Ouch indeed! Is that real or posed? That is one of the funniest things
I have ever seen..

Regards,
Richard.

I reckon it could be posed. I think the backpack (or at least it's
contents) should rise higher up his back with the forward momentum.

For DRS:
The truth is, we top-posters (which is an anagram of "we actually rule
the world") are united in a secret Illuminatii Black-Helicopters
Queen-Elizardbeast Merovingian Roswell-cover-up Saudi Rosicrucian
Electronic-Voice-Phenomena conspiracy to annoy you.
Sorry, now that I've told you, I have to kill you.
Umm, oops - don't have a clue who you are.
D'oh!
Unfortunately, since I've let our the secret of the top-posters cabal, I
am not long for this lif... sorry, someones knocking at the door.
It's been nice posti... dies horrible death

See below. Controversy Rages, The Jury is Still Out, and I'm emailing
the guy to settle this.

Especially with that pretentious car ad. I'm wondering whether the wide
angle of the shot was to fit that in.

Jeff

I'm guessing that pretentious car ads in .au, .nl, or wherever they are
would be so pretentious as to stay in the language they were in, that is
the country the car was from. Especially in Holland, where folks would
get most of the gist of "copy" in German.

The umlaut on the A in the car ad and the nl suffix on the web address
suggests the Netherlands (a.k.a. Holland) to me.
I agree. But, Dutch, Holland, Netherlands, Nederland... so many names
for such a li'l country...

German bike paths are also usually a different colored concrete as well.

Didn't know that - thx. Kind of like the Bus (aka defacto Bike ,but
also Lanes of Death) Lanes in metro Sydney

Oh, the humanity. etc...

It's definitely Germany. The umlaut on the A in the car ad proves that. Also
the "Der [Neue] Lexus" below it. The Dutch use either "De" or "Het".

Jeff

As I blunt-crayoned in clumsy block-capitals before, it might be that
the ad in German is what they put up in .nl ...

xxx to y'all

ps: some feedback/flame-age/etc about the Richard Wagner/Opera comments
would be nice, ngroup..

If he did have a bar extension, that was the last one! ;-)

ps: "Aah, aah, we fade to grey; and I ran, I ran so far away; I'm lost
and I'm found, and I'm hungry like the wolf; heaven, must be there;
city on a rainy day down by the harbour, this is not the way that I
remember it here..." Ten points for the name of the song, ten points
for the name of the group, fifteen points if you can name the album
the song was from, and twenty-five bonus points if you can remember
seeing them on "Countdown"...

Hey ho lets go....

1. Visage, Fade to Gray (1981)
2. I Ran, Flock of Seagulls (1982)
3. Hungry Like The Wolf, Duran Duran (1982)
4. Heaven, Eurogliders (1982-3?)
5. Great Southern Land, Icehouse (1982)

6. Vid Clip on Countdown, much posing from Steve Strange & Co, plus a
shop dummy wearing much makeup,
7. Vid Clip on Countdown, young tryhard English boys & girls running
around in big baggy slacks, birdsnest hairdo's, remember much orange
and sheets of plastic in the background for some reason. A wind
machine was in there too.
8. Too many to mention, poncy English New Romantics (or alternatively
read "Lombards") make classy "we're on holiday" video clips in Sri
Lanka with hot looking chicks, DD made many personal appearances on
Countdown when in the country,
9. Vid Clip on Countdown, cinematic big budget affair shot in either a
big studio or on a farm, Grace Knight singing her little heart out.
Appeared live on the show too.
10. Vid Clip on Countdown, Iva looking all surly and wearing big
pants, trying not to stumble off a quarry cliff somewhere in
Kur-ing-gai Chase.

Ok, there were no sightings of bikes in any of these videos, but do I
win a slab of Mountain Goat ? cheers

PS, this is all from memory and I didn't use Google once, I'm just
reallyreally old)

Albums,
1. Visage, 2. Flock of Seagulls, 3. Rio, 4. Possibly self titled, 5.
Primitive Man.

Reckon that poor cyclists must have recovered by now, and you thought
watching Lance almost losing his remaining knacker in the TdF made you
winch. I'm 50/50 on whether the photo was real or staged.

Is that "Aaah, Vienna" as in "it means nothing to me"?

That's where the gondolas hang out, isn't it?


No, don't be stupid, that's Florence!
