    Mrs Poz saw the news last night and reminded me that the bloke who just won the lottery fitted a new bathroom at our old house in Houston years ago. Did a good job too. He was a nice bloke and took pride in doing a good job. Maybe the guy would genuinely miss the routine, the feeling of self-worth in doing a good job. Who knows? Maybe he would be happier doing his trade rather than suddenly sitting down and wondering if Jeremy Kyle or Homes Under the Hammer was on the telly.

    Mrs Poz was in the fire service and many colleagues retired at fifty with cracking pensions. The amount of them who almost immediately went into consulting work or getting into another job was very high. Getting out the golf clubs / pipe and slippers certainly isn't for everyone. Either that, or their missus' told them to get out from under her feet before she murdered them.

     

    I cannot understand this mentality, and it strikes me as not being very bright,

    Why would you work if you do not have to?

     

    I would also take the no publicity option, he's going to get all of the 

    local scumbag neds begging at his door.

    The gentleman is going to his work, and has bought his son a new Ford Fiesta.

     

    Whit chance £1,000,000 for the Saints?

     

     

     

     

    If you win 14 million and you go back to work, should this not preclude you from getting the money due to 

    being too stupid?

     

    I always remember a lavvy attendant from Bognor winning a couple of million in the mid 90's, she was back

    at work on the monday morning, I remember thinking if she preferred scrubbing skid marks from toilet

    pans then I would take the money as she was obviously too stupid to realize what she had.

    Todays Route

     

    All of the GC riders (Including Clean Rider Adam Yates) will just mark each other and

    ride tempo mostly, two short steep climbs at the end but no one able to threaten Chris Froome

    so another defensive stage for the yellow jersey and his excellent team.

    Some people just open their mouths and let their bellys rumble!

    To compare Adam Yates to Jan Ullrich is crass stupidity, and assumes that no else has knowledge of the Tour De France, unbelievable arrogance.

    Jan Ullrich was a doper, you've made a balloon of yourself again saintnextlifetime <_<  Adam Yates is a clean rider and should NOT be mentioned in the same breath as Ullrich,

    you must get out of this arrogant habit of thinking that no one else knows about the tour de france but you.  See you in 2017 when I will challenge you again during the tour de france, so carry on sneering and looking down your nose bikey wankbag. 

    From Ullrichs Wikipedia Entry

    Doping[edit]

    During the 2006 Giro d'Italia, Ullrich was mentioned in a doping scandal, Operación Puerto.[20] Ullrich denied the rumors. However, on 30 June 2006, one day before the Tour, he was suspended from participating.[21] Ivan Basso and other riders were also excluded. On 20 July 2006, Ullrich was fired from T-Mobile. General manager Olaf Ludwig announced the news during the 18th stage of the Tour between Morzine and Macon. Ullrich said his dismissal was 'unacceptable.'

    I am very disappointed that this decision was not communicated to me personally but that it was faxed to my lawyers. I find it shameful that, after so many years of good cooperation and after all I have done for the team, I am being treated as a fax number.[22]

    On 3 August 2006, doping expert Werner Franke claimed Ullrich purchased about €35,000 worth of doping products a year based on documents uncovered in the Operación Puerto doping case.[23] A German court imposed a gag order on Franke after it found there was not enough evidence to link Ullrich to doping.[24] On 14 September 2006, officials raided Ullrich's house and collected DNA material while Ullrich was honeymooning with his new wife Sara. On 4 April 2007, Ullrich's DNA sample, had "without a doubt" matched nine bags of blood taken from Eufemiano Fuentes' office.[25]

    On 18 October 2006, Ullrich laid off his personal physiotherapist Birgit Krohme. Speculation rose that this was a sign that Ullrich had given up hope of returning to racing. Ullrich denied these rumors. One day later, Ullrich canceled his licence of the Swiss Cycling Federation, and was looking for a different federation for a licence of 2007.[26] Ullrich claimed that the Swiss Cycling Federation had to stop their doping investigation, but the Swiss federation continued the investigation.[27] On 25 October 2006, a document from the Spanish court on Ullrich's website stated that no charges would be filed.

    On Monday, 26 February 2007, Ullrich retired. At the press conference in Hamburg he said, "Today, I'm ending my career as a professional cyclist. I never once cheated as a cyclist." He said he would be an advisor to Team Volksbank.[28]

    The IOC has investigated if Ullrich should be stripped from his golden medal won at the 2000 Olympic Games, which was possible because there was an eight-year deadline for investigations, and the investigation started after seven years.[29] It was decided that there was no solid evidence against Ullrich, and that Ullrich could keep his medal.[30]

    In 2008, the German investigation was closed after a settlement, which in German law means Ullrich was found not guilty. The Swiss investigation was still ongoing at that time,[31] but they closed the case in February 2010, because Ullrich was no longer member of the Swiss Cycling Federation, and so they had no jurisdiction after he retired.[32] The UCI appealed that decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[33]

    In 2010, with the doping allegations still ongoing, Ullrich was diagnosed with burn-out, and avoided public appearances for a few months.[34] When Lance Armstrong announced his comeback as a professional cyclist, Ullrich made clear that he was not going to do the same.[35]

    In February 2012, Ullrich was found guilty of a doping offence by the CAS. He was retroactively banned from 22 August 2011, and all results gained since May 2005 were removed from his Palmares.[2][3] Ullrich published a statement on his website, that said he would not appeal the decision. He admitted that he had had contact with Fuentes, which he considered a mistake that he now regrets.[36]

    In June 2013, Ulrich went on record stating that he'd "always said that Lance wouldn’t get out of it. He made too many enemies." Later that month, he admitted that he doped with the help of Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.[37] His name was on the list of doping tests published by the French Senate on 24 July 2013 that were collected during the 1998 Tour de France and found positive for EPO when retested in 2004.[38]

    Any penalty that is half the height of goals is an easy save to make. Good penalty saves are few and far between.

     

    Edited your last post pretty quickly about match has went to penalties well done on your quick editing.

    cheers Ronnie, take yesterday off for that.

     

    In my opinion it was an excellent save by the keeper, in your opinion it wasn't, thats life.:)

    alex rae says he gave the team a rollocking at half time, we then came out and dominated second half.

     

    Conditions were stifling, rae says he will push players to the hilt and if they don't put in the effort

    he will dig out individual players, he wants determination and never say die attitude, 

     

     

    I love what I am hearing from our manager, go on alex. :)
