That needs to be made into a jersey.

Pls to also make a fixiespotting one.


Testerspotting

Choose tubs; Choose a skinsuit. Choose a disc wheel; choose a dual carriageway; choose an A road; choose an HGV; choose a fucking big HGV with a trailer. Choose a fast car to slowly pass your bottle up. Choose lopro. Choose tribars. Choose an old course nobody's ridden in ages. Choose that fucking smell of embrocation that emanates from a village hall. Choose to shave. Choose an excuse. Choose a minuteman to piss all over. Choose sitting a safe distance behind the guy in front. Choose sitting on that saddle riding mind numbing spirit-crushing 25's up the A22. Choose the G25/54. Choose to have to buy a bloody book to work out what the fuck it's all about.
Choose rotting away at the end of it all cross toasting at the prize giving dinner about how you once did a short 22 up the Devil's Stair; nothing more than an embarrassment to the ( ) they spawned to replace you

I very rarely swear myself (apart from "bollocks", which is a wonderfully satisfying word), but it can be funny in its own right when it's not aimed at anyone, but is merely an expression of exasperation...my favourite of all time is Sir Richard Mottram's legendary off-air statement to Martin Sixsmith.

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever and we're all completely fucked.

I now realise where I learnt to swear - Mottram and I went to the same school, according to that Wiki link. ;)

It's 2009 IMHO a Trainspotting pastiche seems a bit "Naff", doesn't it? they did in '96.

Yep, but give it a few more years and it will be oozing retro....

But by then spoke cards and fixed wheel bikes especially will be considered very naff...

Thinking of which, we Foska do the Heinz beans and soreen shirts etc. Do you thing they'd do a Sudocrem one for audaxers?

That would be superb!

I emailed Foska a couple of years ago with this idea and didn't get a reply. I did then think of getting in touch with the manufacturers of Sudocrem but never got round to it.

I was in their shop in Westminster yesterday and got them to print out this strand from the forum....

I guess they're unlikely to be ready for LEL.  Shame - it would be quite fitting to ride into Dalkeith wearing it!
