The memory came faint and cold of the story I might have told, a story in the likeness of my life, I mean without the courage to end or the strength to go on. Free counters!

BFI: This week our Hitchcock restoration team compared four nitrate prints of The Pleasure Garden. Here they are on the synchroniser, ready to be examined (via Wall Photos)

Is Andre this short or is Marcel just that tall??  

Love these two.

Last one for tonight: Ned as we love to think of him, thrusting a mike into someone’s face. Particularly like the backdrop in this one. It’s not quite La Boulangerie, is it?

What this picture doesn’t quite show is that Ned and Dave were stood on a traffic island.  Nothing says glamour quite like standing in the middle of the road with a Greggs in the background.

Trivia: Ned signed our Tour of Britain programme that day! He was perplexed when we refused his offer to address his signature to us personally and in turn we were perplexed that he would offer.  Awkward exchanges, I have them.

Team Sky do Sideways.

I made an Omega Pharma Quick Step photo story.

My inspiration for the story is the idea that the complex OPQS leadership rivalry expresses itself via impressions of faded and dated television characters at inopportune moments.  Previously recorded footage of Chavanel as Frank Spencer (“Ooh Jerome Betty”) and Boonen as Officer Crabtree from ‘Allo ‘Allo (“I was pissing by the door when I heard two shats!) was destroyed before the public could see it.

I also have a lot of time on my hands.

Q:Your arrival in cycling coincides with the case Contador, a case which impairs the image of the sport. Are you concerned about it?

A:It will depend on the CAS decision. It’s pretty bad start. When I see that in the commission called upon to decide, there is an Israeli judge, I think it’s wrong party. For it is in Israel as his team went to a training camp with the added bonus a reception with the government. I am honest, I have nothing to hide.


Q: You conclude what?

A: I personally think the game is over. It’s the truth. You can not have one side and an Israeli judge just this year went to Israel in training camp is officially received. I think I’m right.

Interview with Flavio Becca.

Google translated from the original French so slightly mangled but the implication is clear.

We could not save the name of the team but there is the logo. We will launch another O for the Tour of California… Yes, there will also be an O yellow.

Thanks to @teamskyfans for the link!

I don’t know if this statement is a dig at FYC or a personal ambition. The former would be uncalled for (and thus hopefully my misinterpretation) and the latter heartily endorsed ;p

Inspired by @DivingCaroline, my favourite tweets of 2011!

  1. Untimely but imperative grammatical teeth.
  2. Tony likes bumblebee, bumblebees like Tony (probably).
  3. Eddy unawares, so EBH. 
  4. A littel Fabianese, I tell you that.
  5. Edvald doesn’t do twitter, we’re missing gold.
