Confused by weird Danish surnames though, as the TdF's webby SCIENCE refers to the rider who pwned the first climb of the day as “J Wilsly” while French TV had him as “J Gregaard”.  When he's actually J Gregaard Wilsly in the same way that last year’s Super-Dane is M Cort Nielsen.

I find/found it easier to read in globs of maybe 3days at once. This is of no use if you want to follow actual race progress, but there's another thread for that. (I'm only really her for the vautours, and the CBoardmen 😉)
and cos Bethany [13] might beat me up

Much like Feersum Injun and also many Irving Welsh novels, I find a need to embed my brane into the linguistics, so it's not conducive to dipping in.

And sadly we are lacking in both vautours and Boardmen thus far.  C Evans has left after today’s stage, but probably not because of Eleanor of Aquitaine or Bethany’s Mum.  Dunno whether they've got a willing replacement lined up, or kidnapped Dan Martin's children again.

At least one kudo to TV's M Rendell, who has called the current occupant of the spottyjumper “Neilson”, “Neil” and “Nils” in a single sentence.  Clearly going after P Liggett's record with Andreas Klöden.

The words from the last line of the Top Cat song.

Edit: given that the programme was, according to Wikinaccurate, first broadcast in the UK in May 1962, that would make it more than 60 years.

Objection yeronna, that's the first verse, the last one is:

Yes, he's the chief, he's a king,
But above everything,
He's the most tip top,
Top Cat!
