I remember my O levels because at that party I misplaced something I'd been really keen to misplace in the back seat of a Ford Fiesta. All said, given the region, I think that has me down as a slow starter.

Why were you keen on misplacing your something in the back seat of a Ford Fiesta?

Great band. Saw them supporting Hawkwind in 1984.

Paul Hollywood paid the equivalent of $350 for a strawberry in Japan. And ate it. And really enjoyed it.

That is a stupid design.

If they'd put the tennis court up top people would have been saying "but what about the wind?" Cyclists? Pfft.

Pune is in some ways India's Silicon Valley. Things might get built because they can and as here designed because the designers have ideas to help clients impress people.

Um, How do they get onto the track? I can't see any obvious entry way or staging area... Seems... pointless...

It's a new map of Hell, where dopers* are condemned to ride forever in figure 8s come sun, wind, hail, US Postal and WADA.

Vague recollection of a figure-8 velodrome built by those wacky Canadians in the 1990s, but I think they kept it indoors to stop BEARs from disrupting the racing.
