woolybananasbrother Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 What a ridiculous story. The Mail must really be having a bad time.But then perhaps they should watch the Tour, particularly the moment, when the whole peleton stops for a leak and the cameras keep rolling.

TWINKLE Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yo woolyb!Are you referring to the thingy on the telly where you sit and watch men riding bikes and listen to other men talking about the men who are riding the bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Yo Twinkle!If memory serves me right, you already tried that bit of provocation for LAST TdF! [:)]Have you heard of Jeanie Longo? At 49, yes you read correctly, 49, she is the French women champion of all cycling feats! But that's because she is a vegan and only eats bio and drinks spring water. Super-clean existence. Probably no men either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Cannot imagine that many people would to buy a part of JL via an IPO but, who knows ? And her success may be despite her lifestyle rather than because of it.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I probably did 5-Element - I sometimes wonder why I don't just copy and paste all my old posts month after month and just be done with it[:D]About 15 years ago me and the band were part of the welcome podium for the Tour and we played at each of the etapes the evening before the cyclists arrived. One of the highlights of my musical career actually - it was great fun and we were treated like something between royalty and the Rolling Stones!Last year I met Maryline Salvetat at a live telly thingy show for the Tour, her head was spinning around quicker than the blokes there everytime the young female dancers strutted there stuff outside the dressing rooms[:D]http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryline_Salvetat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybananasbrother Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 I can imagine you doing C and W and Ronnette numbers (do you do Da Doo Ron Ron?) at some out of the way village bar as the Tour rolls by, with the natives jiving for all they are worth. There is a great female lead singer in a scene in a Clint Eastwood movie called Heartbreak Ridge, who I am convinced is your good self Twinkls.Now back to the Tour. Start of the foothills today and the important stuff really begins. Hold your breath guys and dolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that because when I saw her interviewed, I fond her a very impressive woman, she is also quite solitary and modest about her incredible achievements.By the way, it is EPO.

She was born in the Alps, and lives in a remote mountainous area there, a semi-hermit existence. A woman after my own heart.http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannie_Longo-Ciprelli Should I google IPO?
