Flying Scotsman - the movie!

I wonder if it'll get a release here? Given the success that
overcoming (blergh) had, and Hollentour (ace!), maybe Nova will show
it?

I hope it doesn't get a proper release here so it goes straight to DVD
for me to watch :)

NZ was one of the first places to show it... so I would expect it to
hit our shores this year sometime ( June or July I suspect?????)

Did a bit of asking around - should be released via Rialto Films
possibly around July 5th, not too sure about cinema release
distribution.

meantime, there is the studio promo like the one on cycling.tv and
before every telecast or channel change ( if you can cope with
cannondale ads with it)...

Don't suppose anyone wants to upload this somewhere..? :)
Where to find all those classic cycling flicks? e.g. A Sunday in Hell?

I can do better than that ... what's your snail address? Blank DVDs
are cheap ...

Typical Scotsman.... to cheap to buy a bike, instead makes one out of
old washing machine bits. Which part of the washing machine did he use
for the seat ??? Or do we have to watch to find out ?

Oi! Careful who you're calling tight pal! I'm sure there was nothing
cheap about his washing machine parts. The donor machine probably
still had years of service left in it. Clearly the saddle was stuffed
with whatever expensive designer clothes were in the washing machine
at the time he dismantled it. Mind you, he's not welcome in that
laundrette ever again :-)

A Scottish family friend of ours fell off his roof yesterday. Parents
were telling him the night before not to be stupid and install the
flue himself -- pay someone to do it properly. When he insisted, they
asked whether he'd be wearing a harness. Na, can't be bothered.

Oh well, health costs and 3 weeks off work are probably cheaper than
the $500 for a roofing professional to come... (on their bike... on
topic, heh. Ah buggrit).

ditto (about the healing). My mother fell off the roof of her house a
few years back (ie she was in her mid-50s). Spent a few days in
hospital, took quite a few weeks to recover. Falling from heights is
never good.

Falling from anything is generally not good. I like to avoid doing it.

See this? http://www.abc.net.au/sydney/stories/s1849943.htm
