyone happy, it failed miserably.

I also thought the ending very feeble, not too mention that it went on for far too long.

Not a fan to be honest and wish we'd gone for Oppenheimer instead. Hopefully will get to see that soon

Quote from: Nickslikk2112 on September 06, 2023, 04:52:39 PMSo, Olav Kooij wins again. Didn't get back home in time to watch it, could have ridden to the finish, but I wouldn't have made it back in this heat. Not enough onboard water capacity. Bit of a pathetic KoM they chose, the peloton just rode up as if it wasn't there. I tried making an effort, but what I thought was the finish was 500m to go. I blew up. Fastest Pro time today was 1'48" mine was 2'26", if only I'd paced myself better.


Got back in time to see the end of the Vuelta. Could Ganna be a future GC contender? Answer: No. He put in a good pull though today, pity G didn't have it in his legs. Stalemate for the GC riders.


You should be delighted. A retired leisure cyclist only 30 seconds behind people in peak physical condition dedicating their lives to cycling. Chapeau and kudos!

I really like Wilson but the last Porcupine Tree album left me very cold as did his solo effort before that.  Hopefully that was just a dip. 

Will try and give Rio a listen when it's released.

I hate clowns, they are rarely actually funny and once the greasepaint comes off they are miserable gits

True, car itself looks fun though
