Boy Ed,

You sure seem to have it in for the French. I don't think most Americans
hated them so much when they helped you win your war of indepenence from
Britain. But that was some time ago now wasn't it. We (in Canada) have our
own issues with the French. It's called French-Canadians. Even the French
don't like them. It's the main reason we want to decriminalize marijuana.


X, don't get me going on the French. My doctor has told me that I cannot
afford to get upset because of my high blood pressure. I am taking lots of
medication to keep it down, but every time I think of the French I can feel
it going up. I will blow a gasket if I am not careful.

The French only pretend to be civilized. They actually are not civilized at
all. No, I leave the g.d. French to the g.d. French. Let them sort
themselves out. I am done with them.

He recalled his times as a mechanic on the Tour
de France when he accompanied some of the earliest British riders to
compete. Later he was a great supporter of road-records with his
trade-mark white frames with black decals. I think E2E'er Woodburn
rode one of his tandems with Patson in many record attempts.

When I was a kid in Kirkcudbright the bike shop was kept by a man called
Wullie Law. He was patient and informative and taught me a great deal
of what I know about fixing bikes. The shop is still there, now run by
his grand-daughter, and still sells a few bikes. It wasn't until long
after the old man was dead that I was told that he'd ridden the Tour. I
still don't know how to verify whether this is true. But if it is I'm
even more astounded by how modest a man he was.


So he rode the Tour. So what. If he was modest about it he had it right.
It is something to be modest about. All this hoopla about the Tour is
total insanity. It is disgusting the way some cyclists carry on about the
g.d. Tour. After all, it is a French thing and we all know what the
French are worth -traitors to Western Civilization.

What the French do best is stab others in the back. Any praise for the
Tour sickens me as does any reflection on the nation of France. They are
a nation of whores and were in bed with Sadaam Hussein. Please, spare me
any crapolla about the ****ing Tour.

Well you better be careful then. It would be such a shame if you die and
took your ojectionable views with you.

The French only pretend to be civilized. They actually are not civilized

at

This is rich coming from and American. By most measures I am sure the
French are more civilised and cutured than Americans. They even have a
democratic electoralsystem and a love of liberty -- neither strong in the
good old USA.

No, I leave the g.d. French to the g.d. French. Let them sort
themselves out. I am done with them.


I am sure they will be delighted to hear it. Can you be done with this NG
as well now.

Can we please eliminate the one of the remaining travesties the French
have imposed on the world - the French tire sizing system?

It is not that difficult to say ISO 622-mm and ISO 571-mm instead of
700C and 650C.

Strike a blow for logical consistency!

Ah, the French. Very cultured.... now, if they could only learn to defend
themselves and not collaborate with the enemy....

Well, the French were right about the weapons of mass destruction,
weren't they? And they were right about Vietnam, too, come to think of
it... Yes, great people, the French. A real understanding of diplomacy
and realpolitik. Also intelligent, thoughtful, cultured, artistic and
creative. They also know quite a bit about cycling. In summary, about
as different from Minnesotans as it is possible to get.

I am
taking lots of medication to keep it down, but every time I think of

Oh, how dreadful for you.

Have I told you how much I admire and respect the French?

Realpolitik is perfectly acceptable. All nations do it. But it should never
be done at the expense of core values - and the French are always doing
precisely that. Sometimes the French are not much better than the Nazis.
What was Napoleon if not another Hitler. The French would liked to have done
what Hitler did (conquer Europe), but they were too feckless and screwed up
to manage it.

Did you not read my post where I said the French only pretend to be
civilized. They aren't of course. They have always been pigs and about on
the level of Nazi Germany. May the Devil take them!

By the way, did you not know that Minnesota is part of the Heartland of
America?

Simon sounds like a French name to me, so that would explain your lack of
discrimination. You ought to emigrate to that pig sty known as France. I am
sure the English would be glad to get rid of you. An Englishman who admires
and respects the French is a contradiction in terms. It is what is known as
an oxymoron.

snip


Just to remind everyone, the French have never been right about anything -
ever! Even the French Revolution was all screwed up. The English managed to
reform their monarchy much better. The French are nothing but eternal ****
ups.

What year did DIEN BIEN PHU (sp?) become part of the French vocabulary?
It should be a reminder of getting their asses kicked out of Vietnam by
the North Vietnamese.


Anyone can look up the correct spelling of a place name if they so choose.
It is enough to spell English place names correctly. I am not ever going to
bother much with Asian languages, especially not for the kind of numskulls
that populate newsgroups.

The French deserved to get their asses kicked out of Vietnam, but South
Vietnam did not deserve to come under the Communist yoke. If the US had
showed a bit more staying power it would never have happened. Those who
think it was OK for North Vietnam to prevail have blood on their hands and
are despicable beyond measure.

Recumbent Racer Glen Drury sets course record
That is quite an impressive accomplishment. Who is the rider and what bike did he ride? Was he in a F-40?

Stan Vinson
P38


.................................................. .................... .................................................. .......
Recumbent cycles entered the 400km cycle for the first time (as a separate category), with Glen Druryclocking the impressive time of 11:57:37. With the popularity of the recumbents, the race is likely to be open next year to other specialist cyclists (all scored in different categories). Of the regular cyclists, the best time was from David Simpfendorfer of the Filthy Armadillo team, with 13:46:17.

Hayes El Camino Disc Brakes Fastest disc brakes in the Universe

The El Camino features Power Adjust Dial, which modulates braking power by +/-10%. The Mono-Block caliper is forged using 6061-T6 aluminum while the open back design allows improved airflow across the pads. If you are a fat old ignorant white man from Minn do not buy these brakes. Nothing will stop your sorry ass when you need to stop.

The rotating banjo hose attachment offers optimal hose placement. Perfect for all the hose heads on A.R.B.R.

****ing Ed Gin! Why don't you get a life you miserable Mongoloid *******.


You are a self-centered, self-serving, self-indulgent egomaniac ... a
disingenuous, nefarious, cretinous scumbag ... an amoral, vile, vulgar
deviate, a contemptible, seething, puerile twerp ... a moronic,
infantile, foolish twit ... a worthless, obnoxious, parasitic
pantywaist ... an incoherent, babbling, imbecilic half-wit ... a gray,
insignificant, low-life dolt ... a tiresome, brain-dead, boring dullard
... a pathetic, pitiful, pretentious pansy ... a slimy, gutless, feeble
coward. Cloaked in a cyber-space pseudonym, you are an opportunistic,
infectious, bottom feeding troll ... an oozing festering, canker on the
hide of Internet newsgroups. I guess that just about sums it up.
